NEW YORK – Tesla boss Elon Musk said on Friday the electric vehicle manufacturer would invest over $500 million this year to install new superchargers, just days after a report of massive layoffs in this branch of the company.

'Just to reiterate: Tesla will spend well over $500M expanding our Supercharger network to create thousands of NEW chargers this year,' Elon said on X.'That's just on new sites and expansions, not counting operations costs, which are much higher,' he added.According to tech news outlet The Information on Monday, Tesla was moving to disband its supercharger department, laying off most of its 500 workers as well as its senior director.

The fear of insufficient charging infrastructure is one of the reasons why sales of electric vehicles are progressing less rapidly than expected in the United States, and Tesla's well-developed network was seen as key to reassuring customers.In the spring of 2023, several competitors — Ford, General Motors and Rivian — entered into partnerships with Tesla so that their vehicles could use its fast-charging network in Canada and the US.
