have a frightening aftershock.\nWe’re already ","content":"2020 ushered in the start of the EV boom, but it could have a frightening aftershock.<blockquote>2020年迎来了电动汽车热潮的开始，但它可能会带来可怕的余震。</blockquote> We’re already seeing some of the incredible triple-digit gains in EV companies like Tesla and Workhorse.<blockquote>我们已经看到特斯拉和Workhorse等电动汽车公司取得了令人难以置信的三位数增长。</blockquote> And this EV wave is only expected to grow bigger in the days ahead under the Biden administration.<blockquote>在拜登政府的领导下，这股电动汽车浪潮预计只会在未来几天变得更大。</blockquote> Just a week after inauguration, President Biden reported he plans to replace the entire government fleet with electric vehicles.<blockquote>就职典礼后仅一周，拜登总统就报告说，他计划用电动汽车取代整个政府车队。</blockquote> That’s up to 643,000 vehicles turning electric on the government’s dime.<blockquote>这意味着多达643,000辆汽车由政府出资转向电动汽车。</blockquote> But Toyota’s president, Akio Toyoda, had an ominous prediction for what could lie ahead.<blockquote>但丰田总裁丰田章男对未来有一个不祥的预测。</blockquote> He stated that if EVs are adopted too quickly, we may not have the energy to support them at this point.<blockquote>他表示，如果电动汽车被采用得太快，我们目前可能没有精力支持它们。</blockquote> In fact, he predicted Japan would run out of electricity by summer if they banned all gas-powered vehicles now.<blockquote>事实上，他预测，如果日本现在禁止所有汽油动力汽车，到夏天就会耗尽电力。</blockquote> He even went as far as to say that if we rush the process of transitioning to EVs all at once, “the current business model of the auto industry is going to collapse.”<blockquote>他甚至表示，如果我们一下子加速向电动汽车的过渡，“汽车行业当前的商业模式将会崩溃”。</blockquote> While the buzz for electric vehicles has only grown over the last year, many often miss this key piece in making such a drastic shift in such a short period.<blockquote>虽然电动汽车的热潮在去年才有所增长，但许多人往往忽略了在如此短的时间内做出如此巨大转变的关键部分。</blockquote> And although it’s expected to create plenty of demand for solar, wind, nuclear, and geothermal energy sources…<blockquote>尽管预计将对太阳能、风能、核能和地热能产生大量需求……</blockquote> At this point in the game, they are still too expensive and lack the storage capacity we’d need for those to be the final solution.<blockquote>在游戏的这一点上，它们仍然太贵，并且缺乏我们作为最终解决方案所需的存储容量。</blockquote> That’s why companies bridging the gap to the EV world are thriving.<blockquote>这就是弥合与电动汽车世界差距的公司蓬勃发展的原因。</blockquote> Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF), a company known for its “people and planet first” approach, has seen incredible success over the last year, for example.<blockquote>例如，Facedrive（TSXV：FD，OTC：FDVRF）是一家以“人类和地球第一”方法而闻名的公司，在去年取得了令人难以置信的成功。</blockquote> They recently acquired EV subscription company, Steer, from the largest clean energy producer in the United States.<blockquote>他们最近从美国最大的清洁能源生产商手中收购了电动汽车订阅公司Steer。</blockquote> Steer’s subscription model for EV cars is putting a major twist on the traditional car ownership model.<blockquote>Steer的电动汽车订阅模式正在对传统的汽车拥有模式进行重大改变。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/126245cb01e2b0a711cee9e86041666b\" tg-width=\"450\" tg-height=\"176\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><blockquote></blockquote> So instead of everyone going out and buying their own EV, they can borrow <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> as-needed instead.<blockquote>因此，他们可以借钱，而不是每个人都出去购买自己的电动汽车<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">一</a>而是根据需要。</blockquote> With Facedrive’s acquisition of Steer, customers pay a simple monthly fee like with Netflix, and they get access to a fleet of EVs at their disposal.<blockquote>随着Facedrive收购Steer，客户只需像Netflix一样支付简单的月费，就可以使用自己支配的电动汽车车队。</blockquote> Over the last year, big moves like this have helped Facedrive sign a number of important partnerships and deals including government agencies, A-list celebrities, and major multinational corporations.<blockquote>在过去的一年里，像这样的重大举措帮助Facedrive签署了许多重要的合作伙伴关系和交易，包括政府机构、一线名人和大型跨国公司。</blockquote> And they’ve even managed to grow their business throughout the United States and Canada during a time when ridesharing as an industry suffered during global lockdowns.<blockquote>在拼车行业在全球封锁期间遭受损失的时候，他们甚至成功地在美国和加拿大发展了业务。</blockquote> When looking at the energy shortage that could lie ahead, it’s likely that creative solutions will be key in bridging the gap to the inevitable EV future.<blockquote>当考虑未来可能出现的能源短缺时，创造性的解决方案很可能是弥合不可避免的电动汽车未来差距的关键。</blockquote> Smartest in the World Making Bold Predictions<blockquote>世界上最聪明的人做出了大胆的预测</blockquote> While Toyota’s president made a dark prediction about where we could be headed, he’s not alone in being concerned.<blockquote>虽然丰田总裁对我们的发展方向做出了黑暗的预测，但他并不是唯一一个担心的人。</blockquote> Elon Musk expressed his own concerns about the issue recently as well.<blockquote>埃隆·马斯克最近也表达了自己对这个问题的担忧。</blockquote> In an interview in December, he said that the world’s electricity consumption would likely double once EVs become the norm.<blockquote>在12月的一次采访中，他表示，世界电力消费很可能会加倍一旦电动汽车成为常态。</blockquote> And that’s only accounting for this mass adoption in electric vehicles.<blockquote>这只是电动汽车大规模采用的原因。</blockquote> The situation could become even more pressing as the rest of our lives grow increasingly digital too, sucking up more electricity in the process.<blockquote>随着我们的生活变得越来越数字化，这种情况可能会变得更加紧迫，在这个过程中消耗更多的电力。</blockquote> With the “internet of things” creating smart cities and smart homes, the demand for electricity will only go up as everything from Peloton bikes to Nest thermostats are now connected by the internet.<blockquote>随着“物联网”创造智能城市和智能家居，对电力的需求只会上升，因为从Peloton自行车到Nest恒温器的一切现在都通过互联网连接。</blockquote> Plus, peak times could cause a real problem if we don’t come up with new energy solutions.<blockquote>此外，如果我们不想出新的能源解决方案，高峰时段可能会带来真正的问题。</blockquote> With thousands of cars on the roads during morning and evening commutes, it’s not hard to imagine times where we simply wouldn’t have enough power to charge all EVs that need it at once.<blockquote>在早晚通勤期间，道路上有数千辆汽车，不难想象我们根本没有足够的电力来同时为所有需要的电动汽车充电。</blockquote> Given the speed of innovation and the amount of resources going into renewable energy right now though, this is sure to be a short-term issue until the next great solution is discovered.<blockquote>然而，考虑到创新的速度和目前投入可再生能源的资源量，在找到下一个伟大的解决方案之前，这肯定是一个短期问题。</blockquote> But in the meantime, Facedrive’s moves are putting them squarely in position to smooth out the transition.<blockquote>但与此同时，Facedrive的举措使他们处于平稳过渡的位置。</blockquote> And in addition to the monthly membership model used with Steer, they’re helping keep the number of cars on the road down through their signature ridesharing service.<blockquote>除了Steer使用的月度会员模式外，他们还通过其标志性的拼车服务帮助减少道路上的汽车数量。</blockquote> Their model is simple.<blockquote>他们的模型很简单。</blockquote> When customers hail a ride, they have the choice to ride in an electric vehicle or a standard gas-powered car.<blockquote>当顾客叫车时，他们可以选择乘坐电动汽车或标准汽油动力汽车。</blockquote> After they get to their destination, the Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) algorithm sets aside a portion of the fare to plant trees, offsetting the carbon footprint from the ride.<blockquote>到达目的地后，Facedrive（TSXV：FD，OTC：FDVRF）算法会留出一部分车费用于植树，抵消乘车过程中的碳足迹。</blockquote> In other words, you ride, they plant a tree.<blockquote>换句话说，你骑，他们种一棵树。</blockquote> Through next-gen technology and partnerships, they’re giving their customers the option to make a more eco-friendly choice if they choose.<blockquote>通过下一代技术和合作伙伴关系，他们为客户提供了做出更环保选择的选择。</blockquote> Plus, Facedrive has added a booming food delivery service, which has expanded at a record pace while folks were stuck at home during global lockdowns.<blockquote>此外，Facedrive还增加了一项蓬勃发展的食品配送服务，该服务以创纪录的速度扩张，而人们在全球封锁期间被困在家里。