"reportedly"

That is a very specific model of automobile to make a point, don't you agree?

According to Google, there are 8,288 landscaping business in CA. That seems small, but let's go with it. With the 30M subsidy, that gives each business around $3,500 to upgrade their equipment from gas to electric.

First off, do they even make electric riding mowers? A lithium ion golf cart starts at 14K, so I can imagine a mower would be equivalent.

This isn't including the edgers, blowers, and weed eaters thst need to be upgraded. Not to mention an upgraded trailer to accommodate charging stations.
