Tesla Registrations In UK Dip 13% Till July End While Warren Buffett-Backed BYD, MG Motor Register Growth
The fate of the U.S. players served other European and Chinese players well. Tesla's biggest rival and Only 25,491 Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) EVs were registered in the UK this year till the end of July, marking a dip of nearly 13% from the corresponding period last year, according to industry data.
行业数据显示，今年截至7月底，英国仅注册了25,491辆特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）电动汽车，比去年同期下降了近13％。
What Happened: According to data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT,) new Tesla registrations in July alone slumped 22% to 2,462 units despite a 16% rise in overall battery electric vehicle registrations.
发生了什么：根据汽车制造商和贸易商协会（smMT）的数据，尽管电池电动汽车的总注册量增长了16％，但仅在7月，特斯拉的新注册量下降了22％，至2462辆。
U.S. automaker Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) also saw new registrations dip 31% last month to 7,814 units. Ford's Puma, however, featured in the top 10 most registered vehicles.
美国汽车制造商福特汽车公司纽约证券交易所代码：F）上个月的新注册量也下降了31％，至7,814辆。但是，福特的Puma在注册汽车的前十名中名列前茅。
The fate of the U.S. players served other European and Chinese players well. Tesla's biggest rival and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway-backed Chinese EV giant BYD Co Ltd. (OTC:BYDDY) witnessed an 848% jump in registrations to 768 units in July. SAIC Motor-owned MG, too, witnessed a 2.7% growth in new registrations to 6,231 units.
美国选手的命运对其他欧洲和中国球员有好处。特斯拉的最大竞争对手和沃伦·巴菲特的伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司支持的中国电动汽车巨头比亚迪有限公司（场外交易代码：BYDDY）在7月份的注册量增长了848％，达到768辆。上汽集团旗下的MG的新注册量也增长了2.7％，达到6,231辆。
The best-selling vehicle brand in the UK in July was German automaker Volkswagen which witnessed a 7.5% rise in registrations to 14,046 units. Volkswagen is seconded by BMW which had 9,885 new registrations.
7月份英国最畅销的汽车品牌是德国汽车制造商大众汽车，其注册量增长了7.5％，达到14,046辆。大众汽车由宝马支持，宝马新注册了9,885辆。
South Korean auto brand Kia also sold 9,764 vehicles in July, making it the third best-selling brand in the U.K., ahead of other German players like Audi and Mercedes Benz. Kia's sister brand Hyundai also witnessed a 16.7% rise in new registrations to 7,560 units.

Why It Matters: Chinese automakers have been focussing on increasing their market share in foreign markets following an economic slowdown at home. The increased competition among EV brands in the country has also given rise to an intense price war with EV makers including BYD slashing prices to retain market share.
为何重要：在国内经济放缓之后，中国汽车制造商一直专注于增加其在国外市场的市场份额。该国电动汽车品牌之间竞争的加剧也引发了激烈的价格战，包括比亚迪在内的电动汽车制造商削减了价格以保持市场份额。
However, Western nations including the EU and the U.S. are concerned that the low prices of Chinese EVs may harm domestic players with governments attempting to restrict imports by imposing higher tariffs.
但是，包括欧盟和美国在内的西方国家担心，中国电动汽车的低价格可能会伤害国内参与者，因为政府试图通过征收更高的关税来限制进口。
