> I also don't think the battery tech is ready to replace riding lawnmowers (which use quieter, more efficient, less polluting 4-stroke engines anyways)

Well that's the law in California starting 2028. And current tech in riding mowers is just nowhere near what pro landscapers need.



The law clearly says they can’t ban stuff with no feasible commercially available alternatives.

Expect court challenges or an implementation delay if no one has built a good electric contractor-grade mower by 2028.

The consumer-grade ride on ones are apparently pretty good already.


Excellent correction, thank you


I tried a mean green, which is a commercial ev mower. It's nice, better than an ego or whatever, but nothing next to a walker or toro
