Right.  So, say I charged a car using them twice a day, every day.
Weekdays, weekends, holidays, you name it.

Those capacitors last 137 years.

Far longer than the life of the car, or even my life.  Hell...  likely
longer than my life and the life of my longest living child combined.

Effectively, they don't wear out.
