GM frames the push as a way to monetise its $900M battery R&D investment beyond EVs, though it faces stiff competition from Tesla Energy, Fluence, and BYD, and sodium-ion technology remains unproven at commercial scale outside China. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
