All these battery powered mowers and snowblowers being bought and 3 or 4 years down the road being told you need a new 3,4,5,6,7 or $800 dollar new battery. Or even better, you're one of the lucky ones that have your shed burned down or smoked out by a battery fire.

It won’t effect me, I buy a new lawnmower every 2 years

If you don't want that shit, don't buy that shit. Spend your money wisely.

Assholes buying green shit because of their ego are ****s.

Most guys need a mower and go to Home Depot and all they have is electric, you walk out with electric. If you are Northern tier, you maybe shop for one that will use the same battery in your snow blower. The new normal will be that you expect to buy a new expensive battery every 3 years for your shit. And as sure as the sun rises, the battery you need will be superseded and you will have to buy a new mower or take a chance on some Chinese battery hand grenade.

The minority will be the guys that hunt the used ads looking to stay ICE.

You perfectly described our automotive future without trying!

I agree most people are mindless mandroids, barely alive with a shit AI system loaded.

The best thing to do is show up at Home Depot. Look at the battery shavers, and let them know they can **** right off. Then go buy an ICE that you want, used if that's all that's available.
