GM develops next-gen sodium-ion batteries to cut US reliance on China for EVs and energy storage.

General Motors is developing next-generation sodium-ion battery cells aimed at reducing U.S. dependence on Chinese materials for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Partnering with Peak Energy, GM plans to launch commercial production by 2029, focusing on domestic supply chains using abundant U.S. materials like sodium. This move contrasts with rivals like Ford, which face criticism for ties to Chinese battery firms. GM aims to 'leapfrog' existing Chinese technology by creating superior, domestically sourced batteries, potentially lowering costs and improving performance for energy storage applications.
