發生了什麼:根據汽車製造商和貿易商協會(smMT)的數據,儘管電池電動汽車的總註冊量增長了16%,但僅在7月,特斯拉的新註冊量下降了22%,至2462輛。
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.

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.
美國選手的命運對其他歐洲和中國球員有好處。特斯拉的最大競爭對手和禾倫·巴菲特的伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司支持的中國電動汽車巨頭比亞迪有限公司(場外交易代碼:BYDDY)在7月份的註冊量增長了848%,達到768輛。上汽集團旗下的MG的新註冊量也增長了2.7%,達到6,231輛。
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.

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.
爲何重要:在國內經濟放緩之後,中國汽車製造商一直專注於增加其在國外市場的市場份額。該國電動汽車品牌之間競爭的加劇也引發了激烈的價格戰,包括比亞迪在內的電動汽車製造商削減了價格以保持市場份額。
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,包括歐盟和美國在內的西方國家擔心,中國電動汽車的低價格可能會傷害國內參與者,因爲政府試圖通過徵收更高的關稅來限制進口。
