为什么令人印象深刻的速度不足以在美国销售电动汽车?
Why Impressive Speed Won’t Be Enough To Sell EVs In The U.S.
译文简介
电动汽车(EV)的加速比汽油车更快,最高速度也更高。曾经作为“绿色选择”的它们,现在已经将巨大的动力带到了普通车主的脚下。CNBC在密歇根州庞蒂亚克的M1赛道上驾驶了三款电动汽车——一辆起亚EV6 GT-Line、一辆保时捷Macan 4S Electric和一辆奥迪RS e-tron GT。
正文翻译
EV’s have quicker acceleration than gas cars and reaching higher top speeds. Once the “green choice,” they have now put a tremendous amount of power at the feet of even ordinary car owners. CNBC drove three of them at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan – a Kia EV6 GT-Line, a Porsche Macan 4S Electric and an Audi RS e-tron GT. The experience proved what insiders say – EVs, in many ways, are superior machines. Yet, with the disappearance of federal support for them, automakers are pulling back on production. U.S. sales lag the rest of the world, and they may fall further now that incentives have dried up. Here’s why EV’s are more powerful than their gas counterparts, why automakers have still struggled to replicate Tesla’s success and what is needed to sell them now.

Top speed doesn't matter here in the US, as we don't have an Autobahn equivalent where you could go at any high speed at all outside of a race track. Give me a cheap and reliable car that gets me from point A to point B. Done. No fancy gadgets, Phablet touch screens or other crap.
在美国,最高速度并不重要,因为我们没有类似德国高速公路的地方,除了赛道外,你不能随便高速行驶。给我一辆便宜又可靠的车,能从A点到B点就行。别要什么花里胡哨的配件、巨大的触摸屏或其他乱七八糟的东西。

Almost all EVs in the USA are targeting the luxury segment of the market. In 2026 there are a number of new models scheduled that are aspiring to move toward lower price points like slate, upxed leaf and bolt. Fingers crossed that they can do well.
美国几乎所有的电动汽车都在瞄准奢华市场。到2026年,会有一些新车型推出,计划往更低价格点发展,比如Slate、更新版的Leaf和Bolt。希望他们能做得好。

I had a Ford C-Max hybrid sedan and I drove it all around the country getting about 40 miles a gallon. The performance was absolutely amazing when it came to acceleration and maneuverability. I think it only ended up failing for two reasons: people started looking down the road and realizing it was going to cost them a fortune when the battery system eventually needed to be replaced, and also Ford really dropped the ball when it came to promotion. They developed it as a niche model and really only gave it minimal promotion in Europe. I personally think that hybrids should be the answer, only once the recent developments in sodium based batteries are fully realized and made affordable
我曾经有一辆福特C-Max混合动力轿车,我开着它环游了全国,油耗大约是每加仑40英里。当谈到加速和机动性时,性能非常惊人。我认为它最后失败有两个原因:人们开始看到,等电池系统需要更换时,它会让他们花一大笔钱;此外,福特在推广方面确实犯了错误。他们把它开发成了一个小众车型,在欧洲几乎没有做什么宣传。我个人认为混合动力车应该是解决方案,只有当最近的钠基电池技术完全实现并且变得可负担时。
@MattGaskinsYT
9:56 This comment saying EVs don’t corner is wildly inaccurate. With a low, centralized center of gravity and low polar moment of inertia (due to a lack of weight from a big heavy engine on top of/in front of the steering axle), most EVs handle and steer extremely well.
9:56 这条评论说电动汽车转弯差是完全不准确的。由于电动汽车具有低而集中的重心,并且由于没有一个重的发动机放在转向轴前面或上方,其极低的极转动惯量,大多数电动汽车的操控和转向非常出色。
@xtuff501
500+ HP and instant torque might be fun to drive once in a while, but is absolutely useless when you're stuck in traffic jams on daily commutes.
500+马力和瞬时扭矩可能偶尔开着好玩,但在日常通勤的交通堵塞中完全没用。
@ksnax
The Kia EV6 tested was NOT a "GT" if it only got a 4 second zero to sixty, and the one pictured definitely wasn't. The GT-Line is a sub-trim on the performance front.
测试的起亚EV6并不是“GT”版,如果它的0到60英里加速只用了4秒,而图片中的车绝对不是。GT-Line是在性能方面的一个子级别。
@KP-xi4bj
Range per charge and energy usage efficiency are the most important aspects of any EV.
