It's been the case for a long time, problem has been the weight of the batteries or how to create the electricity for the engines. In cases like train locomotives they don't care about weight, a big diesel drives the alternator to provide AC to the electric motors.
Alone the 5 or 6000 hp diesel in a locomotive wouldn't get you very far or very fast.
