Forecast to Build a Production Line for New Batteries
According to GM, SES technology will enhance the energy density of lithium-ion batteries and assist in the mass adoption of electric vehicles. Thus, the companies will build a production line for a prototype by 2023.
Competitive Advantage of SES and GM Over Tesla
The battery produced by SES uses materials with safety comparable to the lithium-ion batteries found in smartphones and other devices. SES designed a “no-anode” lithium-metal battery that is twice as energy-dense, allowing for the production of lighter electric vehicles with much more spacious interiors for additional features. GM also states that the new battery models will be designed to cost 60% less than the current ones by the middle of this decade.
