I've found the "electric trucker" youtube channel informative about the current reality of electric heavy trucking. He operates in continental Europe, but he and his logistics company has found that charging fits during the legally mandated breaks that diesel drivers, too, have to take. Of course, something like long haul on the Australian outback is going to take longer to electrify.
I agree this article is more marketing fluff with few details, but the application is obviously meant for more short-range work. Think running containers from the shipping ports or railways to warehouse distribution centers. This obviously doesn't cover long-haul, but supporting short-haul will eventually build much of the necessary infrastructure required to support long-haul as well.
