I have always thought Tesla should be using the "dual" system of Ultracaps and Lith batts to reduce the strain of stop and go driving on the cars chemical based power source.

At the same time I know that Elon studied Ultracaps in college so I would think he would be able to look at the current technology and determine if it is ready for prime time yet.

Supercaps. The sexy science.
