> Worse the capital cost of overhead lines is higher than batteries. Is that really true? My understanding is that the bus systems that use overheads lines do so because it is overall cheaper. And it won’t have the negative issues of batteries (mining, recycling, geopolitics). Yes there is cost to equipping vehicles but it is a small number of larger vehicles which might make the problem easier. I would think the cost of the actual overhead lines is low (it is usually a small part of the costs for building rail for example).
