Automakers Are Doing Their Best To Combat The EV Slowdown
Automakers Are Doing Their Best To Combat The EV Slowdown
This month, Worksport Ltd (NASDAQ:WKSP), a well-established innovator and manufacturer of "made-in-the-USA" pickup accessories and off-grid power solutions, initiated the Alpha launch of its clean power duo, the solar-powered tonneau cover SOLIS and COR mobile battery power generator. Also in September, Worksport announced it conducted successful lab test results of its COR portable energy system as a range extender for Tesla EVs, including the Model 3 and the Cybertruck. Ford Motor (NYSE:F) is trying to revitalize the sagging EV demand by addressing range anxiety or more precisely, by providing easier access to charging. Specifically, Ford offered free chargers by the end of the year in hopes to boost EV sales and leases.
福特汽車(紐交所:F) 正在努力振興下滑的電動汽車需求，方法是解決續航焦慮或更準確地說，通過提供更容易獲得的充電。具體來說，福特希望到年底提供免費充電樁，以期提振電動汽車銷售和租賃。
Ford's Attempt To Revive EV Demand
福特汽車試圖振興電動汽車需求
As of October 1st, all those who buy or lease a Ford Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning pickup truck or E-Transit Cargo van receive the benefit of a free charger as well as of its installation. After its EV roadtrips across Europe and western U.S., Ford came to a realization that by focusing on the charging infrastructure on the road, automakers neglected that homes are the most reliable and consistent charging station for EV owners.
截至10月1日，所有購買或租賃福特野馬 Mach-E、F-150 閃電皮卡或 E-Transit 貨車的人都將獲得免費充電樁及安裝的好處。在通過歐洲和美國西部的電動汽車旅行之後，福特意識到，通過專注於道路上的充電基礎設施，汽車製造商們忽視了家庭是最可靠和穩定的電動汽車充電站。
Additional charging help is also on the way.
額外的充電幫助也將到來。
This month, Worksport Ltd (NASDAQ:WKSP), a well-established innovator and manufacturer of "made-in-the-USA" pickup accessories and off-grid power solutions, initiated the Alpha launch of its clean power duo, the solar-powered tonneau cover SOLIS and COR mobile battery power generator. Also in September, Worksport announced it conducted successful lab test results of its COR portable energy system as a range extender for Tesla EVs, including the Model 3 and the Cybertruck.
本月，納斯達克上市公司Worksport Ltd (NASDAQ:WKSP)，作爲一家久經考驗的創新者和"美國製造"皮卡配件及離網電源解決方案製造商，推出了其清潔動力雙產品阿爾法版，即太陽能軟面頂蓋SOLIS和移動電池發電機COR。 同樣在九月，Worksport宣佈成功完成了其COR便攜能源系統作爲特斯拉電動汽車（包括Model 3和Cybertruck）續航產品的實驗室測試結果。
Moreover, Worksport also just revealed it is progressing towards gaining the ISO 9000 certification at its state-of-the-art West Seneca, NY factory anticipated by early-mid 2025.
此外，Worksport還透露其正在朝着在位於紐約州West Seneca的最先進工廠獲得ISO 9000認證邁進，預計將在2025年初至中期實現。
Worksport's ISO 9000 Certification Update
Worksport的ISO 9000認證更新
With the ISO 9000 certification, Worksport would pave the way for OEM relationships, which means the possibility of indirect and direct sales to global car makers that include EV pioneers like Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN), as well as traditional automakers like Ford, General Motors (NYSE:GM), Hyundai Motor Company (OTC:HYMTF), Honda Motor Company (NYSE:HMC), Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA), Nissan Motor Co Ltd (OTC:NSANY), and Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:TM). While there are no guarantees, the ISO 9000 certification is a prerequisite for becoming a vendor and supply partner of the industry's greatest names like Toyota, GM, Ford, Toyota and others. For Worksport, this would be a major strategic milestone in terms of both quality and operational excellence. Considering that only less than 7% of the tonneau cover industry holds this certification, it would position Worksport as a leading manufacturer, especially with its patented solar tonneau covers.
通過ISO 9000認證，Worksport將爲OEm關係鋪平道路，這意味着可能間接和直接銷售給特斯拉公司(NASDAQ:TSLA)、Rivian Automotive公司(NASDAQ:RIVN)等全球汽車製造商，以及福特、通用汽車（NYSE:GM）、現代汽車（OTC:HYMTF）、本田汽車（NYSE:HMC）、Stellantis N.V.（NYSE:STLA）、日產汽車公司(adr)（OTC:NSANY）和豐田汽車公司（NYSE:TM）等傳統汽車製造商。 雖然不能保證，但ISO 9000認證是成爲一家供應商和行業巨頭如豐田、通用汽車、福特等的供應合作伙伴的先決條件。 對Worksport來說，這將是一個質量和運營卓越方面的重要戰略里程碑。 考慮到不到7%的軟面頂蓋行業持有該認證，這將使Worksport成爲領先製造商，尤其是在其擁有專利的太陽能軟面頂蓋方面。
No matter what, the EV revolution is happening.
無論如何，電動汽車革命正在發生。
While these initiatives and novelties won't fix the EV slowdown nor Ford's $5 billion loss from its unprofitable EV unit that is expected this year, it does show that despite challenges, the EV evolution continues.
儘管這些創新舉措無法解決電動汽車市場增速放緩問題，也無法彌補福特由於其預計今年的虧損電動汽車部門造成的50億美元損失，但這表明儘管面臨挑戰，電動汽車仍在不斷演進。
