"supercapacitor film could be integrated into multiple areas of the vehicle, such as the body panels, roof, floor, and doors."

I think I would pass on a vehicle that could discharge large amounts of energy in the event of a fender bender. The potential for having the instantaneous release of enough energy to power the car if a body panel gets crumpled is not a good scenario. I prefer the power source in a protected area, we don't need another car that catches on fire in minor accidents.
