<div><div>All Storage issues aside...can you imagine the size of wires it would take to handle the current flow it would take to charge a capacitor capable of running an electric car for 500 miles (using current electrical engines of course)?! Not to mention the havoc it would play on our electrical grid...massive capacitive loads being connected to the grid for 5 minutes? We would have blackouts across the nation from these "fueling stations."
