Cars.Com Releases Its American-Made Vehicle Index Amid Trump Tariffs
is posting its annual American-made vehicle index amid the Trump administration's tariffs intended to increase U.S.-made content for cars and trucks. The company released its findings today. The company conducted an embargoed Automotive Press Association briefing on June 11 in Birmingham, Michigan. evaluated 99 models for U.S. content. At the top for U.S. content is Tesla Inc.'s Model 3. The Texas-based electric-car maker held the first four slots in the analysis. Other models near the top were the Jeep Gladiator, the Kia EV6 and Honda Motor Co. models the Ridgeline, Odyssey, and Passport. 'International automakers make up 67% of vehicles on the list,' Patrick Masterson, a researcher said at the Automotive Press Association briefing. Not everyone knows how much U.S. content international brands have in their vehicles, he said. Still, said U.S.-based automakers still have a lot of American content. For example, Detroit-based General Motors Co. accounted for 15% of the index. The annual survey may take on more importance than in previous years. The Trump administration is emphasizing tariffs as a way to boost U.S. manufacturing. Tariffs are levied on imported goods. They are not paid from one country to another. Instead, importers pay a tax. The importers typically pass those costs onto customers. Vehicle prices will probably rise 'based on current policies,' David Greene, principal industry analyst, said at the APA briefing. 'The tariff picture is changing,' Greene added. says its survey says consumers are willing to pay more for cars and trucks, at least up to a point, if that results in more U.S. manufacturing jobs. The question is, 'Can consumers absorb further price increases on vehicles?' Greene said. The Trump administration also wants to de-emphasize electric vehicles. The administration of former President Joseph Biden wanted to boost EV deliveries. says electrification of vehicles is still expanding. 'It's happening,' Masterson said. 'It's slow.' says the auto industry overall is a major driver of the U.S. economy. 'No matter where a vehicle ranks' on the survey 'it has an impact on the American economy,' Masterson said.

Orange EV Startup OptiGrid Brings Quick Charging To EV Truck Fleets
Orange EV battery electric terminal trucks. Orange EV Growing impatience with the speed, red tape and cost of expanding the power grid has fleet operators looking for quicker and less expensive ways to keep their electric vehicles energized. That's the problem a new company created by class eight EV truck manufacturer Orange EV aims to solve. It's called OptiGrid. The Kansas City, Kansas-based company builds quickly-installed units that store energy from the grid, or a renewable source, which is then used to recharge battery-electric trucks. 'It came about because fleets are coming to market and they have nothing to charge with. Basically, there's no there's no infrastructure,' said OptiGrid CEO Tyler Phillipi, in an interview. The units draw, and store in a battery, power from the grid or a renewable source—up to 180 kilowatt hours. Output is 200 kilowatts but is variable as needed. It's a concept called battery-integrated DC fast charging. Installed in just a few hours by wiring it into its power source and securing to the ground with eight bolts on a base designed to accommodate forklifts that can move the units if necessary, they're constantly re-energized as their power is drawn. 'What we do is the same thing a water tower would do or a reservoir,' explained Phillipi. 'We build up kilowatt hours of storage. Then whenever the vehicles that need it come by, we dump it in, and then we slowly fill it back up. Think of it as a water hose in and a fire hose out.' Parent company Orange EV created OptiGrid to solve the problem of finding adequate power to recharge its vehicles. The original concept was developed by a company called FreeWire Technologies, which eventually folded after some business missteps. But as Phillipi related, trucking industry veteran Wayne Hoovestol recognized the value of FreeWire's technology and acquired its assets, including its intellectual property and engineering team. He teamed up with Orange EV's founders and created OptiGrid. The relationship between the two companies began just this past April. 'We've seen firsthand how infrastructure delays can slow down fleet electrification efforts,' said Kurt Neutgens, founder and president at Orange EV, in a statement. 'OptiGrid gives us a turnkey, fleet-ready system with low cost of ownership and the flexibility of optional leasing to reduce capital barriers.' The quest to bring EV charging power more quickly and less expensively to where it's not currently available, is being tackled by a number of other companies in addition to OptiGrid. Some of those companies include: L-Charge provides EV fleet charging power with its transportable power stations doing business with a charge-as-a-service model. Beam Global's EV ARC system uses solar power to energize its movable charging stations. They require zero construction or connection to the power grid. ION Dynamics Energy has created robots that can find their way to vehicles in need of a charge in confined spaces such as parking garages. Voltpost planned to retrofit streetlights in cities such as New York, Chicago and Detroit with public level two EV chargers. Mountain View, California-based DC Grid is offering modular, direct current power generators using energy sources such as solar, renewable natural gas and biogas. OptiGrid is making its first round of sales through Orange EV to fleets and ports, according to Phillipi. 'There's two types of buyers. There's people who are buying it, and it's a capital expenditure that they're depreciating all of it in a year,' explained Phillipi. 'Then there's the capital light buyer, so that people want to lease it. We're having conversations with both. We're even having conversations with port and rail, which want a lease to own.' But he sees a future where the company's technology could be useful in solving EV charging needs beyond fleets and ports. 'Multifamily housing has a major power supply problem, and then dropping in a unit like this really, really unlocks the building's ability to support the growing number of customers who have this need for charging on site.'

The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Just Set Another Lap Record
The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT can add another lap record to its growing portfolio. Last month, the electric sedan set a new fast lap at Road Atlanta, beating the previous record by 6.73 seconds, which was set by a Taycan Turbo S. The Taycan Turbo GT lapped the 2.54-mile track in 1: 27.15 despite a few damp spots, setting a record for production electric vehicles. The car that set the new time was a Purple Sky 2025 Taycan equipped with the lightweight Weissach Package, which swaps the rear seats for a carbon fiber shelf and adds a fixed rear wing. The Taycan with the pack can have up to 485 pounds of downforce. Photo by: Porsche Photo by: Porsche Porsche introduced the Taycan Turbo GT over a year ago as the brand's most powerful car ever. The EV produces up to 1,092 horsepower, needing just 2.1 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour from a standstill. The standard output is 777 hp and 998 pound-feet of torque, which is still an astounding amount of power. Porsche completed its record run at Road Atlanta with the car's Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS NF0 summer performance tires set to 37 psi. The automaker also engaged Track Endurance Mode to lower the battery's starting temperature before the two attempts. Porsche set the previous record in 2020 with a Taycan Turbo S, completing a lap in 1:33.88. The Taycan Turbo GT's latest record arrives after the car ran a 1:42.1 at Brazil's Interlagos circuit in March. The car also set a record at the Nürburgring in early 2024 .
