The ultracapacitor replacement for batteries has seemed too good to be true, but with the Lockheed Martin contract and Zenn plans to move ahead with production, it might be real.

The highway speed vehicle, to be called the cityZenn, will have a top speed of 80 miles per hour and a range of 250 miles, according to Zenn. The company said the EEStor powered car will be rechargeable in less than 5 minutes.

If you can recharge your electric car in five minutes, issues of range disappear.
