Reader Question: Why Hasn’t Detroit Embraced Ultracapacitors?

Ultracapacitors have proven their value, safety, efficiency and durability in more than 1,000 public transit buses now in daily revenue service in the U.S., Europe and Asia, so we aren’t suggesting that U.S. automakers take a “leap of faith.” Rather, we are suggesting that Detroit could reinvent itself and create U.S. jobs by taking advantage of cost-effective, readily available, American technology to produce the energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly cars consumers want.
