charging infrastructure

For Tesla to make inroads, they need a charging infrastructure.Fortunately, Nishant Prasad was hired as charging manager.Prasad will be responsible for placing superchargers across the country and will also try to develop a plan to produce Tesla chargers for home use.Prasad was previously the head of charging infrastructure at Ather Energy, a company that was founded in 2008.They specialize in making electric scooters.Ather's charging infrastructure is called the Ather Grid.This is Tesla's second notable hire.The first hire is Manuj Khurana, who will become Tesla's head of policy and business development.

A little note

It wouldn't be a bad idea for Tesla to start making electric scooters to sell in and other countries where people rely heavily on them to get around.Tesla is unlikely to go this route, as Elon Musk said in 2018 that he believed electric scooters "lack dignity."

Looking to the future

Tesla is serious about entering the market.It appears that their products may be rolled out gradually, but this is just the beginning.Tesla may already be planning to build a Gigafactory.Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said he thought it would be a good place for Tesla to do business.Explaining this, Gadkari said, "I think this is a great opportunity for them to build a production plant because in terms of auto parts, Tesla already buys a lot of parts from manufacturers, so There will be vacancies.” Gadkari also said that he believes it will start to become a major producer of electric vehicles within the next two years, and that Tesla should start producing cars now.
