LG Energy Solution expands its footprint beyond just battery production, joining SDVerse as the first battery manufacturing company in the growing automotive software market.
SDVerse was founded in 2024 by General Motors, Magna, and Wipro, and is offered as the automotive industry’s first business-to-business marketplace dedicated to vehicle software. The platform enables OEMs and other buyers to search, evaluate and integrate a variety of vehicle software solutions, simplifying sourcing and validation.
LG Energy Solution joins SDVerse with five core software offerings, each designed to support software-defined vehicles (SDV) by leveraging battery data and analytics. This includes Battery Platform SW, which monitors key battery metrics and integrates battery management system (BMS) capabilities into an SDV-enabled architecture. There is also a Safety Diagnostics Calibration Tool, which provides diagnostics and simulation validation using battery data.
Other offerings include Onboard FRISM, which is a machine learning-based model that estimates battery health without cell-level test data, and Onboard BLiS, which simulates battery degradation and performance under various conditions, including fast charging. Lastly, there’s Onboard DASH, which provides real-time insight into how driving and charging behavior impacts battery health.
“We are proud to welcome LG Energy Solution and its advanced battery management software, diagnostics and SDV-ready battery architecture to SDVerse,” said SDVerse CEO Prashant Gulati. “By combining deep battery expertise and software-based intelligence, LG Energy Solution helps accelerate the development of the next generation of electric vehicles.”
As previously discussed by GM AuthorityLG Electronics joined SDVerse late last year, offering a portfolio of advanced LG AlphaWare software designed to help automakers manage in-vehicle software. Last month, Tesla and LG Energy Solution announced that the two companies would proceed with construction of a new lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery cell manufacturing facility in Lansing, Michigan. The site was originally slated to be GM’s third Ultium Cells factory before The General opted to scale back its electric vehicle plans.