</blockquote> They’re now delivering over 4,100 orders per day on average. And after growing to 19 major cities, they plan to expand to more cities throughout the U.S. and Canada soon.<blockquote>他们现在平均每天交付超过4100份订单。在发展到19个主要城市后，他们计划很快扩展到美国和加拿大的更多城市。</blockquote> It's this kind of innovative thinking that has many so optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead.<blockquote>正是这种创新思维让许多人对未来的机遇如此乐观。</blockquote> Who Will Win In The EV Boom?<blockquote>谁将在电动汽车热潮中获胜？</blockquote> Elon Musk warned that, like with the boom in smartphones, we’re not likely to see the EV revolution all happen at once. Because just like with smartphones, you can’t replace them all at once.<blockquote>埃隆·马斯克警告说，就像智能手机的繁荣一样，我们不太可能看到电动汽车革命同时发生。因为就像智能手机一样，你不可能一下子全部更换。</blockquote> But it’s undeniable that the movement is growing at a remarkable pace.<blockquote>但不可否认的是，这场运动正以惊人的速度发展。</blockquote> Even under an administration that was not supportive of climate change and green initiatives, the EV markets have soared throughout 2020.<blockquote>即使在不支持气候变化和绿色倡议的政府领导下，电动汽车市场在2020年仍在飙升。</blockquote> Tesla was <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the biggest market stories of the year, locking in over 700% gains on its way to becoming one of the largest companies on the S&amp;P 500.<blockquote>特斯拉是<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">一</a>今年最大的市场故事之一，锁定了超过700%的涨幅，成为标普500最大的公司之一。</blockquote> And experts are expecting to see massive spending on the infrastructure needed for EVs under the Biden administration too.<blockquote>专家预计，拜登政府也将在电动汽车所需的基础设施上投入大量资金。</blockquote> In addition to his vow to spend more on clean energy research, President Biden also reported plans to build out 550,000 EV charging stations across the country.<blockquote>除了誓言在清洁能源研究上投入更多资金外，拜登总统还报告了在全国建设55万个电动汽车充电站的计划。</blockquote> With the growth we’ve seen in this area already, it’s also caused shares for companies like Plug Power to soar over 1,000% in 2020.<blockquote>随着我们在这一领域已经看到的增长，这也导致普拉格能源等公司的股价在2020年飙升超过1,000%。</blockquote> And Facedrive has been sharing in this success too, with incredible gains of 834% over the last year.<blockquote>Facedrive也分享了这一成功，去年增长了834%，令人难以置信。</blockquote> But while they’re helping smooth out the transition to the EV future, they’ve also been busy helping to solve the problems of today.<blockquote>但在帮助顺利过渡到电动汽车未来的同时，他们也一直忙于帮助解决当今的问题。</blockquote> Last year, they created a wearable contact tracing technology called TraceSCAN.<blockquote>去年，他们创造了一种名为TraceSCAN的可穿戴接触追踪技术。</blockquote> It’s designed to help alert those without cell phones when they’ve been in contact with someone who’s tested positive for COVID-19.<blockquote>它旨在帮助那些没有手机的人在与新冠肺炎病毒检测呈阳性的人接触时发出警报。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eccc1881977dca15dfa8dcfd6b9d3702\" tg-width=\"234\" tg-height=\"290\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4a968fd9b9813944bb52def761df3f0\" tg-width=\"180\" tg-height=\"275\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><blockquote></blockquote> With wearables gaining widespread adoption since the release of devices like the Fitbit or Apple Watch, the demand for TraceSCAN has erupted in recent months.<blockquote>自Fitbit或苹果手表等设备发布以来，可穿戴设备得到了广泛采用，近几个月来，对TraceSCAN的需求激增。</blockquote> And in the coming weeks, Facedrive plans to release an updated version with key health and safety benefits like temperature checking and vital sign monitoring.<blockquote>在未来几周内，Facedrive计划发布一个更新版本，具有关键的健康和安全优势，如体温检查和生命体征监测。</blockquote> Facedrive has now signed agreements with government agencies and major airlines to use this technology.<blockquote>Facedrive现已与政府机构和主要航空公司签署了使用该技术的协议。</blockquote> Plus, they are currently in discussions to continue TraceSCAN’s growth with major multinational corporations.<blockquote>此外，他们目前正在与大型跨国公司讨论继续TraceSCAN的发展。</blockquote> After the surge in electric vehicle tech we saw last year, now is the time to plan for the domino effect we could see play out in the days ahead.<blockquote>在去年电动汽车技术激增之后，现在是时候为我们可能在未来几天看到的多米诺骨牌效应做好计划了。</blockquote> And in the end, it could be the ones helping in the transition that become the biggest winners of the EV boom.<blockquote>最终，那些帮助转型的人可能会成为电动汽车热潮的最大赢家。</blockquote> Here are a few other companies to watch in the EV and EV related space:<blockquote>以下是电动汽车和电动汽车相关领域其他一些值得关注的公司：</blockquote> Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) was among the biggest market stories of 2020 with incredible gains of over 700%. This helped them become one of the highest-valued stocks in the United States with other Big Tech giants. It is now the most valuable car maker “of all time”. It is now worth almost $800 billion.<blockquote>特斯拉（纳斯达克：TSLA）是2020年最大的市场故事之一，涨幅超过700%。这帮助他们与其他大型科技巨头一起成为美国估值最高的股票之一。它现在是“有史以来”最有价值的汽车制造商。它现在价值近8000亿美元。</blockquote> After a much-touted Battery Day event and expectations of Musk developing a “Million Mile Battery” in the near future, Tesla recently joined the S&amp;P 500.<blockquote>在备受吹捧的电池日活动以及马斯克在不久的将来开发出“百万英里电池”的期望之后，特斯拉最近加入了标普500。</blockquote> Tesla is the de-facto king of the electric vehicle market. And it’s easy to see why. Armed with slick cars, game-changing technology and an out of this world CEO, Tesla has a lot going for it.<blockquote>特斯拉是电动汽车市场事实上的王者。原因显而易见。拥有精美的汽车、改变游戏规则的技术和出色的首席执行官，特斯拉有很多优势。</blockquote> Billionaire Elon Musk had his eye on this trend far before the hype started building. He released the first Tesla Roadster back in 2008, making electric vehicles cool when people were still snubbing their noses at the first-generation EVs. Since then, Tesla’s stock has skyrocketed by over 14,000%. But while Tesla’s EV threat to the industry is clear, the competition is heating up in China.<blockquote>亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克早在炒作开始之前就注意到了这一趋势。早在2008年，他就发布了第一款特斯拉Roadster，当人们还在对第一代电动汽车嗤之以鼻时，他就让电动汽车变得很酷。此后，特斯拉股价暴涨超14,000%。不过，尽管特斯拉电动汽车对该行业的威胁显而易见，但中国的竞争正在加剧。</blockquote> Nio (NYSE:NIO) is Tesla’s biggest competitor, dominating the Chinese EV markets. After going public in 2018, it’s been on a tear, producing vehicles with record-breaking range. They recently unveiled their first electric sedan with a longer range battery, which sent shares surging in early January.<blockquote>蔚来（纽约证券交易所代码：蔚来）是特斯拉最大的竞争对手，主导着中国电动汽车市场。2018年上市后，该公司一直在飞速发展，生产续航里程破纪录的车辆。他们最近推出了首款配备续航里程更长电池的电动轿车，导致一月初股价飙升。</blockquote> Nio’s current performance is a far cry from just one year ago In fact, many shareholders were ready to write off their losses and give up on the company. But China’s answer to Tesla’s dominance powered on, eclipsed estimates, and most importantly, kept its balance sheet in line. And it’s paid off. In a big way. The company has seen its share price soar from $3.24 at the start of 2020 to a high of $61 this month, representing a massive 1600% return for investors who held strong.<blockquote>蔚来目前的业绩与一年前相去甚远，事实上，许多股东已经准备注销亏损并放弃该公司。但中国对特斯拉主导地位的反应强劲，超出了预期，最重要的是，中国的资产负债表保持了一致。而且得到了回报。在很大程度上。该公司的股价从2020年初的3.24美元飙升至本月的61美元高点，对于持有强势的投资者来说，这意味着1600%的巨额回报。</blockquote> By NIO’s fourth quarter report in October, the company announced that its sales had more than doubled, projecting even greater sales in 2021. The EV up-and-comer has shocked investors and pulled itself back after its rumored potential bankruptcy in 2019, and if this year shows investors anything, it’s that its CEO William Li is as skilled and ambitious as anyone in the business.<blockquote>到蔚来10月份发布第四季度报告时，该公司宣布其销售额增长了一倍多，预计2021年的销售额会更大。这家电动汽车后起之秀震惊了投资者，并在2019年传闻可能破产后退出，如果说今年向投资者展示了什么的话，那就是其首席执行官李威廉与业内任何人一样熟练和雄心勃勃。