Those BEV trucks come in both swappable battery and fast-charging models. Most support dual chargers for simultaneous charging. A 600kWh battery can be fully charged in about an hour with two 350kW chargers. Two more common 180kW charger takes around two hours. Some trucks even support four chargers at once. But for the small and cheap trucks used in city, they may take 4 hours for charging to run 200km.

I've also know some trucks used in mines that don't even need charging. The electricity generated when descending with a full load is enough to power the empty truck back uphill.

Mines tend to be underground, or then a big hole in the ground, so the truck would be going uphill when fully loaded and down empty, no?

Unless we're talking about a mine up on a mountain?

Yep, on a mountain.
