Not really as large capacity capacitors (this one seems to be 4V) tend to be low voltage as well. You can touch the terminals without harm but attempting to short them is going to be, er, entertaining. I have accidentally touched a 200V capacitor and it was not fun.
That's interesting. What good is 4V in an EV? You'd need cables as thick as your arm to handle the amperage to do anything useful.
