I don't think anyone would really consider putting in overhead wires. I guess when you date back to trolleys, whenever they were started—in the 1930s—it was because battery technology was not where it is today.

I think now, with the advancements that have been made, there's really no reason to have that continuous wire there. I don't think I would ever see that being viable.
