FX CEO, Max Ma (r), contributed to key discussions on global tariffs, U.S. manufacturing and innovation at the White House last week.

In 2024, FF announced its Global Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy, including the China-U.S. industrial bridge, alongside the launch of the second brand, Faraday X (FX). FX plans to bring world-class vehicle components to the U.S. for localized assembly through this approach, which enables FX to bring global industrial value, including those from China, into the U.S. in a way that aligns perfectly with U.S. priorities and national interests.

Currently, FF is proud to have a strong manufacturing footprint in the U.S., where it builds 100% of its vehicles, and nearly 50% of FF’s existing product suppliers are based in the United States. While the FX brand will source components internationally in the early phase, FX is committed to progressively shifting to U.S.-based suppliers. This initiative will also encourage global automotive supply chain enterprises to establish manufacturing operations in the U.S., accelerating the development of the domestic NEV ecosystem. This approach not only supports the return of advanced manufacturing to America, but also safeguards U.S. consumer data, strengthens U.S. competitiveness in the global auto industry, and contributes meaningfully to restoring the country’s leadership position in the automotive sector.

Recent tariff developments may bring short-term impact to the Company’s FX strategy. However, in the mid-to-long term, this could prove to be a strategic opportunity. The Company is actively engaging with the U.S. government and has submitted constructive proposals regarding automotive policy, particularly involving U.S.–China cooperation in the EV sector.

“I was honored to participate in this important and timely discussion at the White House, that included such pertinent topics related to our operations such as tariffs, U.S. based manufacturing and the importance of innovation in driving the automotive industry to the next level,” said Max. “I’m hopeful that we can continue to have an open dialogue with the White House and its leaders to formally express our pathway and policy expectations for the development of FF and the FX brand in the U.S. market.”
