Some years ago, maybe a whole decade IIRC, Elbit made public its development of an innovative supercapacitor. This was supposed to be implemented in our mass transit system, with the supercapacitors installed flat under the busse's floor. They would be instantly recharged at each bus stop, that was supposed to be rigged with the appropriate docking station. No such infrastructure has showed up so far, and I'm still "smoking" a couple of packs of "public" diesel exhaust every time I ride my bicycle around the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area. Still, I'm glad this tech has found a useful application, but I'm afraid we've become a bit "Iranian" with our new weapons announcements lately, and that no such operational system will be implemented within the promised timeframe.
