From the looks of it, they likely have a meter on the truck itself.

AI Overview
In Germany, the electricity bill for electric trucks is generally paid by the company or individual operating the truck, just like with any other vehicle. The cost of electricity is factored into the overall operating costs of the truck, alongside other expenses like maintenance and tolls. While the German government provides subsidies to support the transition to electric trucks, these subsidies primarily cover the initial purchase cost and infrastructure development, according to Worldcrunch and not the ongoing electricity bills.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Government Subsidies:
  .

The German government offers subsidies to encourage the adoption of electric trucks, including funding for charging infrastructure and a portion of the vehicle purchase price. While subsidies help with the initial investment, future vehicles are typically privately financed. The cost of electricity for charging the trucks is ultimately borne by the trucking company or individual who owns and operates the vehicle. The government is also investing in a nationwide network of truck charging stations, but the cost of the electricity used to charge the trucks is not subsidized, according to YouTube. There are tax exemptions in place for the charging of electric vehicles in Germany.

I have no idea what electricity runs, or what fuel costs over there now. But when I was in Germany back in 76 gas was over $4 a gallon (1 mark something a liter). It was somewhere around 80 cents a gallon here I think.

 

Im thinking initially they could set it up on tollways and maybe areas that are normally restricted from truck use like the express lanes in Chicago. Places that oversized vehicles either arent allowed or could be restricted from.
