General Motors is collaborating with LG to develop lithium manganese-rich (LMR) battery technology for its upcoming electric trucks and SUVs. This innovative battery chemistry promises to enhance safety, increase energy density, and lower costs compared to current nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) batteries. GM aims to be the first automaker to utilize LMR batteries commercially in the US by 2028, ahead of competitors like Ford. The LMR cells use more abundant manganese to replace costly cobalt, ultimately offering up to 400 miles of range due to their prismatic design, which allows for greater space efficiency.
We're working with LG to develop lithium manganese-rich prismatic cells for electric trucks and SUVs, aiming for commercial production by 2028.
The new LMR batteries are denser and more efficient, enabling up to 400 miles of range while reducing reliance on expensive cobalt.
