@xlphos Re: rapid charging, the supercap would only be a fraction of the capacity of the battery, so would fill up very quickly, and then you'd be limited by the maximim charging speed of the battery for the rest of the charge.
@xlphos There's already talk of hybrid battery/supercapacitor packs where the battery provides the range and "base load" and the supercapacitor provides peak power under acceleration and greater regen. The low energy density of supercaps means they wouldn't be used to provide more range.
@ecocars1 Too kind of you, good sir!
By the way, if any of you reading this thread are looking to buy an electric car/van, speak to @ecocars1 and thank me later. Jonathan's already provided 6 EVs for me, my family and my friends and we all had the best car buying experience we've ever had
