GM Explores New Battery Tech for Data Center and Energy Storage Expansion
General Motors is expanding beyond traditional EV manufacturing, focusing on energy storage and data center markets. They are developing advanced sodium-ion batteries for grid-scale storage, citing their simplicity and resilience, which promises lower costs. GM is also repurposing EV batteries and producing LFP cells, but sees sodium-ion as the future for energy storage. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology is also a key focus, allowing customers to save on energy costs.
