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.
