There has been renewed interest in hydraulic storage systems since evidence has been presented that shows that they have the distinct advantages of high energy output and energy recuperation compared to electrical energy recovery systems, which are widely applied in electric vehicles; however, they are known to be high-cost, with a complicated structure and not zero carbon.

When a flywheel is used entirely for its effects on the attitude of a vehicle, rather than for energy storage, it is called a reaction wheel or a control moment gyroscope.OverviewFlywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor () to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as . When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotatio. .
A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by connected to a . The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a to reduce friction an. .
Compared with other ways to store electricity, FES systems have long lifetimes (lasting decades with little or no maintenance; full-cycle lifetimes quoted for flywheels range from in excess of 10 , up to 10 , cycles of use. .
In the 1950s, flywheel-powered buses, known as , were used in () and () and there is ongoing research to make flywheel systems that are smaller, lighter, cheaper and have a great. [pdf]
