Create Agreements With OneD Battery Sciences, Silicon Power GM Can Superior At EV Market

JAKARTA - Automotive companies, especially those that produce electric vehicles, are currently competing to improve battery quality to win competition in the EV market.

Likewise with General Motors (GM) announcing the development of joint research with OneD Battery Sciences, which focuses on the potential for the implementation of OneD's silicon nanotechnology in GM's Ultium battery cells.

Launching Carbuzz, this agreement will provide an increase in energy density, not only will it give your EV a longer range, but will also charge faster and there will be a reduction in costs for factories.

The company admits that the collaboration in silicone anode technology is believed to be the first of its kind for two American companies.

By improving its own EV Ultium platform, GM hopes to reach its annual capacity with one million units in the US by 2025.

In addition, the automaker also hopes that its collaboration with OneD can yield benefits similar to what is seen in China.

GM added, as silicon can store 10 times more energy than graphite, it promises the development of smaller, lighter, and more efficient battery packaging.

"GM designed Ultium to become a platform that is so flexible that we can continue to improve our cells as battery technology advances," said Kent Helfrich, GM chief technology officer.

"Our collaboration with OneD will focus on efforts to continue progress within reach, performance and EV costs," he concluded.
