North Texas was “definitely in the race” in the multistate competition for the new assembly plant, but Texas energy infrastructure issues and other factors led the company to choose Oklahoma, chairman and CEO Tony Aquila told The Dallas Morning News.
The announcement was made at Canoo’s first-ever investor day at Texas Motor Speedway, and it came with residents of the state on high alert for potential power blackouts.
The state of Oklahoma and Canoo agreed to an incentive package worth as much as $400 million if the company meets staffing and wage goals
Referred to by Canoo as a “mega-factory,” the assembly plant is expected to support 2,000 high-paying jobs and is to be complete by 2023.
