Will the ultracapacitor mean increased fuel efficiency in america?

Question

hybrids are costly, and they use batteries.

new ultracapacitors can rapidly store charge...energy and release it....such systems could be a lot more efficient when compiled with a battery...one system in the news boasted a car with no use of fuel but the fast charging of an ultracapacitor.

If America REALLY wants to be free of all co2 emissions (which I don't think causes global warming btw)....and also not be dependent on oil..

Then what we would do is.....

build a huge nexus of nuclear reactors...that charge 'modules'. from all the cars with this system...which are basically ultracapacitors compiled with a battery.

When you need a charge up...(an ultracapacitor can be charged fairly fast). you go to a 'gas station' which has charged up modules, and which you replace. Battery gets you to places if you run out of charge in your ultracapacitor.

no need for fuel in cars....then gas is only used for heating and other things.

Answer 1

Do you have a link on ultracapacitors?

Answer 2

I know the article to which you are referring it was on CNN

I checked to see if it was still there but could not find it but I did find this which is the bit that accompanied the video
