Canoo Inc

I work from a principle of just doing the right thing. When you see the factory, it is spectacularly ecologically built. The factory will integrate automation and workers. Workers will be making a liveable wage of $25 an hour. I believe it is really important that people be paid well and then they will work with pride.
