Why is there such demand for the ICE ones? The electric ones are cheaper (new at least) and cost a fraction of the operating and maintenance cost. Plus you can now have good reason to ask for outlet/power access at job sites so you don't even pay that cost anymore.
This probably doesn't effect used /existing stock either.
- nemo44x 5y agoTo your point about an outlet - what about jobs where this would require a couple hundred feet of line? My landscaper recently told me the gas ones are still far more effective. I assume he would know? They go from site to site every day, I’m guessing they don’t have time to charge and want the best tool for their job as all of us do.
- bombcar 5y agoThe gas ones run all day on a single fillup and no need to charge batteries. You’re talking changing a hour job into potentially longer from battery swaps and asking for plugs, etc. And in general the gas ones are cheaper but that is getting closer.
