Look up the total storage capacity of the battery system of a
commercial fully-electric car, like a Bolt, Tesla, or eGolf. It
might be given in amp-hours, or it might be given in joules or
joules-equivalent (like hp-hours or gallons of gasoline
equivalent). And look up also what voltage at which the automobile
power systems run. Is it 12V or higher? Now what kind of
capacitance C would it take to replace the battery system
with a (far, far superior) capacitive system? If you started with
amp-hours or coulombs, then also compute what energy is stored when
the system is fully charged. That is, we want to know, in numbers
with SI units, the voltage, charge, capacitance, and stored energy
of the system. Now imagine that the capacitors in the system
consist of two very thin sheets separated by 1μm. What would be the
total area A you would need for all those sheets? Again,
provide a number in SI units.
