The Nation's Hub for Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Arizona is fast becoming known as the U.S. hub for electric vehicle manufacturing with companies such as Lucid, ElectraMeccanica, Nikola, and Atlis having or building major manufacturing operations in the Phoenix-Mesa metro area.
“Arizona is a magnet for auto innovation. We’ve had three EV groundbreakings in the last 16 months, which is incredible. Companies testing their cars at proving grounds in the state include GM, Ford, Toyota, VW, Chrysler, and Nissan. Arizona is also the epicenter of automated driving. Waymo, Cruise, TuSimple, Embark, Intel, and more all have operations here. We hope to continue this momentum.”

LARGE ELECTRIC VEHICLE INDUSTRY CLUSTER
Arizona is already developing a strong electric vehicle industry cluster with headquarters, R&D, manufacturing, and significant supply-chain players already in the marketplace.
Mesa offered the best proposal at the end – best land for us, best overall site, best workforce options for us. Then you couple that with the fact that the logistics of being very close to our target market, it made it really appealing . . . [There is] a tier one supply base here, there are engineering firms that are coming here already and that is really appealing to us because there is a talent base that is already starting to come here.
