US NUCLEAR'S GRAPHETON "GLASSY CARBON SUPER CAPACITOR" IS POSITIONING TO BECOME THE NEEDED BREAKTHROUGH FOR ULTRA-FAST CHARGING ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Canoga Park, CA -- May 26, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire

EV Sales are up 81% in Q1 2021 but still make up barely 8% of total car sales because long charging time and lack of convenient charging stations continue to be major impediments to EV car sales
If charging time could be reduced from hours to seconds, countless charging stations would spring up overnight at work places, at rest stops and at almost every gas station around the world and EV sales would accelerate dramatically
US Nuclear's Grapheton is developing a new "Glassy Carbon Supercapacitor" energy source that is perfect for Electric Vehicles because it is powerful and it charges in seconds, not hours
Grapheton has already succeeded with early versions of the "Glassy Carbon Supercapacitor" for low-current microchip applications and is now working on making the first prototypes for more powerful scaled-up units suitable for electric vehicles
The time to market could be surprisingly fast because the new Glassy Carbon Supercapacitor is 3 million times more powerful than conventional capacitors and they are inexpensive compared to lithium and graphene
The new "Glassy Carbon Supercapacitor" is also expected to impact microchips and electronic circuit boards making devices even smaller and more powerful in succeeding generations
US Nuclear shares are trading at $.50 with a very small market cap of $14 million

Electric Vehicle stocks like TSLA, SOLO, NKLA, NIO, and LI have been on a wild ride up and down but are still the focus of many investors believing the strong upward trend will continue in spite of the difficulties of convenient charging. Admittedly, Electric Vehicle sales are strong, but the reality is that they have a long way to go to even be mainstream.

As the author of this article, I can say that I love the idea of owning and driving an electric vehicle, but I am going to wait until there is a way to charge them at least as fast and conveniently as going to a gas station.

What if there was an electric vehicle that could be charged in just seconds at any one of thousands of convenient locations?

I would be all in said Goldstein and I believe many more of us would be too.

Good News! US Nuclear Corp. just announced that their Grapheton New "Glassy Carbon Supercapacitor" Could Charge Your Next Electric Vehicle in Seconds.

US Nuclear's (OTCQB: UCLE) partner Grapheton has developed the next generation of supercapacitors using a special patented glassy carbon material. Featuring remarkable charge storage capacity and power density, Grapheton's supercapacitors could be used in powering and rapidly charging electric vehicle systems. A typical electric vehicle running on lithium-ion batteries takes about 8 hours to fully charge, but a supercapacitor system could be fully charged in under a minute. Batteries still retain the advantage when it comes to higher energy density (ability to store energy), but new advances in supercapacitor technology, such as those made by Grapheton, could allow supercapacitors to hold the same amount of charge as a battery and deliver the charge in just seconds. Grapheton's unique glassy carbon supercapacitors can have up to 3 million times more capacitance than commercial off-the-shelf capacitors.

Supercapacitors have numerous advantages over traditional batteries, such as:

Supercapacitors can be recharged with little to no degradation (supercapacitors can handle over 1 million charge/discharge cycles vs 2000-3000 cycles with regular batteries), which means a huge savings in materials and costs
Almost instant charge and discharge times
Weigh less than traditional batteries
Supercapacitors are eco-friendly and don't contain toxic metals or harmful materials and so avoid the risks of poisoning workers, car owners or the environment.

There are already some electric vehicles in trial operation that run off supercapacitors, such as the capabus, which is a new type of electric bus that runs on supercapacitors (or in some versions, a hybrid of batteries and supercapacitors). The capabus runs without continuous lines overhead and instead rapidly charges the supercapacitors at each bus stop along the route- a collector raises from the top of the bus and touches an overhead charging line, which only takes about 30-80 seconds to fully charge. It is estimated that this type of bus has 1/10th the energy cost of a diesel bus which can lead to a lifetime fuel savings of $200,000. The capabuses use 40% less electricity than even an electric trolley bus, and cost about 40% less than a lithium-ion bus. Buses are the logical choice for supercapacitor systems for now as they have predictable routes and stop frequently. Advances in supercapacitor energy density could, over time, replace batteries altogether and be used in all forms of portable electronics.

Bob Goldstein, US Nuclear Corp. CEO says, "Grapheton is so confident that their "Glassy Carbon Supercapacitor" will be the badly needed breakthrough to power electric vehicles with an ultra-fast charging capability that they have already started working on building prototypes that they hope will prove their capabilities. There is no guarantee that the prototypes will deliver the power that is expected and required, but if they do, this will be the breakthrough that the entire electric vehicle industry needs in order to replace gasoline powered cars in far more meaningful numbers."

Conclusion

The vehicle market is over a trillion dollars and the semiconductor industry was reported at $513 billion in 2019 and projected to reach $726 billion in 2027. Grapheton is a private company which is 40% owned by US Nuclear. US Nuclear has a market cap of about $14 million and a share price of $.50 as of this writing.
