Wall Street is charging up as electric vehicle maker Canoo (NASDAQ:GOEV) starts trading today. After closing out the Canoo SPAC merger, what do you need to know about GOEV stock?
To start, investors should remember that Canoo has been trading through a blank-check company. Up until today, GOEV stock was HCAC stock, part of Hennessy Capital. However, after shareholders voted to approve the Canoo SPAC merger, the red-hot company got its own wings and started independently trading.
With that in mind, here are 14 things to know about GOEV stock and the Canoo SPAC merger:

- Then, HCAC stock made waves by announcing the Canoo SPAC merger in August 2020.
- Since then, HCAC stock and now GOEV stock have generated quite a buzz.

- Importantly, the company relies on a modular skateboard platform for its vehicle development. Company executives have likened its passenger vehicle to a spaceship on wheels.
