Global sales of electric vehicles (电车), or EVs in 2022 reached 10 per cent of all car sales for the first time, with China driving the trend, according to an analysis.
China accounted for around two-thirds of global sales of full EVs in 2022. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, 26.86 million vehicles were sold in 2022, with 6.89 million units being EVs. Sales of EVs almost doubled, increasing by 93.4 per cent year over year, thanks to cheap electricity and favourable (利好的) government policy in China.
On the other hand, the US auto makers sold 807,180 full EVs in 2022 in the domestic (本地的) market and raised the share of EVs to 5.8 per cent of all vehicles sold, up from 3.2 per cent in 2021.
However, not all Americans are joining the EV trend. For example, Wyoming State is considering a plan to phase out (逐步淘汰) of EVs in the state by 2035.
The plan states that Wyoming’s “proud and valued” oil and gas industry has created “countless” jobs and financially contributed a lot to the local government. It adds that a lack of charging infrastructure (充电设施) within Wyoming would make the widespread use of EVs basically impossible and that the state would need to build “massive amounts of new power generation” to “continue the misadventure of electric vehicles”.
The plan calls for residents and businesses to limit the sale and purchase of EVs voluntarily, with the goal of phasing them out completely by 2035.

( ) 38. How many more EVs were sold in the US in 2022 compared to 2021?
A. 2.6%
B. 9%
C. 3.2%
D. 5.8%
( ) 39. Why does Wyoming want to phase out of EVs?
A. Because EVs are too expensive in Wyoming.
B. Because it is against the Wyoming laws.
C. Because no one uses the charging infrastructure in Wyoming.
D. Because Wyoming depends heavily on oil and gas industry.
( ) 40. What does the underlined word “misadventure” in Paragraph 5 probably mean in Chinese?
