Very interesting article about this flawed concept in Autocar this week

There's nothing wrong with the concept, we just need better batteries.

Err, no. The concept is totally flawed. All it does is move the pollution
about. They're certainly no more energy efficient than a small diesel of
similar performance.

They are. If your power station efficiency including tranmissions loses is
better than the diesl in a car, you gave a net gain.

Calculations show this is indeed the case.
