Tesla Sales Slump As EV Registrations Rise In Britain, BYD Sees Surge
Tesla Sales Slump As EV Registrations Rise In Britain, BYD Sees Surge
New battery electric vehicle (BEV) registrations rose 10.8% in Britain in August despite a fall in registration of new Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) vehicles, according to industry data released Thursday.
8月份，儘管特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）新車註冊量下降，但英國新電動汽車（BEV）註冊量仍然增長了10.8％，根據週四發佈的行業數據。
What Happened: The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said that 19,113 battery electric vehicles were registered in August, marking an increase of 10.8% or 1,879 units from August 2023. The trade association pegs the rise in registrations to heavy discounting by EV makers, coupled with newer offerings.
發生了什麼：英國汽車製造商和經銷商協會（SMMT）表示，8月份有19,113輛電動汽車註冊，較2023年8月增加了10.8％或1,879輛。該行業協會將註冊量的增加歸因於電動汽車製造商的大幅折扣，以及提供更新型號。
American EV giant Tesla, however, saw new vehicle registrations drop 25% to 3,013 units. Tesla's biggest rival and Chinese EV maker BYD Co (OTC:BYDDY), however, witnessed an over 1000% jump in registrations to 438 units.
美國電動汽車巨頭特斯拉，然而，新車註冊量下降了25％，爲3,013輛。特斯拉最大的競爭對手和中國電動汽車製造商比亞迪股份有限公司（場外交易代碼：BYDDY），則新車註冊量激增超過1000％，達到438輛。
SMMT now expects about 364,000 battery electric vehicles to be registered through the end of the year, grabbing a market share of 18.5%.
SMMT現在預計，到年底將有約364,000輛電動汽車註冊，佔據18.5％的市場份額。
Rival Performance: Overall vehicle registrations, across fuel types, fell 1.3% in Britain last month, owing to a 10% drop in registration of petrol vehicles in particular. Diesel and plug-in hybrid vehicle registrations also slumped 7.3% and 12.3%, respectively. August is traditionally one of the quietest months of the year for new car sales, SMMT noted.
競爭對手錶現：上個月，英國各種燃料類型的整體車輛註冊量下降了1.3％，這主要歸因於汽油車的註冊量下降了10％。柴油車和插電混合動力車的註冊量分別大幅下滑了7.3％和12.3％。SMMT指出，8月份傳統上是汽車銷售的最安靜之月之一。
"August's EV growth is welcome, but it's always a very low volume month and so subject to distortions ahead of September's number plate change," SMMT Chief Executive Mike Hawes said. "The introduction of the new 74 plate, together with a raft of compelling offers and discounts from manufacturers, plus growing model choice, will help increase purchase consideration and be a true barometer for market demand."
英國汽車製造商和經銷商協會首席執行官邁克·霍斯表示：「8月份的電動汽車增長令人欣喜，但這始終是一個非常低成交量的月份，因此可能會扭曲9月份的車牌更換數量。新的74車牌的推出，以及製造商提供的一系列誘人優惠和折扣，再加上不斷增加的車型選擇，將有助於增加購買考慮，併成爲市場需求的真實晴雨表。」
Volkswagen continues in its position as the best-selling auto brand in the U.K., despite a 4% drop in new vehicle registrations last month.
儘管上個月新車註冊量下降了4％，大衆仍然保持在英國最暢銷汽車品牌的地位。
