So you think they should buy triple the number of battery packs they actually need, in order to support snow plowing 3 or 4 times a year?

Oh, and don't forget creating fully staffed battery depots scattered around the already very full city?

It is not just for snow plowing. It is also for garbage collection. At snow plow time, other city fleets of trucks are not moving. So that supplies the other battery packs.
