== Summary ==

Levistor has gained a license to patented, flywheel energy storage technology, which is being further developed to enable electric vehicles to get 100 miles of charge in 5 minutes.

Levistor now holds the license to facilitate the commercialisation of this technology. The unique design allows the flywheel to spin faster than the speed of sound levitating on magnetic bearing technology.By 2030, nearly all new vehicles will be electric but according to a survey by Kwikfit, the no.1 thing stopping motorists switching to an EV is a lack of fast charge points & subsequent range anxiety.
