Using battery powered streetcars is a solution in search of a problem. It will add cost and a huge amount of weight to the streetcars, as well as require the streetcars batteries to be replaced at high cost during their midlife refresh. Assuming a 25 year lifespan, the batteries may require replacement before that point.
While it makes sense where a historic district, say in Paris or other old city center may mandate no overhead wires, that doesn't apply to Portland.
