The diesels are still running to charge the batteries, so this too consumes fuel. I think the only way to consume no fuel is to have a full battery charge and not move--I do this some when loitering on station but it is no good for transiting obviously.

Allowing you to recharge at a complete stop without consuming fuel would amount to a free lunch.
