I'm scalping my front yard today (thick, thick Bermuda), using my EGO battery-powered lawn mower. Mind you, I dropped the blade down to 1 from 3 (my normal mowing level), giving you an idea of the height of the grass. It is putting a workload on that rascal. I had to set the self-propelled motor to about as slow as it will go, just to be sure and get a really good cut the first go-round. I had to stop to recharge the battery and I'm only about half-done.
One thing I haven't yet done this year is to sharpen the blade. I may just replace it with a new one. That may be factoring into some of the load. I think it is minor, though.
But... just sharing the experience. I like using the mower, a lot. It is quiet and does a great job. Under normal circumstances I can mow my entire yard, front and back, on a single charge. The front yard is big enough, and the Bermuda is extremely healthy and thick, that it is putting that thing to work, though, and it is going to take at least 2 full charges.
That said... I'm not a climate zealot nor anything. I would never buy an electric car. I bought a few battery-powered lawn tools, though, because I got sick and tired of all of the problems I kept having with gas-powered tools. As someone who was once showing me their battery-powered mower when I was mulling over the thought of getting one.... as he pushed the start button and it began to whir... "And it starts every single time".
That's what I'm talkin' about.
