For me, a trip to the nearest lake is a 100 mile one-way drive! If I'm taking my trailer or my truck camper, then my mileage is in the teens. I know the RR's use electric motors to run the locomotives but they have diesel-electric power systems. The worst thing about the electric cars/trucks is where & how do you recycle the battery? Very challenging situation since you can't just dump them in the nearest land fill. They must be recycled and not all of the components are recyclable --yet.
To me, it seems as though a lot of people have a "solution in search of a problem".
