Ok, I'll bite. What's the scoop on ultracapacitors?

I see that there are some nay-sayers, and some feel that EEstor won't be able to go to production ... but Zenn seems to have bit, hook line and sinker ... are these a replacement for Lead acid and Lithium batteries any time soon? Anyone have info??

It appears that they would be ideal for the acceleration phase of a vehicle, and to re-capture energy with regenerative braking, but are they a replacement for storage cells??

Inquiring minds, and all that ...