电池续航和能效是任何电动汽车最重要的方面。
@MurseTech64
Quick acceleration for sport isn't the biggest selling point. Instant torque in a useful situation such as on ramp merging, passing lanes, and accident avoidance is amazing. Charging at home is so much better. The lower maintenance is great. Gas feels absolutely ARCHAIC in comparison.
运动型的快速加速不是最大的卖点。在实际情况中,如合并车道、超车道和避险时的瞬时扭矩非常棒。家里充电方便得多。低维护成本也很棒。与此相比,加油简直显得非常古老。
@divaychandra1
this is typical report on EVs in the US...they will never test drive a tesla or a rivian...never talk about tesla charger network...talk about bad evs on bad charging networks to make your point... the bottom line is always to scare you out of buying an ev...always the same
这就是美国关于电动汽车的典型报道……他们永远不会试驾特斯拉或瑞维安……永远不会谈论特斯拉的充电网络……总是拿糟糕的电动汽车和糟糕的充电网络来说事,以此来证明自己的观点……最终的目的总是吓你不要买电动汽车……总是一样的套路。
@wydryfly
Here lies the perfect smear campaign being constantly advertised that people don’t want EVs. I now own three. I’ll never go back to an IcE vehicle. There are legacy corporations that will disappear if ICE vehicles go the way of the DoDo. They Will fight tooth and nail to stay relevant. I walked into a auto parts store and did a long hard look at what I’ll never need again, fuel cleaners, grease, transmission fluid, brake fluid, exhaust items, belts, hoses, etc. none of these things needed for an EV. These companies will use every dollar to fight EV adoption and will not go quietly into the night.
这正是一个完美的抹黑宣传,不断被宣传让人们不想买电动汽车。我现在拥有三辆电动汽车,永远不会再回到内燃机车。还有一些传统公司,如果内燃机车像恐龙一样消失,它们也会跟着消失。它们会拼尽全力保持相关性。我走进一家汽车配件店,仔细看了一下,我再也不需要的东西:燃油清洁剂、润滑脂、变速器油、刹车油、排气系统部件、皮带、软管等。这些在电动汽车上都不需要。这些公司会用尽每一分钱来抵制电动汽车的普及,并且不会轻易放弃。
@jolyonwelsh9834
I'll be lucky to afford a mobility scooter. I would choose the afikim S4 scooter with a rain canopy. The nice thing about it is that you can drive it right into the store.
我能负担得起的可能只是一个行动代步车。我会选择Afikim S4带雨棚的代步车。它的好处是,你可以直接开进商店。

Chinese BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme electric hypercar is faster than Bugatti and currently holds world record as the fastest car ever produced. Top speed is over 308 miles per hour or nearly 500 km/hour
中国比亚迪仰望U9 Xtreme电动超级跑车比布加迪还快,当前保持着世界纪录,是有史以来最快的车。最高时速超过308英里每小时,或接近500公里每小时。
@datianlongan5567
For EV to become mainstream in the US, we need better charging infrastructure and more affordable EV models. Most families would have difficulty justifying EV at the current price point and charging limitations.
要让电动汽车在美国成为主流,我们需要更好的充电基础设施和更实惠的电动汽车车型。目前大多数家庭很难接受电动汽车的价格和充电限制。
@SomethingElse4U
What is that lady talking about regarding the cornering? Why would an EV corner worse with a lower center of gravity? My experience has been the exact opposite. My EV corners a lot better than my ICE vehicle and I stuck with the same brand, so it’s not like that’s the difference.
那位女士说的转弯问题到底是什么?为什么电动汽车有更低的重心反而转弯会更差?我的经验完全相反。我的电动汽车转弯比我的内燃机车好得多,而且我还是坚持同一品牌,所以这不是区别所在。
@andreipop1
You missed the point. People want afordable cars, to reffil or charge the battery fast and get good range, and to be comfortable. And want that for all car segments, since other countries use smaller cars. No one need 300+ hp in a small city or a big city since they might stay in traffic. And they might be ok in a straight line, but sometimes people get to corners and the weight can be felt there.
你错过了重点。人们需要的是负担得起的汽车,快速充电或加油,并且续航好,同时舒适。而且这种需求适用于所有车类,因为其他国家使用的小型车更多。在小城市或大城市中没有人需要300+马力的车,因为他们可能会遇到交通堵塞。而且可能直线加速没问题,但有时人们会遇到转弯,车重就能感觉到。
@lluow
The US EV market is so falling behind. Even here in Australia we have better options. It’s hilarious to see CNBC carefully not to mention too much about Chinese EVs while China pretty much dominate the EV production.
