Ultium Cells will begin producing lithium iron phosphate battery cells at its Spring Hill, Tenn., plant, instead of the nickel-based cells it makes there now.

Ultium Cells, a joint venture (JV) between General Motors (GM) and South Korea’s LG Energy Solution, is set to commence the production of low-cost lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells at its Spring Hill facility in Tennessee,

Ultium states that the Lordstown plant's continued focus on NCMA cells underscores its role in supporting GM's current lineup of long-range electric vehicles.
