[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, every analysis agrees that electric mowers are generally better for the environment than gas mowers.
There seems to be this thought among people that unless it's completely 100% green, then it is not worth it.

Further, the argument that charging it spews pollution is a bit of a chicken and an egg. The power plants already exists and the amount of energy that a battery draws is minimal.

Compare that to the continual refining of fossil fuels for gas to power the mower Plus the pollution generated locally and  the  energy from the refinery, and electric comes out as a net positive for the environment. In spite of all the talk if " efficiency."

Finally, the battery powered mower has the advantage of moving into the future. That is, as solar panels and more renewable resources become more available for charging, in the long run, the battery is the future

I own an Ego lawnmower.  The selection of a lawnmower should be based on cost/benefit for everyone.  For me, I did not want to deal with the fumes (nor did I want my kids to deal with the fumes when they mow the lawn) so I was willing to pay the extra cost for the electric mower.  On the other hand someone who can strip a gas mower apart buy a used one for $100-$200 would laugh at my choice.  The operating cost differential between the two are minimal to matter.   [/quote]
