Well, the EEstor ultracapacitor battery is due out this season, so presumably could come along any minute now. This is the one supposedly with great secrecy, from Cedar Park (Austin) Texas. Said to have many times the energy density of a lithium ion battery, recharge in just a few minutes, and to give the vehicle range of hundreds of miles. A real breakthrough.

So, anybody heard more about this?

Odds of the hype bearing fruit?

Thoughts?
