Shanghai: Tesla broke ground on a massive battery factory in Shanghai on Thursday, Chinese state media reported, making it the US electric car giant's second plant in the financial hub.
The project was announced last April after boss Elon Musk presented a vague but ambitious plan to investors to turbocharge growth.
However, the company last month reported a 55 percent drop in quarterly earnings, reflecting a decline in EV sales in an intensively competitive market.
The new Shanghai factory should make 10,000 units per year of Tesla's Megapack batteries, state news agency Xinhua said.
Tesla says Megapacks are intended to store energy and stabilise supply for power grids, with each unit able to store more than three megawatt-hours of power.
