How much space would sufficient supercapacitors require and would they be heavy? Would it add significantly to the cost of a car?

It seems they are quite light, at least according to this guy who built a home-made hybrid car battery using super capacitors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJhJ5TfQ6DU

Or could they even be structural and offset some other components’ weight.
