Elon Musk Boasts Tesla Built More EV Charging Infrastructure Than Amazon And Federal Government
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Thursday noted that his EV company Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has made more EV charging infrastructure in the U.S. than online retailer Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) or the federal government.
億萬富翁企業家埃隆·馬斯克週四指出，他的電動汽車公司特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）在美國建造的電動汽車充電基礎設施比在線零售商亞馬遜公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AMZN）或聯邦政府還要多。
What Happened: Musk was responding to television presenter John Stossel who took to X to opine that the private sector did more to expand EV charging infrastructure than the government.
發生了什麼：馬斯克回應了電視節目主持人約翰·斯托塞爾，他對X表示私營部門在擴大電動汽車充電基礎設施方面所做的比政府還多。
"Markets just work better than government," Stossel wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Despite huge investments, the Biden administration built fewer EV charging stations than Amazon which installed 17,000, he added.
斯托塞爾在X（前身爲Twitter）上寫道：“市場比政府運作得更好。”他補充說，儘管進行了巨額投資，但拜登政府建造的電動汽車充電站少於安裝了17,000個的電動汽車充電站。
"I think you mean Tesla?" Musk responded to which Stossel acknowledged that Tesla indeed installed many more.
“我想你的意思是特斯拉？”馬斯克對此做出了回應，斯托塞爾承認特斯拉確實安裝了更多。

Why It Matters: As per a report from Bloomberg in April, Amazon has installed over 17,000 chargers at about 120 warehouses around the U.S. to power its electric fleet.
爲何重要：根據彭博社4月份的一份報告，亞馬遜已在美國約120個倉庫安裝了超過17,000個充電器，爲其電力車隊供電。
Tesla's charging stations, meanwhile, are for private car owners. The company had 57,579 of its supercharger connectors around the world as of the end of the first quarter. In the U.S., the company currently has over 2,200 public supercharger locations with nearly 26,000 charging ports, according to data from the U.S. Department Of Energy.
同時，特斯拉的充電站是爲私家車車主準備的。截至第一季度末，該公司在全球擁有57,579個增壓器連接器。根據美國能源部的數據，該公司目前在美國擁有2,200多個公共增壓器地點和近26,000個充電端口。
The federal government, meanwhile, has only 41 station locations and 80 EV charging ports. Privately owned charging stations make up the majority of U.S. EV charging infrastructure, with 13,472 station locations and 60,213 charging ports.
同時，聯邦政府只有41個加油站和80個電動汽車充電端口。私人充電站佔美國電動汽車充電基礎設施的大部分，共有13,472個充電站和60,213個充電端口。
This is despite the huge investment into EV charging made by the Biden administration. In November 2021, Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The law included $7.5 billion in EV charging infrastructure, of which $5 billion was allocated to individual states. Earlier this month, Musk slammed the government for the lack of results despite the investment and said, "I'm starting to think that the government is ... not efficient at spending."
儘管拜登政府對電動汽車充電進行了巨額投資，但情況仍然如此。2021 年 11 月，拜登簽署了《兩黨基礎設施法》。該法律包括75億美元的電動汽車充電基礎設施，其中50億美元分配給各州。本月早些時候，馬斯克抨擊政府儘管進行了投資，但仍未取得成果，並表示：“我開始認爲政府... 支出效率不高。”
