Tesla does load balancing and load limiting at its superchargers. Although most
of their stations are rated at 120, 135, or 145 kW, they usually deliver less
based on these factors:
-utility ordered power limits. Drivers see this when their low SoC cars start
out with high kW and in under a min

Robert is right. A flywheel in a vehicle has to be gimballed (like a
gyroscope) so it can remain upright no matter how the car moves. Its
bearing also have to be strong enough
There are a few technical problems with flywheel energy storage and moving
vehicles.There is a term called "precession"It's why a gyroscope stands up when
spinning and doesn't fall over. If you push it over it resists and pushes
back.If you force it over it goes in a different direction. It "wan
As I recall, there was a company that had produced a commercial 30kWh
flywheel storage system. Ideal for peak load shaving,
voltage/frequency stabilisation, and buying off peak to use during the
day etc. Cycle life was essentially infinite with the rotor spinning
on magnetic bearings in an evacuate

, it comes down to which costs less. Again, I'm pretty sure
battery technology will usurp anything mechanical.

I wonder how big a flywheel is needed to store the energy to charge a 250
mile range in 20 minutes?
Since it is fixed, and does not have to be in a vehicle, it might be the
answe
