Tesla's recent layoffs of a significant portion of its Supercharger team, including top-level executives, have sparked concerns about the company's strategy in the electric vehicle (EV) charging market. The move, following a global workforce reduction, comes at a crucial time when Tesla was poised to dominate EV charging in the US and collaborate with other automakers.

Elon Musk's decision to disband the team has left industry experts and carmakers uncertain about accessing the Supercharger network and the future of EV charging standards. Despite this, major players like General Motors and Ford have affirmed their commitment to providing connectors for customers to use Tesla stations, hinting at potential shifts in Tesla's operational focus towards AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.
