A team at the University of Glasgow has created a prototype system that could revolutionise travel.
The technology uses a metal oxide – described by researchers as an “exotic rust” – that can be charged with electricity when added to water.
Drivers would use filling stations to refuel their electric cars, driving away instantly once a battery is full.
Prof Lee Cronin, who is part of the research team, said the liquid battery could hold the key to making electric cars a viable option to fossil-fuelled vehicles.
