You can charge the iPod in serveral ways. You can use the USB2 cable, or the FireWire cable included with the iPod to charge it. All you have to do is plug it into your computer, and it will charge automagically.
It also comes with a power adapter, into which the FireWire cable plugs. (There's actually a female FireWire port on it.)
The dock is just extra. The USB2 or FireWire cable plugs into the back of the dock, and the iPod is inserted into it. It does the same thing as plugging the iPod directly into your computer does, except also has a Line Out jack on it, so you can hook it up to a stereo.
For your problem, though, all you really need to do is buy a car charger.
A girl-friend of mine wanted to buy an iPod mini, too. I proceeded to explain why it was a waste of money and that she was stupid for even thinking to buy it.
As a matter of fact, about thirty seconds after loading this story I got a call on my Cingular GSM phone from one of my friends who also has a Cingular GSM phone.
OK. I'll give you that. But what do I care if something doesn't get modded up? Of all my seven posts in the past thirteen hours, three got modded to +5, Funny. One more (or one less) doesn't really matter. It's obviously bothering you for some fucked up reason.

It's not just mahjong; it's a mahjong *fight club*. Now you know that's intense.
You must have never seen the sequel.
The company makes drugs for erectile dysfunction. I think it's exactly his sort of thing.
I don't need to. We're in college.
We already dress like crap.
I just meant it was a waste of money in comparison to the 15 GB iPod, which she now owns and is extremely happy with.
The second I can find the cash, I'm probably going to buy a 40 GB iPod.

I made her cry.
Needless to say, I am a great friend.
In Soviet Russia, cliches hate YOU!

Don't blame him. He's probably just from Soviet Russia.
Can you say "slow news day"?
I have a speech impediment, you insensitive clod!
A geek who *can* be replaced by a turnkey application that regular folks can use is hardly a geek.
There has to be a better way than the current solution.

No, I actually have Good karma.
I don't care about karma. Please mod me down appropriately.
Actually, I wasn't hoping to get any karma. I don't give two shits about karma. For some reason you do, which is why you're posting AC. Loser.
You can already bring a 3GHz Pentium 4 to a LAN party in a package that you can carry in one hand. Just buy this.

All right. I'm sorry. I'll try not to do it again.

Bluegrass actually didn't even cross my mind. I don't listen to that shit.
