Particularly for a contractor who uses it all day with no opportunity to recharge, they would need enough batteries to last all day. Not cheap at all.

- bluGill 10mo agoUpfront not cheap, but long term they are not paying for gas and so it pays for itself. (a contractor will rig a dozen chargers onto the trailer and plug that in when they get home each night)
- kjkjadksj 10mo agoI doubt they are as serviceable as the stihl equipment they’ve been used to working with for years now. There is a reason why commercial stihl equipment in particular is practically standard issue among landscapers.
- bluGill 10mo agoStihl makes battery operated equipment, including backpacks that can go all day. For the largest chainsaws gas is more powerful, but for most uses electric is just as powerful.
- kjkjadksj 10mo agoEven with stihl I am not so sure they would be so servicable. You could rebuild that stihl gas engine yourself with a little knowhow and that is generally not the case in the electric device age.
