Tesla calls up German mechanics

Gathering allies for the coming battery wars

US electric carmaker Tesla favours Germany as the location for its first European Gigafactory, according to its chief executive Elon Musk.

Industry experts expect a green car revolution to boost Europe’s battery market to around 250 billion euros by 2025. Asian companies including CATL and Samsung have already signed up companies or set up their European operations, prompting European politicians and business leaders to call for more home-grown investment.

Tesla's billionaire CEO Elon Musk said that Germany is a leading choice for Europe. Perhaps on the German-French border makes sense, near the Benelux countries. Tesla already has operations in Pruem, Germany, which is only 30 kilometers from Belgium, and about 100 kilometers from the French border.
