 First off would you be willing to pay two to three times more to
have your landscape maintained? The cost to a landscape contractor
would be enormous. Just the cost of battery equipment alone is two
to three time higher than gas powered equipment just for the basic
unit, battery and charger. They would still need to buy additional
batteries and charger's because one battery wont last more than an
90 minutes. In addition they would need a way to charge the
batteries in the field. There are not enough manufacture's out
there that off an option to use the car ot truck battery. Which
means they would have to use either a Generator (Which I understand
is on the list of gas powered equipment to be banned). Or use
electricity and the clients location to charge there batteries.

  Please also keep in mind that if Landscapers would need to do
clean up by using rakes instead of blowers, they would need to
possibly double there staffing to get the job done in the same
amount of time. This would increase the cost of the contractors
operating expense's. Not just in employee slaveries but in Workers
Compensation Insurance, additional vehicles and fuel cost.
