This article discusses using a flywheel instead of battery on a hybrid vehicle, but at the end of the article it mentions that Germany is developing house sized flywheel energy storage to compensate for peak EV charging demand.

Oh, man. They did make it uglier! But when my wife asks me what my favorite color for a vehicle is, i always say, the cheaper one. :laughing:

Just sitting here watching all the stranded vehicles in sub zero weather thinking, I'd rather be in a petrol powered vehicle with a full tank than an electric vehicle with charged battery.

lots of people complaining about the new Bolt and Bolt EUV, but they are cheaper than the outgoing model. they are the cheapest EV's in the US market with a decent range, i think the base leaf is cheaper with 100 miles less range. they are going to fill out the lineup, but decided to roll out a budget option first. with typical GM discounts and whatever you should be able to get one of these for 25k ish. cheap enough that if you have a car, and are paying for gas, and you buy one of these and make payments, the payments will be around the cost of the fuel for the other car. makes it nearly free to own.
