A confirmed production example: GM
In its December 2, 2024 announcement, GM identified LG Energy Solution as its Ultium Cells partner and named vehicles powered by cells from the Ohio and Tennessee plants. The list includes Cadillac LYRIQ, Chevrolet Blazer EV and Equinox EV, Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV and HUMMER EV. This is more specific evidence than a general list of automaker logos. [1]
Publicly documented partners and products
| Partner | Product or program | What the announcement establishes |
|---|---|---|
| GM / Ultium Cells | LYRIQ; Blazer EV; Equinox EV; Silverado EV; Sierra EV; HUMMER EV | Named production applications in GM’s December 2024 release. [1] |
| Rivian | R2 | November 2024 agreement for 4695 cells; 67 GWh over more than five years. A supply agreement does not identify the supplier of every variant. [2] |
| Toyota | U.S. battery-electric vehicle program | October 2023 agreement for 20 GWh annually of high-nickel NCMA modules from 2025; this release does not establish a complete model-by-model list. [3] |
| Tesla | Megapack 3 | LG’s May 2026 account describes planned Michigan battery production from 2027. [4] |
Our perspective: verify at product level
LG Energy Solution battery partnerships span different chemistries and cell formats. A logo establishes very little about an individual product. Match the company, model, market, announcement date and production status before making a supplier claim. A supply contract, a joint venture and an installed product are different kinds of evidence.
What this means for OEM buyers
Automotive partnerships demonstrate industrial use, but contract-specific cells are not automatically available for wholesale purchase. For LG battery cells for OEM projects, begin with the actual model, documentation and sourcing channel. We discuss LG cylindrical battery cells and LG pouch cells for your project requirements, while keeping availability and qualification separate from brand-level market news.
