The company aimed to cater to various segments, including lifestyle vehicles and commercial applications. However, it filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in January 2025, ceasing operations and significantly disrupting its market presence. Years prior, Canoo's brand was often associated with the wider transition to EVs and sustainability, but the operational status of the company is now defunct.
