Empowering Advanced Battery Chemistries for “All-Electric Future”

As GM continues marching towards an all-electric, zero emission future with 25+ yrs experience in vehicle electrification, this mission has never been more important and urgent to our society than now. To accelerate EV adoption, the advancement of battery technology, in particular, battery chemistry requires starting with a solid and deep understanding in customer pain points. In this talk, we will discuss: 1) how to apply the approach of “begin with the end in mind” to further unleashing the power of advanced battery chemistry for EV; 2) a case study comparing EV battery systems integrated with different advanced chemistries by using above approach. Finally, the key aspects in battery chemistry advancement toward mass EV-adoption will be highlighted.
