GM has partnered with Peak Energy to develop next-generation sodium-ion battery cells, but they’re not going into EVs – they’re for grid-scale energy storage projects
What's Happening
GM Ventures is making a strategic investment in Peak Energy.
Why This Matters for EV Owners
The Bigger Picture
This development reflects broader shifts in the European EV market as charging infrastructure expands and new models enter the market..
Real-World Range Considerations
EVRoutes' route calculations account for real-world conditions. In winter, expect 15-30% range reduction due to battery chemistry and cabin heating. Pro tip: Pre-conditioning the battery before DC fast charging can improve charging speeds by up to 30% in cold weather.
What to Watch Next
As the EV landscape continues to evolve, developments like this shape the transition to electric mobility across Europe..
