At the end of April, Musk made a large layoff of about 500 people in Tesla's supercharge department, including Rebecca, a senior director of global supercharge who has served for six years. Tinucci. But it wasn't long before he brought back some of those who had been fired.
Is the hypercharged network a chicken rib?
The so-called supercharge can be understood as "fast charging", and there are three main ways now:
One is the large voltage, is now the more mainstream 800v high voltage fast charge, Huawei, BYD, ideal, Xiaopeng and the Great Wall and other 11 car companies have also made a supercharge alliance, take the large voltage route.
The second is to change electricity, NiO is taking this way, and now also with Chery, Changan, Gillette, pull on the State Grid as a whole power change alliance.
The third is the high current, only Tesla and BYD are engaged in this, because the heat of the high current is very high, so the charging equipment is very demanding. Tesla is engaged in the charging line liquid cooling scheme, BYD is pushing the two-gun fast charging scheme.
