This year it seems like we can't go a single week without hearing about another EV being canceled for America. Between the lower demand for EVs at the moment due to last year's buying rush before tax credits expired, tariffs, and strong competitors, selling EVs right now isn't for the faint of heart. This could already be turning around though, as gas prices head for the moon and early indications suggest EV interest is spiking again. This sudden turn of events perfectly illustrates why continued electrification and energy independence is important.Regardless, this year we've already seen several companies that have admitted that they don't have faith in their products, the market, or simply don't have the stomach for the current volatility in the American auto industry and would rather bow out. Not only is this short-sighted, but it puts them in terrible positions for the future, and hands a win to their competitors.But for some companies, this is no time to take risks, and they'd rather play it safe with the greatest hits instead. As a result, it's only March, and we already have eight EVs that have been canceled for the 2027 model year. Let's go through them.For this list, we're strictly only highlighting vehicles that have been officially confirmed to be canceled (either existing or planned vehicles), and only those that were supposed to come for the 2027 model year. There were also many that were canceled for the 2026 model year, and we've already covered those here. Acura RSX Acura RSX Prototype_Passenger FrontThe cancellation of the new Acura RSX was one of the biggest shocks on this list. It was only a few months away from starting production, which means this one was basically fully developed and Acura still decided it was better to pull the plug and write-off the billionsof dollars in sunk costs instead. When this was announced, Honda basically handed themselves the loss, saying, "In such a difficult competitive environment, Honda was unable to deliver products that offer value for money better than that of newer EV manufacturers, resulting in a decline in competitiveness." Sounds like somebody needs a pep talk.It's made even worse by the fact that they can't keep the RDX around due to suppliers being unable to continue making parts for production, and a new RDX isn't due until at least 2028, leaving Acura without a vehicle in this most popular segment. Acura dealers, in the meantime, will have to survive with just three products, Integra, MDX and ADX, and only the latter is even fresh.How it ever got to this point for Acura is hard to imagine, but surely even an uncompetitive product that's already been paid for would at least be better than having nothing at all to offer compact luxury SUV shoppers turning in their RDX and ZDX leases, especially for the Acura loyalists. And come on, they offered a restyled Blazer EV as an Acura. There's no way an in-house effort would have been worse. Honda 0 Series SUV Honda 0 Series SUVThe second vehicle in the three-car culling from Honda was the 0 Series SUV. This one was also very far along, with production poised to begin by the end of this year, and production-looking prototypes even being paraded around last year with Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda behind the wheel. The whole plan was for this to take over once the Prologue's planned sunset happens, to transition those Honda EV owners into something finally produced in-house once their leases were up.Now, Honda dealers will have to talk Prologue drivers into going back to a hybrid, telling them to forget about their fuel savings, lack of oil changes and other servicing, or to go buy from a competitor instead because Honda has nothing for them anymore. Again, we all understand there are headwinds here, but is the best alternative to just have nothing at all? Apparently so, in Honda's mind. Honda 0 Series Saloon Honda 0 Series SaloonThe last casualty from Honda's cut bait and run is the 0 Series Saloon. This one was a bit more aspirational since sedans are less popular, but who better to tackle an electric sedan than the company that makes one of the bestselling and legendary sedans of all time, the Accord?Sure, the styling was pretty bold, but if it was priced right and done well enough, it could have easily scooped up not only Accord drivers that were ready to go electric, but also Acura TLX drivers that can't buy a new one due to that getting discontinued last year, too. This one was also the furthest out, planned to start production sometime in 2027, so out of all three, this one is the most understandable and probably hurts the company the least. Tesla Model S 2026 Tesla Model SMoving on to Tesla, we have another company that seems eager to hand over sales to their competitors. While the discontinuation of this generation of the Model S is certainly understandable due to it being almost 14 years old, Tesla having zero interest in making a new generation to retain those customers and having many of them go buy Lucids, BMWs and others instead, is certainly an odd choice.This one also seems like an abrupt, originally unplanned cancellation because the Model S just got another refresh for the 2026 model year. Why bother if they had always planned to nix it this year? Even Elon admits this discontinuation is sad. The Model S was one of the first successful EVs, and it had some great evolutions over its long lifespan, including the crazy Plaid version. It'll be missed by many. Tesla Model X 2025 Tesla Model X front, falcon doors openIt's the same story for the Model X. It, too, got a refresh just last year and there's no successor on the cards for it either, with the factory these were built in being repurposed to build the Optimus robots that Tesla believes is the next frontier.The Model X deserves a lot of credit, though, for helping Tesla to get to where it is today, with it finally offering Tesla fans an SUV for the first time way back in 2015, when Elon stunned us all by actually pulling off those Falcon doors he promised.It was also the first three-row electric SUV, years before Rivian and others came onto the scene. It's another one that'll certainly be missed by many. Hyundai Ioniq 6 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Red Front Angled ViewThe discontinuation of the Ioniq 6 for America isn't too surprising, sadly. The car is already on sale in Korea and will continue to be offered there, along with Canada and other markets. It just isn't coming to America, likely due to a combination of tariffs and low EV demand. Of the remaining Hyundai EVs, the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9, are built in Georgia while the Ioniq 6 is still built in South Korea. Combined with the 6 never selling even close to the same units as the 5, and the headwinds for EVs here in general, canceling the 6 is an unfortunate no-brainer if tariffs wrecked the profit margin.To Hyundai's credit, they're still sending us the new N version in "limited quantities", likely because it's easier to inflate its price to compensate for the tariffs. The Ioniq 6 was a great car though, with lots of space (especially considering its fairly small size), impressive aerodynamics for maximum efficiency, and good driving dynamics. It's another one we'll miss. Kia Niro EV 2025 Kia Niro EV - front 3/4 angle After Kia announced earlier this year that the plug-in hybrid Niro wouldn't even get a 2026 model year, we now have word that the EV version won't make it to the 2027 refresh either. This one was always overshadowed by the faster charging, more powerful and more exciting other EVs from Kia, and it wasn't much cheaper to make up for it.As a result, this one's cancellation could be blamed on the good, old-fashioned reason of poor sales, in addition to the unique EV sales challenges. But it's clear that Kia is scaling back their EV ambitions, too, with the Korean-built EV4 getting canceled for the US last year before it even arrived, and the sportier GT trims of the EV9 and EV6 no longer happening, either. Volvo EX30 and EX30 Cross Country volvo ex30 front quarter blueLastly, we have the Volvo EX30. This is another one that the rest of the world will continue to enjoy, including Canada and Mexico, but it'll be forbidden fruit unless you're one of the few that snagged one in the 11 months since they finally went on sale here. The Cross Country version only went on sale in January and ordering ends this month, which will make that one possibly one of the rarest Volvos ever in the US. While it was far from perfect, with its tighter backseat than a Golf GTI and its single-screen-to-do-it-all approach, it was a little rocketship with its dual-motor version having 422 hp and its small dimensions and low center of gravity giving it great handling.This one's departure seems oddly timed since it seems to be mostly due to the tariffs enacted last year, but with such slim margins on entry-level models, it seems that Volvo didn't think it was worth keeping around in America, sadly. Maybe all of these companies will reverse these decisions if gas remains elevated and EV sales soar again. We'll see.Sources: Acura, Honda, Tesla, Hyundai, Kia, Volvo
