I have cordless power tools that always need a charge before I can use them as I do not use them much and the battery runs down.
I have power tools with cords that I end up using.

Plus, I’ve even replaced all my electric garden tools with gas ones. I can’t stand how they lose power so quickly.

I much prefer gas tools, exceot for the leaf blower. For some reason, I prefer that guy to be electric.

Well, all the car companies are saying they are done with gas engines. This fall we will see many new models, some that do 0 to sixty in two seconds, and a 400 mile range.

It’s nothing new.

I don’t see how the nitwits who want to ban small, gasoline-powered engines get traction. Electric power tools might be fine for home use, but if you’re a landscaper, you can’t afford to be charging them every time you turn around.

Corporations are just playing the woke game. Ice will not go away. I don’t to want be in the middle of no where trying to find a charge station. I don’t want to wait 4, 6, 12 hours for a recharge. I don’t to want bring an electric generator for my car on camping trips. I want, heat and air conditioning in my vehicle without worrying if I’m draining the battery. I want all the convenience of an ice vehicle all the time. I don’t want to settle for an ev.
