its a misconception. They did do so at one location that I've seen citations for, a very large installation in socal that presumably needed more power than the grid could provide without upgraded infrastructure nearby, and supposedly they upgraded that one and haven't done so in years.
The vast vast majority are definitely just running off the grid but someone seems to have started a rumor that all the big transformer cabinets around the stations are actually housing generators.
They run diesel generators? Lol would be funny if cubertrucks are emitting more CO2 normal trucks.
