GM is expanding efforts to capitalize on the expected growth of energy storage and data centers and the development of next-generation sodium-ion batteries.

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.
