But that doesn't work for everything. Jet engines have fans. Electricity is not ready for that. Even a simple snow blower is not ready. Are emergency vehicles ready for electric only? Ambulances, Firetrucks, police cars? Are apartment occupants able to have EVs?
But back to gas blowers. We have landscape folks making a living mowing lawns all day long. They mow, edge, and blow all day long. Is there equipment available that can do that without carrying huge amounts of batteries? Perhaps they could recharge batteries from a gas powered generator on the truck.
Do what you can, but EV's are not yet ready for everyone, Cost, infrastructure, and usefulness.
Your discussion regarding driving behind Gas Carts and arranging your order so you are in front is cute. That must be a discussion item amongst your golfing group

I'm the OP. I said in my post that I am not really "GREEN". so why the personal diatribe??? I went with battery powered due to the efficiency, quiet, no fumes, and ease of use. period. My choice. And yes, we dislike driving behind many gas carts. The fumes, esp in tunnels is not good. I didn't BUY INTO anything. (OBVIOUSLY) yikes.
So yes, it's MY CHOICE including being first on the course cart path if I can.
My choice - free country as they say...
