E-car maker Tesla registered another company in Shaghai on May 10.

According to the registry, newly set up Tesla Shanghai will focus on electric cars, their spare parts and car batteries.

Tesla is reported to have been long considering opportunities to start manufacturing its automobiles in Shaghai in a bid to assume the leading role in the rapidly growing Chinese e-car market and thus to avoid import duties. It is not immediately known if the registered company is linked to these business plans.
