@minevich don't think Capacitors aren't the way of the future, they are, 'Super' capacitators ( - hold 1000 + more times than ordinary cap's) are only a few years old and nano technology for them is getting better all the time. They're expensive cos they're not mass produced for cars. Car companies like GM have bought out many patents for super high powered batteries and never let anyone use them. Let your mind be free of the global consumerism fever, go self sustainable and leave money behind..
I just started reading about capacitors. Why do car companies continue to use batteries (such as the ones used to power laptops)? sorry if this is a novice question.
@johnson1095 ah, thank you. I have also found that capacitors do not hold a lot of energy and discharge quickly. It's very interesting to watch a paradigm shift in transportation.

@aminevich
Using capacitors would cost 5x the amount it takes to run an EV today using conventional batteries.