美国的电动汽车市场真是落后得太多了。即使在澳大利亚,我们的选择还更好。看到CNBC小心翼翼地不提中国电动汽车,真是太可笑了,而中国几乎主导了电动汽车的生产。
@maximlg253
My tesla was super fun with instant torque. But I sold it due to insurance rates going sky high and prospect of significant depreciation as tech improves quickly. My gas toyota has almost three times lower insurance rate and will definitely last long time with no issues.
我的特斯拉开起来非常有趣,瞬间扭矩很爽。但由于保险费飙升以及随着技术迅速进步可能出现的严重贬值,我把它卖掉了。我的油车丰田保险费几乎是特斯拉的三分之一,而且肯定能使用很长时间,没有任何问题。
@motormusique
China is apparently now restricting all EVs to a 5 second 0-100kmh acceleration time, at least in its standard mode. This makes sense as governments need to restrict acceleration of EVs, they should also be weight limited because they are so much heavier than gas vehicles and are much more threatening to others on the road.
中国显然现在限制所有电动汽车的0到100公里加速时间,至少在标准模式下是这样。这是有道理的,因为政府需要限制电动汽车的加速性能,同时它们也应该限制重量,因为它们比油车重得多,而且对其他路上行驶的车辆更具威胁。
@juantrucal
I have never understood why car makers try to sell fast cars when there is speed restriction ALL OVER USA.
我从来不理解为什么车企要卖快速汽车,而美国到处都有速度限制。
@Phantastikal
Chinese made electric cars were not discussed. They are even better and cheaper. USA is just trying to stop the inevitable collapse of American garbage made cars now a days.
中国制造的电动汽车没有被讨论到。它们更好、更便宜。美国只是在试图阻止美国制造的垃圾车不可避免的崩溃。
@cJeremy
one big issue is also the battery.. can they really last 200K miles and really have like over 75% of health? i guess. but not all. and the battery replacement costs like $15-20K.
also the insurance is much more expensive. there's no savings anymore.
一个大问题是电池……它们真的能跑20万英里并保持超过75%的健康状态吗?我猜是可以的,但不是所有的电池都能达到这个标准。而且电池更换的费用大约是15-20K美元。保险也贵得多,现在几乎没有什么节省了。
@hikalox
I think the biggest advantage of electric vehicles is that they are compatible with autonomous driving.
我认为电动汽车最大的优势是它们与自动驾驶兼容。
@xmetalmanuelx
What is that lady talking about with bad cornering? The lower center of gravity and weight distribution makes EVs amazing around corners. But maybe she’s putting down purple sectors at Nuremberg in a Sienna.
那位女士说的转弯问题到底是什么?电动汽车较低的重心和更好的重量分配使得它们在转弯时非常优秀。也许她在塞纳的纽博格林赛道上跑圈,才会这样说吧。
@pjeverly
The things that I worry about are, resale, repairability, and the cost of insurance. Not to mention sitting around at a charging station for an hour or more if I don't have a home charger. People do think about the total cost in time and money when they buy a car. The car industry is quite robust for ICE cars. Hopefully it will be for EV's in the future. But right now, it is not.
我担心的是转售、维修和保险费用。更不用说如果我没有家用充电器,还得在充电站等待一个小时或更久。人们在买车时确实会考虑时间和金钱的总体成本。内燃机汽车行业在这方面非常健全。希望未来电动汽车也能如此。但现在,电动汽车的行业还不够健全。
@matthewhuszarik4173
BEV just don’t have the same cost convenience as ICEV. If the prices comes down or they develop more usefulness then maybe. The same reason most people don’t buy sports cars. They don’t need sports cars they want cost effective convenience and usefulness.
纯电动汽车(BEV)在成本便利性上无法与内燃机汽车(ICEV)相比。如果价格降低或它们开发出更多的实用性,或许可以考虑。就像大多数人不买跑车一样,他们不需要跑车,他们想要的是成本效益高、方便且实用的车。
@ShadowLancer128
Tesla's aren't heavier in their respective classes. They just have lower weight distributions, and they have regenerative braking that bites the tire just as soon as the throttle is done biting the tire as well. That causes more wear on the tires than a typical gas car that loses ~40% of its energy as soon as you're done accelerating the car.
