France wants Elon Musk-led Tesla to build its next gigafactory in the country, CNBC reported on Wednesday, citing the country’s digital minister.
France has been courting Chinese EV giant BYD and Tesla to build factories in the country, officials had previously told Reuters.
“It will be great to have a Tesla factory in France. There has been a lot of effort and energy to make sure this is possible and this can happen,” Jean-Noel Barrot told CNBC.
