OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma-made electric vehicles are now on local roads.

Last week, the state received the first three made at the company's Oklahoma City plant near Interstate 40 and South Morgan Road. Three brand new Canoo vehicles are going to the state, including the Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services, the Department of Corrections, and the Department of Transportation.

"This is the first EV that is for ODOT and I believe it's one of the first three that came off the line for Canoo’s here for the state," said Jared Schwennesen with ODOT.

Schwennesen said they plan to use their Canoo vehicle to essentially tour across the state to build excitement for the $66 million in federal money the state will soon doll out to invest in electric vehicle infrastructure, such as charging stations.
