GM, LG Energy Solution for making new low -cost battery cells for EVS in the future

GENERAL MOTORS (GM) and LG Energy Solution Place to start commercial production of low -cost cells for the future Electric cars in an American facility Beginning in 2028, companies said on Tuesday.

Cells will have a chemistry rich in manganese (LMR), which General Motors says is less expensive than nickel -rich cells used today, but will give customers the scope they want in future electric trucks and full -size four -size four -wheel drive vehicles.

The cells will also be published against the structure of the current bag, which reduces the number of parts in the battery package by more than 50 percent, according to General Motors.

Detroit Automotive, which now has 12 electric cars in the squad, is trying to reduce the battery costs to enable the cost -effectiveness through its energy -powered products by adding new types of cells and chemistry in these cells.

“We adopt a flexible chemistry to get the best balance between scope, performance and cost to bear costs,” Court Kelti, Vice President of Battery, Payment and Sustainability, said during a media conference on the ad.

“My mission here is to get the largest possible number of EVS on the road. We need to get equal price (internal combustion engine cars) and then this thing will start.”

LG Energy Solution is a South Korean battery company that also participates with Stelantis at the EV Massive Nextstar Ev battery in Windsor, Oanton. some Production is already underway With the assembly of batteries in groups known as the units last year. It is expected to ultimately employ 2500 people.

Despite the word on Tuesday Honda was postponing the plans For the Ontario EV factory for at least two years, the Nextstar factory still remains on the right track. However, the date of the opening of full production has not yet been determined.

LMR cells will be made for the GM attachment at one of the LG-GM-GM-Ultium Battery battery stations in Ohio and Tennessee. With the published LMR cells, General Motors expects to provide more than 640 km of range in one charge on an electric truck, while significantly reduces the battery costs.

General Motors expects to reduce the costs of the batteries package by $ 30 per kilowatt hour in 2025, but she did not say how much costs are every kilowatt.

General Motors also plans to serve vehicles with cell phosphate -based cells that are also a lower cost of nickel cells. Keelti said that General Motors will issue more information soon.

While General Motors aims to be the first automotive manufacturer to publish LMR batteries commercially in its electric cars, the CrosStown Motor competitor is also to spread technology, according to a rear blog of its electric payment managers on LinkedIn.
