From the ashes of Elon Musk's decision to fire the whole Supercharger team last year, a new company has risen: Hubber, which will take its founders' expertise at setting up Tesla Superchargers and apply that to addressing the lack of high-speed urban charging for taxis and other commercial vehicles.
As we said at the time, firing the whole Supercharger team was a dumb decision. It was immediately obvious to everyone in the industry that it was a dumb decision, and Tesla did eventually relent and rehire some of the fired workers, but the damage was done - and not just for the charging team, but morale was made low throughout the organization.
