I’m a fan of ego products. I have the lawn mower and weed eater. Both are excellent. I have a Dewalt electric chainsaw. It is adequate for smaller tasks.
I currently have Ego Power’s Lawn Mower, Leaf Blower, Trimmer, and Snow Blower. Surprisingly good torque, and reasonable battery life for all applications.
Only downside on the mower is it’s mulching capability, doesn’t quite handle leaves like an ICE model. Snowblower is single stage, and doesn’t quite handle the end of driveway pile, but is great for reducing overall workload.

We also use Ego for our lawn mower (non-riding), leaf blower, and snow blower...and have been quite happy with all three.

I also have a couple of Ego products: their non-riding lawnmower and a snow blower. I've had the former for three or four years and the latter since December. Both work quite well, although the battery on the lawnmower has degraded a bit. It still works, but it doesn't last as long as it once did. When I first got it, I didn't know much about maintaining lithium ion batteries, and so I unwittingly abused it pretty badly. The lawnmower and snow blower use the same size batteries (one in the lawnmower, two in the snow blower), so if/when the lawnmower's battery degrades past the point of usability, I'll be able to use the snow blower batteries in the lawnmower.
Consumer Reports has ratings of lawn equipment, including electric variants of most categories for which electric versions are available. Ego tends to do well, but they aren't the only highly-rated electric brand.

For gators or other utility ATV type things these are the only ones I could find:

I have a Ryobi backpack blower, a handheld Ryobi blower, and a Ryobi lawn mower. They are great. I am sound sensitive and gas powered leaf blowers have to go!
Another pleased Ego mower owner. Totally superior to gas for city/suburban sized yards. I did not get the self propelled and I am happy with that. The mower is a lot lighter than an ICE mower so self propelled is just fine for me. You can get an inverter for their packs too, its only 150w I believe, but still a cool product.
Ego lawn edger with 56v monster battery here, Black and Decker 48v leaf blower and shrub trimmer.
Black and Decker chainsaw on a pole, having seen ER injuries I am a bit too careful.
Good old Kubota G2460G 3-cylinder garden tractor is reaching 20 years and has no signs of wanting to die,
mows on 60" deck and pushes snow like a champ with Mercedes Smart self-tensioning snowchains. My son
will inherit it unless ICE get banned by law.
If I were in it for a new tractor this is what I would get:

I’ve had Ryobi 40 volt products for years and highly recommend them.
I have a push mower, chainsaw, hedge trimmer, and a weed whacker (string trimmer). The weed whacker has interchangeable attachments and I have an extension and a pole saw for it.
They all use the same batteries and charger.

Oregon electric chainsaw excellent esp when you are up a ladder or tree. has old style barracuda chain that really cuts efficiently and fast. Lowes 80 volt push mower seems to work fine but here in the rain forest I don't have thick enough grass to provide a challenge. Anyway I stole the 80v motor off it for use on a small 2-stroke outboard boat motor.

I have multiple Ego products. Chain saw, backpack blower, trimmer. I added the Ego Powerstation to use all the batteries during a power outage. NOT a replacement for my Honda 2000 gas generator but a good addition when you don't want to run extension cables out the window. Hers a review.

These are bikes converted with front wheel motors. $150 36v motor and controller runs great on a 40v battery.
