6 Conclusion. A supercapacitor is an advanced energy storage device that offers high power density and has a long cycle life. These devices store energy through the separation of charge in an electrolyte, rather than through the chemical reactions used in batteries. This technology has undergone extensive developments in the last few years.

A battery''s power density is too small to absorb all that energy in the time frame within which the vehicle must stop – but a supercapacitor, with its enormous power density, can do the trick. Then, the energy now stored in the supercapacitor can be transferred back into the battery at the more leisurely pace that the battery''s lower power …
