After a rocky EV rollout that cost $1.6 billion and led to layoffs, GM is betting big on a new lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) battery chemistry to make EVs affordable rivals to gas cars. Former Tesla battery engineer Kurt Kelty leads the charge, shifting focus from pricey NMC batteries to LMR for mainstream models. With AI simulations, digital twins, and 150 million CPU hours of testing, GM aims to roll out LMR batteries later this year—putting them on track to dominate the global EV race despite stiff competition.
