That would be a distinct disadvantage in this case, the entire point is that it sometimes charges on main routes and sometimes takes routes without infrastructure while on battery

Agreed. Though i thinking having both would be highly efficient. 6+lane highways (3+ on each side) should be converted where possible to: Center lane(s) for railways

Second from center lane, this sort of hybrid highway speed trolley power. Outer lane remains non trolly powered vehicles

Theres a good usage for all gradients of transportation, we just need to put them in their right use cases. Not overly rely on one form (rn automobiles)

You could also just expand infrastructure
