Electric Vehicle Fuel Economy

Why don't we have internal combustion/Electric Vehicles?
Most freight trains now have a diesel engine that turns a generator. The electricity generated by the generator is used to turn electric motors at the trains wheels. These trains are capable of hauling massive loads, yet achieving decent fuel economy. I understand that the diesels used are of an extremely high horsepower rating. But why can't we apply the same tech. to autos?
There are very large off-highway dump trucks (Komatsu) that use this driveline.
Those diesels are not used for "extremely high horsepower" but "extremely high TORQUE"

History of the Electric Vehicle $125.85 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The history of the electric vehicle began in the mid19th century. An electrical vehicle held the vehicular land speed record until around 1900. The high cost, low top speed and short range of electric vehicles, compared to later internal combustion vehicles, led to a worldwide decline in their use. At the beginning of the 21st Century, interest in electrical and other alternative fuel vehicles has increased due to growing concern over the problems associated with hydrocarbon fueled vehicles, including damage to the environment caused by their emissions, and the sustainability of the current hydrocarbonbased transportation infrastructure.
