Environmental and occupational impact
Battery-powered lawn mowers offer cleaner alternatives to consumers by producing zero emissions, being more efficient, and eliminating risks of spilled gasoline. However, this can be offset due to the process of mining and refining the lithium contained within some models of the batteries. Gasoline-powered lawnmowers are not regulated to have emission-capturing technology.
