Overhead Catenary Cables to Charge Electric Lorries.

Zoomup
So, what do readers think of this idea?  Surely those large pantographs cause high wind resistance? Perhaps if the lorries were put on steel rails they would be self steering and free up the roads.

    Sounds horrendously expensive to me.  Trolleybuses worked because buses only followed limited routes.  Trolley trucks would still need big batteries for when they are on minor roads.  It would be cheaper to install fast charging stations at every truck stop.
