Profile
General Motors is a major American automaker whose electric strategy is built around Ultium, a modular battery and drive architecture unveiled in 2020. Ultium was designed to bring standardised, scalable battery packs across GM's brands and to drive down cell cost.
GM produces its cells through Ultium Cells, a joint venture with LG Energy Solution, operating large US battery plants. Its packs use pouch cells and it is developing lower-cost chemistries, including lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) cells, alongside NMC. GM also has an energy-storage business, GM Energy, offering home and commercial batteries.
The company's battery activity spans vehicles from GMC, Chevrolet, Cadillac and others, and it supplies its architecture to partners including Honda.
