Tesla is planning to double the capacity of its Berlin-area factory to produce up to one million electric vehicles (EVs) annually, potentially making it the largest auto manufacturing facility in Germany. The expansion aims to increase both vehicle and battery production capacities, pending the completion of an environmental-impact study and public input. This move reflects Tesla’s growing influence in the European EV market, where its Model Y and Model 3 are among the best-selling all-electric vehicles. The expansion, which addresses environmental concerns with solutions like wastewater recycling, will significantly increase the factory’s workforce and contribute to the region’s economic and sustainable development goals.
