美国电动车梦想为何破灭？

@glurhack
It's not the enthusiasm that cooled down, it's the average household income that froze to death
 
冷却的不是热情，而是家庭收入冻结到死亡。
 
@INVAZOR33
American auto makes failed because they don't want to make utilitarian vehicles and insist in doing status symbols. Not even a wall of tariffs could compensate for their mediocrity.
 
美国汽车制造商失败的原因在于他们不愿意制造实用的车辆，反而坚持做身份象征。即使是高额关税也无法弥补他们的平庸。
 
@tonyson8721
All of these plants still not producing cars that people can afford.  The average car is now $50K.
 
所有这些工厂仍然没有生产人们负担得起的汽车。现在平均汽车价格已经达到5万美元。
 
@gastonpierre1705
If Americans don't  want to buy electric cars why is the US government putting a 100% tariff on them.  Why????? Why is it all the time you try to buy one that is a lil affordable the dealer tells you it not a good idea....  
 
如果美国人不想购买电动车，为什么美国政府要对它们征收100%的关税？为什么？每次你试图购买一辆稍微实惠一点的车时，销售商都告诉你这不是个好主意……
 
@sergiomessina2037
Why is the rest of the world adoption of EV’s increasing except here in the United States? Seems like all the reasons you’ve mentioned skirted the real issues here. The low demand is because of politics, and poor, expensive options to purchase. Let’s see the adoption of EV‘s once Chinese EV‘s are allowed in the United States. Anybody remember the 1970s with Japanese cars?
 
为什么世界其他地方的电动车采用率在增加，唯独美国不行？似乎你提到的所有理由都回避了这里的真实问题。低需求是因为政治因素，以及购买选项贫乏、昂贵。让我们看看中国电动车进入美国后，电动车的采用情况如何。有人还记得1970年代的日本车吗？
 
@kevinlin4895
Because the US is the only country that has an ideological issue with Chinese EVs. The rest of the world, at worst only has an economic issue with them, and economic issues can be negotiated. The US can not abide by Chinese success at any level, so they rather ban outright, even if it means screwing over themselves by buying inferior products that are more expensive.
 
因为美国是唯一一个对中国电动车有意识形态问题的国家。其他国家最多只是和它们有经济问题，而经济问题是可以协商的。美国无法容忍中国在任何层面的成功，因此他们宁愿直接禁止，哪怕这意味着购买更贵且质量较差的产品。
 
@brucel7430
Even if the US let cheap Chinese EV's in, the US still lack the infrastructure, not only the charging stations, but also the power generations. Now peopel are complaining the price of electricity with the AI compaines buying up the power, imagine what will it look like when swtich to EVs. The US , both federal and local government, don't do long term planning well, lack of investement for infrastrcuture for the furtue is a big obstacle.
 
即使美国允许廉价的中国电动车进入市场，美国仍然缺乏基础设施，不仅是充电站，还有电力生成。现在人们在抱怨电价，因为人工智能公司在争夺电力，想象一下如果转向电动车会是什么情况。美国联邦和地方政府在长期规划方面做得不好，未来基础设施投资的缺乏是一个大障碍。
 
@VibnWavez
I don't think there's any problem with them (besides cost but that's everything) ... it's the infrastructure. Nobody wants to fight for a spot to charge, wait half an hour, and also contend with the pretty high odds you might run low and end up somewhere that has no chargers. Cart before the horse type shii
 
我认为它们没有任何问题（除了成本，但这所有东西都是这样）……问题在于基础设施。没有人愿意去争抢充电位，等半个小时，还要面对你可能电量不足并最终到达没有充电桩的地方的高风险。这种情况就是把马车放在了马前。
 
@tyrannosaurusinf1488
Car makers expected to charge a premium for EVs and everyone has less money to spend. Result: not enough sales. If you let Chinese EVs compete in this market, then you'd see the actual interest in them.
 
汽车制造商预计电动车会收取更高的溢价，但每个人可支配的钱却少了。结果是销量不足。如果让中国电动车在这个市场竞争，你就会看到人们对它们的实际兴趣。
 
@darrylcurley6200
This is what happens with automakers do not listen to the consumer what they prefer the most then follow the hype they over stock what the consumers did not want that much of because they still prefer combustion engines and hybrid of choice
 
这就是汽车制造商不倾听消费者偏好时发生的事情。他们追随潮流，过量生产消费者并不太想要的产品，因为他们仍然更喜欢内燃机和混合动力车。
 
@garyclack3807
EVs aren’t going away.If US auto makers don’t want to build them then bring on the Chinese
 
电动车不会消失。如果美国汽车制造商不想制造它们，那就引入中国的吧。
 
@losmoney82
The infrastructure that's necessary is a pipe dream at this point. The U.S. can't even take care of our current roads and bridges that need an overhaul.
 
