中国乘用车市场信息联席会(China passenger Car Association, 简称：乘联会)周二表示，比亚迪股份有限公司(BYD Co., 1211.HK, 简称：比亚迪股份) 7月份乘用车销量同比增长逾两倍，达到16.2万辆以上。比亚迪自己公布的数据显示，其中约一半为纯电动汽车，其余为混合动力汽车。巴菲特(Warren Buffett)支持的比亚迪已成为特斯拉(Tesla Inc., TSLA)的一个强大竞争对手。 6park.com

乘联会数据显示，7月份特斯拉中国销量同比下降14%，仅略高于2.8万辆；在这些特斯拉上海工厂制造的汽车中，有近2万辆出口到中国以外市场。特斯拉经历了坎坷的一年，不仅在今年春季受到抗疫封控措施拖累，上个月其上海超级工厂优化升级也导致部分停产。 6park.com
Tesla’s China unit saw sales fall 14% last month from a year ago to just over 28,000 cars, the association said.

Tesla has had a bumpy year following a Covid-19 lockdown in the spring and an upgrade to its Shanghai gigafactory that partly halted production last month.



在更广泛的竞争领域，许多名气不大的中国初创公司也崭露头角，一些公司上个月纷纷创下销量纪录。哪咤汽车(Hozon Auto)、零跑汽车(Leap Motor)和赛力斯(Seres Group Co.)均表示，7月份销量超过了1万辆。赛力斯与华为技术有限公司(Huawei Technologies Co.)合作开发电动汽车。目前，比亚迪、哪咤和零跑在售汽车中均有车型起售价约为特斯拉最便宜车型的三分之一。 6park.com
A number of lesser-known Chinese startups are also emerging in a wider field of competitors, with some clocking up record sales last month.

BYD, Hozon and Leap all have models available for prices starting at around a third of Tesla’s cheapest vehicle. 6park.com
惠誉国际评级(Fitch Ratings)的汽车业分析师Jing Yang说，中国二三线城市对较低价电动汽车的需求正在增长，这有助于本土品牌的销售。她说，各品牌的竞争力最终将取决于车型的价格、附带的智能功能，以及对本地用户需求的了解程度。 6park.com

She said the competitiveness of brands will eventually be determined by the prices and intelligent features of models as well as their understanding of local drivers.
