Many of the most popular battery-electric and plug-in hybrid models are assembled outside of the United States , and so are subject to new 25 percent tariffs as they come over the border.

These new fees will apply even to some US -brand cars, which carry American marques but are assembled in factories in Mexico or Canada .

On the flip side, foreign auto brands, including BMW , Kia , and Volkswagen , manufacture some battery-powered cars in US factories, which means specific models won't get hit with auto import taxes.

The wider effects of the tariffs may mean that the next generation of EVs could be more expensive than expected—but many, at least, will be more American . Made in the USAUsing data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , WIRED has compiled a list of US -assembled electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles..
