Don’t go writing the obituary for the U.S. electric vehicle just yet. After sales tanked following the cancellation of tax credits last year, they’ve been growing for the last three consecutive quarters, according to a new report from Cox Automotive.

别急着给美国电动汽车行业写讣告。根据考克斯汽车公司（Cox Automotive）的一份新报告，在去年税收抵免政策取消导致销量暴跌后，电动汽车销量已连续三个季度实现增长。

EVs captured 6.1% of the U.S. market, their best showing since the third quarter of 2025. The data shows that the EV market is “finding its footing again,” Stephanie Valdez Streaty, director of industry insights at Cox Automotive, said in an analysis that accompanied the new report. EV prices have become more competitive, and high gas prices have sparked renewed consumer interest, she added.

电动汽车占据了美国6.1%的市场份额，这是自2025年第三季度以来的最佳表现。考克斯汽车公司行业洞察总监斯蒂芬妮·瓦尔德斯·斯特雷蒂（Stephanie Valdez Streaty）在随报告发布的分析中表示，数据表明电动汽车市场正在“重新站稳脚跟”。她补充说，电动汽车价格变得更具竞争力，且高油价重新激发了消费者的兴趣。

Toyota, Rivian, and Subaru led the pack. Sales of the Toyota bZ and Lexus RZ about doubled following a refresh that hit dealerships late last year. The updated models adopted Tesla-style charging ports and received larger batteries, more powerful motors, and faster charging times. Meanwhile, Tesla’s sales dropped by 20% year-over-year. Tesla still retains the first-mover advantage, though, selling over half of all EVs during the third quarter.

丰田、Rivian和斯巴鲁处于领先地位。丰田bZ和雷克萨斯RZ在去年年底进行改款并进入经销商处后，销量翻了一番。更新后的车型采用了特斯拉风格的充电接口，并配备了更大的电池、更强劲的电机和更快的充电速度。与此同时，特斯拉的销量同比下降了20%。不过，特斯拉仍保持着先发优势，在第三季度售出了超过一半的电动汽车。

The recovery in the U.S. mimics what occurred in Germany after the government stopped incentives for EV purchases in November 2023, a year earlier than expected. The following month, sales fell by more than half. But after hitting that low, the market steadily recovered. German EV sales in August, the most recent month for which data is available, were the second highest on record.

美国的复苏情况与德国此前的情况如出一辙。2023年11月，德国政府比预期提前一年停止了电动汽车购买补贴，次月销量便减半。但在触底之后，市场稳步回升。德国8月份（有数据可查的最近月份）的电动汽车销量创下历史第二高水平。
