Can't we charge the automobiles like our cell phone???
Or are there already some technological innovation on it or is in progress.

I believe that the plug-in concept will only be feasible when the industry comes up with a fast-charge technology.

Up to now, an electric car has been restringed to buses because of the size of batteries and their mobility capabilities. Technological advances are making batteries smaller but the industry doesn't seem to be focusing on the re-fueling network.. imagine going to a "refueling point" in which we would have to wait hours for recharging the battery. This isn't convenient or practical for anyone who drives a car.

Another concept would be a system in which replaces the whole battery from the car. A battery exchange station would replace the no-charge battery of the car to a charged battery in just a few seconds.

I like the idea where you could exchange battery in a station with a charged one within few seconds.

The exchange idea is a good concept. Solar panels at the station can recharge the batteries.

Sure, solar panels.. and the exchange process would be performed with some robotic engineering. It would be like going to a car wash. And while the battery is being swapped, the car could be scanned at the same time.
At the end of the service, we'll have a charged battery and a full car diagnosis.

The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that the cars we drive today sure are obsolete.. and governments around the world are driving the wrong way!

Governments have to change their policies.. they are subsidizing farmers to feed cars instead of people! Their bio-fuel policies are creating a food crisis, devastating forests, habitats.. and bringing entire species to extinction!

We sure need a revolution!

Yeah,

I don't think that biofuel would be a good option. Besides, impact on feeding cars plus mono culture of biofuel grasses would aggravate pest problems due to decline in the population of natural enemies such as predatory and parasitic insects.

Big dimensions, low performances and shirt duration.

These are the reasons why so far we don't see many electric cars around.

Super batteries, charged in solar stations would be a good developement.

Anyway about solar energy we need to be pragmatic. American scientists have calculated that to meet US demamd of energy they would have to cover 200,000 square kilometers with solar panels: a surface equal to 5/9 of Italy !!!

But US have got huge deserts...
The problem would be heavy to solve for Europe and Japan.

Better to think to orbitin solar station which transmit energy to stations on earth.
To put great surfaces of solar panels in the Sahara would generate some security problems: this year the Drakkar didn't start for threats from terrorists ... imagine to protect 200,000 spqare kilometers of energetic plans ...

To meet energy demand worldwide there would have to be a combined effort of various solutions and not just solar. And with this is mind, the U.S. wouldn't have to cover 200,000 sq/klms of their desert.

For Europe, deserts in North Africa could be the solution for its solar energy needs, or its biggest supplier.

An orbiting station beaming energy down to earth is a fascinating idea. And though the concept isn’t new (it was abandoned in the 1970’s because it was considered economically unfeasible), it has a big supporter now: the U.S. military.. they seem to be taking this concept very seriously for national security, energy and environmental reasons.

They also state that “no fundamental scientific breakthroughs are necessary to proceed with the idea and that space-based solar power will be practical in the next few decades.”
