America's EV graveyard grows: All the electric cars axed by automakers this year

Automakers have reorganized their EV lineups since September 2025, when federal tax credits ended.
Sagging demand, tariffs, and a new generation of EVs have also led to several product cancellations.
Business Insider compiled a list of EVs that have been killed or indefinitely delayed in 2026.
American EV sales are still facing pressure.

Since September 2025, when the federal $7,500 tax credit for US-made EVs ended, fewer shoppers have chosen a battery-powered car for their next set of wheels.

In the first quarter of 2026, deliveries dropped 27%, according to Cox Automotive data. That follows a 46% plunge in EV sales in the final quarter of 2025.

The slowdown began reshaping which new car models appeared on US dealership lots last year. By the end of 2025, Ford ended production of the F-150 Lightning, Nissan axed the Ariya, Acura stopped building the ZDX, and Volkswagen paused the ID. Buzz until 2027.

That shake-up has continued into 2026.

And, with a declining trend in population, all automakers will begin to feel a pinch.

Yup

It also depends on who is running our country.

Trump is not good for the EV industry like a democrat would be. If our next president is a democrat, then we will have more EV sales.

I bought my EV when my democrat governor offered me a giant rebate. The companies I drive for give me a bonus for driving an EV. For me an EV is cheaper than a similar gas car.

You've been predicting things like this for 10 years.

10 Years ago you predicted Tesla would fail, and now Musk is the world's richest person.

Knock-off of a Lexus, without the ugly no-grill. Just as ugly, and far less practical.

A joke for people who like to go places.

Tesla will go bust in a year or two.

YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fill up that gas-hog with Sunoco 94 and put the charge slip in the console without looking at it.

Buy some expensive wine that you don't know jack shit about.

Brag about your 50's ranch cracker box in that neighborhood that nobody here could afford.

Yup

So buy one and save the industry.
