General Motors and Samsung SDI will announce this week the construction of new US battery factory, probably in Michigan.
, citing unnamed industry sources, reports the two sides are undergoing last minute negotiations for details in the agreement such as the production volume of the joint EV battery factory, the investment method and the location of the plant. Those don’t sound like details to us, but apparently the agreement to create an alliance between the two companies is the important part of the report.
The GM partnership is Samsung SDI’s second joint project in North America after the Korean battery maker announced a plan to build a $2.5 billion battery plant in Indiana with Stellantis last May. The Indiana factory is expected to begin operation in the first quarter of 2025 with an annual production capacity of 23 GWh.says this latest partnership between General Motors and Samsung SDI demonstrates two industry trends.
In the final analysis, it’s what’s inside the cell that counts. There are as many cell chemistries as there are battery manufacturers. Tesla pretty much invented the 4680 battery cell format, but is experimenting with different chemistries and production techniques to find the perfect combination of low costs, long life, fast charging, good cold weather performance, and high energy density.
The secret is in the packaging, not a new breakthrough in battery chemistry. Wu said the Kirin battery leads the industry in system weight, energy density, and volumetric energy density. “We have analyzed the range distribution of passenger cars in the last three years and found that consumers’ quest for long range is still a trend,” he added.The jockeying and jostling between battery manufacturers and automakers will be constant as the EV revolution moves forward.
