It will take another 10 years or more when they ban gas lawn engine equipment cause take that long to wear them out. Electric blowers are not much quieter cause moving lots of air under pressure makes noise.
It is the spark arrestors that are being removed to increase the performance of gas carts and lawn equipment. Spark arrestors are only required for equipment sold in CA to help reduce wildfires. (That's working out well). Lithium powers is not the long term solution for electric powered cars and equipment. Dry cell batteries will be the long term solution as they have numerous advantages over lithium namely longer range, faster recharge, lighter weight, reduced precious metals, AND no fire danger.
