How do Jump Ebikeshare charge?

Just curious, but how exactly do these bikes recharge if they can be parked anywhere? I rode one before and loved it. But seeing how personal ebikes require a charge from a plug in point, I wanna know what this Ebike Is doing differently.
Can somebody explain that to me so I can understand?

As far as I know they manually swap batteries.

They and other bikeshares are also talking to property owners who are interested in the bike for bringing foot traffic (stores) or as tenant amenities (office, retail).

I had the same question and this article helped to explain the process:

Operationally, the battery packs will provide 62 hours of runtime and will need to be replaced every five days, on average. The battery packs can be recharged within four hours and redeployed.

That must be a typo. Probably meant 62 miles. 62 hours at ten miles per hour would be 620 miles.

Great point. I'm curious how this will play out in the real world.
