What reasons could Tesla possibly have to lay off its Supercharger team when most consider it to be one of the company's prized jewels? Here are a few possibilities.

Tesla has fired its entire Supercharger division, staff who worked in the team say. There are over 50,000 Superchargers globally, the company says, making it the world's largest fast-charging network for electric vehicles.

The company's decision to eliminate the team building its charging infrastructure comes at a delicate time for the EV industry. Other players are eager to pick up where Tesla left off.

Bloomberg has learned that Tesla Inc. has eliminated most of its entire Supercharger organization that built a vast network of public charging stations in the US. Peter Vercoe reports on Bloomberg Television.

The newest round includes Tesla's policy team, director of new products, and the entire group responsible for Supercharger rollout.
