正确说法

• 目前电动汽车市场的扩张势头依然强劲，但分析人士警告，一旦政府补贴政策退出，市场能否依靠自身需求支撑持续增长仍存在较大不确定性。(The expansion momentum of the electric vehicle market remains strong at present, but analysts warn that once government subsidy policies are withdrawn, it remains highly uncertain whether the market can sustain continued growth on its own demand.)

错误说法
