German Chancellor Backs Tesla Giga Berlin Expansion to Boost Green Tech Investment and Revive Economy

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has expressed support for Tesla's expansion plans for its battery plant in Gigafactory Berlin, stating that it is important to retain such companies in Germany and maintain prosperity. Tesla has requested approval for upgrades to the site, including the construction of a battery cell testing lab and the expansion of water recycling systems. However, the expansion plans have faced criticism due to the facility being in a water protection zone, with concerns raised about the impact on groundwater. Tesla aims to double production capacity to 1 million cars per year without increasing water consumption through the treatment and reuse of wastewater.
