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.
加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽瑟姆周二宣布，该州第二季度售出了超过11.8万辆新的零排放汽车，占该州所有汽车销量的25.7％，大幅超过了全国平均水平。
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.
发生了什么：根据加州能源委员会的数据，加州人在第二季度购买了118,181辆ZEV。零排放汽车包括电池电动汽车（BEV）、插电式混合动力车和燃料电池电动汽车。
"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.
纽瑟姆在一份声明中说：“加州继续证明反对者和怀疑论者是错误的，因为我们的创新是无与伦比的。”他还补充说，该州的重点是快速部署资金，用于开发满足需求增长的充电网络。
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.
根据加州新车经销商协会上个月发布的数据，截至第二季度末，加州的电动汽车市场份额为21.4％，远高于美国电动汽车7.5％的市场份额。据该协会称，特斯拉的新注册量在2024年上半年下降了17％，而Rivian Automotive的新注册量增长了近77％。但是，特斯拉的大众市场Model Y SUV仍然是该州最畅销的电动汽车，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.
为何重要：据《福布斯》报道，纽瑟姆周二表示：“我要为Rivian所做的出色工作鼓掌和感谢。”
"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."
“特斯拉不再是该领域的独家制造商。你会看到整个行业的竞争发生了巨大变化。这正是预料到的。这正是我们一直在提倡的：太空中的竞争。”
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.
特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克几年前以州政策分歧为由将特斯拉总部从加利福尼亚迁至奥斯汀，随后，他还将公司的注册迁至德克萨斯州。
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，马斯克还表示，他将把火箭制造公司SpaceX的总部从加利福尼亚的霍桑迁到德克萨斯州的Starbase。
