    ...Professional Grade Chainsaws? Cuda...you use these in your business, what are their future regarding gas engines powering them? i'm not talking the little home use, home depot little electric's on a cord...i mean like the pro's use every day all day, that are in the business...the two-strokes.

    I would be interested in this as well. I have seen quite a few commercial landscaping/lawn care contractors move to battery equipment. Battery technology is growing at an exponential pace. I'm in commercial construction. Almost nothing is corded anymore. Last jerb I was on, all the carpenters metal framing chop saws were battery. I'm an electrician, so this is a godsend not having to run temp power everywhere and deal with tripped breakers all day. I would guess within ten years, all but the real big boy chainsaws will be battery as well.

    It's annoying that everyone looks at this as an all or nothing scenario. Ev makes great sense for densely populated areas, fixed routed trucking/transportation, etc. Simple way to control pollution at a source that can be contained. The argument of the electrical grid is pretty funny, as one of the biggest draws on the grid are refineries/ industrial processes. People that look for problems will always find problems. I'm glad we have some people that look for solutions. Battery recycle tech will improve, lifespans will grow, it goes on and on. People get to set in the ways they grew up with. Time moves on, try going with it. It feels good. Go tell the racers at Jasper that lithium batteries are junk.

    I mostly agree. Except that producing the batteries and disposing of them might end up being worse than the pollution from the IC engines they replace.

    We must make the jump to zero point energy if we are to actually achieve any meaningful gains. Batteries are not the answer.


    Traveling faster than the speed of light (superluminal), Scalar Waves are not electromagnetic but composed of pure zero point energy. They also have the potential to be used as a power source. So Scalar Waves can be used for communication, energy, and other applications.

    The cost of drawing energy from a battery is about three times higher than getting it off the AC grid. The calculation includes the cost of the battery, charging it from the grid and budgeting for an eventual replacement.

    ...only reason i brought this up, was that a large tree service, multiple big boom trucks, just pulled up at the next door neighbors. all i been listening to, for the last 3 hours, are 6 screaming chainsaws all going at the same time, then the huge chipper machine winding up & grinding, then all the multiple 2-stroke blowers going wide open, with the whole crew yelling at each other the whole time, over all the super loud equipment! noisey f-ckers! can't hear myself think! lol ...just was thinking about all the tens of thousands of small 2-stroke powered stuff everyone depends on.

    All costs are coming down fast and ten years from now will be dirt cheep,

    Massive Morbark chippers electric quiet, I know a company that runs a 1,200 HP diesel Morbark and it is LOUD,

    In a few years high end communities will force the use of electric everything, yes they have commercial lawn mowers

    Stihl has a battery that is like a purse with a sling.

    Well, if any one here was qualified to make comparisons to a purse with a sling, I guess we can just leave that to you.............

    Where there is power, there will always be noise. Think of all the work that is being accomplished from that noise. Now go and try to accomplish the same amount of work from batteries or from good ol' fashioned manual labor and see how much time and noise that takes.

    It has been at least three years I have seen you posting that it will be 10 years until battery technology will be the schit. Seriously, set a date already and then some of us that have been paying attention will start taking you seriously. Until then, it is ten years til X-C=Z What a Maroon.

    So basically it is a cab and chassis. No mention on range and I love the fallacy of 0 emissions!

    And what could you possibly save in emissions with an electric fire truck?
    They show up at auction 20 years old with 2,000 miles on them; ours do more parades than fires.
