General Motors is actively researching advanced battery technologies, focusing on solid-state and sodium-ion batteries to improve electric vehicle (EV) performance while reducing costs. Their Wallace Battery Cell Innovation center in Michigan enables in-house development and testing of multiple chemistries, including seven different anode and cathode options. As EVs remain generally pricier than gas vehicles, optimizing battery cost, range, and charging capabilities is critical. GM aims to lead the industry further as it partners with LG Energy Solution to scale production, ensuring competitive advantages over rivals like Tesla.
Our R&D team at GM has actively continued to look at solid-state technologies, whether it's all-solid-state, sulfide-based, oxide-based, or ceramic.
The high-voltage battery is both the most expensive and most critical component in an electric vehicle.
Automakers and battery companies are working to reduce those costs and also improve the range, charging speeds and safety compared to traditional lithium-ion cells.
GM execs claim it can produce cells at a lower cost than its rivals.
