迫使特斯拉調整專利
Under the Biden administration, the United States has been making a huge push toward developing and standardizing its electric vehicle infrastructure.
在拜登政府的主導下，美國一直在大力推動其電動車（EV）基礎建設的發展和標準化。
make a huge push toward sth. 大力推動…standardize(v.)使…標準化
In February, the US Department of Transportation released the most recent EV charging regulations, which included a prominent “Made in America” element to the country’s already ambitious EV-related goals.
今年2月，美國交通部發布了最新的EV充電法規，包括一個重要的「美國製造」元素，納入原本就已野心勃勃的EV相關目標中。
regulation(n.)(細項)條例;規定rule(n.)規則;(一般)通則prominent(adj.)重要的、突出的、顯眼的
According to these standards, all federally-funded charging stations in the US will be required to “contain at least 55% of US-made components,” including steel and iron, by next July.
根據這些標準，到明年7月，美國所有由聯邦政府資助的充電站將需要「美國製造零件至少佔 55%」，包括鋼和鐵在內。

With 500,000 new chargers planned to be installed across the country by 2030, this stipulation will potentially boost domestic production of components as well as stimulate hiring in the local EV industry.
到了2030年，全國計劃安裝50萬個新充電樁，此規定將有可能促進國內零件的生產，並刺激當地EV產業的招聘。

The government aims “to raise the percentage of EVs in new US vehicle sales to 50% by 2030,” and the recently issued National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Standards and Requirements are focused on developing a more “predictable, user-friendly” charging system to support this massive increase in EVs.
政府的目標是「在2030年前，將電動車在美國新車銷售中的百分比提高到50％」，而最近發佈的「國家電動汽車基礎建設標準和規定」則側重於開發更為「可預測、容易操作」的充電系統以支持EV的大幅成長。
raise the percentage of sth. 提高～的比例、百分比
One key element of standardization is requiring a mandatory minimum of four charging ports per charger, including DC fast chargers or AC chargers.
標準化的一個關鍵要素是規定每個充電樁至少有四個充電埠，包括直流快速充電樁（DCFC）或交流充電樁。
standardization(n.)標準化mandatory(adj.)強制的;必須履行的;法定的port(n.)埠DC直流電=direct currentAC交流電=alternating currentDC fast chargers直流快速充電器(DCFC)
Each DCFC port is required to adopt the dominant type of US charging connector called the Combined Charging System.
每個DCFC埠都必須採用美國主流的充電連接器規格，稱為組合充電系統（CCS）。

Furthermore, all US chargers will need to “use standardized payment options…and work 97% of the time,” ensuring both their usability and reliability.
此外，所有美國充電樁都需要「使用標準化的支付選項……並在97％的時間內運作」，以確保它們的可用性和可靠性。
standardized(adj.)標準化usable(adj.)可使用的usability(n.)可用性
With $7.5 billion in federal funding available for developing the EV charging network in the US, conforming to these regulations will be an incentive for many companies to accommodate the “Buy American” requirement while employing more universal charger connectors.
由於聯邦政府為發展美國EV充電網路提供了75億美元的資金，遵守這些規定將激勵許多公司在採用更多通用的充電樁連接器的同時，符合「美國製造」的要求。

However, this news has already affected Tesla, forcing the company to adapt its proprietary Superchargers to allow other EVs to use them.
然而，這個消息已經影響到了特斯拉，迫使該公司調整其專利的「超級充電樁」（Superchargers），好讓其他電動車也能使用。

Despite the intentions of these new, aggressive regulations, there could still be bumps in the road ahead for many American companies trying to follow them strictly, as the current strain on the global supply chain may affect how successfully such standards can be met.
儘管這些新的、積極的規定有其用意，但仍可能會有許多美國公司在嚴格遵守這些規定時遇到困難和挑戰，因為目前全球供應鏈面臨的壓力可能會影響是否能夠成功地達到這些標準。
