Auto tariffs seen hiking car prices by nearly $2,000 per vehicle

Car buyers will bear the brunt of the $30 billion cost of President Donald Trump's tariffs, driving up already high US auto prices by almost $2,000 per vehicle, according to consultant AlixPartners. The firm expects auto companies to pass along 80% of the cost of Trump's tariffs — which it calculates as $1,760 more per car. AlixPartners, as part of its annual global automotive outlook, also cautioned that the administration's anti-electric vehicle policies risk relegating American automakers to bit players in the global EV market. 'These tariffs bring a big wall of cost,' Mark Wakefield, global auto market lead for AlixPartners, told reporters in an online briefing. We see 'consumers taking the majority of the hit.' General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. have already said they expect a $5 billion and $2.5 billion tariff impact this year, respectively, though they say they will find offsets in part through price adjustments. Those higher prices will result in about 1 million fewer vehicles sold in the US over the next three years, Wakefield said. But the consultant expects US auto sales to reach 17 million in 2030, 1 million more than last year, as the impact of tariffs abates. AlixPartners' predicted sales hit is more muted than some other projections because the firm sees tariff rates falling as the US negotiates trade deals with other countries. It forecasts the 25% auto tariff will ultimately fall to 7.5% on assembled autos, 5% on parts and even lower on cars and parts that are compliant with the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. 'This tariff wall is not likely to last forever,' Wakefield said. What's likely to have a longer-lasting impact is the Trump administration's move to reduce and eliminate incentives to spur the sale of electric vehicles, such as the $7,500 consumer tax credit for purchasing a battery powered model, he said. That will steer car buyers away from EVs as they 'follow their pocketbook' and buy traditional gasoline-fueled vehicles, Wakefield said. AlixPartners slashed its forecast for EV sales in the US by nearly half. It now sees battery electric vehicles making up just 17% of US auto sales in 2030, down from a previous prediction that EVs would make up 31% of sales by then. Traditional internal combustion engine vehicles will account for half of US sales in 2030, up from AlixPartners' previous prediction that they would only make up about one-third of sales. The consultant sees traditional hybrids accounting for 27% of the US market in 2030, up from its prior forecast of 24%, while plug-in hybrids and extended-range electric vehicles will account for just 6% of US auto sales by then, down from a previous prediction of 10%. That will hurt US automakers' competitiveness and perhaps even leave them dependent on global EV leader China, Wakefield said. 'It makes it much more likely that they end up licensing or joint venturing or otherwise using platforms and EV technologies from China,' he said in an interview. The 'aggressive take-down of support' for EVs, will leave American automakers with the dubious distinction of being the world leader in big, gas-guzzling engines, a century-old technology that's in decline, Wakefield said. 'They'll have the world's best V8 engines by 2028,' Wakefield said of American automakers. 'They'll probably also have the world's only V8 engines by 2028.' Naughton writes for Bloomberg.

Housing Starts Weaken Amid Gloomy Builder Sentiment

Home-building lost ground in the U.S. last month as tariffs and labor issues bit into supply and high interest rates dragged on demand. Here are the main takeaways: from the Commerce Department's new report: Housing starts, a gauge of new residential construction, dropped nearly 10% in May to 1.26 million, according to a Commerce Department report Wednesday. That was down from a revised 1.39 million in April and was well below the expectations of economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal. Starts were 4.6% lower on the year. Residential permits also fell by more than expected, to 1.39 million. President Trump's tariffs are hitting the construction sector, with builders reporting higher costs for materials, and many forced to pile on discounts to lure wary buyers. A crackdown on immigrant labor is also raising costs. Home-builder sentiment sunk to its lowest since 2022 and its third-lowest since 2012, the National Association of Home Builders said this week. High interest rates also are keeping mortgage rates at a level that dissuades many Americans to buy a house or move. 🏠 Dig deeper: Why Housing's Woes Are a Leading Indicator
