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.

You might be able to put more in series if the tolerance of the capacitance value is low enough.

Otherwise, you can use a step-up voltage converter to generate a voltage as high as you want, in order to distribute power at greater distances. You can make bidirectional converters, which work as step-down converters for charging and as step-up converters for discharging.
