- Electric and hybrid cars struggle when it comes to exerting power for acceleration and hill climbing
Using ultracapacitors to efficiently absorb energy from braking, the outputted power is comparable to any competing technology on today’s market.
Why supercapacitors are ideal for the automotive market
- The concern of battery life
When used in parallel with batteries, the strain on the battery is reduced and lifetime is increased.
- Utilizing a start-stop system requires a car engine to be restarted numerous times per day.
As opposed to batteries, supercapacitors are designed to withstand millions of cycles without maintenance, or drops in performance.
