Also searching I saw these trucks using overhead electric lines, also in Sweden

- TazeTSchnitzel 9y agoIt seems they're trying a few approaches out to see what works best.
- azernik 9y agoA lot of electric busses in San Francisco also use pantographs, though usually without a substantial battery, meaning they can't disconnect and reconnect like these cars could.
- Animats 9y agoMany of the electric buses in SF do have a backup battery. Not much range, but enough to get it back to the wire if one gets out of position. The older buses needed a tow truck if they became disconnected from power.
