I have been using battery-powered blowers for the last 10 years
when the City of Santa Monica introduced their ordinance.  These
blowers are quieter and you don't smell the gasoline fumes in the
air, particularly when multiple companies are servicing clients on
the same days throughout the weeks.  There is also less fire danger
using battery-operated blowers when red zone ordinances are in
effect.

I think there should be some funding available to help smaller
companies transition to gas-powered leaf blowers as well.  The
batteries are the most expensive part of the equation and the
higher the wattage, the more expensive.  They also need to have
multiple batteries and chargers that charge quickly so that the
same number of clients can be serviced on their regular schedules.
