LOL!! EV range not only reduced in cold, ALSO reduced in HEAT!!

Go to buy a chain saw, there are now more electric options than gas. Check out the latest lawn mower offerings -- again, electric outnumber the gas offerings. I happen to be an engineer in the electric motor arena, and am trying to make these things actually make financial and practical sense to more folks. My stuff isn't on the market yet. When it is, you'll change your tune for sure.

As a professional, I see massive opportunity in battery powered applications for all of the reasons that prompted you to make the quoted post. Personally, I have a battery powered chain saw, lawn mower, and a few power tools; but no EV in the driveway. I have an '84 Dodge Rampage slated for an EV conversion to showcase our company's stuff, but it's but a mere shell right now. I have a catalog of products I've been commissioned to create that makes the whole "battery powered" more attractive. Oh, and I have a flat chest and no man bun.

Here is a "private" video intended for business clients that hints at the direction I'm going:

As a Professional Tech for over 36yrs. 'til I left it behind a couple yrs. back, and one that does everything that needs & gets done to both houses/properties I own, the cordless tool has it's place. When it comes to chainsaws & lawnmowers(I have both, DeWalts), and using tools in freezing temps(I do, DeWalts/Mac, Matco, Cornwell, Snap-On, B&D, etc.), You'd have to have plenty of back-up batteries in a climate controlled environment to rival the amount of work that can be kicked out by gasoline powered equipment(incl. fuel powered air compressor). Extra batteries are BIG F'n $$$ Dude, and don't last 1/2 as long in cold temps, hot temps the good equipment reduces power & cuts it off early to protect the batteries from overheating.
There's no chance I'd use an E-mower or chainsaw to earn a living, or for emergency use, it has it's place but cannot REPLACE the quality fuel equipment...not even close.
