Around six months after restructuring its Supercharger team, Tesla has appointed Michael Snyder as its new head of charging infrastructure. Snyder, an electrical engineer with over a decade at Tesla, recently led the Megapack division, overseeing large-scale energy storage solutions for utility companies. His new role as Vice President of Energy and Charging reflects Tesla’s integration of its energy and charging segments, merging responsibilities across solar, Powerwall, Megapacks, and charging infrastructure.
This alignment follows a trend of rapid growth in Tesla’s energy and charging businesses, which have outpaced vehicle sales. Last quarter, energy revenue surged by 52% to $2.4 billion, while the charging-focused service business rose by 29% to nearly $2.8 billion.
Simultaneously, Tesla has unveiled plans for a large-scale charging park along California’s Interstate 5, between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The new site, named Oasis and located in Lost Hills, will feature 168 Superchargers powered by Tesla’s solar and storage products. A planned 11-megawatt solar array and ten Megapack units, with a combined 39 megawatt-hours of storage capacity, will make this charging site self-sustaining. This ambitious project, which combines Tesla’s energy and charging technologies, is set to open by mid-2025.
