Tesla Gets Go-Ahead to Resume Clearing Forest in Germany

(Bloomberg) -- Tesla Inc. has overcome a legal roadblock standing in the way
of Elon Musk’s plan to build an electric-car factory in Germany.
A Berlin-Brandenburg court on Thursday ruled that Tesla can resume cutting
down trees at a forest site in the small town of Gruenheide to make way for
its first assembly plant in Europe. That puts the U.S. carmaker on track to
start construction before the start of a crucial breeding period for local
wildlife in March.
The court found that local authorities didn’t violate laws when they allowed
work on the factory to start, throwing out a complaint by Gruene Liga
Brandenburg, an environmental group that claimed Tesla and local authorities
were sidestepping regulations to rush the project.
The decision is a boon to Tesla’s ambitious timetable to have the plant up
and running by the middle of next year. The company plans to eventually
produce as many as 500,000 cars a year at the site, employing 12,000 people
and posing a serious challenge to Volkswagen AG, Daimler AG and BMW AG.
Musk, Tesla’s chief executive officer, recently tried to ease local concerns
about water usage at the plant, which would border a nature reserve.
Local officials had warned that construction could be delayed by six to nine
months if the forest isn’t cleared by mid-March. Tesla has already cut down
two-thirds of the trees and should be able to fell the remainder in time.
Brandenburg’s environment ministry this month gave Tesla a preliminary green
light to start cutting down trees in an area equivalent to 100 soccer fields
ahead of granting final approval. The court stopped the process with an
injunction on Feb. 15. By late Thursday, the appeals court ruled that legal
requirements to allow early construction were met.
Gruene Liga has warned that Tesla’s plant could threaten the region’s water
supply and overburden local transport infrastructure. The group argued that
authorities shouldn’t have allowed the forest to start being cleared until
after March 5, the deadline set for environmental groups to comment on the
project.
Local officials argue the site is an inferior pine forest planted to be
harvested in the first place. The planned factory is of “great significance”
to climate change prevention and one of the most important industrial
investments in eastern Germany “in a long time,” Economy Minister Peter
Altmaier told German publisher Funke Mediengruppe this week.
The factory will be designed with “sustainability and the environment in
mind,” Musk said last month on Twitter, adding Tesla will plant three new
trees for every one cut. The company still needs final approval for the
project from authorities in the state of Brandenburg.
Tesla will also have to scare off or relocate wolves, bats, snakes, ants and
lizards until construction is over. Under German regulations, the project
must consider the breeding period for local wildlife in spring.

Re: [EVDL] Both Taycan burnt-crisp> no-injures (v)
I have to disagree. Is it even a huge surprise? Yes, you would hope that it would never happen, but this is clearly part of the growing pains of a massively growing industry. But bad news for enthusiasts? That overstates it’s impact on the industry. It’s a sign of the growing industry, the need to improve the technology, and manage its risks. Bad incident, but not necessarily impactful to enthusiasts. - Mark Sent from my Fuel Cell powered iPhone > On Feb 20, 2020, at 7:08 AM, paul dove via EV wrote: > > That is not good news for EV enthusiasts.

It's Not Just Electric Vehicles. Gas Cars Catch On Fire,
Too!
2020-02-20 .. reignited misplaced fears that electric vehicles are prone to
bursting into flames ... it's important to understand that ICE also burst
into flames ... 11 times more likely ... 5,020 gas station fires per year
from 2004 to 2008 ... fires aren't just a problem for electric vehicles ...

February 20, 2020 Imran Malik [video https://youtu.be/dJ-inHgc8-E Porsche Taycan Fire and Explosion in a Florida Garage ] A brand-new Taycan, Porsche’s first electric vehicle, caught fire and was burnt to a crisp in Florida while it was parked in a residential garage. The fire totally gutted the EV and also caused thousands of dollars in damages to the garage where it was parked overnight - but fortunately there were no reported injuries. A full investigation is currently ongoing. “Late on the 16th of February, we were made aware of an incident at a residential address where one of our cars was parked overnight. We are investigating and we remain ready to assist if called upon. We are relieved to hear that no one was harmed in this incident, and that it’s too early to speculate on the cause until the investigation has concluded,” read a statement from Porsche. At this point in time, it is not clear how the sports saloon caught fire – but it is the first reported incident involving Porsche’s first electric car. However, this isn’t the first EV to catch fire; several high-profile models have gone up in smoke including a Jaguar I-Pace, Hyundai Kona EV, and a Tesla Model S while Audi recalled a few hundred E-Trons due to faulty batteries.
