Battery electric trains also greatly reduce the cost of rail electrification. They can charge when running under the wires, then use battery power on unnelectrified sections and branch lines.

I’d imagine you would only need a relatively short section of powered rail around each station, plus maybe some boosters for long inter-station runs or hills. I’m surprised this approach isn’t more common.
