US EditionGM’s New Battery Will Cut The Cost Of Its Electric Trucks By Over $6,000
- General Motors announced a lithium-manganese-rich battery expected to cut electric truck battery pack costs by over $6,000 starting in 2028 in the U.S.
- GM developed LMR technology over a decade to reduce reliance on costly cobalt and nickel, addressing supply chain and cost challenges in EV batteries.
- The new prismatic LMR cells will have 33% higher energy density, use 60-70% manganese, and allow battery packs with over 50% fewer parts for improved efficiency.
- Kurt Kelty, GM’s VP of battery propulsion, highlighted that the LMR technology enables their vehicles to achieve a driving range exceeding 400 miles while also lowering battery expenses.
- GM anticipates that its LMR batteries, produced through the collaborative Ultium Cells partnership with LG Energy Solution, will reduce EV adoption challenges by lowering costs, extending driving range, and increasing domestic manufacturing.
