That’s not an issue in the EU, as it wouldn’t be legal - you’d have driven for too long in one day. It’s not about the size of the place, it’s about the number of hours you’re allowed to drive.

I think they legally have to stop driving for 45 minutes every 4.5 hours in France (or any combinaison with a similar ratio). Which would be perfectly apt to recharge the truck battery!

Yeah, and they can continue to use an ICE truck for those journey types, or top up during their break.
