The announcement of a groundbreaking agreement to jointly develop prismatic battery cell technology marks the beginning of a new chapter in LG Energy Solution and General Motors (GM) 14-year relationship on battery breakthroughs.
This arrangement represents a major turning point for LG Energy Solution, since it is the only battery manufacturer in the world to offer all three of the primary cell form factors: porous, cylindrical, and prismatic. The state-of-the-art prismatic cell technology will power future GM electric vehicles (EVs), further solidifying the automaker’s position in the rapidly evolving EV market.
Because of the benefits of their modular design, prismatic cells—which are renowned for their flat, rectangular form and efficient use of space—are growing in popularity.
