    In other words they’re testing what the Zurich city public transport system has been doing for years (as well as trams taking power from overhead cables, some bus routes do too)?

      Yeah, this is inspired by Trolleybuses. It is smart because you don’t require massive batteries but at the same time you don’t lose the flexibility of being able to delivery directly from door to door…
