Wouldn’t adding a cable and avoiding the environmental impact of batteries be better? In some countries lawn equipment has been electric but connected to an outlet for decades.
Mains power in the us is lacking. It works but t power is clearly missing. who cares that the battery takes a long time to charge, you only need it for an hour a day (not even every day) so a battery works well and is always charged without worry about gas or cords.
The cable has environmental impact from copper mining and smelting, and can be impractical for larger lawns.
