America isn't buying expensive electric trucks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Expensive electric pickups are proving a hard sell in the U.S., based on declining 2026 sales and steep discounts on these vehicles from automakers such as General Motors. While mass adoption of EVs has been slower in the U.S. than in Europe, these large pickups are moving off lots at an especially glacial rate. High prices, lower capability than gas-powered trucks, and the loss of the federal tax credit have all impacted this category. The numbers point to a broader problem for brands including

Volkswagen (VLKAF), Audi, General Motors (GM), and Renault are now handing over the development of new-generation vehicles — including software and EV platforms — to Chinese engineering teams. Some of these vehicles are intende
