All the EVs that were discontinued or killed off in the U.S. this year

All the EVs that were discontinued or killed off in the U.S. this year

今年在美国停产或被砍掉的所有电动汽车

The Honda Prologue, you may have heard, is officially dead — a decision the company confirmed to TechCrunch, removing the last all-electric vehicle from the automaker’s U.S. portfolio. The Prologue’s departure signals more than Honda’s EV backpedaling. It also illustrates a broader EV industry retreat from the U.S. market (in stark contrast to the rest of the world). 你可能已经听说,本田 Prologue 已正式“死亡”——该公司向 TechCrunch 证实了这一决定,这也意味着本田在美国的产品阵容中不再有纯电动车型。Prologue 的离场不仅标志着本田在电动汽车战略上的退缩,也反映了整个电动汽车行业正在从美国市场撤退(这与世界其他地区形成了鲜明对比)。

The demise of the Honda Prologue got us thinking: What other EVs have left the U.S., and why? The end of the $7,500 federal tax credit had an outsized effect on EV sales in the United States. But there are other reasons behind the winnowing choices, including tariffs, changing consumer tastes, costs, company priorities, and regulatory action. 本田 Prologue 的终结引发了我们的思考:还有哪些电动汽车离开了美国市场?原因何在?7,500 美元联邦税收抵免政策的终止对美国电动汽车销量产生了巨大影响。但导致车型选择减少的原因还有很多,包括关税、消费者口味的变化、成本、公司战略重点以及监管措施等。

According to data published in July by Kelley Blue Book and Cox Automotive, 247,226 EVs were sold in the second quarter or about 5.8% of the total market. While EV sales grew between the first and second quarters of 2026, they are still down from the same period last year (and before that tax credit ended in fall 2025). Still Americans are still buying EVs, and there are new EVs entering the U.S. market — the Rivian R2 is one example. 根据凯利蓝皮书(Kelley Blue Book)和考克斯汽车(Cox Automotive)7 月发布的数据,第二季度电动汽车销量为 247,226 辆,约占市场总份额的 5.8%。尽管 2026 年第一季度到第二季度电动汽车销量有所增长,但仍低于去年同期(即 2025 年秋季税收抵免政策结束前)的水平。不过,美国人仍在购买电动汽车,也有新的电动汽车进入美国市场——Rivian R2 就是一个例子。

And there are signs of a slow recovery. Fourth quarter 2025 sales were 36% lower than the same period in 2024. This year that gap has narrowed, albeit still below sales figures from the previous year. For example, EV sales in Q2 were 20.5% lower than the same period in 2025. Even with a recovery underway, automakers are pulling the plug on many EV modes. Here are those ones that have left or are leaving. TechCrunch will periodically update this list of EVs that have left, or are leaving, the U.S. market in 2026. 目前已有缓慢复苏的迹象。2025 年第四季度的销量比 2024 年同期下降了 36%。今年这一差距有所缩小,尽管仍低于去年的销售数据。例如,第二季度的电动汽车销量比 2025 年同期下降了 20.5%。即使复苏正在进行,汽车制造商仍在砍掉许多电动车型。以下是那些已经或正在离开市场的车型。TechCrunch 将定期更新这份 2026 年离开或即将离开美国市场的电动汽车名单。

Afeela

Afeela

Ah, Afeela we never even knew ya. The Afeela got its start as the Vision S, a prototype announced by Sony in 2020 at the Consumer Electronics and that ended up being one of the big, surprising reveals of the annual tech trade show. Honda entered the picture in 2022 when the two Japanese conglomerates announced a joint venture; they showed off an Afeela-branded prototype the following year. In the months and years that followed, there was constant barrage of updates about the Afeela, which seemed to be everywhere, and yet nowhere. It was even displayed at TechCrunch Disrupt one year. The Afeela, despite the marketing blitz, never made it into production. In March 2026, the joint venture gave up on the two Afeela-branded EVs. The move followed Honda’s decision, announced just a two weeks before, to cancel three EVs planned for the U.S. market. 唉,Afeela,我们甚至还没来得及认识你。Afeela 最初是索尼在 2020 年消费电子展(CES)上发布的 Vision S 原型车,它最终成为了该年度科技展会上最令人惊喜的发布之一。2022 年,本田加入其中,两家日本巨头宣布成立合资企业;次年,他们展示了 Afeela 品牌的原型车。在随后的岁月里,关于 Afeela 的更新层出不穷,它似乎无处不在,却又无处可寻。它甚至有一年还在 TechCrunch Disrupt 大会上展出过。尽管营销攻势猛烈,Afeela 最终还是没能投入生产。2026 年 3 月,该合资企业放弃了这两款 Afeela 品牌的电动汽车。此举紧随本田两周前宣布取消三款计划在美国市场推出的电动汽车的决定之后。

Honda (and Acura!)

本田(及讴歌!)

