Capacitors (even the latest gee-whizziest ones) don't have the required energy density. A car might go half a mile on an ultracap. Graham

Thy charge any EV for 500 miles of operation would require very high charging power from the grid to do it in 5 minutes. It's ludicrous to think one will be able have the required sub station in your back yard. And you neighbors will each need one to.

No, there is a group claiming the same energy capacity as a lead acid battery from a capacitor. So far, you need a microscope to see their experimental unit. Unfortunately I don't remember the link. |
