I’ll never to these id$&! In California, or in DC, or NY and other states.
EV’s won’t be ready for prime time for another 1 to 2 decades. Range is low (it’s only 80% of what an EV states is their range), still takes 10 times longer to charge up compared to filling up with gas, not enough chargers, and battery technology is still hazardous waste when time for replacement. I know companies in the west that had to buy 2 EV semis to replace 1 diesel semi because the EV wouldn’t last the full day, so they have an EV semi charging ready to tackle the last 1/2 the day deliveries.
Battery powered leaf blowers are not there yet. There is no battery powered backpack leaf blower that can compete with the gas backpack blowers.
As for gas golf carts, they are quiet, you can’t smell them, long range, and gas is available. My gas cart will outlast an EV golf cart’s battery and it will cost $3000-$4000 to replace the lithium battery in a golf cart plus it’s hazardous waste, dirtying up our water supply.
