Here Are All the EVs That Have Been Canceled or Discontinued
As demand for EVs cools in the United States, several electric models have been killed off after just a brief time in the spotlight.
Just a few years ago, the transition to a market full of electric vehicles seemed inevitable, and the vast majority of automakers proclaimed that their lineups would become fully electrified over the next decade. But EV adoption, at least in the United States, hasn't taken off quite as quickly as many companies expected. Along with less enthusiastic demand for electric cars, the Trump administration's elimination of the $7500 federal EV tax credit at the end of September 2025 set the EV transition back even further.
The headwinds against EVs have led to a dramatic shift in most automakers' plans, with several models taken off the market after a short period and many more prematurely canceled. Several EVs never saw the light of day and are not included in this list. These include a three-row SUV from Ford, the electric Maserati MC20 Folgore sports car, a pair of sedans from Nissan and Infiniti, and a flagship electric SUV from Porsche, codenamed K1 and now set to launch with internal-combustion and plug-in hybrid powertrains instead.
We've rounded up all of the EVs that were recently discontinued as a result of a cooling EV market, or canceled before they even had the chance to reach dealerships. We focus here on EVs that went on sale or were close to entering production before they were axed. Models that were discontinued due to age, such as the Audi Q8 e-tron and the BMW i4, aren't included here, as well as vehicles that stopped being sold but are set to be replaced by a new generation in the near future, such as the Polestar 2 and Mercedes-Benz EQB.
