G-Cap Supercapacitor in All-Terrain Vehicles

A UK company has invented a way to manufacture high-quality 3D porous graphene in seconds using existing reel-to-reel production lines, removing the main barrier to commercialising graphene-based supercapacitors. Current supercapacitors store less energy than batteries, limiting their use. This new graphene material achieves both high energy and high power density in a single device, potentially replacing batteries in applications that need rapid charge and discharge. The project will build a complete energy storage system with a custom Battery Management System, installed in an innovative electric vehicle architecture, to prove the technology works in a real all-terrain vehicle. If successful, the approach could disrupt the energy storage industry by enabling supercapacitors that charge in seconds, last for hundreds of thousands of cycles, and are manufactured at scale with simple, low-cost processes. This would directly affect electric vehicles, but could also transform energy grids, power tools, and any system that currently relies on batteries for quick bursts of power.
