Tesla is continuing a sweeping reorganization and laying off some 500 employees from its Supercharger team.
As The Information first reported, Tesla is throttling plans to grow its U.S.-based Supercharger network, after striking partnerships with Ford, GM and others and agreeing to allow non-Tesla EV drivers to charge on its equipment.
In cutting that group, Tesla revealed it's throttling the expansion of its Supercharger network in the U.S. The move comes after Tesla struck partnerships withand other industry players ensuring they would manufacture cars using the Tesla NACS for compatibility with Tesla charging stations, and allowing those companies' customers to use Tesla stations.
Tesla gave no warning to investors about a pullback in plans to build out charging infrastructure. Nor did the company give a heads up to some charging network partners, including small and medium-sized businesses that install and maintain EV charging equipment for Tesla at key locations around the United States.
Pinter said he thinks"It will take years for the other charger networks to catch up," but Tesla abandoning a near-term plan to expand aggressively in the U.S. leaves room for other players.
