    Mazda played around with capacitors instead of batteries a while back. It didn’t get far.

      Capacitors will not be relevant for storing energy for EVs in the foreseeable future. All cars currently run on batteries and there is no technology on the horizon that would change that.

      Capicators are not as good as batteries at energy capicity vs weight and volume. Capicators are great at releasing large amounts of energy.
