Vianode secures multi-billion EV battery supply deal with GM
Summary
The high-performance anode graphite will be shipped from Vianode’s IRA compliant large-scale plant in North America with production starting in 2027. The agreement, that includes a minimum off-take commitment, follows a multi-year qualification process, demonstrating that the anode graphite produced at Vianode’s pilot plant in Norway meets stringent performance and validation requirements. “This agreement with Vianode for the development of artificial graphite is another great example of GM’s strategic effort to build a sustainable battery supply chain in North America,” said Jeff Morrison, Senior Vice President of Global Purchasing and Supply Chain at General Motors. Vianode is preparing to develop large-scale sustainable anode graphite production in North America and Europe through a phased multi-billion dollar investment programme. We look forward to collaborating with GM to further develop high-performance products that enable EVs with faster charging, longer range and extended lifespan,” says Dr. Stefan Bergold, the CCO of Vianode.
