Challenges Associated with Battery Powered Mowers and Other Electric Landscaping Equipment
Many professional landscapers are understandably resistant to adopting electric models for their landscaping fleets. Here are some of the most common hurdles associated with transitioning from gas to electric power and how Greenworks® Commercial addresses these challenges head on.
Electric Mowers Have Poor Cut Quality
Many electric mowers are not built with the commercial end user in mind, providing lackluster cutting solutions that aren't built to last through grueling commercial jobs. Greenworks® Commercial solves this problem. Every iteration of our battery powered lawn mower comes with literal cutting-edge features. Our cutting technology is purpose-built to deliver the highest quality cut, positioned to rival even the toughest gas models:
- Durable blade technology, made to last during even the longest commercial jobs
- 19K Constant Smart Cutting System™ for consistent, high-quality cuts
Electric Equipment is Not Cost-Effective
Many commercial landscapers struggle to justify the initial investment needed to transition their fleets from gas to electric power. It is true that electric models come with a higher upfront cost compared to their gas counterparts. With a wide range of financing options Greenworks® Commercial helps spread the investment into an electric fleet across time. More importantly, over the long term, models at lower and average prices also can be more cost-effective than gas, even more so if fuel prices rise and batteries continue getting better and cheaper.
Electric Mowers are Less Powerful than Gas Lawn Mowers
Yes, some electric mowers are less powerful than their gas counterparts - but not the Greenworks® Commercial battery powered mower. Our PowrTraq Smart Drive System™ reaches ground speeds of up to 16 MPH and the ability to handle steep 15° slopes. Every mower we've designed is capable of adapting to and dominating tough landscapes.
Electric Mowers Do Not Provide Enough Range
It's true, most electric mowers fall short when it comes to their range of operation, especially regarding commercial applications - but not Greenworks® Commercial. We set out to create the longest-running ZTR in the industry and exceeded even our own expectations. With up to 8 hours of runtime and the ability to cover up to 21 acres on a single charge, we have redefined efficiency in mowing, allowing commercial teams to get more done in a day.

How Long Does an Electric Lawn Mower Last?
Battery powered electric mowers last a good while, usually several years. The key is in the quality of the battery and how often it's charged.
These mowers, powered by lithium-ion batteries, are different from a corded electric mower. They offer flexibility and freedom during operation. Modern electric mowers use lithium-ion batteries, and these can handle lots of charging cycles. With regular care and maintenance, like charging correctly and storing properly, these mowers can stay reliable for a long time.
The exact lifespan depends on factors like how well you take care of the battery, the mower, and how often you use it. Generally, though, battery-powered electric mowers are a durable and eco-friendly option compared to traditional gas mowers.
