Tesla Reduces Supercharger Expansion, What's Up With Elon Musk?

JAKARTA - Shocking news came from Tesla towards the end of last week, Elon Musk decided to dissolve most of the company's Supercharger teams.

This decision, reported by Bloomberg, quoted May 6, could pose a special threat to electric car charging infrastructure in the United States and potentially disrupt the transition to electric vehicles in the region.

It was also mentioned that there are several possibilities behind this confusing decision. These possibilities include increasingly fierce competition, the current unattractive profit margin, especially from electric vehicle manufacturers, and Musk's focus on turning to robotaxi development.

Tesla's Supercharger network has numbered about 58,000 units and has become the standard for electric car drivers around the world.

Meanwhile, the impact of this slowdown in expansion will be the most acute in North America. There, the Supercharger network covers 74 percent of all ultra-fast chargers. And Tesla has consistently installed more ultra-fast chargers in North America compared to all other networks in the world when combined.
