CAP-XX introduces supercap modules to support batteries in stop-start applications

Green Car Congress

The downside is the increased number of starts over a Stop-Start vehicle’s life—potentially more than 100 per day—which means a standard car battery may last less than 18 months, the company notes. With 150F at 14V, and an ESR of 4.5 NEDC testing: battery alone. CAP-XX Supercapacitors for Automotive Applications.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure. As shown in Figure 1, for electricity, the PHEV can plug into a standard existing electrical outlet, and for supplementary power it can fill its tank from a standard, ubiquitous and familiar fuel station.

Standardization of battery shape and chemistry is another consideration that gives one pause. Most charge points available today take much longer to re-energize batteries than it does to fill a gas-powered cars tank. Forcing companies to conform to standardized batteries prevents them from designing better cars.
