But still, wouldn't wires over the train make more sense - no distance limits, no charge time, lighter train, no batteries required and perhaps better efficiency. Infrastructure would be one time investment. 🤷♂️
There's still a pay-off time. For inter-city travel where the distance is long or the usage is low, it might be worth doing this, if only in the short term.
It might also break the cycle of no demand leading to no supply leading to no demand etc.
