Calif.-founded carmaker, once worth $2.4B, goes bankrupt after moving to Texas
Briefly

Canoo, once valued at $2.4 billion, filed for liquidation bankruptcy on January 17, 2024, marking a dramatic fall for the electric vehicle maker. Despite some early deals with entities like the USPS and Walmart, the company could not translate potential into sales or secure necessary financing. Legal troubles, executive turnover, and disappointing public reception of its vehicles hindered progress. As a result, Canoo will cease operations and liquidate its assets to pay creditors, closing a chapter on its ambitious but ultimately flawed endeavor in the EV market.
Canoo's tumultuous journey culminated in liquidation bankruptcy after failing to secure funding and facing extensive operational challenges over its four-year tenure.
The company's significant debts and lack of vehicles to sell ultimately led to its abrupt end, despite initial excitement around their electric vehicle plans.
