We recently invested in new yard tools. The area I'm in has changed over to "electric only", and I was wary because I didn't figure that a battery pack run tool could be worth a fuck. We have a blower (for yard clippings and fluffy snow removal), mower, and weed whacker.

The big selling point of the tools is the batteries are not only very strong, but interchangeable between all tools. The mower battery, on its own, is enough to mow my front and back yard, weed eat the edges, and then blow it all out, with charge to spare. They all have some good power behind them as well, I never miss a gas powered motor using these. On top of it all, the batteries charge within 2 hours using the basic charger. A speed charger can be bought that does it in 15-30 minutes.

Yes, they're expensive, but they're well worth it. No gas, no spark plugs, just plug in a battery and go.

I had an electric weedwhacker. No battery, you had to plug it in. I loved that thing compared to the two-cycle I was using before. Sure the extension cords were a pain, but not nearly as much as dealing with the two-cycle. Plus it was so quiet compared to the gas.

I don't think people are against electric per say, but it has to make sense and be cost effective. That is why EV don't work for most people. The infrastructure and technology just isn't there yet.
