I wonder what kind of chargers Pepsico has installed.
Sure, the ability to charge at 1MW+ is useful, but you won't want to use that often unless you want to spend all of your fuel cost savings replacing batteries. Just like a car, the battery will last a lot longer if you slow charge. But a slow charge on a 900kW battery is still a lot faster than you can get out of standard 240VAC. Pepsico probably wants to do 50-100kW overnight charging on their vehicles.
I wonder if it's something like 1MW of power split between 8 stalls. So if one truck comes in during the day time, it can get a top up at 1MW, but overnight when there are 8 trucks parked, they all charge at 125kW or less.
Charging a battery of this scale at 1MW likely won't have any more significant effect on life span than charging a Model whatever at a normal supercharger (which is negligible assuming thanks to battery temperature management and charge speed tapering).
