GM and LG to Launch Advanced EV Batteries by 2028

May 13, 2025

General Motors (GM) is collaborating with LG to create lithium manganese-rich (LMR) batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), targeting US production by 2028.
LMR batteries promise enhanced safety, energy density, and cost-effectiveness, potentially delivering up to 400 miles of range.
Ultium Cells, GM's joint venture, will initiate preproduction in late 2027.
This transition aims to lower EV costs, which currently account for 30-40% of vehicle prices.
GM acknowledges challenges like capacity loss and thermal stability but remains optimistic about solutions.
