Charge in 5 minutes, Drive 500 miles?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the shocking-discoveries dept.

ctroutwi writes "In the wake of rising gasoline costs there have been plenty of alternatives seen on the horizon. Including Hybrids, Biofuels, fuel cells and battery powered all electric cars. CNN has recently posted a story about a company (EEStor) that plans on offering Ultra-Capacitor storage products. The claim being that you charge the ultra-capacitor in 5 minutes, with approximately 9$ (~$.45 a gallon) of electricity and then drive 500 miles."

  1. Slashdot Editors are Assholes by bratwiz · · Score: 1, Flamebait


    They don't care if its a dupe. Slashdot editors are assholes.

    They claim to care about site integrity and good material but are extremely biased with their rejection button.

    I've seen _really stupid_ articles get posted and _very good_ articles get canned for no apparent reason.

    There's no review process and no rebuttal or possibility for reconsideration.

    Okay, so its their site and they make the rules. I can live with that. But they're still assholes.

    (Probably I am too)
