Edison batteries (Ni-Fe), have a proven record of safely lasting for 20 years or more. When I was a little kid, my father would take me with him when he went shopping near Grand Central Terminal for photo supplies and equipment. The Railway Express Agency used EV delivery trucks in the GCT area from about the end of WWI until 1960. Dad would point them out to me. Same trucks, same batteries. My hometown has a sludge plant and there has been some talk of capturing the gas and using that to produce electricity. Worth considering. We once had a coal gas plant. Not so bad and could be improved on.

I'll look up those Edison batteries, thank you
