The most complete EV storage solution combines batteries with supercapacitors.

Long Duration Battery

High Power Supercapacitor

Hybrid (Best of Both)

Capacitech makes it easy to create hybrid energy storage systems that don’t force tradeoffs, ushering EVs into markets like:

  • Scooters

  • Agriculture

  • Heavy Duty

  • Shipping

  • Transportation

EV Batteries Need Help

Batteries are built for long duration storage capacity to maximize range on flat highways. That is not the full picture of how EVs are used. Power capacity matters too. Power controls acceleration, performance on mountains, and towing capacity, among enabling other features like regenerative braking. Batteries feature great energy storage capacity, but lack power capacity. That is a problem for heavy duty EV applications like tractors, trucks, and busses. Traditional solutions create design tradeoffs. As you improve one, you sacrifice the other. Capacitech addresses this challenge.

The secret to a fully electric future is a diverse set of energy storage technology working together. We make it easy to create a smart and space efficient hybrid energy storage solution that pairs batteries with supercapacitors. Batteries feature great storage capacity and supercapacitors feature great power capacity. Together, they can rival their internal combustion engine competitor in ways no battery technology can on its own.

Batteries Alone

Batteries are on their own, limiting performance to their power and storage capacities.

Batteries + Capacitech

Batteries are supported by supercapacitors, increasing design flexibility needed to reach goals.

We Unlock EV Performance

Introducing Next Gen Design Flexibility: The battery shown in the graph on the left must be rated to meet peak power requirements on its own. To accomplish this, energy density will be sacrificed. The battery used in the graph on the right is enhanced by Capacitech, significantly reducing its peak power requirements. This offers the design flexibility to select batteries with higher energy density. As a result, range can be improved without the sacrificing power capacity needed to accelerate, tow, and haul heavier payloads all thanks to supercapacitors.

Ready to Collaborate?

Our supercapacitor products are optimized for high power, resilience, and to enable design flexibility. We add value and avoid tradeoffs like no other energy storage company can by storing energy in places other energy storage technologies cannot. The result is a more affordable and safer EV with high power capacity and better battery performance. EV products are developed in collaboration with OEMs. Please contact us to discuss your project and how we can help.

How to power a tractor?

Batteries

On their own, there will be significant tradeoffs. To increase its peak power capacity, a battery sacrifices its energy (range / runtime).

Supercapacitors

Without a battery, supercapacitors will need to be frequently recharged. Even charging within a minute, this is impractical.

Capacitech

We pair batteries with supercapacitors to utilize both for what they do best, avoid expensive over designs, and surpass your goals.

A tractor draws different amounts of power based what it is doing. For example, a backhoe uses less power when idling than when its bucket breaks earth.

Use case:

Why not combine traditional batteries and supercapacitors without Capacitech? This will require tradeoffs that end users do not like, as batteries and supercapacitors compete for space in the energy storage system, giving up one feature for another. We help avoid that.
