Delivering a New Kind of Power. Workhorse Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WKHS) is a Cincinnati-based electric vehicle manufacturer focused on commercial delivery vehicles. The W4 CC (Class 4 step van) is the primary current product, targeting last-mile delivery fleets.
Parent / Ownership: Independent public company (NASDAQ: WKHS). HQ: Cincinnati, Ohio. The company has had a difficult financial history — revenue is extremely limited (~$3.7M FY2023) and the stock has traded at fraction of its 2020 peak price.
Important note for fleet buyers: Workhorse's financial instability creates service support uncertainty. Evaluate carefully before making large fleet commitments. The W4 CC platform shows promise for urban last-mile delivery, but the company's ongoing financial challenges are a material risk for long-term parts and service availability.
W4 CC: standard commercial vehicle warranty terms. Given Workhorse's financial situation, verify warranty terms and company financial status before purchasing. Contact workhorse.com directly.
Reliability
Workhorse's production volume is extremely limited — reliable fleet performance data is insufficient for confident assessment. The W4 CC platform has shown promise in pilot deployments. The primary risk is not the vehicle itself but Workhorse's financial stability and its impact on long-term parts and service availability.

Buying Tips 2026
Proceed with caution. Workhorse's financial instability is the primary risk — evaluate the company's most recent quarterly earnings and cash position before any fleet commitment. For last-mile EV delivery, consider the Ford E-Transit and Mercedes eSprinter as more financially stable alternatives. If Workhorse appeals for your application, pilot with a small number of units before scaling, and secure parts inventory independently.
1. Verify current pricing at manufacturer website (prices change frequently). 2. Check all open NHTSA recalls at nhtsa.gov/recalls using the VIN. 3. Confirm any EV/PHEV tax credit eligibility at fueleconomy.gov/feg/taxcenter.do. 4. Get a pre-purchase inspection from an independent certified shop for used vehicles. 5. Compare Consumer Reports and J.D. Power data for your specific model year.
