LA Times source: “[Tesla] did not fire the entire Supercharger team. They mostly fired site acquisition, project management, marketing and some other things."


Non-Tesla EV drivers will want to double-check their routes before planning a road trip that relies on the Supercharger network. Not all California locations are open to other makes of EVs yet.

“Everything from interest rates to inflation to increased awareness of electric vehicle costs and challenges has negatively impacted EV demand," said Karl Brauer, industry analyst at iSeeCars.com. “We don't have specific numbers on how many are open to other drivers at this time,” said Lindsay Buckley at the California Energy Commission, the state agency in charge of electric vehicle infrastructure. Asked about the Tesla Supercharger layoffs, Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator Chief Executive Matt Petersen said, "While concerning, if there's a silver lining, it's that a lot of great, talented people are available to other companies in the charger space."
