為什麼中國幾乎所有的小型車輛都是電動的？_風聞

在中國，幾十年來，幾乎所有的小型車輛（踏板車、輕便摩托車、小型機動車）都在使用電池作為動力。為什麼西方世界沒有采用這種技術？

For the same reason people in the west stopped riding motorcycles for transport. Cars became cheap and easy and the society adapted around that. In many places where traffic is too heavy people have failed to adapt, still cling to the comfort blanket of their cars.

While the problem in the west is a failure to adapt China actually has a different problem. Cars are a status symbol there. Once they have a car they will not go back to using a scooter. I lived in China for a couple of years. I like motorcycles for transport when the weather is good so as soon as I could I purchased one. Later I saved up a bit of funds and brought a car. However I kept the motorcycle and continued to use to commute when the weather was good as it was faster and easier in the traffic. That confused the local staff, they could not understand why I would still use a motorcycle once I had a car.

出於同樣的原因，西方人也不再騎摩托車出行，在汽車變得便宜和容易獲得之後，社會也隨之適應了這一點。但在許多交通過於擁擠的地方，人們無法適應，他們仍然希望開車出行。

雖然西方存在的問題是有些人無法適應不依賴汽車，但中國實際上有一個不同的問題。在那裏，汽車是地位的象徵，一旦他們有了汽車，他們就不會再使用踏板車了。我在中國生活了兩年，我喜歡在天氣好的時候騎踏摩托車，所以我會盡快買一輛。後來我存了一點錢，買了一輛汽車。然而，我保留了摩托車，我會在天氣好的時候繼續使用它上下班，因為它在繁忙的交通中更快更容易。這讓當地的同事感到困惑，他們無法理解為什麼我有了汽車後還會用摩托車。

Because the western world excel in internal combustion engines. That is one thing China never really conquered. There are dozens of car manufacturers in China making more cars than any other countries, but they build on foreign technologies and foreign engines, and they still pay hefty loyalties to foreign auto companies, even today. The engines are mostly imported. The success seen is just a mirage.

Electric vehicles are completely different than internal combustion engines vehicles, in fact, all early vehicles were electric, but they were abandoned over the success of internal combustion engine vehicles.

因為西方世界擅長內燃機，這是一件中國從未真正征服過的東西。雖然中國有幾十家汽車製造商，它們生產的汽車比其他任何國家都多，但他們依靠的是外國的技術和外國的發動機，即使在今天，他們仍然對外國汽車公司忠心耿耿。由於中國汽車公司使用的發動機大多是進口的，所以我們所看到的中國汽車產業的成功只是海市蜃樓。

電動汽車與內燃機汽車完全不同，事實上，早期所有的汽車都是電動的，但它們被內燃機汽車的成功所拋棄。

Electric vehicles is the salvation for Chinese auto industry, this is one rare and only chance Chinese auto industry can leapfrog pass all western and Japanese auto makers in this once in the lifetime opportunity.

China has been quietly pouring all resources into electric vehicles for many years, now it leads in many subcategories in this field, most critically, the battery. China did that openly but nobody was watching, they are all busy bashing China.

The west and Japan are too successful in internal combustion engines to go into this new direction. All their revenue are from internal combustion engines.

電動汽車是中國汽車產業的救星，是中國汽車產業能夠在這千載難逢的機會中超越所有西方和日本汽車製造商的難得的也是唯一的機會。

多年來，中國一直在悄悄地將所有資源投入電動汽車產業，現在它在該領域的許多子類別中處於領先地位，最關鍵的是：電池。中國公開在做，但沒有人注意，他們都在忙着抨擊中國。

西方和日本在內燃機方面過於成功，以至於它們無法轉向這一新方向，因為他們所有的收入都來自內燃機汽車。

As of 2020 China had 17 million gasoline powered motorcycles but at least 300 million electric scooters. A big reason is likely cost, electric scooters are ten times cheaper than a gas powered car, and about half the price of a gasoline motorcycle, and cheaper to run than a gas powered motorcycle. Gas powered cycles are also banned in some Chinese cities due to air pollution. The 300 million owners don’t have the much larger incomes that westerners have, most Chinese earn 1/4 to 1/2 as much as their western counterparts. By western standards, these Chinese are poor. Very few westerners drive low cost electric scooters like are common in China. Why didn’t westerners buy cheap, small, slow electric scooters? Because they can afford gasoline powered cars.

截至2020年，中國有1700萬輛以汽油為動力的摩托車，但同時至少有3億輛電動踏板車。一個重要的原因可能是成本，電動踏板車的價格比以汽油為動力的汽車便宜十倍，大約是以汽油為動力的摩托車的一半。由於空氣污染，中國一些城市也禁止使用以燃氣為動力的摩托車。

3億踏板車主沒有西方人那麼高的收入，大多數中國人的收入是西方同行的1/4到1/2。按照西方的標準，這些中國人很窮。很少有西方人會像中國人一樣駕駛低成本的電動踏板車，為什麼西方人不買更便宜、更小、更慢的電動踏板車呢？那是因為他們買得起以汽油為動力的汽車。
