Supercapacitors are the future of EV's. Batterypacks are heavy, cold weather decreases their performnce, need relative long charging. So I think that every automaker/batterymaker is trying to find out how to improve battery performance, but in the labs they try even harder to discover relative cheap supercapacitor.I hope the breakthru technology comes soon.

For me the most important thing is the durability of battery pack and the influence of cold temperatures ( below -25 C) on battery life. Is there any possibility that cold temperatures will decrease dramatically battery pack performance not after 10 -12 years of usage (according to battery manufacturers claims)...but after 4 or 5 years?

What about heating in winter? Any special solutions for cold regions? Methanol/gasoline internal heating system?