</blockquote> Toyota Motors (NYSE:TM) is a massive international car producer that hasn’t ignored the transition to greener transportation. In fact, the Toyota Prius was one of the first hybrids to hit the road in a big way. While the legacy hybrid vehicle has been the butt of many jokes throughout the years, the car has been a major success, and more importantly, it helped spur the adoption of greener vehicles for years to come.<blockquote>丰田汽车（纽约证券交易所代码：TM）是一家大型国际汽车生产商，并没有忽视向绿色交通的过渡。事实上，丰田普锐斯是最早大规模上路的混合动力车之一。虽然传统混合动力汽车多年来一直是许多笑话的笑柄，但该车取得了巨大成功，更重要的是，它有助于刺激未来几年绿色汽车的采用。</blockquote> And just because its Prius hasn’t exactly aged as well as some green competitors, Toyota hasn’t left the green power race yet. Just a few days ago, actually, the giant automaker announced that three new electric vehicles will be coming to United States markets soon.<blockquote>仅仅因为它的普锐斯还没有像一些绿色竞争对手那样老化，丰田还没有退出绿色动力竞赛。事实上，就在几天前，这家大型汽车制造商宣布三款新电动汽车将很快登陆美国市场。</blockquote> “We continue to be leaders in electrification that began with our pioneering introduction of the Prius nearly 25 years ago,” said Bob Carter, TMNA executive vice president of sales. “Toyota’s new electrified product offerings will give customers multiple choices of powertrain that best suits their needs.”<blockquote>TMNA销售执行副总裁Bob Carter表示：“自近25年前开创性地推出普锐斯以来，我们一直是电气化领域的领导者。”“丰田新的电气化产品将为客户提供最适合其需求的多种动力总成选择。”</blockquote> Toyota has a major hold over U.S. markets at the moment. In fact, it maintains a 75% share of total fuel cell vehicles and a 64% share in hybrid and plug-in vehicles. And now it’s looking to capture a greater share of electric vehicles, as well.<blockquote>丰田目前在美国市场占据主要地位。事实上，它在燃料电池汽车总量中保持着75%的份额，在混合动力和插电式汽车中保持着64%的份额。现在，它也希望在电动汽车中占据更大的份额。</blockquote> General Motors (NYSE:GM) is one of the legacy automakers benefiting from a shift from gas-powered to EV technology. Even with the downfall of Detroit, GM has persisted, and that’s due in large part to its ability to adapt. In fact, GM’s dive into alternative fuels began way back in 1966 when it produced the world’s first-ever hydrogen-powered van. And it has not stopped innovating, either.<blockquote>通用汽车（纽约证券交易所代码：GM）是受益于从汽油动力技术向电动汽车技术转变的传统汽车制造商之一。即使底特律垮台，通用汽车仍坚持不懈，这在很大程度上归功于其适应能力。事实上，通用汽车早在1966年就开始涉足替代燃料，当时它生产了世界上第一辆氢动力货车。它也没有停止创新。</blockquote> With the news of GM’s new business unit, BrightDrop, they plan to sell electric vans and services to commercial delivery companies, disrupting the market for delivery logistics. This is a huge move as delivery sales have absolutely exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic, and are projected to grow even further over the coming years.<blockquote>随着通用汽车新业务部门BrightDrop的消息传出，他们计划向商业送货公司出售电动货车和服务，从而扰乱送货物流市场。这是一个巨大的举措，因为送货销售在COVID-19大流行期间绝对呈爆炸式增长，并且预计在未来几年将进一步增长。</blockquote> And in January 2021, the giant automaker announced that it will discontinue production of all gas-powered vehicles, including hybrids, by 2035. This is a key factor in its commitment to become carbon-net zero by 2040.&nbsp; The move will likely sit well with shareholders which are increasingly pushing for companies to clean up their act.<blockquote>2021年1月，这家汽车巨头宣布将在2035年之前停止生产所有汽油动力汽车，包括混合动力汽车。这是其承诺到2040年实现净零碳排放的关键因素。此举可能会受到股东的欢迎，他们越来越多地敦促公司清理其行为。</blockquote> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLNK\">Blink Charging</a> (NASDAQ:BLNK) is building an EV charging network that may be small right now, but it’s got explosive growth potential that is as big as the EV market itself.&nbsp;&nbsp;This stock is on a major tear and all that cash flowing into it right now gives Blink the superpower to acquire and expand.<blockquote><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLNK\">闪烁充电</a>（纳斯达克：BLNK）正在建设一个电动汽车充电网络，目前可能规模很小，但它具有与电动汽车市场本身一样大的爆炸性增长潜力。这只股票正在大幅上涨，目前流入它的所有现金都给了眨眼收购和扩张的超级大国。</blockquote> A wave of new deals, including a collaboration with EnerSys and another with Envoy Technologies to deploy electric vehicles and charging stations adds further support to the bullish case for Blink.<blockquote>一波新交易，包括与EnerSys的合作以及与Envoy Technologies的合作部署电动汽车和充电站，进一步支持了眨眼.</blockquote> Michael D. Farkas, Founder, CEO and Executive Chairman of Blink noted, “This is an exciting collaboration with EnerSys because it combines the industry-leading technologies of our two companies to provide user-friendly, high powered, next-generation charging alternatives. We are continuously innovating our product offerings to provide more efficient and convenient charging options to the growing community of EV drivers.”<blockquote>Michael D.Farkas，创始人、首席执行官兼执行主席眨眼指出：“这是与EnerSys的一次令人兴奋的合作，因为它结合了我们两家公司的行业领先技术，提供用户友好、大功率的下一代充电替代方案。我们不断创新我们的产品，以提供更高效、更方便的充电选择为不断增长的电动汽车驾驶员社区提供。”</blockquote> Blink Charging was one of the darlings of the EV boom throughout 2020 because of its expansion in EV charging technology. With their chargers deployed at airports, car dealers, hospitals, restaurants, retailers, and schools across the nation, Blink recently saw shares jump 76% in just one month.<blockquote>由于其在电动汽车充电技术方面的扩张，Blink Charging成为2020年电动汽车热潮的宠儿之一。Blink的充电器部署在全国各地的机场、汽车经销商、医院、餐馆、零售商和学校，其股价最近在短短一个月内上涨了76%。</blockquote> NFI Group (TSX:NFI) is one of Canada’s leaders in the electric vehicle space. It produces transit busses and motorcycles. NFI had a difficult start to the year, but it since cut its debt and begun to address its cash flow struggles in a meaningful way. Though it remains down from January highs, NFI still offers investors a promising opportunity to capitalize on the electric vehicle boom.<blockquote>NFI集团（多伦多证券交易所代码：NFI）是加拿大电动汽车领域的领导者之一。它生产公共汽车和摩托车。NFI今年开局艰难，但此后该公司削减了债务，并开始以有意义的方式解决现金流问题。尽管仍低于1月份的高点，NFI仍然为投资者提供了利用电动汽车繁荣的大好机会。</blockquote> Recently, NFI has seen an uptick in insider stock purchases which is often a sign that the board and management strongly believe in the future of the company. In addition to its increasingly positive financial reports, it is also one of the few in the business that actually pay dividends out to its investors.<blockquote>近日，NFI内部股票购买量有所增加，这通常表明董事会和管理层对公司的未来充满信心。除了日益积极的财务报告外，它也是业内少数几家真正向投资者支付股息的公司之一。</blockquote> Not to be outdone, GreenPower Motor (TSX.V:GPV) a thriving electric bus manufacturer based out of Vancouver, is making moves on the market, as well. Although for the moment, its focus is primarily on the North American market, but its ambitions are much larger. Founded over a decade ago, GreenPower has been on the frontlines of the electric transportation movement, with a focus on building affordable battery-electric busses and trucks.<blockquote>不甘示弱，GreenPower Motor(TSX.V：GPV)一家总部位于温哥华的蓬勃发展的电动巴士制造商也在市场上采取行动。虽然目前它的重点主要是北美市场，但它的野心要大得多。成立于十多年前，绿色能源一直站在电动交通运动的前线，专注于制造价格实惠的电池电动公交车和卡车。</blockquote> Year-to-date, GreenPower has seen its share price soar from $2.03 to $36.88. That means investors have seen 1700% gains this year alone. And with this red-hot sector only going up, GreenPower will likely continue to impress.<blockquote>年初至今，绿色能源其股价从2.03美元飙升至36.88美元。这意味着投资者仅今年一年就获得了1700%的收益。随着这个炙手可热的板块只会上涨，绿色能源可能会继续给人留下深刻印象。</blockquote> Boralex Inc. (TSX:BLX) is an upcoming renewable firm based in Kingsey Falls, Canada. The company’s primary energies are produced through wind, hydroelectric, thermal, and solar sources and help power the homes of many people globally. Not only has it has had a great influence in the adoption of renewable electricity domestically, it’s even branching out into the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. In fact, just recently, Boralex took control of a massive 209MW solar farm in California.<blockquote>Boralex Inc.（多伦多证券交易所代码：BLX）是一家即将成立的可再生能源公司，总部位于加拿大金西福尔斯。该公司的一次能源通过风能、水力发电、热能和太阳能生产，帮助全球许多人的家庭供电。它不仅对国内可再生电力的采用产生了巨大影响，甚至还扩展到了美国、法国和英国。事实上，就在最近，波拉莱克斯控制了加利福尼亚州一个209MW的大型太阳能发电厂。</blockquote> Westport Fuel Systems (TSX:WPRT) is a unique way to get in on the green boom in the auto industry.. It helps build the tools needed for carmakers to incorporate less damaging fuels like natural gas. Though natural gas doesn’t get quite the attention as electric vehicles do, there are over 22.5&nbsp; million natural gas vehicles on the road across the globe. And that market is expected to grow as the energy transition really takes off.<blockquote>西港燃料系统公司（多伦多证券交易所代码：WPRT）是参与汽车行业绿色繁荣的独特方式..它有助于建立汽车制造商所需的工具，以纳入天然气等破坏性较小的燃料。尽管天然气没有像电动汽车那样受到关注，但全球道路上有超过2250万辆天然气汽车。随着能源转型的真正起飞，该市场预计将会增长。</blockquote> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DSGX\">The Descartes Systems Group Inc</a>. (TSX:DSG) is a Canadian multinational technology company specializing in logistics software, supply chain management software, and cloud-based services for logistics businesses. Recently, Descartes announced that it has successfully deployed its advanced capacity matching solution, Descartes MacroPoint Capacity Matching. The solution provides greater visibility and transparency within their network of carriers and brokers.

