Here is an article on the debut of the 1st car that will compete in the upcoming (starting sometime this Fall) Formula E series, which is for electric cars.

Of particular note is the video link, where they (eventually) discuss the hoped for "refueling"/recharging process for the competitors: A system which will then be left in the host cities for their use.

All sounds a bit "pie in the sky' to me, but only time will tell.

I agree Indy, but I believe F-1 is really pushing this E series pretty hard in an attempt to have the mentality filter into the consumer markets. BMW has recently released an electric car and I believe it is in the 3-Series. More green krap infiltrating racing.

That is pretty funny ThinkMcFly but have you seen the road test of that F-1 Electric car? Freakin thing does 150 mph and has similar dynamics to the fuel-driven car.
