GM and LG to invest $1 billion in new EV battery plant upgrade

Original: GM and LG Energy Solution will spend 1B USD turning their Spring Hill plant into the first factory to mass-produce prism

GM and LG Energy Solution will spend $1 billion converting their Spring Hill plant in Tennessee into the first factory to mass-produce prismatic lithium manganese-rich cells. The battery chemistry is seen as a cheaper alternative to conventional EV batteries, and the move signals both companies are pushing to cut battery costs as electric vehicle competition intensifies.

Why now: The investment marks the first mass production of a potentially cheaper EV battery chemistry, with implications for electric vehicle pricing.
