General Motors is the first automaker to work with Redwood Materials across every stage of the battery lifecycle — scrap recovery, end-of-life recycling, and now repurposed energy storage.

The carmaker scaled back electric vehicle plans, but is going all in on advanced batteries, including a new sodium-ion chemistry designed for large-scale power storage.

GM partnered with Peak Energy on sodium-ion batteries and expanded its Redwood Materials deal to supply energy storage for data centres and the grid.