could have a frightening aftershock.<blockquote>2020年迎来了电动汽车热潮的开始，但它可能会带来可怕的余震。</blockquote> We’re already seeing some of the incredible triple-digit gains in EV companies like Tesla and Workhorse.<blockquote>我们已经看到特斯拉和Workhorse等电动汽车公司取得了令人难以置信的三位数增长。</blockquote> And this EV wave is only expected to grow bigger in the days ahead under the Biden administration.<blockquote>在拜登政府的领导下，这股电动汽车浪潮预计只会在未来几天变得更大。</blockquote> Just a week after inauguration, President Biden reported he plans to replace the entire government fleet with electric vehicles.<blockquote>就职典礼后仅一周，拜登总统就报告说，他计划用电动汽车取代整个政府车队。</blockquote> That’s up to 643,000 vehicles turning electric on the government’s dime.<blockquote>这意味着多达643,000辆汽车由政府出资转向电动汽车。</blockquote> But Toyota’s president, Akio Toyoda, had an ominous prediction for what could lie ahead.<blockquote>但丰田总裁丰田章男对未来有一个不祥的预测。</blockquote> He stated that if EVs are adopted too quickly, we may not have the energy to support them at this point.<blockquote>他表示，如果电动汽车被采用得太快，我们目前可能没有精力支持它们。</blockquote> In fact, he predicted Japan would run out of electricity by summer if they banned all gas-powered vehicles now.<blockquote>事实上，他预测，如果日本现在禁止所有汽油动力汽车，到夏天就会耗尽电力。</blockquote> He even went as far as to say that if we rush the process of transitioning to EVs all at once, “the current business model of the auto industry is going to collapse.”<blockquote>他甚至表示，如果我们一下子加速向电动汽车的过渡，“汽车行业当前的商业模式将会崩溃”。</blockquote> While the buzz for electric vehicles has only grown over the last year, many often miss this key piece in making such a drastic shift in such a short period.<blockquote>虽然电动汽车的热潮在去年才有所增长，但许多人往往忽略了在如此短的时间内做出如此巨大转变的关键部分。</blockquote> And although it’s expected to create plenty of demand for solar, wind, nuclear, and geothermal energy sources…<blockquote>尽管预计将对太阳能、风能、核能和地热能产生大量需求……</blockquote> At this point in the game, they are still too expensive and lack the storage capacity we’d need for those to be the final solution.<blockquote>在游戏的这一点上，它们仍然太贵，并且缺乏我们作为最终解决方案所需的存储容量。</blockquote> That’s why companies bridging the gap to the EV world are thriving.<blockquote>这就是弥合与电动汽车世界差距的公司蓬勃发展的原因。</blockquote> Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF), a company known for its “people and planet first” approach, has seen incredible success over the last year, for example.<blockquote>例如，Facedrive（TSXV：FD，OTC：FDVRF）是一家以“人类和地球第一”方法而闻名的公司，在去年取得了令人难以置信的成功。</blockquote> They recently acquired EV subscription company, Steer, from the largest clean energy producer in the United States.<blockquote>他们最近从美国最大的清洁能源生产商手中收购了电动汽车订阅公司Steer。</blockquote> Steer’s subscription model for EV cars is putting a major twist on the traditional car ownership model.<blockquote>Steer的电动汽车订阅模式正在对传统的汽车拥有模式进行重大改变。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/126245cb01e2b0a711cee9e86041666b\" tg-width=\"450\" tg-height=\"176\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><blockquote></blockquote> So instead of everyone going out and buying their own EV, they can borrow <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> as-needed instead.<blockquote>因此，他们可以借钱，而不是每个人都出去购买自己的电动汽车<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">一</a>而是根据需要。</blockquote> With Facedrive’s acquisition of Steer, customers pay a simple monthly fee like with Netflix, and they get access to a fleet of EVs at their disposal.<blockquote>随着Facedrive收购Steer，客户只需像Netflix一样支付简单的月费，就可以使用自己支配的电动汽车车队。</blockquote> Over the last year, big moves like this have helped Facedrive sign a number of important partnerships and deals including government agencies, A-list celebrities, and major multinational corporations.<blockquote>在过去的一年里，像这样的重大举措帮助Facedrive签署了许多重要的合作伙伴关系和交易，包括政府机构、一线名人和大型跨国公司。</blockquote> And they’ve even managed to grow their business throughout the United States and Canada during a time when ridesharing as an industry suffered during global lockdowns.<blockquote>在拼车行业在全球封锁期间遭受损失的时候，他们甚至成功地在美国和加拿大发展了业务。</blockquote> When looking at the energy shortage that could lie ahead, it’s likely that creative solutions will be key in bridging the gap to the inevitable EV future.<blockquote>当考虑未来可能出现的能源短缺时，创造性的解决方案很可能是弥合不可避免的电动汽车未来差距的关键。</blockquote> Smartest in the World Making Bold Predictions<blockquote>世界上最聪明的人做出了大胆的预测</blockquote> While Toyota’s president made a dark prediction about where we could be headed, he’s not alone in being concerned.<blockquote>虽然丰田总裁对我们的发展方向做出了黑暗的预测，但他并不是唯一一个担心的人。</blockquote> Elon Musk expressed his own concerns about the issue recently as well.<blockquote>埃隆·马斯克最近也表达了自己对这个问题的担忧。</blockquote> In an interview in December, he said that the world’s electricity consumption would likely double once EVs become the norm.<blockquote>在12月的一次采访中，他表示，世界电力消费很可能会加倍一旦电动汽车成为常态。</blockquote> And that’s only accounting for this mass adoption in electric vehicles.<blockquote>这只是电动汽车大规模采用的原因。</blockquote> The situation could become even more pressing as the rest of our lives grow increasingly digital too, sucking up more electricity in the process.<blockquote>随着我们的生活变得越来越数字化，这种情况可能会变得更加紧迫，在这个过程中消耗更多的电力。</blockquote> With the “internet of things” creating smart cities and smart homes, the demand for electricity will only go up as everything from Peloton bikes to Nest thermostats are now connected by the internet.<blockquote>随着“物联网”创造智能城市和智能家居，对电力的需求只会上升，因为从Peloton自行车到Nest恒温器的一切现在都通过互联网连接。</blockquote> Plus, peak times could cause a real problem if we don’t come up with new energy solutions.<blockquote>此外，如果我们不想出新的能源解决方案，高峰时段可能会带来真正的问题。</blockquote> With thousands of cars on the roads during morning and evening commutes, it’s not hard to imagine times where we simply wouldn’t have enough power to charge all EVs that need it at once.<blockquote>在早晚通勤期间，道路上有数千辆汽车，不难想象我们根本没有足够的电力来同时为所有需要的电动汽车充电。</blockquote> Given the speed of innovation and the amount of resources going into renewable energy right now though, this is sure to be a short-term issue until the next great solution is discovered.<blockquote>然而，考虑到创新的速度和目前投入可再生能源的资源量，在找到下一个伟大的解决方案之前，这肯定是一个短期问题。</blockquote> But in the meantime, Facedrive’s moves are putting them squarely in position to smooth out the transition.<blockquote>但与此同时，Facedrive的举措使他们处于平稳过渡的位置。</blockquote> And in addition to the monthly membership model used with Steer, they’re helping keep the number of cars on the road down through their signature ridesharing service.<blockquote>除了Steer使用的月度会员模式外，他们还通过其标志性的拼车服务帮助减少道路上的汽车数量。</blockquote> Their model is simple.<blockquote>他们的模型很简单。