Chicago has at least one garbage truck that is electric. China has a few thousand. They aren't little trucks either, so it can be done.

So 50-100miles at low speed where drag is negligible. Electric is great for stop and go where it gets nearly the same range as if you ran at a steady 40mph.

Also, it's a govt program so cost and functionality are often not a major consideration to the politico's creating the programs.
