Hertz pauses plans to buy electric vehicles from Polestar this year
租车巨头赫兹叫停极星电动汽车购买计划
Decision by car rental group comes as resale value of EVs has collapsed
赫兹已暂停今年购买数万辆吉利控股的极星电动汽车的计划。电动汽车转售价值去年暴跌，促使这家租车巨头缩减转向电动汽车的雄心。
Hertz has paused plans to buy tens of thousands of battery-driven cars from Polestar this year, the head of the electric vehicle brand said, after a collapse in resale values last year caused the rental giant to taper its electric ambitions.
极星(Polestar)负责人表示，租车巨头赫兹(Hertz)已暂停今年向其购买数万辆电动汽车的计划。电动汽车的转售价值去年暴跌，促使赫兹缩减了转向电动汽车的雄心。
In 2022, Hertz agreed to buy 65,000 Polestar cars over five years in a deal likely worth $3bn as part of its ambition for EVs to make up a quarter of its rental fleet by the end of 2024. It also struck a deal to buy 100,000 Tesla cars.
2022年，赫兹同意在五年期间购买6.5万辆极星汽车（交易价值很可能高达30亿美元），作为其到2024年底让电动汽车占其租车车队四分之一的雄心壮志的一部分。该公司还签约购买10万辆特斯拉(Tesla)汽车。
But late last year, following a collapse in the resale value of EVs and citing higher repair costs than expected, Hertz said it would sell some of the Tesla cars it purchased and that it would not meet the 25 per cent EV target. It did not comment on the state of its relationship with Polestar at the time.
但在电动汽车转售价值暴跌后，赫兹在去年末以维修成本高于预期为由，表示将出售一部分已购买的特斯拉汽车，并且不会达到25%电动汽车的目标。当时它没有评论与极星之间的合作。
