General Motors has invested $650M in lithium extraction company Lithium Americas to support its EV ambitions.  GM claims this is the largest investment in EV raw materials technology to date. GM expects that it will have over $50B in revenue by 2025 from EV sales, a goal that requires access to lithium batteries. Lithium Americas estimates the lithium extracted and processed from its production can help manufacture up to 1 million EVs per year. The company expects its main project, the Thacker Pass mining operation in Nevada, to create 1,000 jobs in construction and 500 in operations. Lithium Americas is active in the U.S. and Argentina. The investment is pending approval from a U.S. court and is also contingent on Lithium Americans separating its U.S. and Argentina business divisions.
