Canoo created 100 jobs in Oklahoma to scale EV manufacturing

Canoo announced the company has created over 100 new jobs in the state of Oklahoma and achieved a key hiring milestone. The state is now home to 20% of Canoo’s total workforce. As Canoo scales manufacturing to make additional customer deliveries in 2024, the company is continuing to build the team of skilled workers at both its Oklahoma City vehicle manufacturing facility and also at its battery module assembly facility in Pryor. This announcement follows Canoo’s recent acquisition of manufacturing assets to increase its vehicle assembly capacity. The company is growing its team across Oklahoma to scale manufacturing and meet customer deliveries of 18,000 committed orders representing $750M in revenue over multiple years. Oklahomans make up over 90% of the Canoo team in Oklahoma, and military veterans and Native Americans each make up about 10% of Canoo’s workforce in the state. Canoo’s Oklahoma City manufacturing workforce is earning annual wages about 37% above the local average for similar roles in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. With about 30 open positions in the state, the company is continuing to build its workforce with the help and support of partners, including Express Employment Professionals, Canadian Valley Technology Center, Atlas School, Oklahoma Department of Commerce, Cherokee Nation, and Pawnee Nation.
