He still has to have gas powered ones as it RAINS and the work still has to get done. Rains ruins the equipment.  The battery powered mowers are way too heavy for commercial use. They sink into any soft ground as the batteries weight a ton, in addition to the moisture issue with electricity and ruts in the yard irritate his customers. Comparisons are difficult on passenger vehicles as they stopped listing curb weight on the spec sheets. Car and track weighted them and the f150 lighting has a 6,500lb curb weight compared to about 4,500-5,000 gas model F150. This would be magnified the larger you go. 

The main reason we are being pushed electricity is you can put a meter on it and control generation easier. Hydrogen is not that way, Norway is putting in refill stations. they are easy for individuals own and operate. Check it out.

The old school oil families do not want the golden goose to die, that is why they are pushing to buy companies like the JEA., also the reason Nexterra bought Florida Power and Light.... LOL

Yeah hydrogen is going to have a place in applications where the fuel tank can be big but can't be heavy.  And lithium batteries are going to have a place where the "fuel tank" can be both big and heavy.  Both will have their place.  Fewer things will be fossil fuel powered in the future.

They can definitely "meter" hydrogen.  They'll make sure you pay, just like any other energy source.
