More powerful electric cars: Mechanism behind capacitor's high-speed energy storage discovered. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2012 / 02 / 120223182646 ...

VW’s electric Bus is ready to be the family vehicle of the decade, but VW’s priced it to be the hottest niche ride of the season. Tentatively, it’s still worth it. New plug-in hybrids for 2025 ...

Electric Vehicles (EV) are hoped to represent more than 50% of worldwide light duty vehicle sales by 2050. The absence of suitable capacitors is one of the major barriers to meeting this goal.

At the moment almost all electric cars use battery technology, which has its share of drawbacks ranging from heavy weight to charge degradation after multiple recharge cycles. But a secretive ...

Back to the Future may have been right: The cars of tomorrow will be powered by capacitors (they will not, presumably, be able to time-travel). At least, that’s what Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at ...

Most electric cars get around with just one big, high voltage battery pack full of rechargeable lithium cells that drive the motor. But, EVs also have a regular old 12 volt lead-acid battery, just ...

While Tesla has been on the forefront of electric vehicle battery technology, company chief Elon Musk recently said that capacitors, not batteries, are the future of EV’s.

This new power helped the Flux Capacitor challenge the 10.25-second quarter-mile speed record for a street-legal electric car, which had been held by a modded 1972 Datsun called the White Zombie.

The series is aimed at automotive applications, including those for electric vehicle (EV) powertrains and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The capacitors have a 125ºC maximum operating ...

According to most experts’ expectations for electric cars, the vehicles will be fueled mainly by batteries. But there’s a dark horse competitor for energy storage: ultracapacitors, devices ...

Ultracaps, for instance, likely won't run electric cars on their own, according to Chad Hall, COO of Ioxus, which today released a line of electric double layer capacitors.
