It's actually Claycomo, MISSOURI, a suburb of Kansas City.
Like just about every car these days, the FEH's
component parts have an international pedigree.
Most parts are from the US and Canada. That is why the Escape Hybrid is classified as a US domestic vehicle ... and then again, so are many cars from companies with Japanese ownership that are assembled in the US. Here's an excerpt from a recent Associated Press story:

" ... Honda's first pickup truck, the 2006 Ridgeline, is more "American" than a Chevy pickup, the Avalanche. And the Toyota Camry is more "American" than the Chrysler 300.
The Ridgeline gets 75 percent of its parts from the United States and Canada, compared with 61 percent for Chevrolet's Avalanche. The Camry, built at an assembly plant in Georgetown, Ky., has 80 percent American content vs. the Canadian-built Chrysler 300's 72 percent."

Remember, a content sticker on the vehicle will tell you the percentage of origin of the car's components. It's US federal law.

And yes, with the FEH the battery pack and transmission are from Japanese companies. Sanyo for the batteries and Aisin for the transmission.

Anyway, last time I looked the Ford Motor Company is headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, and like most large American companies is a Delaware corporation.
Buy a little stock. The public's been buying it since the mid-1950's.
Better yet, buy the FEH or its cousin ... from one of the few domestic Ford plants that is in no danger of closing.
