What's Going On With EV-Maker Canoo Stock?

Canoo Inc. GOEV shares traded higher Thursday on continued upward momentum after the U.S. Department of Commerce approved its Oklahoma City facility as a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) on Monday.

What To Know:

The FTZ approval is anticipated to enhance Canoo’s strategy of manufacturing electric vehicles in America, improve unit profitability, and expedite the path to achieving breakeven.

At present, the Oklahoma City facility employs over 100 individuals and is projected to create up to 1,100 manufacturing positions at full capacity.

The FTZ designation eliminates customs duties on vehicles sold internationally and deferring customs duties on imported parts used in vehicles sold domestically. 

“We are committed to expanding our 125-acre manufacturing site as a preferred location to bring more of our supply partners closer to us in the state. This strategic expansion is in the heartland of America, directly on I-40 in Oklahoma City, one of the most important and efficient routes for transporting products across the country,” said Tony Aquila, CEO of Canoo. 

Canoo's stock is up nearly 200% since the announcement on Monday.
