I am still thinking that super/ultra capacitors combined with batteries will improve cars, mostly for regen and starting from a dead stop (or hard acceleration).
Tesla has already purchased a super capacitor manufacturer,and has an up-coming meeting/announcement, about the hybrid energy storage system,not too far off now.
Back when the EV1 debuted,seems like Honda was already using the state-of-the-art Russian super-capacitor in their little SUV EV.
