It is well known that electric vehicles are the future and it is imperative that we study more about electric vehicles and how their performance can be improved so that they can be used by the consumers. Even though the electric vehicle technology has matured a lot, there are a lot of controversial thoughts regarding the battery technology being used in electric vehicles. This is where ultra-capacitors can prove to be a viable option. Ultra-capacitors are high-capacity capacitors that have a capacitance value much higher than other capacitors, but with lower voltage limits. Research conducted on ultra-capacitors have shown that it charges much faster than conventional lithium-ion batteries as well as has a faster discharge rate. Ultra-capacitors also tolerate more battery cycles compared to conventional rechargeable batteries therefore enabling ultra-capacitors to have a longer shelf life. This paper aims at giving a comprehensive overview of what ultra-capacitors are and how they can shape the future of battery technology in the next decade.
