- Republican decision to kill electric vehicle incentives and end automaker fuel economy and CO2 emission requirements has hurt the US EV market.
- EV sales have dropped, and major new EV production investments have been dropped, leading to EV models being pulled from the market.
- Volvo's US dealers have been notified that the EX30 has been cancelled.
- Ford's F‑150 Lightning is being pulled from the US market, along with Hyundai's IONIQ 6.
- Honda decided to kill three EV models it hadn't even started producing.
- 100% tariffs on EVs built in China caused the EX30's high price, with a starting price around $50,000 initially and $40,000 later.
- Volvo Cars continues to plan selling larger electric models EX60 and EX90 in the US.
Why it matters: Automakers lose a key entry‑level EV (the EX30) and its $40‑$50k price point disappears from US shelves, while consumers miss out on affordable electric options; the market now leans toward higher‑priced, larger EVs that Volvo still plans to sell in the near term.
