Tesla Inc.’s four electric vehicles have been ranked in the top four spots on this year’s Cars.com Inc. list of the most-American-made cars.
According to the ranking released on Wednesday by Cars.com, Tesla’s Model Y SUV, Model 3 sedan, Model X SUV and Model S sedan are ranked in spots one to four.
In the list, only eight of the top 100 American-made cars were all-electric, with the Ford Motor Co. F-150 Lightning, Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and Nissan Leaf each earning a spot.
Volkswagen AG’s ID.4 SUV was the only other EV to crack the top ten, which was otherwise dominated by Honda Motor Co.’s namesake and premium Acura brand models.
Cars.com said it compiled the list of 100 out of some 388 considered on the basis of its assessment of “highest-contributing vehicles to the US economy for manufacturing, parts sourcing and employment.”
Cars.com’s 18th annual compilation comes amid a US government push to build out a domestic electric-vehicle supply chain.
The Inflation Reduction Act signed into law last year by President Joe Biden offers billions of dollars in potential incentives for companies to produce electric vehicles and their components in the US.
