GM is pivoting to sodium-ion chemistry for grid-scale energy storage, leveraging its lower cost and thermal stability to address power demands from AI data centers. This strategic shift involves a partnership with Peak Energy to deploy systems that eliminate the need for complex cooling and fire suppression, distinguishing it from traditional lithium-ion approaches. The move signals a broader industry trend where automakers are repurposing battery manufacturing capacity to secure essential infrastructure for high-compute workloads.

GM joins race to build batteries for AI data centers and the grid
TechCrunch4 min read
GM is developing an entirely new sodium-ion battery chemistry for use in everything from data centers to its own factories.
The race to secure power for AI data centers has spilled over into some unusual places, including the automotive world. Battery recycler Redwood Materials kicked off the trend last year with a new energy storage division and a project that attached old EV packs to a Crusoe data center in Nevada. Then, Ford said it was repurposing some of its battery manufacturing capacity to make grid-scale batteries. And now GM is announcing its own — arguably more ambitious — plans for an energy storage system…
