Elon Musk disbanded Tesla’s EV Supercharger team amid company-wide layoffs affecting employees worldwide. The 52-year-old Tesla chief also terminated senior executives.
The CEO demolished part of the unit responsible for installing electric vehicle charging stations, which raised concerns and uncertainty about expansions and the overall future of the EV charging network.
The dissolved unit played an important role in the success of EV sales in the United States because, without the chargers on the road, nobody would buy electric vehicles.
Dismissal of the EV Charger Team
This week, Musk sent an email to employees that was also viewed by The New York Times. In the letter, he said the “entire group of approximately 500 people” are set to be laid off. These workers are part of the group that built new Supercharger stations.
The Tesla chief said the company will finish the EV stations already under construction and build new ones, but only where they are needed the most.
The sudden dismissal of the EV Supercharger team surely caught many people off guard, including Andrés Pinter, co-chief at Bullet EV Charging Solutions, a company that installs Tesla EV chargers.
He said he was shocked after learning about the job terminations that included around 20 individuals who had been involved in some of the construction projects. “I see this as a shocking reversal from going all-in on the Supercharger network,” he stated.
Elon Musk Explains the Disbandment of the Supercharger Team
A day after the news of layoffs at the charger unit, Teslarati reported that Musk tried to explain why he made the decision. He said Tesla would still expand the EV Supercharger network, but this time, the company would do it at a slower pace.
He added that they will focus more on the upgrading and expansion of existing charging stations than building new ones. Musk’s reasons suggest that with these activities, Tesla will no longer need many workers for its EV charging business.
