America's growing EV graveyard: See the electric cars axed this year
Several EV models have been pulled from automaker's lineups in 2026.
It extends a trend that stretched from September 2025.
Hyundai USA 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 second quarter of 2026, deliveries dropped 20.5%, according to Cox Automotive data.
That follows a 27% drop in first-quarter 2026 EV sales and a 36% 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, but the lineup changes aren't a wholesale retreat from EVs .
"It's a part of many legacy automakers retooling their EV strategies," Seth Goldstein, an analyst at Morningstar, told Business Insider.
