The good news is that more people bought electric cars in 2020. The bad news is that SUVs continued to grow in popularity, too. The fall in oil consumption due to the first trend was completelycancelled outby the second, say Laura Cozzi and Apostolos Petropoulos at the International Energy Agency in France.

好消息是，2020年有更多的人购买了电动汽车。坏消息是SUV型轿车的受欢迎程度也一直在增长。在法国国际能源署工作的劳拉•科齐和阿波斯托罗斯•佩特罗普洛斯表示，由于第一个趋势造成的石油消耗量的下降完全被第二个趋势抵消了。
The growing popularity of SUVs is making it even harder to cut carbon dioxide emissions and meet climate goals. “Policy-makersneed to find ways to persuade consumers to choose smaller and more efficient cars,” says Petropoulos.

SUV型轿车越来越受欢迎导致减少二氧化碳排放并实现气候目标变得更加困难。佩特罗普洛斯说：“政策制定者需要找到说服消费者选择更小、更节能汽车的方法。”
Oil consumption by conventional cars – excluding SUVs – is estimated to have dropped 10 per cent in 2020, or by more than 1.8 million barrels a day, Cozzi and Petropoulos say in acommentarypublished on 15 January. Most of this fall was due to reduced travel because of the pandemic and is therefore likely to be temporary.

Globally, there are now more than 280 million SUVs on the roads, up from less than 50 million in 2010. On average, SUVs consume 20 per cent more energy per kilometre than a medium-sized car. The increase in SUVs in 2020 led to a rise in oil consumption that cancelled out the effect of electric cars, says Petropoulos.

现在全球有超过2.8亿辆SUV上路，而2010年这一数字还不到5千万。SUV型轿车平均每公里的能耗比中型车高出20%。佩特罗普洛斯说，2020年SUV的增加导致石油消耗量上升，抵消了电动汽车带来的影响。
There are many reasons for the growing popularity of SUVs, says Petropoulos. Risingprosperityin countries such as India and South Africa means more people are able to afford them,for instance. Some people see them as status symbols. Some countries, including France, have introduced schemes under which more tax has to be paid on heavier cars. But Peters thinks people rich enough to afford SUVs won’t bedeterredby slightly higher taxes.

佩特罗普洛斯说，SUV型轿车越来越受欢迎的原因有很多。例如，印度和南非等国家经济越来越繁荣，意味着有更多的人能够买得起SUV。有些人把它看作了身份的象征。包括法国在内的一些国家已经出台了一些计划，打算对购买重型汽车征收更多税费。但彼得斯认为，有钱到可以买得起SUV的人不会因为税收高了一点就打消购买念头。
