A capacitor electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses supercapacitors (also called ultracapacitors) to store electricity. As of 2010 [needs update], the best ultracapacitors can only store about 5% of the energy that lithium-ion rechargeable batteries can, limiting them to a couple of miles per charge.
Supercapacitors have been used in buses, allowing times of 10-15 s to fully recharge the bus during a stop. But that needs to be combined with a highvoltage DC charging system. Automation company ABB has developed a high-capacity flashcharging electric bus system.
Our supercapacitors are built to work with almost any type of vehicle—from everyday cars to heavy-duty trucks. They deliver fast power, improve safety, and support sustainability in today's software-driven vehicles. Explore our battery technologies that deliver next generation performance.
Supercapacitor technology is already well-established in stop-start and mild hybrid architectures. Unlike batteries, which use an electrochemical process, supercapacitors are based around electrostatic techniques. This provides fast charging and millions of discharge cycles that batteries cannot deliver.
