Today I'm going to show you an electric vehicle

今天我將展示一台電動車

that weighs less than a bicycle,

它的重量比腳踏車還輕，

that you can carry with you anywhere,

你到哪裡都可以隨身帶著它，

that you can charge off a normal wall outlet in 15 minutes,

你可以從普通的充電插座充電 15 分鐘，

and you can run it for 1,000 kilometers

接著你就可以騎 1000 公里

on about a dollar of electricity.

約一美元的電力。

But when I say the word electric vehicle,

但當我說到電動車的時候，

people think about vehicles. They think about cars

人們想到的是車。他們想的是汽車、

and motorcycles and bicycles, and the vehicles that you use every day.

機車、和腳踏車，那些你每天使用的車輛。

But if you come about it from a different perspective,

但是假如你是從不同觀點來看，

you can create some more interesting,

你可以創造更多的趣味，

more novel concepts.

更多新的概念。

So we built something.

所以我們建造了某些東西。

I've got some of the pieces in my pocket here.

我口袋裡有一些零件。

So this is the motor.

這是一個馬達。

This motor has enough power to take you

這個馬達有足夠的馬力

up the hills of San Francisco at about 20 miles per hour,

可以讓你以爬舊金山的山， 大概一小時走 20 英里，

about 30 kilometers an hour,

也就是大約時速 30 公里，

and this battery, this battery right here

然後這個電池，在這邊的這個電池

has about six miles of range, or 10 kilometers,

約有可以走 6 英里的電量，或是 10 公里，

which is enough to cover about half of the car trips

它足夠應付一半以上 美國內的汽車旅行。

in the U.S. alone.

它足夠應付一半以上 美國內的汽車旅行。

But the best part about these components

但最棒的部分是關於這些元件

is that we bought them at a toy store.

是我們從玩具店買來的。

These are from remote control airplanes.

它們是來自遙控飛機。

And the performance of these things has gotten so good

這些零件的性能 已經變得如此良好，

that if you think about vehicles a little bit differently,

使得假如你想讓車輛有一小點的不同，

you can really change things.

你也能真正的改變一些事情。

So today we're going to show you one example

所以今天我們將展示一個範例

of how you can use this.

讓你知道如何使用這個東西。

Pay attention to not only how fun this thing is,

將你的注意力不僅要放在 這個東西有多有趣，

but also how the portability that comes with this

也要注意隨之而來 攜帶的方便性

can totally change the way you interact with a city like San Francisco.

它將完全改變你和像舊金山城市互動的方式。

(Music)

（音樂）

[6 Mile Range] [Top Speed Near 20mph]

〔6英里範圍〕〔最高速近每小時20英里〕

[Uphill Climbing]

〔攀爬上坡〕

[Regenerative Braking]

〔再生式煞車〕 （譯註：指煞車時產生電能而非原本會流失的熱能。）

(Applause)

（掌聲）

(Cheers)

（歡呼聲）

So we're going to show you what this thing can do.

所以我們將展示這能做什麼。

It's really maneuverable. You have a hand-held remote,

它非常的有機動性。你有一個手持遙控，

so you can pretty easily control acceleration, braking,

所以你可以非常簡單地控制加速、煞車、

go in reverse if you like, also have braking.

以及倒車，假如你喜歡的話， 同樣也是有煞車。

It's incredible just how light this thing is.

最難以置信的就是它非常地輕。

I mean, this is something you can pick up and carry with you

我指的是，你可以拿起來 並攜帶在你身邊，

anywhere you go.

隨你去任何地方。

So I'll leave you with one of the most compelling facts

所以我們將會留給你們 一個最引人注目的事實，

about this technology and these kinds of vehicles.

是關於這項技術和這些種類的「車」。

This uses 20 times less energy

這減少了 20 倍的能源消耗，

for every mile or kilometer that you travel than a car,

和你旅行時開車 每一英里或一公里比起來，

which means not only is this thing fast to charge

這不僅代表它可快速充電

and really cheap to build,

而且造價便宜，

but it also reduces the footprint of your energy use

同時它也減少你在交通運輸上

in terms of your transportation.

使用能源留下的痕跡。

So instead of looking at large amounts of energy needed

所以與其尋找更大量的需求能源

for each person in this room to get around in a city,

來讓這房間內每個人 在城市間往來，

now you can look at much smaller amounts

現在你可以尋找消耗更少能源

and more sustainable transportation.

而且更可持續發展的交通運輸工具。

So next time you think about a vehicle,

所以下次當你想到車輛，

I hope, like us, you're thinking about something new.

我希望，像我們一樣，你們會聯想到一些新的東西。

Thank you.

謝謝。

(Applause)
