标题：《谁在电车上走对了路子：伊隆·马斯克还是沃伦·巴菲特？》

巴菲特十大持股之一的比亚迪成为特斯拉的强劲对手

Over a decade ago, Elon Musk **scoffed** at the idea that China's BYD was a **legitimate** competitor. Oh, how the **mighty** have fallen, writes @atrivedi1.

在过去的十年间，伊隆·马斯克对于中国比亚迪是一个正经的竞争对手这个观点嗤之以鼻。噢，巨头是这样衰落了，@atrivedi1写道。

Warren Buffett-backed BYD is set to **wash out** its closest **rival** in China, Tesla. A BYD executive said that his company was "preparing to supply batteries to Tesla very soon." The potential deal will **catapult** BYD to become one of the world's most **prominent** and largest EV and battery manufacturers.

沃伦·巴菲特所支持的比亚迪即将击败它在中国最接近的竞争对手，特斯拉。一名比亚迪的高管表示，他所在的公司“很快就要开始准备给特斯拉供应电池了。”这笔潜在的交易会让比亚迪迅速成为全世界最重要以及最大的电动汽车和电池制造商之一。

BYD has upped its game over the past two years with **a range of** EVs and higher-technology **lithium** iron **phosphate** batteries, allowing it to **grab** global market share. The company plans to sell 1.5 million units this year, pushing it to almost a third of the China EV market by the end of 2022.

比亚迪在过去两年中加大了其研发力度，推出了一系列电动汽车和技术含量更高的磷酸铁锂电池，从而得以抢占全球市场份额。公司计划今年销售150万套电池，这将会使它在2022年底占据中国电动汽车市场的近三分之一。
