You've specified an 11 hour work window. If, between two people, they spend 50% of that day working with full-throttle leaf blowing, I'm very impressed with their efficiency. Getting around & blowing being that dominant a factor in the day is impressive. That's still 9 batteries tops & they should accept that easily given the very very very very low total cost of ownership, given that they dont need to figure out how to lug a bulk of batteries around & can just carry 1 at a time (the backpack hardware allows for two).
- prepend 4y agoI certainly wish they wouldn’t be so loud early in the morning, but don’t agree on execution :) I think the issue is that buying and managing 9 batteries is much harder than a tank of gas. Not that it’s impossible, but that’s not a realistic path for professionals. We need better batteries before this is a feasible replacement. This is also just a two person company and they own their own business.
- rektide 4y agoThey need to deal & adapt. Having batteries in the truck is not hard. They have a social obligation to a huge number of people to not be disruptive in doing their jobs & it's not at all hard for them to meet that. Gas is not that much easier.
