My original purpose for an electric saw was silence. My wife is one of the group of people who find difficulty with cutting trees, either for trimming or removal. The lite off of a gas saw brings questions and scorn. Electric brings happiness to me. It also makes it easier when just a few minutes is needed for saw work.

With the gas mower it's important to empty the tank of gas when you've finished not to leave any in it, I just keep it running until it is stops. |

Ford cuts EV spending, updates launch schedule, including next-gen EV truck delay
Next generation F-150 Lightning is delayed for the second time. Poor grammar is the responsibility of the Detroit News...
https://www.detroitnews.com/story/bu...s/74884474007/ Ford Motor Co. said Wednesday it's cutting capital expenditures in electric vehicles, delaying the launch of its next-generation all-electric pickup truck set to launch in Tennessee and has changed plans for a forthcoming three-row SUV to be hybrid, not all-electric. EV sales are growing, but it's at a slower rate than what the industry had expected as consumers remain hesitant to adopt the alternative powertrain. The Dearborn automaker says the new launch schedule will allow it to introduce the vehicles to be profitable within the first year, adopt advances in battery technology and ensure it can continue to sell vehicles under regulatory greenhouse-gas tailpipe emissions and fuel economy standards.

If you have bamboo shoots that are too close to your neighbours house this gadget is great for removing them then pouring poison into the open shoots. If the roots get to your neighbours house they could sue.

The 2nd battery failed this past Sunday in the exact same manner when I was using the chainsaw. A few months ago, I bought a 4 amp-hour battery to replace the 1st failed 2-amper. Now, both 2-ampers are dead. I think the electric stuff is 4 years old this year. I have a count of 15 ICE-powered lawn care machines, some, like my generator, are over 20 years old and run like the champs they are. My experience is gasoline has a low failure rate*. Batteries... not so much * I leave the topic of E10 gas in the US alone.

Car and Driver reveals 2024 EV of the year. Cybertruck scored a zero because it bricked itself on Day 2 of testing.

The most amazing part about this is that explorer EV was basically done. EVs are selling so poorly it's a better decision to not try tomsell a product that's already been developed.
The other amazing part is that now theyre gonna do a hybrid explorer, which they had and cancelled. They actually had a PHEV Aviator (may or may not have been cancelled, not sure). At least Ford has the sense to do this. GM is diving head first into the shallow end of the pool on EVs. |

My E90 will cover 400 miles at 75 MPH and recharge in 5 minutes nearly anywhere in the US in any weather. Yup, I get it, Yeah, "but how often do I need that?" It doesn't matter, it can do it; that's the bar set. If the market didn't need 400-miles with 5 minute recharging, manufacturers wouldn't make cars with the capability. That's what proEVmandaters don't understand, while they have adjusted to subpar performance levels of range and refill speed, most of the market still wants it.
