Wouldn't large container ships and trains be the perfect candidates for electrification? Create some sea can sized batteries that can easily be loaded on to and off of the train/ship. The infrastructure already exists for loading them, and they are used to carrying sea cans already. As I understand, ships are huge carbon emitters so if you could load a dozen sea can sized batteries, perhaps it could power it across the Atlantic (or maybe it would take a 1000 sized batteries, which would make it impractical).
