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.

 Trolley buses did.
