Magnalev trains need to shift a lot more power through the inductive link, and it doesn't seem to make them impractical

Correct me if you have a better source, but the information I can find suggests that the power for a maglev train is supplied to electromagnets in the track.

Which means **** all power is supplied to the train.
I have a memory of seeing one in the past where the train had a pair of contacts onto overhead wires, though I can't find it. But again, no power through induction.
