Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel
SupraMario@lemmy.world 7 months agoYep, but you’re suggesting that a train which with a diesel motor that weighs that much, wouldn’t be an issue with batteries. If you are going electric, skip the batteries and go over head tram lines and be done with it.

Easy to say when you’re not paying for it.

And you think a train full of batteries is going to be able to do what a fuel locomotive can?

Explain to me why it couldn’t.

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.
