GMC marks 25 years of Hummer with limited ‘ICON’ EV as sales sink 55%

15 July 2026 at 16:00

GMC is marking 25 years of the Hummer nameplate with the Hummer EV ICON | 25, a limited-run edition of its all-electric supertruck that revives the yellow paint of the original H2.

GM becomes first automaker to partner with Redwood across full battery lifecycle

9 June 2026 at 22:52

General Motors has expanded its partnership with Redwood Materials to cover every stage of the battery lifecycle — manufacturing scrap recovery, end-of-life recycling, and now second-life energy storage deployed at a GM factory. It’s the first automaker to hit all three with JB Straubel’s company.

The latest piece is a 1.5 MW / 7.2 MWh energy storage system built from roughly 100 repurposed GM battery packs, set to be installed at a GM manufacturing plant in Michigan. Redwood says the system will save the plant more than $3 million in electricity costs over its lifetime.
