Biden Admin Brushes Off Tesla's $100M Big-Rig Charging Funding Application, Says Report: Elon Musk Sighs

Biden administration reportedly brushed off Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:TSLA) application for about $100 million to fund a big-rig charging corridor, to the exasperation of the EV giant's CEO Elon Musk.

拜登政府據報道輕視了特斯拉公司的(納斯達克:TSLA)申請,申請約一億美元資金用於建設大型卡車充電走廊,這讓電動汽車巨頭的CEO埃隆·馬斯克感到惱火。

What Happened: TechCrunch reported on Monday that Tesla had applied for funding for a big-rig charging corridor project. The information was confirmed by its project partner California's South Coast Air Quality Management District.

發生了什麼:TechCrunch週一報道,特斯拉申請了一個大型卡車充電走廊項目的資金。該信息得到了其項目合作伙伴加州南海岸空氣質量管理區的確認。

However, Tesla was not named in the list of 49 applicants to whom the Department of Transportation (DOT) gave over $635 million in funding on Friday to build EV charging infrastructure.

然而,特斯拉並未出現在49名申請者的名單中,這些申請者在週五獲得了交通部(DOT)超過63500萬美元的資金,用於建設充電樁基礎設施。

Tesla first requested funding in 2023 from the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure program to build nine semi-truck charging stations between its former headquarters in California to the southern border of Texas, officially called Project TESSERACT. However, the department chose other applicants over Tesla even then.

特斯拉首次在2023年申請資金,來自充電和燃料基礎設施項目,以在其前總部加州和德克薩斯州南部邊界之間建設九個半掛車充電站,正式稱爲項目TESSERACt。然而,部門甚至在那時就選擇了其他申請者而不是特斯拉。

CEO Responds: Musk responded to the news on social media platform X with a brief, "Sigh."

首席執行官回應:馬斯克在社交媒體平台X上對這一消息作出了簡短的回應,"唉。"

Why It Matters: The status of the big rig charging corridor is unclear. Tesla did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.

爲什麼這很重要:大型卡車充電走廊的狀態尚不明確。特斯拉沒有立即回應Benzinga的評論請求。

Tesla has its own fast charging network. Earlier this month, the company said that it opened over 11,000 supercharger stalls in 2024, taking the total number of superchargers to over 65,000.

特斯拉擁有自己的快速充電網絡。這個月早些時候,該公司表示在2024年開放了超過11,000個充電樁,充電樁總數超過65,000個。

The growth of Tesla's supercharger network was in question after the company announced layoffs of at least 10% of its global workforce in April. The layoffs impacted 500 members of the supercharging team and Rebecca Tinucci, Tesla's then Senior Director of Charging Infrastructure, left the company.

在特斯拉宣佈在4月裁員至少10%全球員工後,特斯拉的超級充電網絡增長情況受到質疑。裁員影響了500名超級充電團隊成員,特斯拉時任充電基礎設施高級董事Rebecca Tinucci離開了公司。

During Tesla's annual shareholder meeting in June, Musk, however, slammed rumors of the death of the supercharger network as "greatly exaggerated."

在特斯拉的年度股東會議上,馬斯克對關於充電樁網絡死亡的傳聞進行了抨擊,稱其爲「嚴重誇大」。

"Our supercharger network is continuing to grow," Musk said while adding the company will invest $500 million into expanding the network in 2024.

馬斯克表示:「我們的充電樁網絡正在持續增長。」並補充說,公司將投資50000萬美元用於在2024年擴展網絡。
