SK On Battery Tech

[Trace26]

From my research I think there's a good chance the Slate will have NCM9 cells. The same cells SK On supplies for the Ford F-150 Lightning

"NCM9 Battery developed by SK On and produced by SK Battery America

The NCM9 battery derives its name from the key components it comprises: nickel, manganese, and cobalt,
represented by 'NCM,' with the '9' signifying its impressive nickel composition, nearly reaching 90%.
This elevated nickel content translates to superior energy density and an extended driving range,
making it a preferred choice for enhanced performance."

Interesting, what makes you think that? Is that the only cell that SK On makes here in the US?

(Not being argumentative, just curious!)

It's the only one I've found in the pouch format they make in the US. I could be wrong and I'm continuing to look for more information.

Edit: just found this
The Slate Truck will be powered by SK On’s high-nickel NCM (nickel-cobalt-manganese) battery, renowned for its energy density, safety, and performance. This supports Slate’s goal of offering a radically affordable EV, while maintaining reliability and quality driving experience.
