General Motors announced it will be the first automaker to adopt lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) batteries in their trucks and SUVs starting in 2028. This transition signifies a departure from conventional nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) and lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries, facilitating the coexistence of various battery types. The prismatic design of LMR cells promises better space optimization and simpler integration into packs, enhancing performance while using more abundant and less costly materials. This innovative approach may lead to reduced production costs and increased efficiency in GMâs electric vehicles.
GM's move to lithium-manganese-rich batteries marks a significant shift in battery chemistry, offering a blend of cost efficiency and performance for its EVs by 2028.
The new prismatic LMR batteries allow for a modular design that optimizes space within battery packs, simplifying integration and reducing overall costs for GM.
