The startup, founded in 2017 and focusing on electric commercial vehicles, has run out of money, ceasing operations and beginning plans to liquidate its assets.

Not long after moving its headquarters from California to Texas, EV startup Canoo is sinking. The 7-year-old company making pod-shaped electric vehicles announced late last week that it filed for bankruptcy and ceased operations.

The company had been in talks for the same kind of loan from the Biden administration that Rivian was just awarded, only to be denied at the last moment.
