What was the official explanation from REPT Power regarding the 'naked running' incident at its Jiashan base?

According to REPT Power's official statement released on the evening of September 10, the incident occurred at its Jiashan base and was triggered by a dispute over resignation procedures: the employee had voluntarily submitted a resignation request and demanded immediate processing, but company policy requires a certain timeframe for formalities; when no agreement was reached on the timeline, the employee lost emotional control and engaged in extreme behavior.

Did REPT Power confirm the viral video was filmed at one of its facilities, and how did it address the false attribution to CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited)?

Yes, REPT Power confirmed the video was recorded at its Jiashan base—not at a CATL facility—as falsely claimed in the online caption; the company explicitly clarified that the incident involved its own employee and management process, thereby correcting the misattribution to CATL’s Ningde base and refuting the unrelated claim about a team leader denying restroom access to production workers.