It was just a couple of years ago that Honda declared its EV ambitions with its O Series, including a mid-sized SUV prototype that debuted at the CES 2025 tech trade show and its futuristic Saloon and Space-Hub concepts the year before. The SUV, which was slated for production at Honda’s “EV Hub” factory in Ohio, was supposed to debut in North America in the first half of 2026. Honda stopped development of the Acura RDX, Honda O sedan and SUV in March 2026 as part of a major overhaul of the company’s EV plans. The company blamed U.S. tariffs and Chinese competition for the decision. There was also chatter at the time that Honda was planning to stop production of the Prologue, but there was no official announcement until July 16 when CarBuzz was the first to report that the Prologue program was ending. TechCrunch confirmed with Honda that the Prologue was going out of production. 就在几年前,本田还通过其 O 系列宣布了其电动汽车雄心,包括在 2025 年 CES 科技展上首次亮相的中型 SUV 原型车,以及前一年推出的未来感十足的 Saloon 和 Space-Hub 概念车。这款原定于本田俄亥俄州“EV Hub”工厂生产的 SUV,本应于 2026 年上半年在北美首次亮相。作为公司电动汽车计划重大调整的一部分,本田于 2026 年 3 月停止了讴歌 RDX、本田 O 系列轿车和 SUV 的开发。该公司将此决定归咎于美国关税和中国竞争。当时还有传言称本田计划停止 Prologue 的生产,但直到 7 月 16 日 CarBuzz 首次报道 Prologue 项目即将结束时,官方才发布公告。TechCrunch 向本田证实,Prologue 确实即将停产。

The death of the Series 0 is difficult to measure since it never went into production. The Prologue represented more grounded goals than the O Series, and one that actually went into production and sold to U.S. consumers. The Prologue was a product of a partnership with General Motors — it is built at GM’s Ramos Assembly Plant in Mexico — and closely related to the Chevrolet Blazer EV. And it did OK for awhile, selling roughly 33,000 units in 2024 and 39,000 in 2025, before the tax credit ended and sales went into a free fall. Series 0 的“死亡”很难衡量,因为它从未投入生产。与 O 系列相比,Prologue 代表了更务实的目标,并且确实投入了生产并销售给了美国消费者。Prologue 是与通用汽车合作的产物——它在通用汽车位于墨西哥的拉莫斯(Ramos)组装厂生产——并与雪佛兰 Blazer EV 密切相关。它曾有一段时间表现尚可,2024 年售出约 33,000 辆,2025 年售出 39,000 辆,但在税收抵免政策结束后,销量便陷入了自由落体式下滑。

Hyundai

现代

The Korean automaker has actually done quite well selling EVs to Americans. But it has made a few changes based on changing economics. In March, the company said it would no longer sell the Hyundai Ioniq 6 in the U.S., a decision that was likely tied to tariffs. The Ioniq 6 is made in South Korean and imported to the U.S., while its Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9 models are assembled at its Georgia factory. The company has said it will continue to import its more expensive, lower volume N-model of the Ioniq 6. 这家韩国汽车制造商在向美国人销售电动汽车方面其实做得相当不错。但基于经济形势的变化,它做出了一些调整。3 月份,该公司表示将不再在美国销售现代 Ioniq 6,这一决定很可能与关税有关。Ioniq 6 在韩国制造并进口到美国,而其 Ioniq 5 和 Ioniq 9 车型则在其佐治亚州工厂组装。该公司表示,将继续进口其价格更高、销量更低的 Ioniq 6 N 车型。

Nissan

日产

Nissan decided last year it would not produce a 2026 model year of its all-electric Ariya SUV for the U.S. market. And it doesn’t appear to be returning. Nissan first unveiled the Ariya in 2020 and planned to start selling it in Japan the following year. The Ariya was the first all-electric to come out of Nissan since the early EV pioneer introduced the Leaf hatchback a decade ago. 日产去年决定,不会为美国市场生产 2026 款纯电动 Ariya SUV。而且它似乎不会再回归了。日产于 2020 年首次发布了 Ariya,并计划于次年在日本开始销售。Ariya 是自这家早期电动汽车先驱十年前推出 Leaf 两厢车以来,日产推出的首款纯电动汽车。

Polestar

极星 (Polestar)

Swedish EV maker Polestar, owned by Chinese automotive giant Geely, has been forced to leave U.S. over the country’s ban on Chinese-connected vehicle technology. Polestar needed specific authorization from the U.S. Department of Commerce to continue importing and selling its vehicles in the United States. Without it, Polestar has been effectively banned from the United States. The company said it would continue selling its existing stock of Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 vehicles in the U.S., and that it will “continue to support customers, including providing access to its service network.” The Polestar 3 was assembled at a factory in South Carolina and in Chengdu, China. Volvo Cars, Polestar’s sibling company that is also owned by Geely, did receive the authorization. 瑞典电动汽车制造商极星(Polestar,由中国汽车巨头吉利拥有)因美国对中国相关车辆技术的禁令而被迫离开美国。极星需要获得美国商务部的特别授权,才能继续在美国进口和销售其车辆。如果没有该授权,极星实际上已被禁止进入美国市场。该公司表示,将继续在美国销售现有的 Polestar 3 和 Polestar 4 库存车辆,并将“继续为客户提供支持,包括提供其服务网络的使用权”。Polestar 3 在南卡罗来纳州和中国成都的工厂组装。同样由吉利拥有的极星姊妹公司沃尔沃汽车(Volvo Cars)确实获得了该授权。
