Seattle, WA is using wireless streetcars on one direction using batteries for power. Here is an old quote for what they currently doing on their new Capital Hill to Pioneer Square line via Jackson Street......
" Unlike the existing fleet of streetcars, the First Hill Streetcar line will operate using the Overhead lines for the outbound/northbound/uphill leg and under battery power for the inbound/southbound/downhill leg of the route. "
Cheers.
