RBW EV Car officials say they've chosen to open the company's first U.S. factory in Danville because of its community warmth and historical ties to luxury car production. RBW plans to hire locally and use local suppliers, with a goal of employing between 45 and 50 people in the first year of production, according to The Cardinal News. The facility will also assemble electric vehicle system units for Spirit EV, another company under the RBW umbrella. The company aims to expand its U.S. initiatives by integrating its systems into American cars like the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro.
