| Comment | with over 50 years experience in california landscape care our company Hanson Palms llc wanted to voice our opposition to not only the extreme shortness of time to change over to all electric equipment but the basic misunderstanding of commerical care of landscapes in california . Point 1 there are no battery powered equipment that are capable of being carried by a single person that will function as a replacement for gas power backback blowers, The units would be extremely heavy, require charging stations that are mobile on the trucks and be 30 % more expensive min. Point 2 other equipment such as parking lot sweepers, which are gas powered cannot be used because of the size of the machines prohibits their use in small areas . Point 3 there is currently no equipment avalable to mow large pasture like areas of turf or clean up cramped small areas . How can the state of California impose replacement guidelines when there is no alternative equipment available. |
