Summary
GM is betting big on sodium-ion batteries to break free from China’s grip on critical battery materials, aiming for a fully U.S.-based supply chain within two to three years—starting with energy storage and eventually powering their EVs. Partnering with startup Peak Energy, they’re targeting commercial production by 2029, touting cheaper, easier-to-make cells that could outperform lithium in temperature range and lifespan. With a new battery lab on the horizon, GM’s long-term play is to leapfrog global rivals by building next-gen tech from American soil—and secure dominance in the future of electric mobility.
