EV batteries charge slowly, even when charging fast, compared to adding a charge to a capasitor, but a capacitor holds a charge badly.

Ok so far?

Why not add a capacitor next to the EV battery, to take a massive charge quickly, and IT charges the battery while you drive, before it's charge leaks out?

What am I missing? Why isnt this a billion dollar idea for EV manufacturing?

@kevinrns not an EE, but as I understand, a capacitor capable of charging a car battery would be larger than the car.

I watched this video recently which was informative:

@kevinrns Lambo might have got there first. Sorry ☹️ Good idea though!
