I have a rechargeable lawn mower, weed whacker and leaf blower, next year it will be a cordless chainsaw, holy shit are they nice. I like the worx brand…the batteries are all interchangeable. I hate gas mowers…noisy and fucking stinky.
It's a great idea, and it's something which should be done to all gas vehicles, after sufficient investment in e-infrastructure.
Ironically, the companies with the best existing infrastructure to modify for recharging electric vehicles, are the oil companies. And the companies with the best existing infrastructure to modify to manufacturing electric vehicles, are the auto companies. Brave moves like Ford's will catalyze the demand for recharging stations, which hopefully proliferate quickly so the auto industry can jump on the Ford bandwagon. Seems to me in the case of climate change, business-led progress is a carrot, while government-led progress is a stick.
That will be the key. In bigger cities there are already some charging stations, but once you get out in the rural areas, it is non existent. The closest city to my house that has public charging ports in 16 miles away, and they only have a couple of ports. The next closest town that has them is 40 miles away, and they only have a couple as well.
Rural areas are a concern, for sure. Surprisingly, the small city I live near (Placerville, population about 12,000) has three charging stations. But then, this is California so I can imagine that in some states, rural charging stations are a ways off.

Fantastic! I really would love to say goodby to "noisy and fucking stinky" gas powered shit like that!
It’s definitely the way to go when doing yard work. And the price is not all that much more than a gas mower…

The oil companies are starting to add electric charging stations. As the need grows, so will the infrastructure. The oil companies like making money, so it’s safe to assume they transition as the need is there. We are along ways off from banning ICE vehicles, unless you plan on buying electric vehicles for low income and poor folks…because that’s will be a big challenge…affordability.

Don't forget that unlike a gas vehicle, which requires you to go to a gas station to refill, you can trickle charge at home. I'm three hours north of Toronto, about four hours from Ottawa, and when my friend comes in her Tesla, she plugs it into our standard wall outlet, and she's good to get back to Ottawa three days later. If we had a 240V connection available, she could've used that and she could've left in ten hours, I believe.
I'm not saying this is perfect, but I do believe that the rural issues can and will be mitigated, as will cost concerns as the volume of production increases and the climate regulations inevitably become more stringent.

Will this finally quell the senseless blather of global warming deniers? Perhaps not, but it does a good job of illustrating how pointless it is to argue with them:
‘Case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans
Trawl of 90,000 studies finds consensus, leading to call for Facebook and Twitter to curb disinformation
The scientific consensus that humans are altering
the climate has passed 99.9%, according to research that strengthens the
case for global action at the Cop26 summit in Glasgow.
The
degree of scientific certainty about the impact of greenhouse gases is
now similar to the level of agreement on evolution and plate tectonics,
the authors say, based on a survey of nearly 90,000 climate-related
studies. This means there is practically no doubt among experts that
burning fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, coal, peat and trees, is heating
the planet and causing more extreme weather.
A
previous survey in 2013 showed 97% of studies published between 1991
and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering Earth’s
climate.
This has been updated and expanded by the study by
Cornell University that shows the tiny minority of sceptical voices has
diminished to almost nothing as evidence mounts of the link between
fossil-fuel burning and climate disruption.
The
latest survey of peer-reviewed literature published from 2012 to
November 2020 was conducted in two stages. First, the researchers
examined a random sample of 3,000 studies, in which they found only
found four papers that were sceptical that the climate crisis was caused
by humans. Second, they searched the full database of 88,125 studies
for keywords linked to climate scepticism such as “natural cycles” and
“cosmic rays”, which yielded 28 papers, all published in minor journals.
The authors said their study, published on Tuesday in the journal Environmental Research Letters, showed scepticism among experts is now vanishingly small.

No anger here. You are not stopping global warming.. the carbon tax is the greatest scam perpetrated by the government.
On the bright side it's a beautiful day here in Southern Ontario...just cut my grass. Our winters here are definitely shorter, but that's a good thing...Canada has too much winter.

in southern Ontario all we do is expand highways and then we fill them up again. And highways are expensive and hard on the environment.

I agree with you here (and actually think even more parts of Canada could leverage this). I think this would also be a major economic boom, and could potentially catalyze some new urban centres across the country. For young people who want the urban life, the promise of access to urban life makes the more affordable rural living much more compelling.
