Tesla has lodged an application to double the production capacity of its plant near Berlin to 1 million electric vehicles a year
The world’s biggest maker of battery-powered electric cars also wants the plant — located about 30 kilometers southeast of the German capital — to manufacture more battery cells. If the plans are approved, Tesla\n \n ’s Gigafactory will be able to produce battery storage capacity of 100 gigawatt hours per year, up from 50 gigawatt hours at present, according to the application published by the country’s environmental authorities Wednesday. CNN has contacted Tesla for comment.
Volkswagen’s strategy in the United States, where Tesla is the biggest seller of EVs, also has a strong electrification component. “In North America, Volkswagen Group aims to significantly expand its market share. This includes investments in new electric vehicles and a factory for battery cells in Canada,” the company said in a statement last month. It added that the “iconic” Scout brand would be relaunched with all-electric vehicles.
