XCR1250 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 The Washington Post: ECONOMY Tesla retreat from EV charging leaves growth of U.S. network in doubt Sudden layoffs this week left Tesla construction vendors uncertain whether to carry on with the charging projects they were building. By Jeanne Whalen , Trisha Thadani and Faiz Siddiqui Tesla’s abrupt decision to lay off its electric-vehicle charging team and reduce its investments in public charging is a blow to the U.S. network, which has long relied on Elon Musk to build the bulk of the country’s fast chargers. The sudden layoffs this week left Tesla construction vendors uncertain whether to carry on with the charging projects they were building, though one vendor said the company has since confirmed that existing projects should continue.

Voodoo Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 We have complex rules that dictate how a vendor must charge for electricity at a retail level. No one that doesn't have a vested interest in EV's, is going to get involved. One can not simply set up a charging station, and charge someone an agreed upon fee for it's use. No, that would be too easy and not how the central bureaucracy rolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Danger Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 So Biden has a electric car gathering of all the top electric car mfgs and does not invite Tesla? Seems like if the US had a electric car strategy you would include the number one producer of EV's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
