Lets just say that the difference in your small yard and my larger property is equivalent to the difference between driving 4 miles to work and driving 25 miles to work.
If I have a really small yard, I might consider an electric mower...as I might consider an electric car if I only drove a few miles to work...in a sunshine state...and I had another car in case I wanted to take a day trip somewhere.
But that’s a lot of caveats.

78% of Americans have a daily round-trip commute of under 40 miles. This is covered nicely with the Volt since it has about 40 miles of electric range and then switches to a 340 mile gas tank if you need to go further.
Basically it gives you the benefits of an electric car and a gasoline car in one.
But I don’t have a small yard! And I also drive 25 miles to work!
My point was the electric tools are fine for some jobs.
Batteries simply haven’t comparable energy storage at comparable cost to hydrocarbon fuels and therefore make sense only in very limited situations.
It is evil of some like the RomanWarCriminal to have the government steal my earnings to pay for their electric toy cars.The Founders would not have approved.
