Tesla's former China factory head Song Gang to join renewable energy firm Envision, sources say

Reuters12-19 15:42

SHANGHAI, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Tesla's former China plant manager is set to join Chinese renewable energy group Envision, two sources familiar with the matter said on Thursday.

Song Gang, who announced his departure from Tesla on Wednesday, is set to take on supply chain management duties at Envision, one of the sources said.

Envision did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Song also did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent on LinkedIn.

Headquartered in Shanghai, Envision is one of the world's largest wind turbine companies and has research centres in Denmark, the U.S., Germany and other countries.

It also operates a Nissan Motor Co Ltd battery supplier in the U.S. and is building new battery plants in South Carolina, Spain, France and the United Kingdom.

Song, who became Gigafactory Shanghai's manager in 2018, informed Tesla employees that Wednesday would be his last day, according to the note seen by Reuters. The Shanghai plant is Tesla's largest factory by output and also exports to Europe and Southeast Asia.
