$24K Electric SUV Propels South Korean Auto Giant Past Ford, GM In US EV Sales
South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor's (OTCPK: HYMTF) North American unit reported a year-on-year jump in electric vehicle sales for the first quarter of 2024, overtaking legacy automakers Ford and General Motors in the process.
韩国汽车制造商现代汽车（OTCPK：HYMTF）的北美分公司报告称，2024年第一季度电动汽车销量同比增长，在此过程中超过了传统汽车制造商福特和通用汽车。
What Happened: Hyundai Motor America reported total sales of 184,804 vehicles for the first quarter, marking a jump of merely 0.2%. However, within the electrified segment, the company witnessed a 62% jump, thanks to the sales growth of its Ioniq and Kona models.
发生了什么：现代汽车美国公司报告称，第一季度汽车总销量为184,804辆，仅增长了0.2％。但是，在电气化领域，该公司增长了62％，这要归功于其Ioniq和Kona车型的销量增长。
Hyundai sells three all-electric vehicles in the U.S., namely the Ioniq 5 SUV, the Ioniq 6 sedan, and the Kona subcompact SUV.
现代汽车在美国销售三款全电动汽车，即爱奥尼克5 SUV、爱奥尼克6轿车和科纳超紧凑型SUV。
The company sold 6,822 of its Ioniq 5 SUV in the quarter, marking a year-on-year jump of 18%. The Ioniq 6 sedan witnessed a bump in sales of 1,542% to 3,646 units and the Kona subcompact SUV a 20% jump to 23,054 units.
该公司在本季度售出了6,822辆爱奥尼克5 SUV，同比增长了18％。爱奥尼克6轿车的销量增长了1,542％，达到3,646辆，科纳超紧凑型SUV的销量增长了20％，达到23,054辆。
Low-cost Spurs Sales: Hyundai's best-seller Kona starts at $24,250 and the Ioniq 5 at $41,800. This places both vehicles at a lower price point than Tesla's best-selling Model Y SUV which currently starts at $44,990. Ford's sole EV SUV Mustang Mach-E too has a starting price of about $40,000.
低成本马刺销售：现代最畅销的Kona起价为24,250美元，爱奥尼克5的起价为41,800美元。这使得两款车的价格都低于特斯拉最畅销的Model Y SUV，后者目前的起价为44,990美元。福特唯一的电动SUV Mustang Mach-E的起价也约为4万美元。
Ford sold a total of 20,223 pure electric vehicles in the first quarter, lagging severely behind Hyundai's all-electric sales of 33,522 units. General Motors, the country's best-selling automaker, sold only 16,425 EVs in the quarter.
福特在第一季度共售出了20,223辆纯电动汽车，严重落后于现代汽车的33,522辆全电动汽车销量。该国最畅销的汽车制造商通用汽车在本季度仅售出了16,425辆电动汽车。
Tesla, meanwhile, does not segment its reporting by geography or individual models. However, the company saw its cumulative Model Y and 3 sales drop 11.5% year-on-year across the globe in the first quarter.
同时，特斯拉没有按地理位置或个人模型对其报告进行细分。但是，该公司的Y型和3型车在第一季度在全球的累计销量同比下降了11.5％。
Following the gloomy delivery report, Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote on X that the quarter was "tough" for everyone, referring to Chinese EV giant BYD's 43% quarter-on-quarter drop in EV sales. However, the harsh conditions seem to have been successfully evaded by Asian players including Hyundai and Toyota.
在令人沮丧的交付报告之后，特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克在X上写道，这个季度对所有人来说都是 “艰难的”，他指的是中国电动汽车巨头比亚迪的电动汽车销量同比下降了43％。但是，包括现代和丰田在内的亚洲企业似乎成功地逃避了恶劣的条件。
Toyota sold 206,850 electrified vehicles (hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and battery-electric) in the U.S. during the quarter, thanks to its robust hybrid offerings.
丰田在本季度在美国售出了206,850辆电动汽车（混合动力车、插电式混合动力车和电池电动车），这要归功于其强大的混合动力汽车。
