NASCAR & IndyCar Embrace Electric Car Racing Programs
The electric car revolution has now come to NASCAR and IndyCar in very separate ways — one battery and the other hybrid powered.

Interview With Maxwell Technologies: Ultracapacitor-based Energy Storage System
This post first appeared on San Diego Loves Green by Roy Hales A week ago, Maxwell Technologies announced they had been “been awarded a $1.39 million contract by the California Energy Commission’s Research and Development program to fund design and integration of an ultracapacitor-based energy storage system with Soitec’s CPV system located on … [continued]
Lithium Ion Capacitor Has Long Way To Go
Electric cars have giant batteries (useful for a number of things besides driving the actual car, even). Also under consideration as the primary power source for electric cars (and buses, motorcycles, yachts, etc.) is the lithium ion capacitor.
Cheaper Ultracapacitors for Electric Vehicles
Nanotune created supercapacitors which are comparable to lead acid batteries and they are even economically competitive with them due to their longer lifespan. As with any new technology, we will just have to wait and see where things go from here and hope that this technology becomes cheaper.
