I've seen YouTube videos of supercapacitors replacing car batteries. Is this practical? And if so, why haven't they been offered in the automotive market place?

the type supercapacitor he is using has the following data sheet:

Note that it contains 8,125 Joules of Stored Energy.
Then if you go to http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/Joule_to_Watt_Calculator.htm and enter 8125 in the box and let's say 5 seconds of starting (it shd start up in 1 second in actuality). You then get 1,625 Watts. Remember 1 HP = 750 Watts , so you have just over 2 HP of starting power. Remember he's using six of them. 6 x 8125= 48,750 J. @ 16.2V.
(for a 2 sec. start it's over 24,000 Watts(32 HP) of instant power) Easily enough to start your car. Without a battery too.
A good car battery would have 700 CCA. @ 14V = 9800 Watts(13 HP). Quite a difference. (The average starter is 1.9 to 2 HP)
Here, as time goes by, I will post more videos to bolster my claim:

Bottom line is, if you have enough Farads, you have energy density.
And this really settles the matter once and for all...
