纯电动车创下行驶里程新纪录?
The Lucid Air Dream Edition was recently rated by the Environmental Protection Agency with an estimated driving range of 520 miles on a full charge.
最近,美国环境保护署对汽车路西德Air梦幻版进行了评级,估计其满负荷行驶里程为520英里。
That's the longest range of any purely battery-powered car yet rated by the EPA, including Tesla's Model S Long Range.
这是美国环保署评定的纯电池驱动汽车中行驶里程最长的一辆,包括特斯拉的s型远程车。
It's not just a little longer, either.
而且长的不止一点点。
The Air goes an estimated 115 miles farther on a charge than the Tesla.
这次的Air车单次充电后比特斯拉汽车多行驶了115英里。
It's even farther than most gasoline cars can travel on a full tank.
甚至比大部分汽油驱动车满缸油行驶的里程还要长。
But Lucid's chief executive Peter Rawlinson, who once worked at Tesla and helped engineer the original Model S, thinks that jaw-dropping number, 520 miles, isn't actually terribly important.
但路西德的首席执行官彼得·罗林森,曾经在特斯拉工作过也参与过特斯拉的S模型车的研发,他认为这次让人惊掉下巴的520英里这个数字并没有那么重要。
For one thing, that range doesn't come cheap.
一方面,要达到这个里程花费并不便宜。
Prices for the Lucid Air sedan start at $74,000, but prices for the Dream Edition are more than double that, starting at $169,000.
路西德Air轿车系列起价为74,000美元,而梦幻版的价格则翻了两番多,从169,000美元起跳。
Behind that figure, though, is another rarely discussed statistic that Rawlinson thinks will decide the winners and losers in the future world of electric cars: efficiency.
而在这个数字背后,还有一个鲜为人知的数据,罗林森认为其将决定未来电动汽车世界里的输和赢,就是效率。
With greater energy efficiency, which contributes to the Lucid Air's long range, electric cars will become accessible at all price ranges, he said.
能效大大提高后,就可以带来路西德Air系列的长里程,这样电动汽车就可以有各种价位了,他说。
In fact, one of Rawlinson's side projects is applying some of the efficiency tricks used at Lucid to something he calls the "T21," meaning "the Model T for the 21st century."
事实上,罗林森的一个副项目就是把路西德的一些能效方面的技巧运用到T21上,这个名字的意思是21世纪的T模型。
This would be a car with fairly long driving range that almost anyone can afford.
这种车会有较长的充电行驶里程数,同时价格也很亲民。
"The Model T Ford really mobilized mankind in the last century, the 20th century," Rawlinson said.
“模型T福特车曾经在上个世纪,也就是20世纪成为了人们的运输工具,”罗林森说道。
"Ultimately, it had a devastating impact upon the planet. We have got this generation of engineers and technologists and designers. It is within our grasp to try to redress the damage that mankind has caused."
“最终,给世界带来了极大的影响。我们也培养出了这一代的工程师,技术员和设计者。所以我们也能够利用这个机会改变人类对世界造成的影响。”
