GM's New LMR Battery Could Change the Game: Is It Ready to Lead?
- General Motors announced plans to commercialize lithium manganese-rich battery cells for full-size electric trucks and SUVs by 2028.
- GM developed this LMR technology jointly with LG Energy Solution to reduce costly nickel and cobalt by substituting more affordable manganese.
- LMR cells provide a energy density that is one-third greater than that of lithium iron phosphate batteries, targeting a driving range exceeding 400 miles and helping to reduce the overall cost of battery packs.
- GM expects to start pre-production in late 2027 at its Battery Cell Development Center and LG’s facility, with mass production planned at Ultium Cells plants in 2028.
- While GM could lead the LMR battery market and improve EV affordability, uncertainty remains whether the technology will meet its performance and cost goals.

GM bets on LMR prismatic battery cells to boost EV range and cut costs
General Motors and LG Energy Solution have announced plans to put lithium manganese-rich (LMR) prismatic battery cells into production. The cells will be used in future full-sized trucks and SUVs as part of GM's Ultium platform.Continue ReadingCategory: Automotive, TransportTags: Batteries, Battery Electric Vehicles, GM, General Motors, LG, Electric Vehicles
The batteries of electric cars are one of the main aspects in which the industry works to ensure that zero-emission models are standardized and increase their popularity and acceptance. Each manufacturer develops the technology in the line it considers appropriate, but General Motors has wanted to follow its own path and, together with LG Energy Solution, is shaping the first MRL batteries for the automotive world. Its name responds to "lithium-…
