EV startup Canoo has filed for bankruptcy


Canoo, the electric vehicle startup, has announced its filing for bankruptcy after failing to secure the necessary funding over the past few months.
In a press release issued on Friday, the company stated that it would cease all operations immediately and plans to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The filing was submitted to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, which will oversee the liquidation of the company"s assets through a bankruptcy trustee.
The bankruptcy announcement follows the company"s unsuccessful attempts to secure funding from the U.S. Department of Energy"s Loan Programs Office and its failure to attract foreign investments.
Canoo established a factory in Oklahoma last year and, during its operations, signed contracts with major entities such as NASA, the U.S. military, the State of Oklahoma, the U.S. Postal Service, Walmart, and several other companies.
This announcement marks the end of the company"s journey. The company aimed to deliver innovative electric vehicles but was unable to overcome its financial challenges.
