Nice photo.
They're all identically electric buses. The only difference is how the 'lectricity is supplied - from overhead wires, from batteries, or a combination of both. An outlier is batteries charged by onboard fuel cell, which is finding it difficult to prove itself. All methods have pluses and minuses. The combination is the most efficient and cost effective. The thing is that, in spite of having those sticks on the roof, you no longer call them trolleybuses. They're IMC battery buses. The word "trolleybus" has become perjorative!
