A system is provided for a multi-drop overhead charging of electric vehicles and fault managed power distribution. The system includes at least two overhead wires that extend over a predetermined distance and are configured to bidirectionally distribute power among one or more electric vehicles. The system further includes a mounting arrangement configured to support the at least two overhead wires at a predetermined level above ground and one or more connection interfaces. Each connection interface is configured to contact the at least two overhead wires and connect to a respective electric vehicle to charge a battery therein or to obtain the power from the battery and provide the power to the at least two overhead wires to charge another battery of another electric vehicle.
