Three or four times as cost effective? Not unless someone starts selling electricity for cheaper.
This is just rubbing up against the laws of physics. If you wanna move a one-point-something ton hunk of metal around it takes a certain amount of energy. All the components are operating at reasonably high efficiency, so you're not going to get a threefold increase in efficiency by any clever tricks.
