I am impressed with the stated specs, I'll be more impressed if it can do what it claims.

~730kWh is a lot of stored energy.

For sure - I guess in an ideal world they'd be used for shorter runs between production / delivery nodes. Eg Factory -> Warehouse, Warehouse -> Railhead / Port. There's a bit of downtime as trucks get loaded & unloaded so in an integrated system you could charge at the stops as well I suppose.
