Finding

The US EV lineup is shrinking at the incumbents and shifting to cheaper models at the startups

Ford ended the F-150 Lightning in December 2025 and moved to range-extended trucks and a Universal EV Platform for 2027; Tesla ended Model S and X production in May 2026; Chrysler and Lincoln have no battery-electric model available. GM relaunched the Chevrolet Bolt as an LFP car and sells five Cadillac EVs.

Rivian started R2 deliveries in June 2026; Slate and Scout (Volkswagen Group, Blythewood, South Carolina) are not yet available; Lucid is testing a Gravity robotaxi with Nuro for Uber. Faraday Future is in restructuring.

Robotaxi makers are listed as brands: Waymo (Alphabet) runs the Zeekr-built Ojai, Zoox belongs to Amazon, and Tesla builds the Cybercab. Chinese technology still enters through partners: Ford licenses CATL LFP cell technology for its Michigan battery plant, and Waymo's Ojai is built on Geely's SEA-M platform.

Brands are grouped by parent group; the group with the most models available comes first. Available counts canonical battery-electric passenger models available or in fleet-only series production; Tracked adds announced, shown, concept, discontinued and canceled models. Plug-in hybrids and range extenders are out of scope, so brands that sell mostly those show few models. Each brand links to its portfolio page.
