s future Tesla The Supercharger market has become uncertain after Chief Executive Elon Musk disbanded the Supercharger team as part of a broader restructuring. About 500 people will be laid off this time, including Rebecca Tinucci, senior director of electric vehicle charging, and Daniel Ho, vehicle project director.
Musk’s sudden decision raised concerns about the future of Tesla’s electric vehicle charging system, which the company said has grown into one of the largest electric vehicle charging networks in the world, with more than 55,000 charging ports.
“I describe the Supercharger network as one of Tesla’s crown jewels. said Andres Pinter, Co-CEO of Bullet EV Charging Solutions. “Instead of us winning, building a network of Superchargers and reaping the benefits of this asset, we suddenly have this pause.”
Bloomberg reports Tesla has begun rehiring some of the group’s laid off employees, people familiar with the matter said on Monday.
It’s a difficult time for Tesla as the electric car maker grapples with market pressure and increasing competition in the industry.
Tesla formed partnerships with Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and other companies last year to open parts of its Supercharging network to non-Tesla drivers.
Musk said in the post Tesla still plans to develop a network of Superchargers, but at a slower pace. He also said he would invest US$500 million Network expansion will occur this year and thousands of new chargers will be created. Still, experts question how the recent cuts will affect the overall EV charging landscape.
“We really rely on Tesla’s leadership in North America,” said Chargeway founder and CEO Matt Teske. “I think all of a sudden there’s a sense that leadership seems to have paused or stopped or stopped, and that raises the question: Where do we go from here? , who will step forward?”
With Tesla’s next move, stakeholders and EV buyers alike are waiting to see how the decision will impact not only the charging landscape, but broader adoption of EVs.
