GM Kicks the Ultium Platform to the Curb

Author: 918Digital October 17, 2024 Duration: 20:09
Description:In this episode of Kilowatt, we discuss my experience upgrading to a Tesla-compatible garage door opener, revealing tips for troubleshooting tech issues. I discusses the new Lyten battery plant in Reno aimed at producing lithium-sulfur batteries. We also discuss NIO's plans for an ultra-affordable EV by December 2024 and the ID Buzz now available for configuration. We outline GM's Super Cruise ADAS, the upcoming Chevy Bolt family, and the Chevy Silverado EV's pricing and range. Finally we talk about GM discontinuing the Ultium platform in favor of program-specific batteries and a shift to cost-effective lithium-iron-phosphate technology.
