Good analysis.

It doesn’t say what charges the battery; I’m assuming the diesel engine up front. What’s the power consumption in fuel on that?

“It doesn’t say what charges the battery;”

Per the article: regenerative braking

Article: “The trailer can be charged at either end of the journey, taking 10.5 hours on an AC connection, or as little as 45 minutes using a 350-kW DC fast charger.”

Article: It works with any electric or diesel-powered cab and is perfectly suitable for fleet operations, without any modification to the trucks

Almost certainly regenerative braking via the trailer wheels with electric motors.
