BERLIN - A German court ruled Saturday that automaker Tesla has to stop clearing trees on some parts of the site outside Berlin where it is building the company s first electric car factory in Europe.
The top administrative court in the Berlin-Brandenburg region upheld an earlier temporary ban on the clearing of the forested site after two environmentalist groups appealed a lower courtâs decision to allow the tree-cutting. It specifically ruled that areas on the fringes of the plot where protected species live may not be cleared.
The court also said that Tesla had not provided demanded information on paying for possible environmental restoration projects until a deadline earlier this week, German news agency dpa reported.
