GM unveils fourth-generation EV platform, bets on LMR batteries and central computing

General Motors unveiled a next-generation EV strategy centred on lithium manganese-rich (LMR) batteries co-developed with LG Energy Solution and a fourth-generation EV platform. GM aims to raise energy density while using AI in vehicle structures and manufacturing to cut costs and shorten new model development from 5 years to 2 years. It also plans centralised computing to reduce modules and wiring and deploy AI-driven production systems to improve quality and efficiency.
