I am wondering if maybe that's what she's doing with her super capacitor. A capacitors speed of charge is determined by the RC time constant. Five time constants is a virtual charge and five time constants is a virtual discharge. MAYBE, she is charging with a particular Resistance value determining the charge time constant and using a different Resistance value ( the load) for a different discharge time constant making for a longer discharge time. This is kind of out there, but maybe it has something to do with it.
IF that is what she's doing, the power required by an IPhone is a TINY fraction of what would be required to operate an electric car. I'm skeptical that if it is anything like this that she came up with to operate an IPhone, could make the jump to the power levels required by an electric car.
