“Nolte: Almost Half of U.S. Electric Car Owners Regret Purchase...”
Anc the other half will eventually too.
I am regretting buying my Stihl Battery operated hedge trimmer. Not because it did not work great. It did. Right until it stopped. After five years. I only used it about 12 times in those five years.
It took it to the place I purchased it this morning. He stated it would be cheaper to buy a new one than repair this one. That is because it would take a couple hours of labor to take it apart and then put it back together. Then he said that they were made to only last five years. Same with the battery that powers it.
The previous 2 cycle gas Echo hedge trimmer was twenty years old when I sold it. I have a Stihl chain saw I bought in 1990. I have an Echo string trimmer almost that old. I have a Stihl straight shaft brush cutter that is 25 years old.
I have a 1999 John Deere lawn tractor.
My POINT is that all the battery operated equipment in made to have a limited life span. Throw it away after 5-10 years. Just like all the household appliances now.
The other half were still stuck on the road.
