First off, you’re comparing 2 small items to each other.

2nd, both are “electric”.

3rd, people will use corded if it’s easy access.  Batteries for these are now quite good, but they do require charging and lose power to handle those torques.  Plus, batteries are still big and cause a handling difficulty such as balance by their bulk.

Don’t scoff.  I made complaints like this about CDs 20 years ago and people looked at me funny like how could I say that?  Where are CDs now?  Those same people are scoffing at how old fashioned they are with my same critiques.

Not that I expect battery power tools to go away, but they are legitimate complaints - except batteries get better so long-term usage is possible without balance problems.

Here in Arizona I've seen ZERO electric yard keeping tools used by the professional landscapers. And they are all over the place. They're all gas powered and for good reason. They are much lighter and more powerful while taking little time to refuel.

The only way they get professionals to use electric is by government outlawing the alternative. Hardly a sales pitch on why they are superior...

And how are commercial cutters going to charge those machines constantly on a run over the whole day?  Generator now, on their trailers?  LOL. tell customers they need to plug in some?  Head back to base and recharge and switch machines?

The commercial grade zero turns run 6-8 hours on a charge with regular grass and 3-4 hours with tall grass 10"+ or higher.  The lawn care service company carries extra batteries that pull out in seconds just like your handheld batteries but bigger. There is a you tube video of a Gravely or Simplicity battery powered zero turn that cut a 3 acre lawn with grass 2 feet high. The commercial lawn car owners was super impressed.

If you read the independent you tube videos of people with lawn care co;s using battery powered zero turns they are all very impressed.

Like the guy told me today in 5 years  all zero turns will be battery powered. No hydraulics to worry about, no belts or hoses to break or wear out. no oil changes etc. No maintenance. No noise or vibration. Lower center of gravity so they are  not as tip prone.

Don't take my word for it read the reviews on youtube.

Check out the new John Deere electric commercial grade zero turns and others.

My BIL is a retired 3 tar general and is now VP of a major defense contactor. All future military vehicles. is going EV  because the advantages are superior over diesel on the battlefield. He cannot tell me what they are working on but he did say current batteries are 3rd generations and they are working on 12 the generation batteries.
He did say they are perfecting batteries that can be changed out on the battlefield in 2 minutes. The zero turn commercial grade mowers a I saw on youtube  are like this. Individual batteries with handles that pull out and  replaced in seconds.
He was at one of the largest defense trade shows in the world in Qatar. Every defense contractor is moving forward with EV's.

I never did say this would happen overnight. ..but ev's are here to stay.

Again if you drove one you would see why. The ride/response etc  is incredible.

So the short answer is you have no idea regarding the question I asked you. It will just be magic that charges those batteries in 6 minutes...

And it just might be that all those defense contractors see dollar bills in replacing massive amounts of fully functional infrastructure regardless of the pros and cons. The military has become very politicized and is chasing goals that have little to do with actually fighting and winning wars.

I just. gave a few examples. Home Depot is going to solar all or most of their stores by 2035.  Chase bank in Columbus put solar over their parking lot and it supplies 90% of their needs. This is a regional office with 10,000 employees. The grid will be fine. The free market will prevail. Toll Brothers said over 30% of their new private home construction is installing solar d that figure is growing each year.

I was at my local power equipment dealer today. He said in 5 years all the zero turns  and mowers sold will be electric. Currently, 75% of their trimmers, leaf blowers, chainsaw s etc sales are electric. No one wants to deal with gas and oil anymore.

Every company is coming out with commercial use electric zero turns.
 
If you drive up Rt 23 out of Columbu Oh into Michigan every other factory is installing solar.

This anti EV & renewables thing with conservatives is truly the  most ignorant stance of all time.

The Black & Decker reference is amusing.  Do you know how much ground they used to build that solar panel farm?  15 acres.  To generate 4.3MW of electricity.

Do you know how scalable that is?

No, I didn't think you did.  F**king idiots like you never do.

For comparison's sake, NYC consumes about 5,500 MW of electricity currently.  That means that, using the B&D plant as a model, in order to run NYC - Just NYC, not any other municipality - would require about 20,000 acres devoted to solar panels.  That's about half the size of Washington, D.C.
