you got a lawn tractor that runs on 56V batteries and can pull a car carrier trailer behind it?

I’m doubtful.

And a 24” wide or larger snowblower that can cut through 2 foot deep wet snow and throw it 30 feet or more, let alone last through clearing a 3 car driveway at least twice? I doubt 56V would cut it there, especially in the cold.

Electric has it utility and it is convenient, but it isn’t for everything.

The upfront cost of cordless electric lawn tools that are worth a crap is just prohibitive. Then you have batteries that need replacing every few years as they lose capacity or capability.

2 stroke engines are great if you know how to treat them and maintain them. Maintenance is so simple that it is hardly worth discussing.

If you need such a large snowblower you should move to a more habitable climate

Nothing like a 2stroke dirtbike. I miss my 2014 carbed KTM 300. Nowadays they’re all FI. An electric dirt bike would be tempting though I have to admit. I’d be worn out by the time the battery was probably.

I have a gas leaf blower, and a gas string trimmer and a gas lawnmower, and a gas generator.

Zero interest in replacing them with batteries
