ELECTRICITY

STORED IN A

FLYWHEEL

ISRAELI START-UP CHAKRATEC, WITH

WHICH WE PARTNERED UP LAST

YEAR, BRINGS AN INTRIGUING

CHARGING SOLUTION.

Kinetic Power Booster is a flywheel-based energy storage system without the

need for chemical battery cells. This technology makes it possible to charge electric

cars with double the charging power the electricity grid could provide. What’s more,

it can be used in places where the grid’s capacity falls far short of what’s required

for fast charging. Or it can charge two electric cars at “full” speed, whereas

under different circumstances they would have to share the available capacity.

ŠKODASAGITTA:

BETWEEN THE WARS

ŠKODA POPULAR (1934), our First-Republic bestseller, has

continued to grow in terms of displacement and engine power.

In the era between the two world wars, cars were the preserve

of the wealthy. This opened up space for a more affordable

alternative: the 995 POPULAR ‘Liduška’ with a water-cooled

four-cylinder engine. Development began in 1936 with unique

prototypes that the Bohemian manufacturer used

to experiment with unusual drive systems. Two of these socalled ŠKODA SAGITTAs survive to this day.

Last year ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab, in collaboration with Pražská Energetika (PRE),

began pilot operation of the innovative flywheel-based kinetic storage system hooked

up to a fast-charging station. It is the first facility of its type in Czech Republic and the

third in the world.
