Brandenburg could become home to another major electric vehicle manufacturing facility as Chinese company Dreame Technology considers building a factory in the German state. The potential investment comes just years after Tesla established its Gigafactory in Grünheide, signaling continued international interest in Brandenburg's automotive manufacturing capabilities. Dreame Technology, primarily known for its smart home appliances, plans to enter the ultra-luxury electric vehicle market starting in 2027.

The company has confirmed it is "considering the construction of a factory in Brandenburg" following a visit to Germany by CEO Yu Hao and other company representatives. While specific locations remain undisclosed, reports suggest the company has been examining potential sites in the region. The Brandenburg State Chancellery has deferred comments to the economic ministry, which maintains its policy of not commenting on potential business settlements while closely monitoring relevant industry developments.

According to Alexander Gallrein of Brandenburg's economic development agency, the state currently lacks developed land parcels large enough to accommodate a facility comparable in scale to Tesla's 300-hectare complex. Gallrein noted that while Brandenburg's administration demonstrated remarkable speed during the Tesla settlement process, developing new sites of similar magnitude would require several years of preparation work. The economic development agency has reportedly been examining areas along highways for potential future development.

Local citizen initiatives in Grünheide have raised concerns about the potential environmental and social impacts of another large-scale industrial project. The groups criticize what they perceive as insufficient transparency, noting that residents first learned about the potential development through foreign media reports rather than official channels. The citizen initiatives worry about increased demands on water and energy resources, as well as potential strain on local infrastructure and labor markets, drawing parallels to concerns raised during Tesla's establishment in the region.
