From $91B to $2.3B: The Catastrophic Collapse of America's EV Industry
A Yahoo Finance analysis details the severe downturn in the U.S. electric vehicle industry as of mid-2026. Lucid's market cap has collapsed from $91 billion to $2.87 billion, with $3.8 billion in negative free cash flow against $1.35 billion in 2025 revenue, sustained only by Saudi Arabian funding. Rivian fell from a $150 billion peak to roughly $25 billion, with cash reserves halved to $2.85 billion, relying on Volkswagen, Uber, and a DOE loan. Legacy automakers also suffered: Stellantis posted a $22.33 billion net loss for FY2025, and Ford recorded $10.7 billion in EV-related impairments. Tesla remains dominant with a $1.4 trillion market cap but saw Q4 2025 deliveries fall 16%. The article concludes that pure-play EV startups face existential risk and may not achieve cash flow positivity before 2030.
