Tesla Warns Mexico's EV Charging Rules Could Hurt Customer Experience
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) executive Rohan Patel confirmed on Wednesday that the EV giant reached out to the government in Mexico over the rules the country intends to introduce on the establishment of electric stations, in favor of a good EV customer experience.
特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）高管罗汉·帕特尔周三证实，这家电动汽车巨头就该国打算出台的关于建立电站的规定与墨西哥政府进行了接触，以提供良好的电动汽车客户体验。
What Happened: Patel said in a post on X that there are five different connector standards in Mexico, of which a charging station operator has to pick just two as per the rules proposed by Mexico's Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE).
发生了什么：帕特尔在X上的一篇文章中说，墨西哥有五种不同的连接器标准，根据墨西哥能源监管委员会（CRE）提出的规定，充电站运营商只能选择其中两个。
This, the executive, said, does not accelerate EV deployment or provide a good experience. Further, it would inhibit cross-border travel between the U.S. and Mexico, he said, while adding that Tesla has invested heavily in a cross-country charging network in Mexico.
这位高管说，这不会加速电动汽车的部署，也不会提供良好的体验。此外，他说，这将抑制美国和墨西哥之间的跨境旅行，同时补充说，特斯拉已在墨西哥对跨国充电网络进行了大量投资。
"We want to make sure Mexico has an accessible network that meets all vehicle needs," Patel, vice president of Public Policy and Business Development at Tesla, wrote.
特斯拉公共政策与业务发展副总裁帕特尔写道：“我们希望确保墨西哥拥有可满足所有车辆需求的无障碍网络。”
Needing a station to offer different types of chargers will increase the complexity and cost of stations, Tesla reportedly said in its letter to the government.
据报道，特斯拉在给政府的信中表示，需要一个充电站来提供不同类型的充电器将增加充电站的复杂性和成本。
"Having 5 different connector standards in Mexico where an operator just has to pick 2 of the 5 does not accelerate deployment and provide a good customer experience. Some of the connector types are being phased out (CCS1 and CHAdeMO) or would inhibit cross border travel with the US. We want to make sure Mexico has an accessible network that meets all vehicle needs," Patel said in his post.
“墨西哥有5种不同的连接器标准，而运营商只需要从5种标准中选择2种，这并不能加速部署，也不会提供良好的客户体验。一些连接器类型正在逐步淘汰（CCS1和CHADeMO），或者将抑制与美国的跨境旅行。我们希望确保墨西哥拥有可满足所有车辆需求的无障碍网络，” 帕特尔在他的帖子中说。
That article doesn't accurately convey the message we sent the Mexican government. @TeslaCharging has invested heavily in a cross country charging network in Mexico, enabling travel throughout the country and North America. @tesla_na's top priority in Mexico is the EV driver...

那篇文章没有准确地传达我们向墨西哥政府发出的信息。@TeslaCharging 已在墨西哥对越野充电网络进行了大量投资，使全国和北美的旅行成为可能。@tesla_na 在墨西哥的首要任务是电动汽车司机...

Why It Matters: In the U.S., there are currently two popular charging standards; Tesla's proprietary North American Charging Standard (NACS) and the Combined Charging System (CCS).
为何重要：在美国，目前有两种流行的充电标准：特斯拉专有的北美充电标准（NACS）和组合充电系统（CCS）。
Most automakers including General Motors have already signed up to incorporate Tesla's NACS standard into their vehicles starting 2025.
包括通用汽车在内的大多数汽车制造商已经签署协议，从2025年开始将特斯拉的NACS标准纳入其汽车中。
Ford and Rivian EV drivers have already started charging on Tesla's NACS-incorporated superchargers in North America with the help of adapters. The adapters will no longer be needed once EVs come with NACS charge ports built in.
福特和里维安电动汽车司机已经开始在适配器的帮助下在北美使用特斯拉NACS的增压器上充电。一旦电动汽车内置了NACS充电端口，就不再需要适配器了。
