Ultium Cells is planning to produce lithium manganese rich (LMR) prismatic battery cells at its Spring Hill, Tennessee plant, with the General Motors and LG Energy Solution joint venture expected to become the first manufacturer globally to commercially produce the technology.
LG Energy Solution is pivoting production from NCM for EVs to LFP for BESS. One of the seven US plants manufactures cylindrical EV cells. Five of the remaning six pouch cell plants have begun converting part of their capacity from high-nickel NCM to LFP cells for energy storage.
Europe's Battery Capacity Crisis
A white paper found qualification is preventing Europe’s battery market from reaching its full potential and reveals billions sits idle in stranded battery capacity due to missing data.
BAK Power and Echion partner on UHP 2170 cell for AI data centres.

Greetings on Easter. This sacred day celebrates hope and renewal. May it bring peace, joy and brightness to everyone’s lives. May the teachings of Jesus Christ inspire all to be kind and strengthen the spirit of togetherness in society.
LG Energy Solutions is not using cathode materials from LG Chem for batteries to be supplied to Tesla. Tesla is using batteries with cathode Ni content 95% in its electric vehicles (EVs) and humanoid robot ‘Optimus.’ These batteries have 20% higher energy density.
Taiwan solid state battery company Prologium has officially broken ground on its first European gigafactory in Dunkirk, France, marking the start of construction on a large‑scale manufacturing site for its fourth‑generation solid‑state lithium ceramic batteries.
