A new headquarters for an electric car company is coming to Charlotte.

The Charlotte Regional Business Alliance and Gov. Josh Stein made the announcement in Uptown on Wednesday afternoon.

Stein officially announced that Scout Motors would set up its global headquarters in the Queen City. About 1,200 jobs will be brought to Charlotte with the establishment of Scout's home base in Plaza Midwood, just outside of Uptown. The governor also said many of those jobs would include corporate leadership, research and development, marketing and add nearly $5 billion to North Carolina's economy.

"This announcement is the result of a strong collaboration by company executives, state and local elected officials from both parties, and state, local, and nonprofit economic development professionals," Stein said.

Scout Motor CEO Scott Keohg says this will bring all kinds of jobs to the city.

“We need sales, we need marketing, we need software, we need AI," Keohg said. "We need engineering this place. We think we can get the talent.” #News #Money
