Default Re: Goodbye gasoline

While it looks very interesting, no actual supercaps have been tested. I'll get excited when a second party can evaluate them, both in terms of performance and safety. I would want to be sure it would not explode if shorted or crushed in an accident. 50KWh is about the same energy as 140lbs of TNT. (I know gasoline is also explosive, but modern cars rarely explode in car crashes)
