oneguynickI am excited for Home Depot to announce and showcase how much better electric power tools can be. Much like EV vs ICE vehicles, in many use cases, the battery-powered devices are far superior, not just green. I am not sure we will see battery-powered long bar chainsaws or sawmills, but this is a great push for most consumers.
The Home Depot Sets Goal for Battery Powered Products to Drive over 85% of Outdoor Lawn Equipment Sales by 2028 | The Home Depot
ATLANTA (June 22, 2023) The Home Depot expects that by the end of fiscal year 2028, more than 85% of U.S. and Canada’s sales in outdoor power equipment, specifically push lawn mowers and handheld outdoor equipment like leaf blowers and trimmers, will run on rechargeable battery technology instead of gas. This transition will reduce over 2,000,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases annually from exhaust pipes of residential lawn equipment.
