Got an electric mower a few years ago for a small lawn. Quiet, cordless, zero maintenance.
Moved houses and got a bigger lawn. Got an electric riding mower - a big one - to make sure it could handle the lawn in 1 go. It was expensive, but again zero maintenance, no gas, oil etc, always charged and ready to go.
I have been impressed so far. Next up electric car.
Got solar panels to charge my electric devices. I'm aiming for the long game - hoping it'll pay off in the long run both in cost and environmental.
- moistly 5y ago> It was expensive Why not hire a mowing service? Also expensive, but it puts more velocity into the local economy, is much more efficient (all that lithium and plastic to be used for an hour once a week?), and frees up your valuable time.
- david422 5y agoI considered it, but a couple of reasons. 1. cost - compared to the service, the mower should pay for itself in about 2 years, so everything after is saving money. 2. emissions - i want to reduce emissions and the mowing service is not on electric. Both of these have up front costs, but in the long run I think they are worth it.
