South Korea’s LG Energy Solution, one of the world’s largest EV battery manufacturers, is deepening its foothold in the U.S. electric vehicle supply chain, securing a long-term deal to power solar EV startup Aptera Motors as the California-based company prepares to go public on Nasdaq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under a seven-year agreement, LG Energy Solution will supply 4.4 GWh of cylindrical 2170 batteries through 2031, supporting Aptera’s push to commercialize its three-wheeled solar-powered vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal positions LG Energy Solution as a key technology partner in a niche but fast-growing corner of the U.S. EV market: vehicles designed to supplement traditional charging with solar energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aptera partnership is the latest in a string of moves by LG Energy Solution to expand its U.S. presence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company already operates large-scale battery production in North America to support automakers like General Motors and Honda, aligning with the Biden administration’s push to strengthen domestic EV supply chains through international partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aptera, often dubbed “the next Tesla” by EV enthusiasts, is set to list its Class B common stock on Nasdaq on October 16 through a secondary offering. Its vehicle, which integrates solar panels directly into its body, can travel up to 399 miles on a single charge and add 39 miles per day via solar power alone. The company has roughly 50,000 preorders and plans to begin U.S. deliveries later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By securing Aptera as a long-term client, LG Energy Solution is betting that new categories of electric mobility-like solar-assisted EVs-will open additional market opportunities beyond traditional automaker contracts. The partnership also reinforces how U.S. startups are increasingly turning to foreign battery makers for high-performance cells, despite ongoing efforts to localize supply chains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
