General Motors has announced plans to build low-cost lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells in Spring Hill, Tennessee, starting in late 2027. The LFP cells, produced by Ultium Cells, will be utilized in the updated 2026 Chevrolet Bolt EV. Conversion to LFP production will begin this year, allowing GM to introduce cheaper batteries sooner. GM is moving away from a single battery cell strategy under Kurt Kelty, focusing on multiple chemistries to enhance performance and cost-effectiveness for its EV lineup through the next decade.
