GM is collaborating with LG Energy Solution to upgrade its Ultium battery factory to manufacture lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cells, improving U.S. production of these batteries. The Spring Hill, Tennessee factory, costing $2.3 billion, will transition from lithium-ion cells to LFP production, with commercial output anticipated by late 2027. LFP batteries are favored for their low cost and improved safety. GM's strategy includes a variety of battery chemistries, including nickel-manganese-cobalt for high-end models and lithium-manganese-rich for mid-range applications, with LFP aimed at entry-level EVs.
