World-first supercapacitor-hybrid e-moto gets a chance to prove itself

Audacious French company Nawa showed off a concept bike in 2019, claiming its supercapacitor-hybrid battery pack could massively boost power and urban range for electric motorcycles. Now, it seems we'll get a chance to see if the numbers stack up.

Aura Aerospace pitches Powercell ultracapacitor powertrains for eVTOL

San Francisco's Aura Aerospace is working on a remarkably odd idea: replacing batteries in electric VTOL air taxis with high-powered "Powercell" ultracapacitors capable of massive power output and 10-minute charging, in long-range hybrid setups.

Skeleton's high-power Superbattery is more interesting than we thought

We got it wrong, folks. The Superbattery from Skeleton Technologies is not a hybrid battery/ultracapacitor energy system, it's an entire new type of cell that sits somewhere in between the two. And it will make it into EVs – just not how we expected.
