    i’m not really sure why you’d want a tram with a capacitor 🤔, to avoid overhead wires? 🤔

      Also to avoid wire losses. There’s actually a significant real world efficiency difference between storing the power and charging at designated charging stations (that are also turned off when not in use) vs electrifying the entire route all the time.

        yeah, but if you have wires overhead you don’t need to charge in the first place 🤷‍♀️
