National and Regional service companies that will inventory spares nearby and have available professionals to replace faulty units do exist. How much talent does making some phone calls and signing a contract require?

Clearly a lot considering the general state of the chargepoint, evgo, and ea networks.

Also consider that Tesla's chargers have thus far failed to achieve 800V charging, which is a death knell for any future facing network.

You're conflating ops with engineering issues.

I'm not. I'm merely adding evidence that maintenance-only is not a coherent business decision for the supercharger network.

If the Electrical Engineers were included in this layoff I would be surprised. But as you say, they failed to meet the 800v goal, so they probably deserve it too.
