Yes this entire thing is a hullabaloo over a soon to be solved problem. All ICE devices are more expensive than battery based ones fundamentally, it's just that the economies of scale and battery tech is still a couple notches down. Well, and the battery based devices are "luxury" versions of the "dirty ICE" variants, so they currently command a ridiculous premium. I keep waiting for plunging battery economics to come to eGo battery packs and they don't. This isn't just someone bitching about prices of a lock-in tool company, lawncare is a MASSIVE carbon and air pollution problem, and switchover costs to non-ICE tools is much less of a lift than a 30,000$ car. Like ebikes, there should be aggressive incentives for consumers to get electric tools for lawn care, and aggressive pressure on companies to drop battery pack prices. And like the torque advantage of electric motors in cars for racing off the line, the EV torque advantage typically provides a superior tool.
