I did some envelope math and I don't think we need improved supercapacitors, especially not for trucks: we just need a big bank of the ones we have.

All that's required is storage for ~35mph to 0, and you get 95% regen instead of 10%.

Can still shunt to the battery on long descents, but for UPS, this would be perfect.