</blockquote> When customers hail a ride, they have the choice to ride in an electric vehicle or a standard gas-powered car.<blockquote>当顾客叫车时，他们可以选择乘坐电动汽车或标准汽油动力汽车。</blockquote> After they get to their destination, the Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) algorithm sets aside a portion of the fare to plant trees, offsetting the carbon footprint from the ride.<blockquote>到达目的地后，Facedrive（TSXV：FD，OTC：FDVRF）算法会留出一部分车费用于植树，抵消乘车过程中的碳足迹。</blockquote> In other words, you ride, they plant a tree.<blockquote>换句话说，你骑，他们种一棵树。</blockquote> Through next-gen technology and partnerships, they’re giving their customers the option to make a more eco-friendly choice if they choose.<blockquote>通过下一代技术和合作伙伴关系，他们为客户提供了做出更环保选择的选择。</blockquote> Plus, Facedrive has added a booming food delivery service, which has expanded at a record pace while folks were stuck at home during global lockdowns.<blockquote>此外，Facedrive还增加了一项蓬勃发展的食品配送服务，该服务以创纪录的速度扩张，而人们在全球封锁期间被困在家里。</blockquote> They’re now delivering over 4,100 orders per day on average. And after growing to 19 major cities, they plan to expand to more cities throughout the U.S. and Canada soon.<blockquote>他们现在平均每天交付超过4100份订单。在发展到19个主要城市后，他们计划很快扩展到美国和加拿大的更多城市。</blockquote> It's this kind of innovative thinking that has many so optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead.<blockquote>正是这种创新思维让许多人对未来的机遇如此乐观。</blockquote> Who Will Win In The EV Boom?<blockquote>谁将在电动汽车热潮中获胜？</blockquote> Elon Musk warned that, like with the boom in smartphones, we’re not likely to see the EV revolution all happen at once. Because just like with smartphones, you can’t replace them all at once.<blockquote>埃隆·马斯克警告说，就像智能手机的繁荣一样，我们不太可能看到电动汽车革命同时发生。因为就像智能手机一样，你不可能一下子全部更换。</blockquote> But it’s undeniable that the movement is growing at a remarkable pace.<blockquote>但不可否认的是，这场运动正以惊人的速度发展。</blockquote> Even under an administration that was not supportive of climate change and green initiatives, the EV markets have soared throughout 2020.<blockquote>即使在不支持气候变化和绿色倡议的政府领导下，电动汽车市场在2020年仍在飙升。</blockquote> Tesla was <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the biggest market stories of the year, locking in over 700% gains on its way to becoming one of the largest companies on the S&amp;P 500.<blockquote>特斯拉是<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">一</a>今年最大的市场故事之一，锁定了超过700%的涨幅，成为标普500最大的公司之一。</blockquote> And experts are expecting to see massive spending on the infrastructure needed for EVs under the Biden administration too.<blockquote>专家预计，拜登政府也将在电动汽车所需的基础设施上投入大量资金。</blockquote> In addition to his vow to spend more on clean energy research, President Biden also reported plans to build out 550,000 EV charging stations across the country.<blockquote>除了誓言在清洁能源研究上投入更多资金外，拜登总统还报告了在全国建设55万个电动汽车充电站的计划。</blockquote> With the growth we’ve seen in this area already, it’s also caused shares for companies like Plug Power to soar over 1,000% in 2020.<blockquote>随着我们在这一领域已经看到的增长，这也导致普拉格能源等公司的股价在2020年飙升超过1,000%。</blockquote> And Facedrive has been sharing in this success too, with incredible gains of 834% over the last year.<blockquote>Facedrive也分享了这一成功，去年增长了834%，令人难以置信。</blockquote> But while they’re helping smooth out the transition to the EV future, they’ve also been busy helping to solve the problems of today.<blockquote>但在帮助顺利过渡到电动汽车未来的同时，他们也一直忙于帮助解决当今的问题。</blockquote> Last year, they created a wearable contact tracing technology called TraceSCAN.<blockquote>去年，他们创造了一种名为TraceSCAN的可穿戴接触追踪技术。</blockquote> It’s designed to help alert those without cell phones when they’ve been in contact with someone who’s tested positive for COVID-19.<blockquote>它旨在帮助那些没有手机的人在与新冠肺炎病毒检测呈阳性的人接触时发出警报。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eccc1881977dca15dfa8dcfd6b9d3702\" tg-width=\"234\" tg-height=\"290\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4a968fd9b9813944bb52def761df3f0\" tg-width=\"180\" tg-height=\"275\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><blockquote></blockquote> With wearables gaining widespread adoption since the release of devices like the Fitbit or Apple Watch, the demand for TraceSCAN has erupted in recent months.<blockquote>自Fitbit或苹果手表等设备发布以来，可穿戴设备得到了广泛采用，近几个月来，对TraceSCAN的需求激增。</blockquote> And in the coming weeks, Facedrive plans to release an updated version with key health and safety benefits like temperature checking and vital sign monitoring.<blockquote>在未来几周内，Facedrive计划发布一个更新版本，具有关键的健康和安全优势，如体温检查和生命体征监测。</blockquote> Facedrive has now signed agreements with government agencies and major airlines to use this technology.<blockquote>Facedrive现已与政府机构和主要航空公司签署了使用该技术的协议。</blockquote> Plus, they are currently in discussions to continue TraceSCAN’s growth with major multinational corporations.<blockquote>此外，他们目前正在与大型跨国公司讨论继续TraceSCAN的发展。</blockquote> After the surge in electric vehicle tech we saw last year, now is the time to plan for the domino effect we could see play out in the days ahead.<blockquote>在去年电动汽车技术激增之后，现在是时候为我们可能在未来几天看到的多米诺骨牌效应做好计划了。</blockquote> And in the end, it could be the ones helping in the transition that become the biggest winners of the EV boom.<blockquote>最终，那些帮助转型的人可能会成为电动汽车热潮的最大赢家。</blockquote> Here are a few other companies to watch in the EV and EV related space:<blockquote>以下是电动汽车和电动汽车相关领域其他一些值得关注的公司：</blockquote> Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) was among the biggest market stories of 2020 with incredible gains of over 700%. This helped them become one of the highest-valued stocks in the United States with other Big Tech giants. It is now the most valuable car maker “of all time”. It is now worth almost $800 billion.<blockquote>特斯拉（纳斯达克：TSLA）是2020年最大的市场故事之一，涨幅超过700%。这帮助他们与其他大型科技巨头一起成为美国估值最高的股票之一。它现在是“有史以来”最有价值的汽车制造商。它现在价值近8000亿美元。</blockquote> After a much-touted Battery Day event and expectations of Musk developing a “Million Mile Battery” in the near future, Tesla recently joined the S&amp;P 500.<blockquote>在备受吹捧的电池日活动以及马斯克在不久的将来开发出“百万英里电池”的期望之后，特斯拉最近加入了标普500。</blockquote> Tesla is the de-facto king of the electric vehicle market. And it’s easy to see why. Armed with slick cars, game-changing technology and an out of this world CEO, Tesla has a lot going for it.<blockquote>特斯拉是电动汽车市场事实上的王者。原因显而易见。拥有精美的汽车、改变游戏规则的技术和出色的首席执行官，特斯拉有很多优势。</blockquote> Billionaire Elon Musk had his eye on this trend far before the hype started building. He released the first Tesla Roadster back in 2008, making electric vehicles cool when people were still snubbing their noses at the first-generation EVs. Since then, Tesla’s stock has skyrocketed by over 14,000%. But while Tesla’s EV threat to the industry is clear, the competition is heating up in China.<blockquote>亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克早在炒作开始之前就注意到了这一趋势。早在2008年，他就发布了第一款特斯拉Roadster，当人们还在对第一代电动汽车嗤之以鼻时，他就让电动汽车变得很酷。此后，特斯拉股价暴涨超14,000%。不过，尽管特斯拉电动汽车对该行业的威胁显而易见，但中国的竞争正在加剧。</blockquote> Nio (NYSE:NIO) is Tesla’s biggest competitor, dominating the Chinese EV markets. After going public in 2018, it’s been on a tear, producing vehicles with record-breaking range. They recently unveiled their first electric sedan with a longer range battery, which sent shares surging in early January.<blockquote>蔚来（纽约证券交易所代码：蔚来）是特斯拉最大的竞争对手，主导着中国电动汽车市场。2018年上市后，该公司一直在飞速发展，生产续航里程破纪录的车辆。他们最近推出了首款配备续航里程更长电池的电动轿车，导致一月初股价飙升。</blockquote> Nio’s current performance is a far cry from just one year ago In fact, many shareholders were ready to write off their losses and give up on the company. But China’s answer to Tesla’s dominance powered on, eclipsed estimates, and most importantly, kept its balance sheet in line. And it’s paid off. In a big way. The company has seen its share price soar from $3.24 at the start of 2020 to a high of $61 this month, representing a massive 1600% return for investors who held strong.