特斯拉在同级别车中并不更重。它们只是有较低的重量分布,而且它们有再生制动系统,在油门一松时就能让轮胎产生摩擦,这比典型的油车更容易造成轮胎磨损,因为油车在加速结束时大约有40%的能量浪费掉了。
@handlealreadytaken
I keep hearing that EVs are progressing rapidly but it feels like not a lot has really change at the core since the S launched 10+ years ago. Yes more chargers and options but range and charge times are still around the same. Even with the additional chargers, free ones are becoming rare and the stations are still over loaded.
我一直听说电动汽车在迅速进步,但感觉自从特斯拉S发布以来,核心技术并没有发生太大变化。是的,充电桩和选择更多了,但续航和充电时间还是差不多。即使有了更多的充电桩,免费的充电桩越来越少,而且充电站还是超负荷。
@nanfad
In 10 years Chinese EVs will dominate the global markets except in the USA we’re Americans will be driving big gas trucks and SUVs. Can the American car manufacturers survive only in the American market??
十年后,中国的电动汽车将主导全球市场,除了美国,在那里美国人将继续开着大型油气卡车和SUV。美国汽车制造商能否只在美国市场生存下去呢?
@raspas99
High performance was crucial for selling evs to the public? You are off the Mark there by a lot. Getting the price of affordable and making them reliable was crucial and that might be the reason why they are not sold to the public completely yet. I mean if the manufacturers don't know that and motor journalist doesn't know that we are kinda lost.
高性能对电动汽车向公众销售至关重要吗?你这个观点有点偏差。把电动汽车价格做得更实惠、让它们更可靠才是关键,这可能就是为什么它们还没有完全进入市场的原因。我的意思是,如果制造商不明白这一点,汽车记者也不明白,那我们就有点迷失了。
@leroyisaac1708
I have had 3 EVs. Two were leases and used as a commute car. I am on my third EV, and it is a Mini EV. I only use it as a local car, since the range is only 111 miles. I live in San Francisco, so the size and range is perfect! The Mini EV is over 5 years old, and I still have the same driving range. I am very curious to see how the battery does over the next 5 years. I think my new favorite affordable EV would be the new Nissan Leaf. I am just glad that buyers have an option to buy a gas or an electric car.
我有过3辆电动汽车。两辆是租赁的,用作通勤车。我现在是第三辆电动汽车,是一辆Mini EV。我只用它当作本地用车,因为它的续航只有111英里。我住在旧金山,所以它的尺寸和续航完全合适!这辆Mini EV已经超过5年了,续航还是和以前一样。我很想看看它的电池在接下来的5年会怎样。我觉得我新的最喜欢的平价电动汽车是新的日产Leaf。我很高兴买家现在有选择购买汽油车或电动汽车的机会。
@The_._._Truth
Why arent there more EV car start ups aside from Tesla in the US? With all the tariffs going on, it is the best time for them to appear. We need more competition
为什么除了特斯拉之外,美国没有更多的电动汽车初创公司?在这么多关税的情况下,现在是它们出现的最佳时机。我们需要更多的竞争。
@doomy_doomy2225
I would buy an EV if it didn’t cost a lot more. With nee cars requiring a lot more engine and building up more carbon that requires more expensive flushes, then yeah I would get an EV if the costs in the long run were cheaper. Never met someone that hated their Tesla in the real world outside of the Internet hive mindset. Heard great things about Prius’s too.
如果电动汽车不贵,我会考虑买一辆。现在的新车需要更多的引擎和更多的碳排放,这些都需要更贵的清洁费用。所以,如果从长远来看,电动汽车的成本更低,我当然会选择买电动汽车。在现实生活中,我从没遇到过讨厌特斯拉的人,除了网络上的极端观点。我也听说普锐斯非常好。
@adamselene9264
The constant loud vehicle exhaust noise problem in the U.S.A. characterizes the current condition of the U.S.A. which is that 1) the U.S.A. is technologically behind, and 2) the U.S.A. is morally behind. 1) The noise is caused by combustion engines, which are obsolete technology. 2) People are using vehicles to produce combustion exhaust which is lethal air pollution, and also they are producing never-ending illegal noise pollution.
