Mercedes to Buy EV Batteries from LG Energy Solutions

Mercedes-Benz announced that it will introduce new products at an accelerated pace. By 2027 Mercedes will roll-out 40 new and "refreshed" models. It will be a combination of internal combustion engine (ICE), hybrid, and battery-powered vehicles (EV), including all-electric CLA and AMG electric sedan.

To support hybrid and electric vehicle production, Mercedes recently strengthened its partnership with LG Energy Solutions, a South Korean battery manufacturer. In addition to last year's deal to deliver 50GWh of battery cells, LG Energy Solutions agreed to deliver additional 107 GWh of battery cells to Mercedes plants in Europe and the United States over the next 10 years. That's enough battery cells to produce almost 2 million all-electric vehicles over the 10 year period. The agreement with LG Energy Solutions is a part of Mercedes-Benz plan to convert 50% of its production to hybrid and EV models by 2030.
