Can I charge my car here?

It's has been more than 20 years, we have been exposed with a lot of science fiction movies. One of the most popular is Back to The Future. The movie (and its sequels) told us a time-traveling adventure of a high school student portrayed by Michael J. Fox, who befriend with an eccentric, Enstein-like scientist played by Christopher Lloyd, who invented a time machine from a DeLorean car. In the first movie, the car is powered with plutonium but its second movie showed that the car is improved which only used garbage as its main fuel. This movie is very inspiring, especially for the futuristic time-traveling car, even though many of its fans did not satisfied with its ending, where the car is totally crashed by a mere train. Today, the long memory of futuristic cars, such in the movie, has brought back to life in reality. It's not about cars that can bring us to the past, but cars that not need petroleum as their fuel. Yes, we're going to have cars that powered by electricity and this technology may be widely used by us. Electric cars are commonly run by on-board battery packs and already known by their good performance in speed. Despite of this advantage, the main problem of this technology, the low energy capacity of these batteries making them to have relatively poor range between charge and also need a significantly long time to be recharge. However, a group of Japan Electric Vehicle Club managed to shed a light of new opportunity of this technology using their modified Daihatsu Mira, in an attempt to create a new world record of longest distance electric car traveling without recharging. The car, equipped with a Sanyo lithium ion power system containing more than 8,320 batteries, recorded a distance of 1,003.184 kilometers on a single charge (see the full news here). Therefore, this proves that the challenge of power capacity in electric car can be possibly overcome. On the other hand, many vehicle manufacturers have announced a number of projects in order to commercialize the electric cars. People around the world are now seeking for new alternatives for fossil fuel due to the environment sustainability issues. In fact, U.S. government recently planned to implement and encouraging its citizen to use electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles by 2015 (read the report here). A leading car manufacturing project, Megacity Project, announced that the company is planned to launch a new sub-brand, a sub-specification for all future electric BMW car (read the report here).
