Arizona is on the short list for a potential facility for yet another electric vehicle manufacturer.
ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (Nasdaq: SOLO), a Canadian designer and manufacturer of a three-wheeled personal electric vehicle called Solo, has narrowed down its potential U.S. assembly facility locations to Arizona, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company hired BDO USA’s Site Selection and Business Incentives Practice to narrow down the choice of potential locations, which were chosen based on their availability of labor, business-friendly climate and reputations for aiding businesses by streamlining approvals and incentivizing business development, Tom Stringer, leader for BDO’s practice, said.
