Not aware of any breakthroughs. If you have new information could you outline some of it? Last I read nano-tube and capacitor storage tech was imminent. As I recall some of the capacitor storage companies had applied for patents. Since then crickets.

Those are the technologies. My understanding is supercapacitors have matured sufficiently to be available commercially. The nano-tech batteries are in late stage testing. As either currently exist, they won't be suitable for widespread EV use anytime soon but a storage system comprising a supercapacitor and nano-battery will greatly improve the performance of hybrid vehicles.
