Abstract
The main challenge of hybridizing ultracapacitors (UCs) with batteries in electric vehicles is their uncertain economic viability, besides their complexity and weight, which should be fully addressed. Therefore, this article determines the general condition for achieving a justified economic system, which is held when the average annual cost (AAC) of a battery‐UC system over a vehicle's useful life is lower than the annual cost of a sole‐battery for a specific system design, energy management strategy, vehicle type, and driving style. As such, the energy storage system is designed in a case study vehicle, and the optimal current distribution is found by dynamic programming (DP) under UDDS, HWFET, and US06 driving cycles. Then, by economic analysis, it is indicated that although adding an UC incurs additional costs, it saves the AAC by improving the battery health and prolonging its lifespan up to a maximum of 15‐year calendar life, which proves its economic justification. Investing in UCs is more economically viable for vehicles with severe driving cycles and high current stress. Finally, the DP optimal trajectory is implemented into an experimental setup under the US06 driving cycle to verify the evaluated strategy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
