Although I generally like your articles I wonder why you write about ultracapacitors? So far we have not seen them in evs.
Hi John,
Yes, ultracaps have not made it yet into the EV/hybrid world but it will. It is a fantastic product that, although does not replace a battery, is the perfect bridge and load balancing system for the continuous strain on batteries.
Plus, as aficionados as we are, it does not hurt to learn about eventual and probable technologies that will make it into the EV world. Nick
