Trump imposes tariffs on all car imports: here’s where all EVs available in the US come from

President Trump has announced that the US will impose tariffs on all cars and trucks imported into the country.

Here’s where all EVs available in the US are assembled.

Shortly after taking office, Trump announced wide-ranging tariffs on many countries, including allies with whom the US had free trade agreements.

Some tariffs were quickly imposed while others, like 25% wide-ranging tariffs on all goods coming from Mexico and Canada, including in the automotive sector, were delayed.

Trump has announced that they will come into effect on April 2nd, but in recent days, the President has hinted that there will be exclusions.

Today, Trump announced the US will impose 25% duties on all cars and light trucks not made in the United States starting on April 2nd.

The only good news is that there are no tariffs on parts coming from Canada and Mexico. Therefore, the industry only has to absorb the increased tariffs on Chinese auto parts and the steel and aluminum tariffs imposed on Canada.

Update: technically, the 25% tariffs will also apply to foreign parts, with another extension of the exemption for those covered under the Canada-US-Mexico free trade agreement until May 3rd. By that point, the US commerce department believes that it will be able to have a way to better differentiate US parts from the plan and only have them exempts.

However, the US automakers must prepare for reciprocal tariffs in other markets in response to Trump’s announcement.

EVs available in the US: where are they assembled?

Considering this will increase the price of all electric vehicles made outside the US, it’s a good time to look at where all the electric cars available in the US are assembled.

Electrek’s Take

With Chinese parts, Mexican and Canadian steel and aluminum, Trump’s trade war is going to increase the price of all vehicles in the US, EVs or ICEs.

I think the Korean companies, Hyundai and Kia, are going to be particularly mad on the EV front.

GM and Ford EVs are also going to get more expensive, especially the Equinox EV and Mustang Mach-E.

Ultimately, this is bad for everyone, as other countries will slap the US with reciprocal tariffs, further isolating the US.

Furthermore, even if the tariffs all go away soon, which wouldn’t be surprising considering how volatile Trump’s administration has been, this trade war will have a lasting impact on how people see the US regarding trade. People will think twice about buying US goods for a long time.
