Most of the trains in W Europe are electric. Electric trains are more
efficient but require far more infrastructure than dies powered ones.

Perhaps, like the hybrid car, the gain comes from storing the energy
from the petrol, while the transportation is not in motion, (e.g. at idle).

My physics teacher in high school said he thought the efficiency advantage
came from the diesel engine operating at it's most efficient RPM.
An electric motor is 90% efficient, a combustion engine is about 30%
efficient, but can

Which is a good point, how many batteries do you need to electrify an
18-wheeler? We'll still be using diesel for 100 years.

Nope. The power that spins the wheels on a freight train is from

It won't be too bad if the charging is done off-peak, but charging millions of
cars on a summer day can choke the electrical grid.
Until you can charge a car in 5 minutes and drive for 300 miles on a charge,
forget about these cars being attractive to the average American.
