"It was only a few years ago that automakers were announcing their plans to transition to an all-electric lineup sooner rather than later. Except for Toyota, which is sticking to its multi-pathway strategy, a lot of car companies were confident they would give up gas altogether by 2030 or by 2035. Well, that's no longer the case. During 2025, a lot of brands backtracked on their ambitious goals, with some delaying and even canceling EVs that were scheduled to debut as early as this year."
"Acura ZDX: Canceled After nearly two years on the market, Acura's first production EV has been discontinued, with the company citing market conditions for the decision. The marque's first battery-powered crossover was a joint effort between Honda and General Motors, which also spawned the Honda Prologue. Both the ZDX and the Prologue are based on the same underpinnings as the Cadillac Lyriq and Chevrolet Blazer EV."
Automakers widely scaled back electric vehicle plans in 2025 after earlier commitments to fully electric lineups by 2030 or 2035. Toyota maintained a multi-pathway strategy while many other brands delayed or canceled U.S. EV introductions. Acura discontinued the ZDX after nearly two years, citing market conditions; the ZDX shared hardware with the Honda Prologue, Cadillac Lyriq and Chevrolet Blazer EV, while the smaller RSX remains scheduled for late 2026. Dodge postponed the entry-level Charger Daytona R/T to 2026 due to high pricing, modest performance and increased tariffs on Canadian-built cars. Reports indicate the high-performance Charger Banshee was canceled.
