GM is talking about introducing a new lithium metal battery that can run up to 965 km (600 miles).
While global automakers are focusing on electrification, GM also announced its transformation into a global electric vehicle company with a new logo in January.
First of all, GM completed a simulation of 150,000 miles (240,000 km) of batteries at the Global Technology Research Institute in Warren, Michigan, which was the result of the decision to invest in the US battery developer Solid Energy System (SES) in 2015. to be.
The battery installed in the new GMC Hummer provides a mileage of about 3560 miles (563 km) and is known to exceed 450 miles (742 km) depending on the model.
The new battery uses a liquid electrolyte to double its energy density, extending the range up to 600 miles, and is expected to be up to 60% cheaper.
The first model to be equipped with a high-performance battery is the electric pickup truck GMC Hummer EV, which is expected to start selling later this year.
