A good bit to know is the power/energy requirements for vehicles is logarithmic. Large vehicles need less energy per unit weight than smaller ones.

A motorcycle might have 300hp per ton. Passenger car 100hp/ton. Train maybe 20hp/ton. South Dakota-class battleship is 3hp/ton.

So yeah size isn't an impediment to electrification.