所需的基础设施在这一点上简直是一个空想。美国甚至连当前需要彻底改造的道路和桥梁都无法处理好。
 
@Sect10n31
The majority of Americans today live in apartment buildings within cities. Where the hell are you going to recharge your EV??
Most buildings want no part in the thermal runaway fire risks associated with recharging EVs in garages & on premise. Throw in the greater insurance costs & expensive regulatory building code requirements that prevents an EV fire from burning down the place & you'll come to the same conclusion... Where the hell are you going to recharge your EV?!!?
 
今天大多数美国人住在城市的公寓楼里。你打算在哪里给电动车充电？大多数建筑都不想处理与电动车在车库和现场充电相关的热失控火灾风险。再加上更高的保险成本和昂贵的建筑法规要求，这些都会阻止电动车火灾烧毁地方，你会得出同样的结论……你到底打算在哪里给电动车充电？！！
 
@Buzzmonkey24
Walmart just announced they are building charging stations on their properties , also subsides are going away soon, while EV agreed to a standard starting this year 2026 with the charging cable , So i think something else is brewing . I mean even ELON did not like EV Subsides so , we will see what happens sooner then later , EV companies need to build SUVS for families and pick up trucks  that cost less then Gas and not of the level of some mortgages . example Fords First 90,000 dollar F150 lightening ridiculous
 
沃尔玛刚刚宣布将在他们的物业上建立充电站，同时补贴很快就会消失，而电动车已经同意从2026年开始使用统一的充电线缆。所以我认为还有其他事情正在酝酿。我是说连马斯克都不喜欢电动车补贴，所以我们将拭目以待，电动车公司需要为家庭制造价格低于燃油车的SUV和皮卡，而不是某些抵押贷款水平的车型。例如，福特的第一款9万美元的F150电动版实在荒谬。
 
@TheLobo91
Markets go up and down. Pure EV just outsold pure gas cars in Europe. It doesn't matter what the US does the rest of the world will move forward without the USA. Trump is really good at bankrupting everything around him.
 
市场总是波动。纯电动车在欧洲的销量已经超过了纯汽油车。美国的做法无关紧要，世界其他地方将继续前进。特朗普真的擅长让他周围的一切破产。
 
@passby8070
The world have reached 25% adoption rates without much contributions from North America last year,  up from less than 5% 5 years ago.
 
去年，全球电动车的采用率达到了25%，而北美几乎没有太大贡献，相比五年前的不到5%有了显著增长。
 
@hellburner5093
Mostly new car made are computers in itself. In case of EV that's a forking workstation. People want cars to commute from point A to Point B. Not a 65 inch screen to look at it while driving.
 
现在大多数新车本身就是电脑。对于电动车来说，这是一种复杂的工作站。人们希望汽车能从A点通勤到B点，而不是在驾驶时盯着一个65英寸的屏幕。
 
@BrentMoll
Yes, the best way to recover is to review what is selling and manufacture more of those vehicles.   Disconinue the ones which are not. Meet demand,  not try to cram krap down people's throats that they do not want at unaffordable prices.
 
是的，恢复的最佳方式就是审视哪些车型畅销，并生产更多这样的车辆。停产那些不受欢迎的车型。满足需求，而不是强迫消费者接受他们不想要的昂贵垃圾。
 
@prebaned
Never trust a auto manufacturer future claims. GM and Ford both stated full in the EV push, then started pulling the plug. They react to sales as thier production development investments. Maybe they should listen to thier customers and potential customers. Making a EV truck thats 30% more expensive than its ICE counterpart, less range, less towing capacity isnt what any consumer asked for.
 
永远不要相信汽车制造商对未来的承诺。通用汽车和福特都曾全力推进电动车发展，但随后又开始缩减计划。他们的生产开发投资是根据销量来调整的。也许他们应该倾听他们的客户和潜在客户。制造一款比内燃机版本贵30%的电动卡车，续航更短，拖拽能力更弱，这不是任何消费者所期望的。
 
@chriscross1737
Can't believe the US is regressing. Once the front runner for innovation, now lags behind China.
If the US does not accept innovation and continue to be selfish, they will lose allies and status pretty fast.
 
