Considering how thick fast charging cables for cars are, I don't think it will fly, literally. We could make the cables thinner with high enough voltage I guess. But then we would actually need two wires with proper separation, because unlike with trains, you obviously can't use the ground for the return path. Loose high voltage wires may be a safety problem too.

By comparison glider launch wires are quite thin and light.
