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.
亿万富翁企业家埃隆·马斯克周四指出，他的电动汽车公司特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）在美国建造的电动汽车充电基础设施比在线零售商亚马逊公司（纳斯达克股票代码：AMZN）或联邦政府还要多。
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.
发生了什么：马斯克回应了电视节目主持人约翰·斯托塞尔，他对X表示私营部门在扩大电动汽车充电基础设施方面所做的比政府还多。
"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.
斯托塞尔在X（前身为Twitter）上写道：“市场比政府运作得更好。”他补充说，尽管进行了巨额投资，但拜登政府建造的电动汽车充电站少于安装了17,000个的电动汽车充电站。
"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？”马斯克对此做出了回应，斯托塞尔承认特斯拉确实安装了更多。

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.
为何重要：根据彭博社4月份的一份报告，亚马逊已在美国约120个仓库安装了超过17,000个充电器，为其电力车队供电。
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.
同时，特斯拉的充电站是为私家车车主准备的。截至第一季度末，该公司在全球拥有57,579个增压器连接器。根据美国能源部的数据，该公司目前在美国拥有2,200多个公共增压器地点和近26,000个充电端口。
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.
同时，联邦政府只有41个加油站和80个电动汽车充电端口。私人充电站占美国电动汽车充电基础设施的大部分，共有13,472个充电站和60,213个充电端口。
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."
尽管拜登政府对电动汽车充电进行了巨额投资，但情况仍然如此。2021 年 11 月，拜登签署了《两党基础设施法》。该法律包括75亿美元的电动汽车充电基础设施，其中50亿美元分配给各州。本月早些时候，马斯克抨击政府尽管进行了投资，但仍未取得成果，并表示：“我开始认为政府... 支出效率不高。”
