Lamborghini Patents Supercapacitor Tech
"Supercapacitors aren't just small and lightweight; they're also more efficient than batteries. Supercapacitors offer a 1:1 charge-to-discharge ratio, meaning they require the exact same amount of energy to charge as they can store and ultimately discharge, making them incredibly effective means of storing and re-purposing otherwise-wasted kinetic energy in a hybrid setup. They can also handle more charge and discharge cycles, and they deliver their power quickly, which is a great trait for a supercar."
"Lamborghini's extremely limited-production 807-horsepower Sián already makes use of supercapacitor technology. It powers a 48-volt e-motor built into the Sián's transmission, contributing 34 horsepower at speeds up to 81 mph."
