- The last decade has shown that ultracapacitors face some difficulties to carve their way to the automotive market. In our opinion, the main reason for certain skepticism from automakers side is a pretty fast progress in Li-ion technology on the one hand, and rather slow progress in ultracapacitor technology, on the other hand. To become really competitive in the automotive market, ultracapacitors must demonstrate by far higher power density (and, accordingly, much lower inner resistance) than Li-ion or any other batteries. This, accompanied by ultracapacitors long life, wide operation temperature range and safety, will help them to clear their way to the market.
