Adding the onboard generator adds more complexity and more service center visits..
Diesel-electric locomotives and submarines demonstrate very conclusively that you are wrong. I doubt that you can name anything more reliable than either How many times have you heard of a wrecker being sent out for either one?
And they are not nearly as complicated as what an electric grid that can service every auto and every truck and every piece of farm equipment, construction equipment plus heat every house in the US would be.
The photos of lithium mines, mining for maybe a .01% of future needs (a guess just to make a point) should be enough to make any reasonable person ponder the difficulties.

You: Diesel-electric locomotives and submarines demonstrate very conclusively that you are wrong.

Same grid that powers your house ...