<blockquote>蔚来目前的业绩与一年前相去甚远，事实上，许多股东已经准备注销亏损并放弃该公司。但中国对特斯拉主导地位的反应强劲，超出了预期，最重要的是，中国的资产负债表保持了一致。而且得到了回报。在很大程度上。该公司的股价从2020年初的3.24美元飙升至本月的61美元高点，对于持有强势的投资者来说，这意味着1600%的巨额回报。</blockquote> By NIO’s fourth quarter report in October, the company announced that its sales had more than doubled, projecting even greater sales in 2021. The EV up-and-comer has shocked investors and pulled itself back after its rumored potential bankruptcy in 2019, and if this year shows investors anything, it’s that its CEO William Li is as skilled and ambitious as anyone in the business.<blockquote>到蔚来10月份发布第四季度报告时，该公司宣布其销售额增长了一倍多，预计2021年的销售额会更大。这家电动汽车后起之秀震惊了投资者，并在2019年传闻可能破产后退出，如果说今年向投资者展示了什么的话，那就是其首席执行官李威廉与业内任何人一样熟练和雄心勃勃。</blockquote> Toyota Motors (NYSE:TM) is a massive international car producer that hasn’t ignored the transition to greener transportation. In fact, the Toyota Prius was one of the first hybrids to hit the road in a big way. While the legacy hybrid vehicle has been the butt of many jokes throughout the years, the car has been a major success, and more importantly, it helped spur the adoption of greener vehicles for years to come.<blockquote>丰田汽车（纽约证券交易所代码：TM）是一家大型国际汽车生产商，并没有忽视向绿色交通的过渡。事实上，丰田普锐斯是最早大规模上路的混合动力车之一。虽然传统混合动力汽车多年来一直是许多笑话的笑柄，但该车取得了巨大成功，更重要的是，它有助于刺激未来几年绿色汽车的采用。</blockquote> And just because its Prius hasn’t exactly aged as well as some green competitors, Toyota hasn’t left the green power race yet. Just a few days ago, actually, the giant automaker announced that three new electric vehicles will be coming to United States markets soon.<blockquote>仅仅因为它的普锐斯还没有像一些绿色竞争对手那样老化，丰田还没有退出绿色动力竞赛。事实上，就在几天前，这家大型汽车制造商宣布三款新电动汽车将很快登陆美国市场。</blockquote> “We continue to be leaders in electrification that began with our pioneering introduction of the Prius nearly 25 years ago,” said Bob Carter, TMNA executive vice president of sales. “Toyota’s new electrified product offerings will give customers multiple choices of powertrain that best suits their needs.”<blockquote>TMNA销售执行副总裁Bob Carter表示：“自近25年前开创性地推出普锐斯以来，我们一直是电气化领域的领导者。”“丰田新的电气化产品将为客户提供最适合其需求的多种动力总成选择。”</blockquote> Toyota has a major hold over U.S. markets at the moment. In fact, it maintains a 75% share of total fuel cell vehicles and a 64% share in hybrid and plug-in vehicles. And now it’s looking to capture a greater share of electric vehicles, as well.<blockquote>丰田目前在美国市场占据主要地位。事实上，它在燃料电池汽车总量中保持着75%的份额，在混合动力和插电式汽车中保持着64%的份额。现在，它也希望在电动汽车中占据更大的份额。</blockquote> General Motors (NYSE:GM) is one of the legacy automakers benefiting from a shift from gas-powered to EV technology. Even with the downfall of Detroit, GM has persisted, and that’s due in large part to its ability to adapt. In fact, GM’s dive into alternative fuels began way back in 1966 when it produced the world’s first-ever hydrogen-powered van. And it has not stopped innovating, either.<blockquote>通用汽车（纽约证券交易所代码：GM）是受益于从汽油动力技术向电动汽车技术转变的传统汽车制造商之一。即使底特律垮台，通用汽车仍坚持不懈，这在很大程度上归功于其适应能力。事实上，通用汽车早在1966年就开始涉足替代燃料，当时它生产了世界上第一辆氢动力货车。它也没有停止创新。</blockquote> With the news of GM’s new business unit, BrightDrop, they plan to sell electric vans and services to commercial delivery companies, disrupting the market for delivery logistics. This is a huge move as delivery sales have absolutely exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic, and are projected to grow even further over the coming years.<blockquote>随着通用汽车新业务部门BrightDrop的消息传出，他们计划向商业送货公司出售电动货车和服务，从而扰乱送货物流市场。这是一个巨大的举措，因为送货销售在COVID-19大流行期间绝对呈爆炸式增长，并且预计在未来几年将进一步增长。</blockquote> And in January 2021, the giant automaker announced that it will discontinue production of all gas-powered vehicles, including hybrids, by 2035. This is a key factor in its commitment to become carbon-net zero by 2040.&nbsp; The move will likely sit well with shareholders which are increasingly pushing for companies to clean up their act.<blockquote>2021年1月，这家汽车巨头宣布将在2035年之前停止生产所有汽油动力汽车，包括混合动力汽车。这是其承诺到2040年实现净零碳排放的关键因素。此举可能会受到股东的欢迎，他们越来越多地敦促公司清理其行为。</blockquote> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLNK\">Blink Charging</a> (NASDAQ:BLNK) is building an EV charging network that may be small right now, but it’s got explosive growth potential that is as big as the EV market itself.&nbsp;&nbsp;This stock is on a major tear and all that cash flowing into it right now gives Blink the superpower to acquire and expand.<blockquote><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLNK\">闪烁充电</a>（纳斯达克：BLNK）正在建设一个电动汽车充电网络，目前可能规模很小，但它具有与电动汽车市场本身一样大的爆炸性增长潜力。这只股票正在大幅上涨，目前流入它的所有现金都给了眨眼收购和扩张的超级大国。</blockquote> A wave of new deals, including a collaboration with EnerSys and another with Envoy Technologies to deploy electric vehicles and charging stations adds further support to the bullish case for Blink.<blockquote>一波新交易，包括与EnerSys的合作以及与Envoy Technologies的合作部署电动汽车和充电站，进一步支持了眨眼.</blockquote> Michael D. Farkas, Founder, CEO and Executive Chairman of Blink noted, “This is an exciting collaboration with EnerSys because it combines the industry-leading technologies of our two companies to provide user-friendly, high powered, next-generation charging alternatives. We are continuously innovating our product offerings to provide more efficient and convenient charging options to the growing community of EV drivers.”<blockquote>Michael D.Farkas，创始人、首席执行官兼执行主席眨眼指出：“这是与EnerSys的一次令人兴奋的合作，因为它结合了我们两家公司的行业领先技术，提供用户友好、大功率的下一代充电替代方案。我们不断创新我们的产品，以提供更高效、更方便的充电选择为不断增长的电动汽车驾驶员社区提供。”</blockquote> Blink Charging was one of the darlings of the EV boom throughout 2020 because of its expansion in EV charging technology. With their chargers deployed at airports, car dealers, hospitals, restaurants, retailers, and schools across the nation, Blink recently saw shares jump 76% in just one month.<blockquote>由于其在电动汽车充电技术方面的扩张，Blink Charging成为2020年电动汽车热潮的宠儿之一。Blink的充电器部署在全国各地的机场、汽车经销商、医院、餐馆、零售商和学校，其股价最近在短短一个月内上涨了76%。</blockquote> NFI Group (TSX:NFI) is one of Canada’s leaders in the electric vehicle space. It produces transit busses and motorcycles. NFI had a difficult start to the year, but it since cut its debt and begun to address its cash flow struggles in a meaningful way. Though it remains down from January highs, NFI still offers investors a promising opportunity to capitalize on the electric vehicle boom.<blockquote>NFI集团（多伦多证券交易所代码：NFI）是加拿大电动汽车领域的领导者之一。它生产公共汽车和摩托车。NFI今年开局艰难，但此后该公司削减了债务，并开始以有意义的方式解决现金流问题。尽管仍低于1月份的高点，NFI仍然为投资者提供了利用电动汽车繁荣的大好机会。</blockquote> Recently, NFI has seen an uptick in insider stock purchases which is often a sign that the board and management strongly believe in the future of the company. In addition to its increasingly positive financial reports, it is also one of the few in the business that actually pay dividends out to its investors.<blockquote>近日，NFI内部股票购买量有所增加，这通常表明董事会和管理层对公司的未来充满信心。除了日益积极的财务报告外，它也是业内少数几家真正向投资者支付股息的公司之一。</blockquote> Not to be outdone, GreenPower Motor (TSX.V:GPV) a thriving electric bus manufacturer based out of Vancouver, is making moves on the market, as well. Although for the moment, its focus is primarily on the North American market, but its ambitions are much larger. Founded over a decade ago, GreenPower has been on the frontlines of the electric transportation movement, with a focus on building affordable battery-electric busses and trucks.<blockquote>不甘示弱，GreenPower Motor(TSX.V：GPV)一家总部位于温哥华的蓬勃发展的电动巴士制造商也在市场上采取行动。虽然目前它的重点主要是北美市场，但它的野心要大得多。成立于十多年前，绿色能源一直站在电动交通运动的前线，专注于制造价格实惠的电池电动公交车和卡车。</blockquote> Year-to-date, GreenPower has seen its share price soar from $2.03 to $36.88. That means investors have seen 1700% gains this year alone. And with this red-hot sector only going up, GreenPower will likely continue to impress.<blockquote>年初至今，绿色能源其股价从2.03美元飙升至36.88美元。这意味着投资者仅今年一年就获得了1700%的收益。随着这个炙手可热的板块只会上涨，绿色能源可能会继续给人留下深刻印象。</blockquote> Boralex Inc.

