The DC-DC converter acts as a hub that transfers energy between key components of the vehicle’s high voltage electrical system. The converter is able to match the voltages of these components and transfer energy between them in response to CAN commands from an external supervisory controller. —Mark Willows.

Rechargeable magnesium batteries are of great interest as potential “beyond Li-ion” systems for extended electric vehicle range. Because magnesium is divalent, it can displace double the charge per ion (i.e., Mg 2+ rather than Li + ). As an element, magnesium is more abundant than lithium, and more stable. Earlier post.)
