LG Chem said the number and prices of the batteries to be supplied are fluid due to orders needing to be placed and market conditions.
Currently, the Korean company is a key supplier of batteries to U.S. auto giant General Motors, Volvo, Renault, as well as South Korea's largest carmaker, Hyundai Motor Co., and its smaller affiliate, Kia Motors Corp.
