ON THE OTHER HAND, you seemed to imply 95% electrification was plausible... so I don't think I got the spirit of your comment wrong. If 50% isn't even plausible, then it's all a bit moot, isn't it? [Also, note that if you have 50% coverage and are charging at 1C, you're also putting 1 cycle on the battery per 2 hours]. I think you're generalizing from a small market, with much less rail in empty space, to a massive market, with lots of rail in empty space, that moves a very large chunk of goods by rail.
