Tesla Inc TSLA executive Rohan Patel sees electric vehicle charging infrastructure becoming an obligation for workplaces to retain their employees.
What happened: For most companies, workplace charging facilities are currently an “amenity” for employee happiness. However, this will soon change and will increasingly become a “necessity” for employee retention, Patel said.
Patel is vice president of public policy and business development at Tesla. The executive was responding to User X who praised Tesla for having charging infrastructure at its gigafactory in Texas.
Because matter: Lack of EV charging infrastructure and range anxiety continue to be a concern among potential EV buyers.
Tesla currently has over 50,000 superchargers globally and continues to increase these numbers. These superchargers, Tesla says, can add 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes, reducing the time you spend at charging stations.
Tesla also allows the installation of compressors in company properties that will be built and operated by the company.
The ideal supercharger hosting site, Tesla says, can support eight or more individual parking spaces and provide amenities such as restrooms, Wi-Fi, groceries and retail.
