A | 　　高油价、购车补贴和平价车型正在推动欧洲消费者加快转向电动车。 WASHINGTON -- The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits was unchanged last week, remaining at historically low levels in another sign that the U.S. job market remains strong in the face of higher interest rates.Unemployment claims stayed at 209,000 for the week ending Oct. 7, the Labor Department reported Thursday. The four-week moving average of claims, which strips out week-to-week volatility, fell by 3,000 to 206,250.The numbers, a proxy for layoffs, continue to show that American workers enjoy extraordinary job security. When the Federal Reserve began raising its benchmark interest rate last year to rein in surging consumer prices, many economists expected the United States to sink into recession.But the economy and the job market have remained sturdy even as higher rates have brought inflation down steadily from the four-decade highs reached in 2022. The combination of easing inflationary pressures and healthy hiring is raising hopes that the Fed can stick a so-called soft landing — beating inflation without triggering an economic downturn.“Overall, layoffs remain low and demand for workers remains strong,'' said Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics. ”Even as the Fed has taken aggressive action to soften labor market conditions, businesses are not shedding workers at a rapid pace.''Overall, 1.7 million people were collecting unemployment checks the week that ended Sept. 30, up by 30,000 from the week before.。　　欧洲电动汽车协会（E-Mobility Europe）和行业研究机构New Automotive数据显示，7月，覆盖欧盟及欧洲自由贸易联盟九成以上汽车销量的16个市场，纯电动汽车注册量同比增长13%，占新车销量的25.7%。　　今年上半年，欧盟电动车销量同比增长40.5%，超过120万辆，占新车总销量的20.7%。自2月美国和以色列与伊朗爆发战争并推高燃油价格以来，欧洲消费者对电动车的关注度持续上升。行业关注焦点已经转向油价回落后需求能否延续。　　高油价与平价车型带动需求　　法国汽车制造商雷诺（Renault）英国公司董事总经理Adam Wood表示，消费者希望降低燃油价格波动带来的影响，电动车就成为了不错的选择。

B | 两年前，电动车仅占雷诺英国销量的10%；今年7月，这一比例在公司销量中已超过50%。　　七月，雷诺5成为英国最畅销的电动车。雷诺还计划于今年晚些时候推出电动版Twingo，起售价低于2万英镑，雷诺希望该车型能够纳入英国政府补贴范围。　　消费者的使用成本也在影响购车选择。一名英国车主表示，她在家为刚购买的雷诺Megane电动车充电，费用略高于1英镑/次，此前使用燃油车时的加油费用为60英镑。

C | 　　补贴加快转型充电短板仍存　　法国面向低收入人群的电动车“社会租赁”补贴计划已经启动。

D | 今年前7个月，电动车占法国新车销量的29%；7月单月占比达到创纪录的35%，去年同期为17%。　　美国市场走势不同。特朗普政府去年取消联邦电动车税收优惠后，美国第二季度电动车销量较第一季度增长约15%，较去年同期下降逾20%。美国汽车数据公司考克斯汽车（Cox Automotive）预计，今年美国电动车销量将同比下降23%，市场份额降至6.2%。　　公共充电设施不足仍是欧洲电动车销量继续增长的一项障碍。　　汽车咨询公司AutoAnalysis的Ian Henry表示，欧洲有数以百万计的居民住在公寓中，缺少便利的充电条件。市场可能正在接近阶段性饱和，一部分消费者有意购买电动车，现实条件难以满足这一需求。（文章来源：财联社）。
