It is not surprising that if you want to replace fossil fuels, you will need longer duration storage than 4 hours. Batteries are getting better at doing this: FE-air batteries can deliver 100 hours of output and Li-ion is no longer limited to 4 hours. reneweconomy.com.au/sweet-spot-f...

Sweet spot for battery storage now 7 hours - growing to 8.5 hours - as coal exit looms
AEMO wants future batteries to deliver 7 hours of storage to fill gaps as coal exists, and is forecasting this duration to keep climbing in the 2030s.

In 1914 there were so many electric cars in Sydney that Sydney City Council set up a charging station in Palmer St. This car was built in Detroit in 1917 and shipped to Australia. The family who owned it used it until the 1940s. This is what was taken from us.
Detroit Electric brougham electric car, made by Anderson Electric Car Co, Detroit, Michigan, United States of America, 1917.

It looks like a glass and wood turret on a horseless hansom cab, replete with actual coach lamps. The paint looks like old black Chinese cabinet lacquer. Same car from the sides something very Addams Family about it. The spoked wheels must be something like 25", it sits a mile off the ground.Rear of the same car. No idea if that bulge is for an engine or a battery.
