Toyota, among others, has actively been exploring the development of Mg-ion batteries as a higher energy density solution for energy storage. Based in Cambridge, MA, Pellion was founded by a team of MIT researchers. As an element, magnesium is much more abundant than lithium, and more stable. Earlier post.)
