Today, I am going to talk about something that's been making headlines lately: Tesla's plans to expand its Giga Berlin Gigafactory in Grünheide, Germany.
So, what's the big deal about this expansion plan? Well, let's find out!
First things first, what is the Gigafactory? It's a facility where Tesla manufactures electric vehicles and batteries. Now, Tesla wants to expand this this Giga Berlin facility by more than 100 hectares, but there's a catch. They'll have to cut down some mixed forests, which include pine and deciduous trees. That's why Tesla needs to get approval from the local authorities before they can proceed with their plans.
But here's the good news: Tesla has announced that they'll be putting their plans and expert opinions about the forest and animals on public display. That means everyone can have a say about the expansion plan. The plans will be available for public review from April 6 to May 8, 2023, at the Grunheider Rathaus. You can also find the plans online on the municipal website.
So, what exactly is Tesla planning to do with the expansion site? According to official statements, they want to connect the current area to an additional area to the east, which is located between the rail line RE1 and country roads L23 and L38. This area will be used for a freight station with optimized rail and traffic routes. The plans also include logistics and storage areas, as well as places for recreation, training, and a kindergarten.
But why does Tesla need this expansion? Well, they say that with the expansion of the territory and the construction of the planned infrastructure, they can save 1,000 trucks per day, which are used for delivery. If storage facilities are close to railroad tracks, a lot of traffic can be transferred to the rails. That means less air pollution and less traffic on the roads.
