The move to put 10% additional tariffs on imports from China will affect a small number of U.S. vehicles, but increased costs of auto parts could affect already heightened car prices. The biggest impact on vehicles will be on Ford Motor's Lincoln Nautilus and General Motors' Buick Envision.

President Donald Trump’s move to impose 10% additional tariffs on imports from China this week affects a small number of U.S. vehicles.

For the full year of 2024, Ford posted a net income of $5.9 billion on adjusted earnings of $10.2 billion. Its electric vehicle business, however, lost $5.1 billion, even worse than its loss of $4.7 billion the year prior. It expects to lose even more, $5.5 billion, on EVs in 2025.

Ford is the first major automaker to report earnings since Trump signed an executive order stating that the U.S. would impose 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, which would affect Ford.

Ford’s electric vehicle and software business lost $5.1 billion in 2024, up from $4.7 billion lost in 2024. And the automaker doesn’t anticipate any relief this year, when it predicts it will lose as much as $5.
