Seattle actually does this. You have some hybrid routes as well where buses will operate off of diesel for part of their route, then hook up to the overhead wires before going through tunnels downtown. Some routes outside the underground downtown core also run wires.
OTOH, a few charging spots might be cheaper/more flexible if you've got a wide variety of routes.