美国当前的车辆排气噪音问题反映了美国的现状:1) 美国在技术上落后,2) 美国在道德上也落后。 1) 噪音是由燃烧引擎产生的,而燃烧引擎是一项过时的技术。 2) 人们使用汽车排放燃烧废气,这些废气是致命的空气污染,同时他们也在制造源源不断的非法噪音污染。
@clausbecker9350
The issue of charging is nonsense. Most EVs can go three to four hours at highway speed; by then you really should be taking a break, for safety. By the time you're back from Starbucks and a trip to the bathroom (takes longer By . the car will be ready for another three hours of driving. that's enough to get you from Boston to DC. Anything longer than that, and I'm taking an airplane. Also, even if you have to wait a little bit for the car to charge., that is more than compensated for by all the time you save by charging at home as opposed to going to gas stations
充电问题是无稽之谈。大多数电动汽车在高速公路上行驶三到四小时后,应该是时候休息一下了,出于安全考虑。等你从星巴克回来,去趟洗手间(比预计时间更长),车子就差不多充好电,可以再开三小时。这样就足够从波士顿到华盛顿了。超过这个时间,我宁愿坐飞机。另外,即使你得等一会儿车充电,那也比你去加油站加油节省了更多时间,充电在家里比在加油站方便得多。
@tomschmidt4164
Unsafe at any speed! Nobody except professional race car drivers and experienced driving enthusiasts has the skills to manage the torque and HP now available in both ICE cars and EVs. For the first time in history, performance needs to be regulated and restricted. It is ludicrous to think that there is any "need" whatsoever for this level of performance, given the obvious dangers that it presents to everyone on road, including bikers and pedestrians. I owned a 77 Corvette with only 180hp and that was more than enough for me (ok, not really since I'm currently looking for a later model Corvette). But my point remains, when it comes to EVs, it's gotten way out of hand.
在任何速度下都不安全!除了职业赛车手和经验丰富的驾驶爱好者之外,没有人具备驾驭现在内燃机车和电动汽车所拥有的扭矩和马力的能力。这是历史上第一次需要对性能进行监管和限制。考虑到它对所有道路使用者,包括骑车人和行人带来的明显危险,认为需要这种级别的性能简直是荒谬的。我曾拥有一辆77年的科尔维特,只有180马力,对我来说已经足够(好吧,实际上我现在正寻找一辆更新款的科尔维特)。但我的观点是,对于电动汽车来说,情况已经失控。
@joeperrone6677
The biggest issue with performance EV's is weight - they are too damn heavy to corner and handle well; and they have very short range if you push them hard.
高性能电动汽车最大的问题是重量——它们太重了,无法在过弯和操控上表现得好;而且如果你用力开,它们的续航会非常短。
@JayBirdPhotos
You too can buy an EV that prioritizes top speed and acceleration vs safety and proper driving. People that own these things dont know how to drive and they dont know how to handle that much power. Not what we need on the road. Tesla drivers are already bad enough as it is jumping off the line at a signal and weaving in and out of traffic.
你也可以买一辆优先考虑极速和加速度,而不是安全和正确驾驶的电动汽车。拥有这些车的人不知道如何开车,也不知道如何处理那么大的动力。这不是我们在路上需要的。特斯拉车主已经够糟糕了,总是从信号灯处猛地起步,在车流中穿梭。

Not a single Tesla, eh? A Tesla Model 3 Performance would embarrass most of those. The Audi is the exception, but only barely, and you can have THREE Model 3 P's for less money. Lol. And you could totally embarrass the Audi with a Model S plaid and still have enough money left over to buy a Model 3 P for the weekdays and you'd STILL have $15k left over. lolol
一辆特斯拉都没有吗?一辆特斯拉Model 3 Performance会让大多数那些车都感到尴尬。奥迪是个例外,但也只是勉强,而且你可以用比奥迪便宜的钱买三辆Model 3 P,哈哈。而且你完全可以用Model S plaid轻松超过奥迪,剩下的钱还足够买一辆Model 3 P当做工作日车,甚至还能剩下1.5万美元,哈哈哈。
@CritCommanda
Internal combustion engines have hundreds of moving parts to go wrong. Ev's require no oil changes, can corner real fast because all the weight is in the floor and are not being stolen. You wont hear that though from corporate controlled media sabotaging ev's to protect petroleum investments. I agree BYD should not be banned, protectionism protects domestic corporate profits at the detriment of everyone having to pay more.
内燃机有成百上千个运动部件容易出问题。电动汽车不需要换油,重心低,可以快速过弯,而且不容易被盗。你不会从企业控制的媒体那里听到这些,它们故意抹黑电动汽车,以保护石油投资。我同意,比亚迪不应该被禁,它的保护主义只是保护国内企业利润,却让每个人都得为此支付更高的费用。
