This technology is great and possibly easily implemented in small European countries with huge populations.

Australia is a logistical nightmare as pointed out in this topic EV Chargers with an informative email from a power authority representative.

A link from the origional article pertaining to Australia.

The 5 trucks will be configured as road trains with an all up weight of 154 tonne, at that weight I would assume they will be operating with an over weight permit.

It does not say in the article but the building of the refuelling infrastructure and the use of these vehicles would be on private property, I would imagine.

It sounds like a great project and should be encouraging to others.
Having said this, it is still a project being propped up by the taxpayer.
