General Motors announced in October 2025 that the electric BrightDrop vans—originally launched under their own banner before being folded into the Chevrolet brand for 2025—have been discontinued. GM said the decision stemmed from the fact that the electric commercial van market was growing far slower than expected. The BrightDrop vans were pricey, starting at $67,925 for the smaller 400 model and $69,425 for the larger 600. A new Extended Range battery pack was added for 2026, but only a short run of 2026 models was assembled before the van was canned. In August 2025, Hyundai and GM announced plans to team up on a new electric van for North America, which will be built in the U.S. in 2028.

Dodge made its iconic muscle-car nameplate electric for 2025 with the Charger Daytona coupe, but for 2026, it trimmed the lineup to just one trim. The 496-hp R/T model was discontinued after 2025, leaving just the 670-hp Scat Pack. Dodge’s official statement is that production of the R/T is “postponed” as the company works “to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies.” The Charger Daytona is assembled in Windsor, Ontario. In addition, a report in October 2025 claimed that Dodge had canceled development of a high-performance electric Charger that was expected to be called the Banshee and could have had around 1000 horsepower.

After a brief run, Genesis discontinued the Electrified G80 in the United States in August 2025. The mid-size luxury sedan looked virtually identical to its gas-powered sibling, but swapped a twin-turbo V-6 engine for a pair of electric motors and an 87-kWh battery that was good for an EPA-estimated 282 miles of range. The Electrified G80 never found much success in the U.S., peaking at 1329 sales in its first year of availability in 2023, and Genesis said the decision was made “as we adapt to ever-changing consumer needs and market conditions.”

Honda showed prototypes of two vehicles based on its new 0-Series platform at CES 2025, the 0-Series SUV and a radically styled 0-Series Saloon. But in March 2026, Honda said it was ending development of all three EVs that it had planned to build at its facilities in Ohio, less than a year before the 0-Series vehicles were supposed to go on sale. The 0-Series platform was supposed to spawn a new lineup of EVs and usher in a new operating system called ASIMO OS.

Hyundai revealed a refreshed version of the Ioniq 6 for its home country of South Korea and was originally slated to bring the updated sedan to the U.S. But in March 2026, Hyundai announced that the Ioniq 6 was being discontinued following the 2025 model year. There is one caveat: Hyundai plans to bring the high-performance Ioniq 6 N, which wears the newer, sleeker bodywork, to the U.S. in limited quantities in 2026. Hyundai sold 10,478 units of the Ioniq 6 in 2025, down from 12,264 the year before.

The unusually styled Kia EV4 sedan was originally set to go on sale in the United States in the first quarter of 2026. Prices were expected to start below $40,000, with a range of up to 330 miles for the Wind trim with the larger battery. The base Light trim would have employed a smaller battery for a 235-mile range. But in October 2025, Kia officially confirmed that the EV4’s arrival in the United States was delayed indefinitely, due to changing market conditions. It now seems unlikely that the EV4 will ever be sold in the U.S.

Kia had originally planned to supplement its high-performance EV6 GT—a cousin to the Ioniq 5 N that won Car and Driver’s EV of the Year award—with an EV9 GT, upgrading its three-row SUV with 501 hp and improved brakes, tires, and suspension. But Kia announced in November 2025 that the EV9 GT was delayed indefinitely, and in March 2026, said the EV6 GT was also being discontinued until further notice.

Lamborghini showed off a pointy concept car called the Lanzador in 2023, with a SUV-like ride height but a sloping, coupe-like roofline. The Lanzador was supposed to be Lamborghini’s first EV and was scheduled to arrive in 2029, but in February 2026, the automaker said that the EV had been scrapped and that the Lanzador would instead arrive with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Lamborghini also canceled plans for an electric second-generation Urus, with the SUV also destined to use a PHEV setup when the overhauled model arrives at the end of the decade.

Nissan launched the slick Ariya EV for the 2023 model year, but after just three years, the Japanese automaker halted production of the SUV for the U.S. While the official word used was “pause,” there are no public plans to reintroduce the Ariya to Nissan’s U.S. lineup. The Ariya was offered with a 238-hp front-wheel-drive base model and a pair of all-wheel-drive trims, with either 335 or 338 hp. The single-motor model provided up to 304 miles of range, while the dual-motor powertrain could travel up to 272 miles on a charge.

Ram unveiled an electric full-size truck in 2023, aiming to battle the Chevy Silverado EV and Ford F-150 Lightning. But after several delays, Ram officially canceled plans for an electric truck in September 2025, citing slowing demand for EVs in North America. While the electric truck was originally set to wear the name 1500 REV, Ram said the REV moniker will now adorn the upcoming plug-in hybrid Ram 1500 truck, which was originally called Ramcharger.

Volkswagen unveiled an electric sedan in 2023 that would seemingly serve as an indirect successor to the Passat, but in January 2025, Volkswagen announced it was scrapping plans to bring the ID.7 to the U.S. market. The ID.7 had been set to arrive initially with a 282-hp single-motor rear-wheel-drive model, with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive version due later. The ID.7 is currently offered for sale in Europe.

After just two model years, Volvo discontinued the EX30 in the United States. The EX30 was Volvo’s most affordable EV, starting at $40,345, with an off-road-ready Cross Country variant added for 2026. Only 5409 units of the EX30 found homes in 2025.
