OK...... here’s reality.
I bought an electric lawnmower. It works better than my old Briggs lawnmower . I learned that there were other yard tools that are electric. I bought them all except for a hedge trimmer.
I have two 56 volt batteries and battery power is always at hand
The relief from the chains and trauma of two cycle engines may have added as many as five or even ten years to my life.
Two cycle gasoline engines are pure evil
While I don’t doubt small scale usage by the typical unskilled homeowner is probably easier with electric, it is wholly insufficient for all day usage.
..and how does an electric chain saw work without a chain?
And your point is? Funny how you think two-cycle engines are evil but you don’t mention a word about tyranny. Exactly how is your mind wired?
I disagree....you are just weak.
You must have a manicured yard...
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.
Two cycle gasoline engines worked fine till they forced us onto ethanol
Why do hate the earth and use batteries and polluting electricity.
I have an electric lawn mower and TWO electric chain saws, all of which plug into an electric outlet, and use about a 100’ 14 gauge cord for power supply.
The technology for batteries is just not good enough yet for me to put much trust in them for most high-amperage use. Amperes equal heat, and heat is the enemy of batteries.
Last summer, I bought an electric string trimmer and leaf blower to replace evil gas powered gear that I worked hard over a number of years. I worked the hell out of them. Trivial maintenance required.
Back to the electric…. So now I have shiny new electrics that do half the work, weigh twice as much and cost near 100% more than the gas gear it replaced. I can’t get a full job out of them because the battery runs out and it takes 3 hours to recharge.
I’m not going down the rabbit hole of buying more batteries. It’s a better investment to save up my pennies for pro grade gas gear. Then, I’ll give the electrics to someone I don’t like.
THAT MAY work for you——
But tell that to a LOGGER.

“ I have two 56 volt batteries and battery power is always at hand”
Until it’s not. I also have an EGO mower, trimmer, and blower. I’m down to 2 batteries, the big one and the small one. A replacement battery costs as much as an entire mower.
How many batteries do you think a landscaper will need to put in an 8 hour day? Will he need a gas powered generator to charge batteries throughout the day?

We mow almost 2 acres..... battery powered doesn’t cut it....
