It took six years of collaborative research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to develop the cutting edge energy storage technology of FastCapSystems.

Compared to traditional batteries currently used in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), the Massachusetts-based company's ultracapacitor costs less and offers twenty times higher power densities, similar energy densities, and millions of full charge-discharge cycles. By using only domestically-abundant and eco-friendly raw materials, FastCAP SYSTEMS will be the first to bring this breakthrough technology to automotive markets.
