Electric vehicles are able to hold their place on the road at a fast pace with the increase in fuel pricing. While there has been much competition in the universe of electric vehicles. Now it has been observed that Tesla is once again stretching its boundaries. This is by preparing for a massive expansion of its Berline-based factory. The aim is to be better than all of Europe’s existing car production capabilities.
The U.S.-based EV maker has freshly approached German authorities and looking for permission for extensive changes at its Berlin Gigafactory. This initiates the first step of its bold plan that could convert the facility into Europe’s biggest production unit. Therefore, if all goes to plan then we might be seeing a million Tesla cars produce yearly. This is along with the amazing 100 GWh of battery production by 2024.
The overall upgrade is not about just increasing the quantity but more about innovative changes. Documents released by local environmental and water authorities disclosed Tesla’s vision for the factory’s future. It reveals the company’s grand blueprint that shows the construction of a battery cell testing lab, an extended water recycling program, and several changes. Along with new alterations to the existing infrastructure. This includes a material storage facility and enlargement of the press shop as well as a paint shop.
However, Tesla’s motive for expansion has created a difference of opinion among the locals. All of them are mainly related to environmental impact and water usage. While the company has faced considerable delays because of these concerns. But Tesla, being a master of innovation has already a plan to address these issues. The expansion plan also comprises the commitment for maintain the same water usage levels by recycling process.
Tesla’s proposed plan will develop more units than Volkswagen’s Wolfsburg plant
It seems like Tesla’s progressive European expansion has not been done without controversy. On the other hand, knowing Musk’s tendency, the potential result would position the company to lead the European EV market. Thus, if all the pan of action could execute successfully then more cars can be developed annually than Volkswagen’s Wolfsburg plant.
Presently, the Grunheide plant produces about 5,000 cars per week. Also, when the proposed plant is set and running in full swing mode then the automotive world shakes up with the high voltage. Tesla’s Berline factory is ready for a transformation upgrade but the road forward is far from smooth. And as time passes towards the deadline for local objections, everyone has their focus on this innovative motive for a sustainable future.
