Automakers are deep into meetings with their Washington, DC, staff, the industry’s chief lobbyist and their own product and production planning leaders after the election of Donald Trump.

AutoPacific is one of the leading research and analysis firms in the auto industry, and the firm’s team works with automakers on product planning, trend analysis, product quality, design and more.

WardsAuto Senior Editor David Kiley talks with AutoPacific President Ed Kim about what’s ahead for automakers and consumers, as well as what he thinks are some of the best battery-electric vehicles on the market now and coming to showrooms in 2025.
