    The solution is to hot swap batteries

    I doubt lawn guys average more than 1 lawn every half an hour. Assuming an 8 hour work day, that’s 16 batteries. Yes it sounds like a lot but that’s absolutely an amount you can carry around in a truck and ~$3k in batteries per year isn’t exorbitant when it comes to business expenses.

    Realistically we won’t see places going out of business from this, but you can expect the cost of lawn care to go up a few bucks per service.

      I’m not challenging what you said, but my home office looks out towards this quasi-cul-de-sac thing and most of my neighbors have lawn services. Those dudes park, unload, mow, load, and leave in like 15 minutes. It’s fuckin wild.

        I won’t disagree with that. They’re fast. But they also take a couple minutes of time in between for themselves and have to drive between jobs.
