Am I missing something here?  I don't see anything about the EEESTOR
super capacitors or 250 miles on a charge.  What I do find on Zenn
Cars is a $20K two passenger vehicle capable of going 35 miles on a
charge at a blazing 25 mph.  The company is claiming the equivalent of
250 mpg based on the energy needed to charge the car 7 times.  I've
seen better figures on homebrewed Beetle conversions.
