Time will tell if they ever are able to bring a product to market. Energy density comparable to lithium batteries is great for a capacitor but we really need something an order of magnitude greater. Lithium is no longer adequate for the new generations of electronic devices and has never been adequate for a car.

That's the great thing about markets:
a.) EEStor doesn't seem to be able to deliver. But over time someone will. Competition drives progress.
b.) Markets don't require one-to-one replacements. 200 miles of range and a recharge time of around a minute would be fine with maybe 80% of all drivers.. Not 100%, but enough to make such a product comercially viable (if the price is right).
