Of course not. You might remind them that trains have been electrified
for 100 years with "third rails". Or that city buses have been running
on overhead catenaries for almost that long. Or that amusement parks
have had bumper cars with an electric floor and an overhead mesh since
the 1950's. These are all examples of practical mass produced "tethered"
electric vehicles, designed by our grandfathers and great-grandfathers. :-)
