I don’t have an electric car, but my electric lawnmower is a big improvement over gas lawnmowers.
Starts every time with a push of a button. No trips to the gas station to fill a gas can. Quieter. Much less polluting (small gas engines burn dirtier than vehicles with catalytic converters). Loads of torque for getting through the grass when it’s taller than usual.
I’m sure some rural people are itching to post “I have 50 acres to mow and an electric mower won’t do it!!!!!!!!!” That’s irrelevant. The majority of Americans live in the suburbs where an electric mower does the job perfectly well. Our house is on a half acre lot.
