Charge in 5 minutes, Drive 500 miles?

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."

Even better, the 'tagging beta' seems not to let people tag stories with 'dupe.' I did, and I'm sure a lot of others did, but it hasn't shown up. Fortunately, 'dup' and 'superduper' seem not to have been similarly purged.
