I'm curious where the batteries will come from and what the maintenance for those will be like. Hopefully it's something manageable.

Probably China, like all other batteries. China has a huge fleet of electric busses already and has been running them for years. The logistical problems have already been solved, so it will largely be a matter of getting charging infrastructure built out at the transit sheds.