真不敢相信美国在倒退。曾经是创新的领跑者，现在却落后于中国。如果美国不接受创新并继续自私下去，他们将很快失去盟友和地位。
 
@lynngraycom
It doesn’t really have to do with EVs, it’s because automakers got greedy and designed to focus on premium products at low volume vs cars for the everyman.  Putting this on consumers is missing the mark.  EVs should be simple and cheap, not exotic luxury items.
 
这实际上与电动车无关，而是因为汽车制造商变得贪婪，设计上专注于低销量的高端产品，而不是适合普通人的汽车。把责任归咎于消费者是错位的。电动车应该简单且便宜，而不是奢侈的豪华商品。
 
@cuddlepoo11
Wait until the US auto industry pushed out of all markets except US and then the Chinese and other EV’s arrive in the US.  Goodbye US auto maker jobs.
 
等到美国汽车产业被挤出所有市场，只剩下美国市场，然后中国和其他电动车进入美国市场时，就再见美国汽车制造业的工作了。
 
@doujinflip
All this attention on EV cars, but we hear little of making more chargers and improvements to the electrical infrastructure behind it.
 
大家都在关注电动车，但我们很少听到关于增加充电站和改善电力基础设施的讨论。
 
@bobbyfaison
The demand & acceptance are not the issue for the US market. It's the government creating directly opposing policy to deter EV market growth and promote fossil fuels. Every other country that has embraced EVs has seen the growth of EVs outpace ICE.
 
需求和接受度并不是美国市场的问题。问题在于政府制定了直接对立的政策，以阻碍电动车市场的增长，促进化石燃料的发展。每个拥抱电动车的国家都看到电动车的增长速度超过了内燃机。
 
@DennisFahlstrom
EV and home solar are falling apart because big oil has bought out our politicians. If you doubt that, take a look at some places where it is growing and flourishing even though they haven’t got the best weather for it — like Northern Europe, China, Korea and Scandinavia. Another reason the US market has tanked is that US vehicle makers got greedy jacking up EV prices beyond the means of a majority of their own market.
 
电动车和家庭太阳能正在崩溃，因为大石油公司收买了我们的政治家。如果你对此有疑问，可以看看一些即使在最差天气条件下仍然蓬勃发展的地方——比如北欧、中国、韩国和斯堪的纳维亚地区。美国市场下滑的另一个原因是，美国汽车制造商贪婪地将电动车价格抬高，超出了大多数消费者的承受能力。
 
@cgraham6
Proof that it was government mandates driving the entire EV industry. Government endlessly increasing CAFE standards and telling automakers that more and more of their fleet had to be EVs BY LAW forced them to invest billions into EV production. When Trump helped to strike down the state mandates and subsidies, true market demand was free to work.
 
这证明了政府强制措施推动了整个电动车行业。政府不断提高CAFE标准，并告知汽车制造商他们的车队中必须按法律规定增加越来越多的电动车，迫使他们在电动车生产上投资数十亿美元。当特朗普帮助取消州级强制措施和补贴时，真正的市场需求才得以自由发挥。
 
@Darhan62
Range anxiety and lack of charging stations...  Fix those two issues and consumer sentiment will change.
 
续航焦虑和充电站不足……解决这两个问题，消费者的态度就会改变。
 
@acevedolc
You may mention this, but insurance is more expensive for EVs. What you save in gas you pay in insurance. I'm also suspecious of the pricing strategy. The tax incentives may have been use for price increases.
 
你可能提到过这一点，但电动车的保险费用更高。你在油费上节省的成本在保险上又花掉了。我对定价策略也持怀疑态度。税收优惠可能被用来提高价格。
 
@kevinkent6351
Only Tesla made a meaningful investment into charging infrastructure. The other players gave up and are mostly using Tesla chargers. The very poor charging infrastructure is a huge contributor to low demand.
 
只有特斯拉对充电基础设施进行了有意义的投资。其他竞争者放弃了，大多使用特斯拉的充电桩。极其糟糕的充电基础设施是低需求的一个重要原因。
 
@keshmild
Without owning a house you cannot charge at home. This is a huge blocker when buying an EV. Plus, dealers never push EVs as it isn't as profitable to them because of a low maintenance.
 
没有房子就无法在家充电。这在购买电动车时是一个巨大的障碍。而且，汽车经销商从不推销电动车，因为电动车的维护成本低，对他们来说利润不高。
 
@longbeach225
EV too high because of tariffs blocking competition and a President who wants to send the country back instead foward. You can buy a small Chinese EV for $ 5000.
 
电动车价格太高是因为关税阻碍了竞争，还有一个想要让国家倒退而不是向前发展的总统。你可以以5000美元的价格购买一辆小型中国电动车。
 
@legostud
It isn’t that consumers don’t want EVs, it’s more that in some areas the infrastructure isn’t there to charge them.  The other factor is the cost to purchase them.
 
