This technology has been talked about lately in the context of Abrams tanks which could potentially be used in Ukraine. Doesn't it burn a lot more fuel?

Yes! But that might be a penalty you’re willing to make versus long turnaround times, especially if you’re in NYC vs a harsh military theater and fueling infra is solved.

The truck doesn’t care if the battery slab is pulled and replaced with another battery or a hybrid powertrain, it just cares it has enough power to accelerate and decelerate.
