If you thought car prices were weird in 2023 and 2024—and they were—just wait until new tariffs get involved. President Trump's 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico are expected to hit this weekend, and they could soon have a profound effect on car prices, electric or otherwise. And today we learned at least one Canadian politician may not be taking this lying down; the country's former finance minister is threatening Tesla, specifically, with 100% tariffs over CEO Elon Musk's support of President Trump. What a sentence to write! What a time to be alive! But hey, it's not all doom and gloom around here. We have some cool news about the Kia EV5 for North America, a track test of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and the latest episode of the Plugged-In Podcast for you today. We hope you tune in.
