Leading the charge for electric lawn equipment

September 6, 2019

Compared to traditional gas-powered lawn equipment, electric counterparts boast several advantages.

  • Longer life span
  • Easier maintenance
  • Less noise pollution
  • Less carbon dioxide emissions
  • Power plants are more efficient than gas-powered lawn mowers, yielding lower emissions for electric mowers.
  • Using a gas-powered leaf blower for just a half hour produces about the same amount of emissions as driving a big pick-up truck 3,900 miles, according to a study from Edmunds.1
  • Electric lawn equipment is ideal for smaller yards (less than a half-acre in size).
