May 27, 2025, marks a symbolic milestone: the official launch of Tesla Morocco, a new subsidiary based in the prestigious Crystal Tower at the heart of Casablanca Marina. With a share capital of 27.5 million dirhams, the company is owned by the Dutch entities Tesla International B.V. and Tesla Motors Netherlands B.V.—a reflection of Tesla’s well-structured global expansion strategy.
Tesla’s entry into Morocco comes at a particularly opportune moment. The Kingdom has established itself as a leading industrial hub in Africa, especially in the automotive sector, with major infrastructure in Tangier, Kenitra, and Casablanca already attracting global players like Renault and Stellantis.
But it is Morocco’s renewable energy drive that truly sets it apart. A continental pioneer, the country is ramping up projects in solar, wind, and green hydrogen while pushing forward its strategy to electrify transport. This dynamic environment presents Tesla with the ideal opportunity to expand beyond the automobile sector and introduce innovative energy solutions.
Another key advantage lies in Morocco’s position as a global leader in phosphate production, a critical raw material for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. This battery technology, increasingly adopted by Tesla for its next-generation vehicles, opens the door to potential industrial partnerships with Moroccan players.
By establishing itself in Morocco, Tesla is doing more than tapping into a new market—it’s betting on a long-term partnership with a country undergoing a major energy transformation. This move aligns closely with Tesla’s commitment to clean mobility and a decarbonized planet.
