TLDR; they use e-bike batteries for electrical power rather than gasoline generators.

...and it costs them about the same as it does to use gas, but without the noise, fumes and maintenance gas generators use.

They use the e-bike battery swap stations so they don't have to worry about charging. Payment is via a subscription model

Cool stuff, I wonder how easy it is to retrofit those trucks and how that adapter works. Does anyone have any idea?
