Having one supercapacitor at home tricklecharged looks like good solution to me. I know that charging one capacitor using another is not just simply connecting them, but proper high voltage regulator might be able to recharge empty one in the car form another in reasonable time.
I do not expect an miracle, charging in one hour is good, in 30 minutes might be excellent, that is if super-capacitor could be charged and discharged at high current rates and if high voltage regulator is capable.
Supercapacitor with capacity of 50kWh could be an excelent home power backup solution too.
