Detroit QLine Streetcar - Battery Powered!

The Detroit QLine Streetcar is powered by lithium ion batteries for parts of its 3.3 mile (5.3 km) route. There are catenary electric lines for some sections while other parts don't have wires at all. Also a few stations have overhead power bars for quick charging while the streetcar is making a station stop. This is one of the first rail systems in the world to use battery power for portions of the route!
