All EVs parked or discontinued in the US this year

You may have heard that the Honda Prologue has been officially discontinued — a decision the company confirmed to TechCrunch, removing the last all-electric car from the American automaker’s portfolio. The Prologue’s departure signals more than Honda’s EV decline. It also shows a broader decline of the electric vehicle industry from the US market (in A stark contrast to the rest of the world).

The demise of the Honda Prologue got us thinking: What other electric cars have left the US, and why?

end Federal tax credit of $7,500 It had a major impact on electric vehicle sales in the United States. But there are other reasons behind screening choices, including tariffs, changing consumer tastes, costs, company priorities, and regulatory actions. According to data published in July by Kelly Blue Book and Cox Automotive247,226 electric vehicles were sold in the second quarter, or about 5.8% of the total market. While electric vehicle sales grew between the first and second quarters of 2026, they are still down from the same period last year (and before the tax break expires in the fall of 2025).

Americans are still buying electric cars, and there are new electric cars entering the American market – the Rivian R2 is one example. There are signs of a slow recovery. Sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 were 36% lower than the same period in 2024. This gap has narrowed this year, although it is still lower than the sales figures from the previous year. For example, electric vehicle sales in the second quarter were 20.5% lower than in the same period in 2025.

Even as the recovery continues, automakers are turning off many EV modes. These are the ones who have left or are leaving. TechCrunch will periodically update the list of electric vehicles that have left or will leave the US market in 2026.

Honda entered the picture in 2022 when the two Japanese groups announced a joint venture; They showed off the Afeela brand Prototype The following year.

In the months and years that followed, there was a constant barrage of updates about Afela, which seemed to be everywhere, but nowhere. It was even featured at TechCrunch Disrupt one year ago.
