The energy density is no more than 10Wh/kg. Compare that with 300Wh/kg for advanced Li-ion batteries.
Yes the power capability is very high, but supercapacitors on their own cannot deliver that power for any sustained amount of time.
They can be a good power buffer in combination with Li-ion batteries, but will never replace them.
