A California startup will build a $700 million plant in Casa Grande to manufacture luxury electric vehicles.

The plan by Lucid Motors, being announced this afternoon, will involve hiring 2,000 workers for what would be the state’s only car manufacturing operation. The first hires will take place next year, with training for the jobs through the community and technical colleges in Pinal and Maricopa counties.

Plans are to have vehicles ready for sale by 2018.

Sonora Gov. Claudia Pavlovich Arellano was part of today’s announcement. That is because the plan involves having the parts built in Mexico and shipped to Arizona for final construction.

The 500-acre site is in an industrial area near Interstates 10 and 8. While most of the property already is within Casa Grande, some will need to be annexed.
