California Governor Gavin Newsom Slams Elon Musk's Tesla, Applauds Rivian After In-State Zero-Emission Vehicles Sales Rise To Over 118K Units In Q2: 'Tesla Is Not The Exclusive Manufacturer Any Longer...'
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Tuesday that more than 118,000 new zero-emission vehicles were sold in the state in the second quarter, accounting for 25.7% of all vehicle sales in the state and trumping the national average by a significant margin.
加利福尼亞州州長加文·紐森（Gavin Newsom）在週二宣佈，第二季度該州銷售了超過118000輛新的零排放車輛，佔該州所有車輛銷售量的25.7％，遠高於全國平均水平。
What Happened: Californians purchased 118,181 ZEVs in the second quarter, according to the California Energy Commission. Zero-emission vehicles include battery electric vehicles (BEV,) plug-in hybrids, and fuel-cell electric vehicles.
根據加利福尼亞州能源委員會的數據，加利福尼亞人在第二季度購買了118181輛零排放車輛。零排放車輛包括電池電動車（BEV），插電式混合動力車和燃料電池電動車。
"California continues to prove the naysayers and skeptics wrong because our innovation is simply unmatched," Newsom said in a statement. He also added that the state is focused on rapidly deploying funds for the development of a charging network that meets the increase in demand.
“加利福尼亞州繼續證明了詆譭者和懷疑者是錯的，因爲我們的創新根本無法匹敵，”紐森在一份聲明中說。他還補充說，該州專注於迅速投入基金用於建設應對需求增長的充電網絡。
According to data from the California New Car Dealers Association released last month, California's BEV market share through the end of the second quarter was 21.4%, much higher than the U.S. BEV market share of 7.5%. As per the association, Tesla's new registrations fell 17% in the first half of 2024 while that of Rivian Automotive rose by nearly 77%. Tesla's mass-market Model Y SUV, however, continues to be the best-selling EV in the state, followed by the Model 3.
根據上個月加州新車經銷商協會公佈的數據，截至第二季度末，加州的BEV市場份額爲21.4％，遠高於美國的7.5％。根據該協會的數據，特斯拉的新登記量在2024年上半年下降了17％，而Rivian Automotive的新註冊量則增長了近77％。不過，特斯拉的大衆市場Model Y SUV仍是該州最暢銷的電動汽車，其次是Model 3。
Why It Matters: "I want to applaud and thank the extraordinary work that Rivian has done," Newsom said on Tuesday, as reported by Forbes.
爲何很重要：福布斯報道稱，週二紐森表示：“我要讚揚並感謝Rivian所做的非凡工作。”
"Tesla is not the exclusive manufacturer any longer in this space. You're seeing a dramatic shift in competition across the sector. This is exactly what was predicted. This is exactly what we have been promoting: competition in the space."
“Tesla在這個領域不再是唯一的製造商。您將看到整個行業的激烈競爭。這正是預期的。這正是我們正在促進的：這個領域的競爭。”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk moved Tesla's headquarters from California to Austin a few years ago citing disagreements with state policies, and subsequently, he also moved his company's incorporation to Texas.
特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）幾年前將特斯拉的總部從加利福尼亞州遷往奧斯汀，稱與州政府政策存在分歧，隨後還將公司註冊遷至德克薩斯州。
Moreover, Musk also said that he would be moving the headquarters of his rocket manufacturing company SpaceX from Hawthorne in California to Starbase in Texas.
此外，馬斯克還表示，他將把他的火箭製造公司SpaceX的總部從加利福尼亞州的霍桑遷往德克薩斯州的Starbase。
