"The Spring Hill plant is part of the Ultium Cells LLC joint venture between GM and battery supplier LG Energy Solution. A sibling plant in Warren, Ohio, will continue to produce cells with nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) chemistry used in current GM EVs"LFP is generally recognized as a lower-cost alternative to NMC chemistry in part because it uses more common raw materials. LFP cells are also generally more durable..."

"The Omo X's real power lies in its sensors and software. With blind-spot alerts, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warnings, emergency braking, and V2V communication, it goes well beyond what most would expect from an electric two-wheeler."Without clear specs for top speed, charging time, or mileage range, it's hard for buyers to compare it directly to existing alternatives."

One Big Beautiful Bill Act...scrapped most of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act and pushed most of the Electric Vehicle ecosystem back to, not where it was in 2021...focus for most has been on the loss of the $7,500 tax credit and the regulatory credits EVs received...the impact on EV manufacturers is even worse than that..."Biden Administration's final moves in office was to provide a loan of $6.6 billion to complete construction of a Rivian manufacturing plant in Georgia."

"The reality is, weight alone can’t explain it. Generally speaking, yes, vehicles have been getting heavier...EVs like the Rivian R1T, the GMC Hummer EV, and the Tesla Cybertruck aren't that much heavier than some well-optioned heavy-duty pickups"...the issue is really twofold...barriers only work if they’re able to absorb the energy from an impact, they're engineered to take those hits where most of a car's energy is concentrated..."
