Could this be The Answer? With further development this proof of concept could well be the "Green" future of transportation. You'd have spinning stations that could spin up your car in a few minutes instead of waiting forever at charging stations, and no cold weather problems!

Believe it or not, in the 1960s and 1970s this kind of thing was seen as a viable alternative...


if I'm not mistaken , the flywheel directly connects to the wheels, which would make stopping VERY interesting 😆
