A '''capacitor electric vehicle''' is a [[vehicle]] that uses [[supercapacitor]]s (also called ultracapacitors) to store electricity.<ref>[https://
{{As of|2010}}{{Update inline|date=March 2024}}, the best ultracapacitors can only store about 5% of the energy that [[lithium-ion]] rechargeable batteries can, limiting them to a couple of miles per charge. This makes them ineffective as a general energy storage medium for passenger vehicles. But ultracapacitors can charge much faster than [[Battery (electricity)|batteries]], so in vehicles such as [[bus]]es that have to stop frequently at known points where charging facilities can be provided, energy storage based exclusively on [[ultracapacitor]]s becomes viable.<ref name="technologyreview.com">{{cite web |url=https://www.technologyreview.com/2009/10/19/209306/next-stop-ultracapacitor-buses/ |title=Next Stop: Ultracapacitor Buses |publisher=MIT |work=MIT Technology Review |date=19 October 2009 |accessdate=2022-10-22 |last=Hamilton |first=Tyler}}</ref>

[[Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens|RATP]], the public-owned company that manages most of [[Paris]]' public transport system, is currently performing tests using a hybrid bus outfitted with ultracapacitors. The model, called [[Lion's City Hybrid]], is supplied by German manufacturer [[MAN SE|MAN]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://green.autoblog.com/2009/04/15/paris-tests-a-new-hybrid-bus-that-uses-ultracapacitors/ |last=Navarro |first=Xavier |title=Paris tests a new hybrid bus that uses ultracapacitors |publisher=Green.autoblog.com |date=15 April 2009 |access-date=2013-10-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120401103027/http://green.autoblog.com/2009/04/15/paris-tests-a-new-hybrid-bus-that-uses-ultracapacitors/ |archive-date=2012-04-01 |url-status=live}}</ref>
[[GSP Belgrade]], [[Serbia]] has launched the first bus line operated solo by supercapacitor buses from Chinese manufacturer [[Higer]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://newscontent.cctv.com/NewJsp/news.jsp?fileId=372911|title=Newscontent|website=newscontent.cctv.com|access-date=2016-09-02}}</ref> First sustainable ultracapacitor (UC) e-bus was represented by Chariot Motors Company in EU and [[Sofia]], [[Bulgaria]] in 2014. The 18-month pilot project was successful and had a great public response. The UC bus was tested by the Reputable German laboratory Belicon GmbH and was defined as one of the lowest energy consumption effective vehicles.
