If we pursue the road towards the full electric car, we must find ourselves the energy storage that can bear at least the power of gasoline. As far as today, batteries, supercapacitors and hydrogen have been the ways to follow for powering an electric car. Of the three, the supercapacitors have a great advantage: they can charge and discharge very quickly, giving instant torque to the electric car's motor.
