Scottish scientists have developed a liquid battery that can charge electric cars in seconds. A team at the University of Glasgow created a prototype system that could revolutionize travel.

The technology uses metal oxides - described by researchers as "exotic rust" - can be recharged when added to water.

The driver will use the gas station to refuel the electric car and will drive away as soon as the battery is fully charged.

Research team member Professor Li Cronin said that liquid batteries can be the key to making electric vehicles a viable option for fossil fuel vehicles.

Professor Cronin told the BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland program: "This will overcome a huge cultural inertia - you can refuel immediately in the same way, and now your behavior has not changed.

“Because it is a liquid, it works just like the same infrastructure."If we can ensure that the prototype expands as we expected, it will definitely change the rules of the game."

The driver will use the extraction nozzle at the pump to remove the used "rust" liquid.

They will then use the second nozzle to refill the battery with fresh liquid from the pump.

The Glasgow team said the liquid will provide the same range of miles as traditional fossil fuels.

Professor Cronin said his liquid battery is not as aging as the existing power system.
