I was at Home Depot trying to get a gas powered hedge trimmer. I have almost an acre of property, and there are tons and tons of bushes around the house.

Salesman says I should buy electric. I tell him yes, but I’d have to buy another battery or two just so I can do all the work in one day. Which makes it significantly more expensive than gas.

“Ah that’s the thing. You just replace everything with electric, and you get a battery with each device!”

Okay, so, what if I want to cut the grass, do the edging, and trim the hedges in one day? I understand the need to switch to electric and reduce emissions. But the number of towns banning gas powered lawn care equipment is just ignoring the obvious. Electric is simply not practical for anyone with a remotely large property.
