Inductive charging does seem quite out of question, but I would not hold my breath for a comeback of overhead power lines. Some cities in Brazil had overhead power lines for trolleys and subsequently trolleybuses, but now IIRC it's only still the case in São Paulo and Santos. Metropolitan railways OTOH are usually electrified, including the Trensurb line that goes from Porto Alegre to Novo Hamburgo.
