GM says new battery chemistry will enable 400-mile range EVs | The automaker is pairing up with LG to develop lithium manganese-rich prismatic cells for its future electric trucks and SUVs.
Safer, more energy dense, and less costly.
As an alternative, LMR battery cells use a higher proportion of more affordable and plentiful manganese, while also delivering greater capacity and energy density. GM has prototyped approximately 300 full-size LMR cells as it worked with LG Energy Solution to crack the code on the chemistry. The final design will be validated at GM’s Battery Cell Development Center in Warren, Michigan, which opens earlier that year, as well as LG Energy Solution’s facility.
