The word

The truck is a 1,000kg payload electric with a price tag of $47,000USD and is capable of 60 miles per charge.

Its 13kWh battery pack is lead-acid, adapted from military use in tanks, and can operate at temperatures as low as -20C. They can be swapped out in less than three minutes using a forklift or pallet truck. Batteries can be doubled for a 120 mile range, but reducing payload to 670kg.
