Tesla Charging Shakeup May Disrupt Biden EV Plans
Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan
Elon Musk's decision to overhaul Tesla's EV charging team and cut about 500 people may disrupt the Biden administration's EV infrastructure plans. This move has led to a surge in inquiries from landlords to other charging companies and could impact the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program's rollout. Tesla's strategy shift may also create opportunities for competitors like Blink Charging. Tesla's stock and exposure through ETFs like XLY and FDIS could be influenced by these developments.
