Are there any landscaping or Tree trimming/ Tree removal services that have gone all electric and battery power for all of their equipment?
It would be nice if states would use electric mowers to mow roadsides and grass along highways. If a company can build an electric backhoe to run for 8 hours then they can build a large battery powered mowing tractor
I've recently been shopping for a new tractor. I attempted to contact Solectrac, which is located about 45 minutes from me, but over the course of two weeks, received no response to multiple inquiries. I decided to give up and ordered a John Deere diesel, which was really disappointing. However, I figured that if the company couldn't get back to me for a sale, support might be an issue. Today I finally received a response from them. Go figure. I still may go check them out. I only use about 5 gallons of diesel a year on my property, so it's not a huge amount of fossil fuel, but my tractor is my last fossil fuel implement. It would be great to go electric.
highway mowers go for days and days without being near a charging location. At least the crews I see around here. They mow, get left overnight, and keep mowing the next day.
