The future of Tesla Supercharging is uncertain following CEO Elon Musk's disbanding of the Supercharging team as part of a broader restructuring.
The roughly 500 layoffs included senior director of EV charging Rebecca Tinucci and Daniel Ho, director of vehicle programs.
"I would describe the Supercharger network as one of the crown jewels of Tesla," said Andres Pinter, co-CEO of Bullet EV Charging Solutions.
"Instead of doing victory laps and building the Supercharger network and reaping the benefits of this asset, suddenly there's this pause."
Musk said in a post that Tesla still plans to grow the Supercharger network, just at a slower pace.
