Stellantis risks being overtaken by its Chinese partner, Leapmotor, following a joint venture that grants Stellantis exclusive rights to build and sell Leapmotor's electric vehicles outside China. Leapmotor's sales are projected to rise significantly, with expectations of reaching 150,000 exports in 2026 and a target of 4 million cars sold by 2030. While Stellantis faces a $27 billion writedown and anticipates a net loss for 2025, Leapmotor is on track for its first annual profit. This divergence highlights the competitive landscape in the EV market, prompting other automakers to reconsider their partnerships with Chinese firms.

New electric vehicle (EV) prices in the USA have dropped by 2.3% over the last four months, averaging $61,860, while gas car prices rose by 2.5%. The decline in EV prices is attributed to the removal of the $7,500 tax credit, with lower-cost models seeing the largest reductions. Notable price drops include the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (over $7,000) and Chevrolet Equinox EV (nearly $4,000). Premium models, however, have experienced price increases, indicating a shift in market dynamics.

- iSeeCars analyzed used EV prices and new car prices, revealing a 2.3% drop in new electric vehicle prices and a 2.5% increase in new gas car prices from September 2025 to January 2026.  
- The average price of electric vehicles fell from $63,327 to $61,860, while gas cars rose from $46,290 to $47,427, likely due to the absence of the $7,500 US EV tax credit.  
- Significant price drops were noted for models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Chevrolet Equinox EV, indicating good deals in the current electric vehicle market.
