Results of an earlier simulation study of capacitor sizing for the system shows that a 75-100 Whr capacitor bank is appropriate for a Saturn VUE-sized PHEV. Reduced-cost EDLCs, through capacitor construction that reduces labor cost (machine assembled with fewer parts). Gold Peak USA is supplying prototype LiMnO 2 polymer batteries.

It successfully descended to Saturn's moon Titan in 2005 after being carried by the Cassini orbiter. The radiation builds up a charge on the materials over time, and precisely because they're insulators there's nowhere for that charge to go—until it's ultimately released in a hardware-damaging electrostatic discharge.
