ARGH! You can't be more wrong.
This is very basic physics!

If running on electrics charged by the diesels was more efficient then running on diesels that would mean that if you ran off electrics and charged them at the same time you would have a efficiency gain. That would mean that there is additional energy input apart from the diesels. You can not get energy from nowhere.
In real life it is impossible to get efficiency gains by running off electrics charged by diesel. If a SH3 mod changes this then it is extremely unrealistic.
