Lucid Group has announced the opening of its new Advanced Manufacturing Plant (AMP-1) and Lucid Powertrain Manufacturing plants in Arizona at the US startup’s Production Preview Week.
The electric vehicle manufacturer confirmed that it has completed the construction of the AMP-1 factory, located at a 590-acre (240 hectare) site in Casa Grande, Arizona, in under a year. It is the first vehicle production facility in Arizona.
The AMP-1 is also the first greenfield, dedicated electric vehicle factory to be built in North America and a massive expansion of the facility is already in the works. Tesla’s Fremont, California factory was originally a General Motors and Toyota plant.
