"We are excited about the progress that our team has made, and we look forward to the finished product — a nearly 3 million-square-foot plant," said Ken Morris, vice president of Autonomous and Electric Vehicle Programs. "Our joint venture with LG Chem will allow us to produce advanced battery cells in Lordstown, with the goal of reducing battery costs to accelerate EV adoption and ultimately benefit customers."

Despite the pandemic, product development work on GM's future EV and AV portfolios continues to progress at a rapid pace. Production timing remains on track for the LYRIQ and GMC HUMMER EV, both of which will be powered by the Ultium battery system.
