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

Obviously you didn’t read the article.
“It doesn’t say what charges the battery; I’m assuming the diesel engine up front.”
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.”
“I’m assuming the diesel engine up front. What’s the power consumption in fuel on that?”
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.