ushered in the start of the EV boom, but it could have a frightening aftershock.\nWe’re already seeing some of the incredible triple-digit gains in EV companies like Tesla and Workhorse.\nAnd this EV wave is only expected to grow bigger in the days ahead under the Biden administration.\nJust a week after inauguration, President Biden reported he plans to replace the entire government fleet with electric vehicles.\nThat’s up to 643,000 vehicles turning electric on the government’s dime.\nBut Toyota’s president, Akio Toyoda, had an ominous prediction for what could lie ahead.\nHe stated that if EVs are adopted too quickly, we may not have the energy to support them at this point.\nIn fact, he predicted Japan would run out of electricity by summer if they banned all gas-powered vehicles now.\nHe even went as far as to say that if we rush the process of transitioning to EVs all at once, “the current business model of the auto industry is going to collapse.”\nWhile the buzz for electric vehicles has only grown over the last year, many often miss this key piece in making such a drastic shift in such a short period.\nAnd although it’s expected to create plenty of demand for solar, wind, nuclear, and geothermal energy sources…\nAt this point in the game, they are still too expensive and lack the storage capacity we’d need for those to be the final solution.\nThat’s why companies bridging the gap to the EV world are thriving.\nFacedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF), a company known for its “people and planet first” approach, has seen incredible success over the last year, for example.\nThey recently acquired EV subscription company, Steer, from the largest clean energy producer in the United States.\nSteer’s subscription model for EV cars is putting a major twist on the traditional car ownership model.\n\nSo instead of everyone going out and buying their own EV, they can borrow one as-needed instead.\nWith Facedrive’s acquisition of Steer, customers pay a simple monthly fee like with Netflix, and they get access to a fleet of EVs at their disposal.\nOver the last year, big moves like this have helped Facedrive sign a number of important partnerships and deals including government agencies, A-list celebrities, and major multinational corporations.\nAnd they’ve even managed to grow their business throughout the United States and Canada during a time when ridesharing as an industry suffered during global lockdowns.\nWhen looking at the energy shortage that could lie ahead, it’s likely that creative solutions will be key in bridging the gap to the inevitable EV future.\nSmartest in the World Making Bold Predictions\nWhile Toyota’s president made a dark prediction about where we could be headed, he’s not alone in being concerned.\nElon Musk expressed his own concerns about the issue recently as well.\nIn an interview in December, he said that the world’s electricity consumption would likely double once EVs become the norm.\nAnd that’s only accounting for this mass adoption in electric vehicles.\nThe situation could become even more pressing as the rest of our lives grow increasingly digital too, sucking up more electricity in the process.\nWith the “internet of things” creating smart cities and smart homes, the demand for electricity will only go up as everything from Peloton bikes to Nest thermostats are now connected by the internet.\nPlus, peak times could cause a real problem if we don’t come up with new energy solutions.\nWith thousands of cars on the roads during morning and evening commutes, it’s not hard to imagine times where we simply wouldn’t have enough power to charge all EVs that need it at once.\nGiven the speed of innovation and the amount of resources going into renewable energy right now though, this is sure to be a short-term issue until the next great solution is discovered.\nBut in the meantime, Facedrive’s moves are putting them squarely in position to smooth out the transition.\nAnd in addition to the monthly membership model used with Steer, they’re helping keep the number of cars on the road down through their signature ridesharing service.\nTheir model is simple.\nWhen customers hail a ride, they have the choice to ride in an electric vehicle or a standard gas-powered car.\nAfter they get to their destination, the Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) algorithm sets aside a portion of the fare to plant trees, offsetting the carbon footprint from the ride.\nIn other words, you ride, they plant a tree.\nThrough next-gen technology and partnerships, they’re giving their customers the option to make a more eco-friendly choice if they choose.\nPlus, Facedrive has added a booming food delivery service, which has expanded at a record pace while folks were stuck at home during global lockdowns.\nThey’re now delivering over 4,100 orders per day on average. And after growing to 19 major cities, they plan to expand to more cities throughout the U.S. and Canada soon.\nIt's this kind of innovative thinking that has many so optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead.\nWho Will Win In The EV Boom?\nElon Musk warned that, like with the boom in smartphones, we’re not likely to see the EV revolution all happen at once. Because just like with smartphones, you can’t replace them all at once.\nBut it’s undeniable that the movement is growing at a remarkable pace.\nEven under an administration that was not supportive of climate change and green initiatives, the EV markets have soared throughout 2020.\nTesla was one of the biggest market stories of the year, locking in over 700% gains on its way to becoming one of the largest companies on the S&P 500.\nAnd experts are expecting to see massive spending on the infrastructure needed for EVs under the Biden administration too.\nIn addition to his vow to spend more on clean energy research, President Biden also reported plans to build out 550,000 EV charging stations across the country.\nWith the growth we’ve seen in this area already, it’s also caused shares for companies like Plug Power to soar over 1,000% in 2020.\nAnd Facedrive has been sharing in this success too, with incredible gains of 834% over the last year.\nBut while they’re helping smooth out the transition to the EV future, they’ve also been busy helping to solve the problems of today.\nLast year, they created a wearable contact tracing technology called TraceSCAN.\nIt’s designed to help alert those without cell phones when they’ve been in contact with someone who’s tested positive for COVID-19.\n\nWith wearables gaining widespread adoption since the release of devices like the Fitbit or Apple Watch, the demand for TraceSCAN has erupted in recent months.\nAnd in the coming weeks, Facedrive plans to release an updated version with key health and safety benefits like temperature checking and vital sign monitoring.\nFacedrive has now signed agreements with government agencies and major airlines to use this technology.\nPlus, they are currently in discussions to continue TraceSCAN’s growth with major multinational corporations.\nAfter the surge in electric vehicle tech we saw last year, now is the time to plan for the domino effect we could see play out in the days ahead.\nAnd in the end, it could be the ones helping in the transition that become the biggest winners of the EV boom.