I think the article said CVLR would be battery powered to eliminate the need for overhead cables. I’m not saying I believe it is worse than e.g. and electric bus. But even the company producing it seems to struggle to articulate its advantages.
The reason I care is because I really want more trams in English towns/cities. But not if it’s a pared down version that gives the entire concept a bad image
Smaller batteries that can recharge a bit while the tram is at station is actually pretty cool concept that was tried several times and as far as I remember was deemed working.
But I get your point.
