Overview
- GM will begin converting Spring Hill’s battery lines late this year, aiming for commercial LFP output by late 2027.
- The next-generation Chevy Bolt EV and Silverado EV will use the new LFP packs to reduce costs and improve safety.
- Lithium-iron-phosphate chemistry offers lower pack expenses and enhanced durability compared with nickel-manganese-cobalt cells.
- The plant revamp supports GM’s three-chemistry strategy by adding LFP for entry-level models alongside high-nickel and lithium-manganese-rich solutions.
- Domestic LFP production at Spring Hill is intended to challenge China’s dominance and strengthen the U.S. EV supply chain.