\nHere are a few other companies to watch in the EV and EV related space:\nTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) was among the biggest market stories of 2020 with incredible gains of over 700%. This helped them become one of the highest-valued stocks in the United States with other Big Tech giants. It is now the most valuable car maker “of all time”. It is now worth almost $800 billion.\nAfter a much-touted Battery Day event and expectations of Musk developing a “Million Mile Battery” in the near future, Tesla recently joined the S&P 500.\nTesla is the de-facto king of the electric vehicle market. And it’s easy to see why. Armed with slick cars, game-changing technology and an out of this world CEO, Tesla has a lot going for it.\nBillionaire Elon Musk had his eye on this trend far before the hype started building. He released the first Tesla Roadster back in 2008, making electric vehicles cool when people were still snubbing their noses at the first-generation EVs. Since then, Tesla’s stock has skyrocketed by over 14,000%. But while Tesla’s EV threat to the industry is clear, the competition is heating up in China.\nNio (NYSE:NIO) is Tesla’s biggest competitor, dominating the Chinese EV markets. After going public in 2018, it’s been on a tear, producing vehicles with record-breaking range. They recently unveiled their first electric sedan with a longer range battery, which sent shares surging in early January.\nNio’s current performance is a far cry from just one year ago In fact, many shareholders were ready to write off their losses and give up on the company. But China’s answer to Tesla’s dominance powered on, eclipsed estimates, and most importantly, kept its balance sheet in line. And it’s paid off. In a big way. The company has seen its share price soar from $3.24 at the start of 2020 to a high of $61 this month, representing a massive 1600% return for investors who held strong.\nBy NIO’s fourth quarter report in October, the company announced that its sales had more than doubled, projecting even greater sales in 2021. The EV up-and-comer has shocked investors and pulled itself back after its rumored potential bankruptcy in 2019, and if this year shows investors anything, it’s that its CEO William Li is as skilled and ambitious as anyone in the business.\nToyota Motors (NYSE:TM) is a massive international car producer that hasn’t ignored the transition to greener transportation. In fact, the Toyota Prius was one of the first hybrids to hit the road in a big way. While the legacy hybrid vehicle has been the butt of many jokes throughout the years, the car has been a major success, and more importantly, it helped spur the adoption of greener vehicles for years to come.\nAnd just because its Prius hasn’t exactly aged as well as some green competitors, Toyota hasn’t left the green power race yet. Just a few days ago, actually, the giant automaker announced that three new electric vehicles will be coming to United States markets soon.\n“We continue to be leaders in electrification that began with our pioneering introduction of the Prius nearly 25 years ago,” said Bob Carter, TMNA executive vice president of sales. “Toyota’s new electrified product offerings will give customers multiple choices of powertrain that best suits their needs.”\nToyota has a major hold over U.S. markets at the moment. In fact, it maintains a 75% share of total fuel cell vehicles and a 64% share in hybrid and plug-in vehicles. And now it’s looking to capture a greater share of electric vehicles, as well.\nGeneral Motors (NYSE:GM) is one of the legacy automakers benefiting from a shift from gas-powered to EV technology. Even with the downfall of Detroit, GM has persisted, and that’s due in large part to its ability to adapt. In fact, GM’s dive into alternative fuels began way back in 1966 when it produced the world’s first-ever hydrogen-powered van. And it has not stopped innovating, either.\nWith the news of GM’s new business unit, BrightDrop, they plan to sell electric vans and services to commercial delivery companies, disrupting the market for delivery logistics. This is a huge move as delivery sales have absolutely exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic, and are projected to grow even further over the coming years.\nAnd in January 2021, the giant automaker announced that it will discontinue production of all gas-powered vehicles, including hybrids, by 2035. This is a key factor in its commitment to become carbon-net zero by 2040.  The move will likely sit well with shareholders which are increasingly pushing for companies to clean up their act.\nBlink Charging (NASDAQ:BLNK) is building an EV charging network that may be small right now, but it’s got explosive growth potential that is as big as the EV market itself.  This stock is on a major tear and all that cash flowing into it right now gives Blink the superpower to acquire and expand.\nA wave of new deals, including a collaboration with EnerSys and another with Envoy Technologies to deploy electric vehicles and charging stations adds further support to the bullish case for Blink.\nMichael D. Farkas, Founder, CEO and Executive Chairman of Blink noted, “This is an exciting collaboration with EnerSys because it combines the industry-leading technologies of our two companies to provide user-friendly, high powered, next-generation charging alternatives. We are continuously innovating our product offerings to provide more efficient and convenient charging options to the growing community of EV drivers.”\nBlink Charging was one of the darlings of the EV boom throughout 2020 because of its expansion in EV charging technology. With their chargers deployed at airports, car dealers, hospitals, restaurants, retailers, and schools across the nation, Blink recently saw shares jump 76% in just one month.\nNFI Group (TSX:NFI) is one of Canada’s leaders in the electric vehicle space. It produces transit busses and motorcycles. NFI had a difficult start to the year, but it since cut its debt and begun to address its cash flow struggles in a meaningful way. Though it remains down from January highs, NFI still offers investors a promising opportunity to capitalize on the electric vehicle boom.\nRecently, NFI has seen an uptick in insider stock purchases which is often a sign that the board and management strongly believe in the future of the company. In addition to its increasingly positive financial reports, it is also one of the few in the business that actually pay dividends out to its investors.\nNot to be outdone, GreenPower Motor (TSX.V:GPV) a thriving electric bus manufacturer based out of Vancouver, is making moves on the market, as well. Although for the moment, its focus is primarily on the North American market, but its ambitions are much larger. Founded over a decade ago, GreenPower has been on the frontlines of the electric transportation movement, with a focus on building affordable battery-electric busses and trucks.\nYear-to-date, GreenPower has seen its share price soar from $2.03 to $36.88. That means investors have seen 1700% gains this year alone. And with this red-hot sector only going up, GreenPower will likely continue to impress.\nBoralex Inc. (TSX:BLX) is an upcoming renewable firm based in Kingsey Falls, Canada. The company’s primary energies are produced through wind, hydroelectric, thermal, and solar sources and help power the homes of many people globally. Not only has it has had a great influence in the adoption of renewable electricity domestically, it’s even branching out into the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.
