Uh-huh... Lets do a little math here:
Current Prius Batteries: 1.5kW
Current Prius EV range: 1 mile

So to go 500 Miles you would need somewhere in the range of 750kW of power stored in these "non-batteries".[/b]
Way off, I'm afraid. The Prius isn't an EV. The capacity of the Prius battery is far larger than what it lets us use. An average EV can go four miles on 1kWh of electricity, so just 250Wh/mile. Man... who said anything about 500 miles of range?! I personally need a bit of a break ever few hours of driving. But that's a different discussion. 30kWh on board (two of these caps) would be plenty of range for a normal EV.

What they claim is sound. If they can commercialize and deliver, this is very exciting indeed. ZENN Motors is a real outfit with real product. If they're onboard, then I'm impressed... and I'm looking into the details of that right now.
