    Range. Plain and simple. It takes 10-15mins to refuel a train, you’re not recharging a massive bank of batteries in 10-15 mins. On top of that, colder areas mean even less range.

      This is a commuter train, they’re not running all day. You have plenty of time overnight and between rush hour peaks to charge your train.
