They're currently being tested on the following routes, which SFMTA views as their most challenging routes:
1 California (trolleybus)
9 San Bruno (biodiesel-electric hybrid)
22 Fillmore (trolleybus)
24 Divisadero (trolleybus)
29 Sunset (biodiesel-electric hybrid)
44 O'Shaughnessy (biodiesel-electric hybrid)
If their goal is to achieve zero emissions and carbon neutrality, then I think it would make sense that after reliability is established, battery electric buses will first replace diesel hybrid buses and then trolley buses.