并不是消费者不想要电动车，而是某些地区缺乏充电基础设施。另一个因素是购买成本。
 
@FastlifeTodd
My question is as of December 2025 renters make up 44 million people in the United States. Not to mention condos apartments etc who would pay for the EV chargers to be installed and what would that look like in the future.
 
我的问题是，到2025年12月，租户在美国占到了4400万人。此外，还有公寓、住宅等，谁会为安装电动车充电器买单，未来会是什么样子？
 
@choicesii1
Problem with EVs is not the EV, but more so electric costs outpacing gas. Not due to consumers, but companies using more electricity and people are all using the same grid. Also it doesn't help when you see an EV for 40k+, then in China it goes for 10k and looks better.
 
电动车的问题并不在于电动车本身，而是电价上涨速度超过了汽油价格。这不是由于消费者，而是公司使用更多电力，大家都在使用同一个电网。而且，当你看到一辆电动车售价超过4万美元时，而在中国只需1万美元且外观更好，这也无助于改善情况。
 
@jorgecintron9674
The government/OEM’s have forced us to buy Gas vehicles for over a century. We finally have a better option but most people have been institutionalized for decades so they don’t know any better. The incentives given to EV’s thus far is a literal drop in the bucket to what the oil industry has had for over 100 years.
 
政府和汽车制造商强迫我们购买燃油车已经超过一个世纪。我们终于有了更好的选择，但大多数人已经被制度化几十年，所以他们不知道更好的选择是什么。迄今为止给予电动车的补贴对比石油行业100多年来获得的支持只是微不足道的一部分。
 
 
@Sect10n31
Only TOYOTA got it right with their gas-electric HYBRIDS across their ENTIRE product line, because one does not simply run BEFORE they learn to walk first.
Tesla is actually an AI/software company that needed to manufacture & sell MILLIONS of EVs to gather the data crucial to training their AI software. It didn't hurt that profits from selling EVs also helped Tesla to finance FSD & other AI endeavors.
 
只有丰田在他们整个产品线中正确地做到了油电混合动力，因为一个人不能在学会走路之前就想要跑。特斯拉实际上是一家人工智能/软件公司，他们需要制造和销售数百万辆电动车来收集对训练他们的人工智能软件至关重要的数据。销售电动车的利润也帮助特斯拉融资全自动驾驶（FSD）和其他人工智能项目。
 
@jarednovel
This  only gives China a rare opportunity to completely dominate the global EVs sales for so many years to come. How come China was able to sell more EVs globally than Internal combustion engine cars in 2025
 
这只给中国提供了一个罕见的机会，让他们在未来许多年里完全主导全球电动车销售。为什么中国在2025年能销售的电动车数量超过内燃机汽车？
 
@Mlu007M
Listening to customers is not always the right move. EVs are the future. They just need to be efficient in manufacturing them and lower the costs.
 
倾听客户的意见并不总是正确的选择。电动车是未来。它们只需在制造上提高效率并降低成本。
 
@NomenClature-o8s
EV owner here. it’s fantastic if you can charge at home like me. But fewer and fewer people live in single-family homes these days.
 
我是电动车车主。如果像我一样可以在家充电，那就太好了。但如今越来越少的人住在独立住宅里。
 
@n1vca
Nobody can expect a country who votes for such a president to understand anything and go for any long term economic goals and environmental improvements ... they will drive their country full speed against a wall if nothing happens very soon!
 
没有人能指望一个投票给这种总统的国家理解任何事情，去追求任何长期的经济目标和环境改善……如果不很快采取行动，他们将以全速撞向墙壁！
 
@antonio_fosnjar
Who would have thought that changing laws left and right every year or so would lead to a complete uncertainty in the market. Companies spend few billion one yeay and then it turns out that current government dropps all support, then the next one premises full support...
 
谁会想到每年左右就改变法律会导致市场完全不确定。公司花了数十亿后，结果发现现任政府取消了所有支持，而下一个政府则承诺提供全面支持……
 
@robfala6624
Think the biggest mistake the auto ev industry has made was not to adopt the same thinking that founder ford adopted....make a ev that everyone can afford and not just for the middle class to rich...And also make the infrastructure much bigger(reliable) and available to all.
 
我认为电动车行业最大的错误就是没有采用福特创始人所采用的思维方式……制造一款人人都能负担得起的电动车，而不仅仅是面向中产阶级到富裕阶层……还要让基础设施更大（可靠）并对所有人可用。
 
@davidstrom7425
With the US industry as far behind as they are, I think any retreat from EVs is a retreat from building vehicles at all. What are they thinking they will be producing??
 
