- 1GM turns to new LMR batteries in its EV push●GM re-winds its EV journey with new LMR batteries. https:// cleantechnica.com/2026/09/29/e v-batteries-gm-lmr-lithium-ma
General Motors is revisiting its electric vehicle strategy with lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) batteries, a chemistry being promoted as a way to extend driving range and cut costs compared with current cells. CleanTechnica frames the move as GM rewinding and reworking its EV journey, and the development is drawing attention among EV and energy storage watchers.
- 2GM and LG to spend $1 billion on prismatic battery plant▼GM and LG Energy Solution will spend 1B USD turning their Spring Hill plant into the first factory to mass-produce prism
General Motors and LG Energy Solution will invest $1 billion to convert their Spring Hill plant in Tennessee into the first factory mass-producing prismatic lithium manganese-rich battery cells. The chemistry is seen as a cheaper alternative to conventional EV batteries, and the move signals GM's push to cut electric vehicle costs while scaling domestic battery production.

Ukraine holds some of the world's largest manganese reserves, a mineral critical for batteries, while the European Union currently imports 100% of its battery-grade supply. The war has stalled production, but commentators argue that postwar reconstruction could unlock these deposits and secure Europe's supply chain for electric vehicles and energy storage.
- 4GM Unveils LMR Battery Aiming at Cheaper, More Efficient EVs▼GM’s New LMR Battery Could Make Future EVs Cheaper and More Efficient
General Motors has announced a new lithium manganese rich (LMR) battery technology that it says could make future electric vehicles cheaper and more efficient. The chemistry promises higher energy density at lower cost than current cells, and GM is positioning it as a step toward more affordable EVs. Industry watchers are weighing what the breakthrough could mean for battery competition and EV pricing.
