Ngokweengxelo zeendaba zangaphandle, i-CEO ye-Tesla u-Elon Musk wothuse i-giants ye-auto industry xa ekhetha idolophu encinane empuma yeJamani ukwakha i-factory yokuqala yaseYurophu yaseTesla. Ngoku, umpolitiki oye watsala utyalo-mali lukaMusk ngempumelelo eGruenheide ufuna ukwenza le ndawo ibe yindawo ebalulekileyo yokubonelela ngezithuthi zombane.

Kodwa uTesla akayedwanga eBrandenburg. I-German chemical giant BASF iceba ukuvelisa izinto ze-cathode kunye nokuphinda kusetyenziswe iibhetri eSchwarzheide kwilizwe. I-Air Liquide yaseFransi iya kutyala i-40 yezigidi ze-euro (malunga ne-US $ 48 yezigidi) ekuboneleleni kwendawo ye-oksijini kunye ne-nitrogen. Inkampani yase-US iMicrovast iya kwakha iimodyuli zokutshaja ngokukhawuleza kwiilori kunye neeSUVs eLudwigsfelde, eBrandenburg.

UMusk uthe iBerlin Gigafactory inokuthi ekugqibeleni ibe yeyona mveliso yebhetri inkulu emhlabeni. Amabhongo akhe amakhulu kunye nolu tyalo-mali lunyusa amathemba eBrandenburg okuba liziko lezithuthi zombane, ezinokubonelela ngamawaka emisebenzi. Ngexesha leMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi nasemva kokuwa koDonga lwaseBerlin, iBrandenburg yaphulukana noninzi lweshishini layo elinzima. Umphathiswa wezoQoqosho kwiphondo laseBrandenburg uJoerg Steinbach uthe: "Lo ngumbono endiwulandelayo. Ukufika kukaTesla kwenze urhulumente waba yenye yeendawo ekulindeleke ukuba iinkampani zizikhethele iifektri zazo. Xa kuthelekiswa nangaphambili, sifumene iConsulting ngakumbi amathuba otyalo-mali eBrandenburg, kwaye konke oku kwenzeke ngexesha lobhubhani. "
USteinbach uthe kudliwanondlebe ukuba izixhobo zokuvelisa ibhetri eziza kwakhiwa kumzi-mveliso waseTesla waseBerlin ziya kuba kwi-intanethi malunga neminyaka emibini. Ngaphambi kokuvelisa iibhetri eJamani, ugxininiso lukaTesla yayikukuhlanganisa iModeli Y kwisityalo saseGruenheide. Isityalo kulindeleke ukuba siqalise ukuvelisa iModeli Y phakathi konyaka, kwaye ekugqibeleni iya kuba nomthamo wonyaka wokuvelisa izithuthi ze-500,000.

Nangona inkqubo yokwakhiwa kwefektri ikhawuleza kakhulu eJamani, uTesla usalindele imvume yokugqibela karhulumente waseBrandenburg ngenxa yeengxaki zomthetho ezivela kwimibutho emininzi yokusingqongileyo. USteinbach uthe "akazange akhathazeke kwaphela" malunga nokuvunywa kweBerlin Super Factory, kwaye ukulibaziseka kwezinye iinkqubo zokulawula akuthethi ukuba umzi-mveliso awuyi kufumana imvume yokugqibela. Ucacisile ukuba isizathu sokuba urhulumente enze oku kungenxa yokuba exabisa umgangatho kunesantya sokuqinisekisa ukuba nasiphi na isigqibo sinokuhlangabezana nemingeni yezomthetho. Akucaci ukuba ukubuyisela umva ekupheleni konyaka odlulileyo kunokubangela ukuba i-factory ibambezeleke ukusebenza, kodwa wathi kwakhona uTesla akakabonakali naziphi na iimpawu zokuba imveliso ayiyi kuqala ngoJulayi.

USteinbach uye wakhuthaza ukusondela kweBrandenburg ukuya eBerlin, abasebenzi abanezakhono kunye neefektri zamandla acocekileyo ngokwaneleyo, okwanceda ukukhuthaza utyalo-mali lukaTesla eJamani ekupheleni kwe-2019. Kamva, wanceda uTesla ukuba enze iqela elikhethekileyo lokusombulula iingxaki ezijongene nenkampani, ukusuka emanzini. ukubonelelwa komzi-mveliso kulwakhiwo lweendlela zokuphuma zeendlela.

U-Steinbach uphinde wachaza inkqubo yelizwe enzima yokuvumela uMusk kunye nabasebenzi bakhe, esithi "ngamanye amaxesha kufuneka uchaze inkcubeko yenkqubo yethu yokuvuma, echatshazelwa kakhulu kukhuseleko lokusingqongileyo." Okwangoku, ngenxa yamalulwane e-hibernating kunye neengqayi zesanti ezinqabileyo, inxalenye yomsebenzi wefektri yaseTesla yaseBerlin kufuneka iphinde icwangciswe. USteinbach Steinbach ngusokhemisti osebenze kwiSchering Pharmaceuticals iminyaka engaphezu kweshumi.

USteinbach uzamile kangangoko ukwenza umsebenzi wakhe kakuhle. Ubonise iinkqubo zoncedo inkampani enokuthi ifake izicelo kwaye incedise ekunxibelelaneni nee-arhente zabasebenzi zasekhaya ukuxhasa ukufunwa kwabantu. USteinbach uthe: “Uninzi lweshishini libukele iBrandenburg nento esiyenzayo.

KuTesla, iBerlin Gigafactory ibalulekile. Njengoko iVolkswagen, i-Daimler kunye ne-BMW zandisa umgca wezithuthi zombane, oku kusisiseko sesicwangciso sokwandisa i-Musk yaseYurophu.

EJamani, umzi-mveliso omtsha kaTesla waqinisekisa umsebenzi ngeli xesha lokudakumba. Kunyaka ophelileyo, ukuthengiswa kweemoto zaseYurophu kufikelele kwirekhodi ephantsi. Phantsi koxinzelelo lokugxekwa ngenxa yotshintsho olucothayo kwizithuthi zombane, urhulumente waseJamani uChancellor u-Angela Merkel wanikezela uMusk isebe lomnquma, kwaye uMphathiswa wezoQoqosho waseJamani uPeter Altmaier naye wathembisa uMusk naluphi na uncedo olufunekayo ekwakhiweni nasekusebenzeni komzi-mveliso.