鉴于美国汽车工业落后得如此严重，我认为任何对电动车的退缩都是对整个汽车生产的退缩。他们在想他们将会生产什么？
 
@justinshiosaka9897
As a consumer if I was to buy a new vehicle I would buy a hybrid over a  EV I had a Toyota Camry hybrid as rental car while on vacation it was phenomenal getting 50+ mpg great range for long road trips  just fill it up like a normal vehicle no waiting at a charging station
 
作为消费者，如果我要买一辆新车，我会选择混合动力车而不是电动车。我在度假时租了一辆丰田凯美瑞混合动力车，油耗超过50英里/加仑，长途旅行的续航表现也很棒，只需像正常车辆一样加油，不用在充电站等候。

@TheAefril
Did anyone consider the cost of living and in practical terms how much disposable income people can afford to pay for an EV these days?
 
有没有人考虑过生活成本，以及在实际情况下人们能支付多少可支配收入来购买电动车？
 
@xiphoid2011
As a Chinese immigrant,  I can tell you that it all comes down to whether it makes financial sense. You build EVs that cost more than gasoline ones, with shorter range, takes longer to fill up, and hard to charge for people who don't live in a house, of course most people are not going to buy EVs.
 
作为一个中国移民，我可以告诉你，这一切归根结底都要看是否经济合理。你们生产的电动车比燃油车贵，续航更短，加油时间更长，对于不住在独立住宅的人来说充电也很困难，当然大多数人不会选择购买电动车。
 
@marinonacci1816
The public buys whatever is marketed to them. If it is told EV's are bad sales drop. This is the power of the fossil fuel lobby. EV's will replace ICE vehicles long term. New tech has always replaced old tech. Just the way it is.
 
公众购买的东西都是被营销出来的。如果说电动车不好，销量就会下降。这就是化石燃料游说团的力量。电动车长期会取代内燃机汽车。新技术总是会取代旧技术，这就是事实。
 
@4svideosforschool
Remove the tariffs on Chinese EVs and we shall see what the demand is in the USA. The US consumer needs EVs will a lower price. Bring on the competition!
 
取消对中国电动车的关税，我们就能看到美国的需求。美国消费者需要价格更低的电动车。让竞争来吧！
 
@skyblueo
I remember all the flak that the so-called experts gave Toyota for not running headlong into pure EVs. Toyota put their chips on hybrids. Looks like they were the experts and the industry "experts" drank the EV coolaid.
 
我记得那些所谓专家对丰田不急于转向纯电动车的批评。丰田把赌注押在混合动力上。看起来他们才是真正的专家，而行业“专家”则喝了电动车的冷饮。
 
@kevinmahoney9205
I live in a State where they dump salt all over the roads in the winter. I will never spend more than $30k for something that is going to rust away, ICE or electric. I've come to terms I will never own a new car again.
 
我生活在一个冬天到处撒盐的州。我永远不会花超过三万美元去买一辆会生锈的车，无论是内燃机还是电动车。我已经接受我将永远不会拥有新车的事实。
 
@RB-yj9ng
Canada is allowing Chinese EVs in the coming months. It's just a matter of time before American auto companies feel the impact.
 
加拿大将在未来几个月允许中国电动车进入市场。美国汽车公司感受到影响只是时间问题。
 
@danielcapson9842
Look at Europe, China, and Australia and you'll see clearly see how free markets without the propaganda and legislative control that the Oil Industry has on our government.
 
看看欧洲、中国和澳大利亚，你会清楚地看到自由市场没有石油行业对我们政府的宣传和立法控制。
 
@charleswright9957
Why don't we talk about oil subsidies and why we are still giving big oil billions every year?
 
为什么我们不谈谈石油补贴，以及为什么我们每年还在给大型石油公司数十亿美元？
 
@RonnieLeeDuck
This video omits an important part of the story which is that Ford and GM are still committed to next gen EVs.  While they haven't come to market yet,  they are far down the road to the point they are not turning back on it.  Ford is already a few months in to doing a ground up retooling of their Louisville factory for EVs.  You don't commit to that unless they are going to market.
 
这个视频省略了一个重要部分，那就是福特和通用汽车仍然致力于下一代电动车。虽然他们尚未上市，但他们已经走了很远，根本不会回头。福特已经开始对其路易斯维尔工厂进行全面改造，以生产电动车。除非他们打算上市，否则不会做出这样的承诺。
