This supports my stance for the electric vs gas argument. Which basically boils down to use the right tool for the job. Is using an electric blower the correct tool to clear miles of trials, not really. Use gas. Does that Amazon delivery vehicle running stop and go all day need to be gas, no. Use electric. It’s not hard.

For those ev vans specifically they are better but they have some issues with sandy roads in rural areas because they're so heavy.

Literally exactly what this person just said is the advice I give to you: use the correct tool for the job.
