While I can’t say I have a large yard. My 80v Greenworks system can do the job 90% of the time on 1 battery (I have 2). When it can’t from being lazy and not mowing as often as I should have or it was especially rainy, I can swap the batteries in moments and the battery charges within 20 or so minutes. By then I am done or using the battery from the mower in the leaf blower or weed whacker.
I would imagine if I had a larger yard I would go with a third in the event of having longer grass to cut and would have a battery charged, battery charging, and one in use.
I would not trade my yard system with a gas one for any amount of money. If i do anything it’d be to hire someone that uses electric (quieter!) to mow and edge and all that jazz. Or use a Fiskars reel mower.
Oh yea. I drive an ID.4. Suck it gas stations trolololol.
About $70 I think. I didn’t have to deal with buying an extra battery, cause my original mower was stolen out of my garage. I keep the battery inside to prevent temperature degradation, so I still had it when I bought another mower with the battery included.
Before that I’d just mow half, and do other yardwork while the battery was charging.
I bought it after getting tired of having to fix my old gas mower. The pull cord broke, then the mechanism that it attaches to broke, then the priming bulb cracked and started leaking gas, having to go get gas for it, etc… the electric just works. I don’t have to winterize or fuck with the carburetor, I just press the button and it works. It’s more powerful than my old mower, doesn’t bog down if I skip mowing for a week. It’s better in every way.

On the flipside if your yard is that big you can save a lot on gas.

I have 1/3rd acre, takes 2 batteries to mow uninterrupted. Anything bigger than that I hope it’s not just grass, that’s a waste of space.
