But, "they" gave names..... Sry. As others have noted, the 200 hour battery warranty number is a little worrisome. I'd think JD would want to ensure consumer confidence by providing better. I'm not seeing a performance or big operability advantage to drive interest. I guess/assume...

Not sure if you were serious or not, but assuming yes... Scientists detected a "hole" in the ozone layer in the 80's. Not a scam. Relatively quick (for multinational) International agreements (Montreal protocol) were put in place, monitored, and are being updated to limit the use and...

Yeah, even the most optimistic benefits of battery (or hydrogen, etc) powered vehicles and equipment isn't enough on its own. Many other important sources of ghg emisisons to also address. Its certainly possible to screw up the battery supply chain and electrical grid development and not...

Battery power cars are pricey, long trips are a concern, though less for Tesla owners. Maint/Quality of all the new ev's is a concern. Charging costs are a concern, but home charging can be really cheap (<< half of ICE) depending on your utility. EV's are definitely not a scam, though...

Want to be clear, I'm just guessing JD will recommend you leave it plugged in to maintain the charge (and I speculate) not get too cold. Also thinking about how Li battery capacity is affected by cold weather. I'd expect somewhat noticeable power losses in cold weather, not much in the...

Definitely Li battery, but don't see what Li technology they are using listed anywhere. While there is a need/desire for maximum energy density in cars, I don't see that in a mower. I expect JD will use LFP battery technology (or something like that) where there isn't much of a fire or...
