U.S. electric carmaker Tesla Motors Inc. said Friday its China president, Veronica Wu, has resigned, without giving a reason for her departure.

    The company, in a statement, said Tom Zhu, who now heads Tesla’s charging network development in China, would take over the role. Wu joined Tesla in December last year from the China unit of Apple Inc.

    The changes at Tesla come as China’s electric car market is showing signs of growth, fueled by a series of incentive policies from the government.

    China’s green vehicle market has attracted global players including Volkswagen AG, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. and BMW.(SD-Agencies)
