-- As 2025 progresses, Canadian homeowners are making the switch from gas to battery lawn mowers in record numbers. With Greenworks' advanced battery technology now matching gas power while offering superior convenience and environmental benefits, the choice has never been clearer.
When comparing performance between battery and gas mowers, battery technology offers significant advantages in power delivery. Battery mowers provide instant torque delivery with consistent power throughout use, especially with the 80V platform that matches gas performance without any power loss as the battery depletes. Gas mowers, on the other hand, have variable power based on fuel mix, performance that degrades with engine wear, sensitivity to altitude and temperature changes, and require warm-up time before optimal operation.
Runtime analysis shows that battery lawn mowers offer impressive operating times with the 80V platform providing up to 60 minutes of continuous use, 60V models delivering 45-50 minutes of typical runtime, and 40V options running 30-40 minutes for smaller yards. Battery mowers also allow quick battery swapping for extended use. Gas mowers typically run 45-90 minutes depending on tank size but require storing gasoline, dealing with fuel degradation over time, and seasonal fuel preparation.
The cost analysis over five years reveals compelling financial benefits for battery mowers. Initial investment ranges from $199-$719.99 CAD for battery mowers including battery and charger, compared to $300-$800 CAD for gas mowers plus ongoing fuel costs. Annual operating costs for battery mowers are only $15-25 CAD in electricity, while gas mowers cost $80-150 CAD annually for fuel, oil, and maintenance. The total five-year cost for battery mowers is $275-$844.99 CAD compared to $700-$1,550 CAD for gas mowers.
Environmental impact strongly favors battery lawn mowers, which produce zero direct emissions, have no fuel spillage or waste, reduce noise pollution by 60%, require no oil changes, and feature recyclable battery components. Gas mowers produce 11 times more pollution than cars per hour of operation, create fuel spillage and evaporation issues, require oil disposal, contribute to noise pollution concerns, and have a significantly higher carbon footprint.
User experience comparison shows battery mowers excel in convenience with push-button start that works every time, compared to gas mowers that often require multiple pull cord attempts. Maintenance requirements are minimal for battery mowers, needing only blade sharpening and deck cleaning, while gas mowers require oil changes, spark plug replacement, air filter maintenance, and carburetor servicing. Storage is simpler with battery mowers requiring only clean, dry storage compared to gas mowers that need fuel stabilizer and seasonal preparation.
Greenworks battery platform advantages span three main categories. The 80V Professional Series, including the 80V 21" Brushless Self-Propelled Lawn Mower at $719.99 CAD, offers professional-grade performance with extended runtime capability and compatibility with the entire 80V tool system. The 60V platform provides balanced performance with optimal power-to-weight ratio, perfect for medium to large yards with excellent battery efficiency and versatile platform options. The 40V platform features efficient design that's lightweight and maneuverable, ideal for smaller properties as a budget-friendly entry point with easy storage and handling.
Real customer experiences consistently highlight positive feedback including comments like "Quieter than expected," "No more gas station trips," "Starts every time," "Neighbors appreciate the quiet operation," and "Much easier to maintain." These testimonials reflect the practical benefits homeowners experience after making the switch.
When making the switch in 2025, consider battery mowers if convenience and reliability are valued, environmental impact matters, low maintenance is preferred, noise reduction is important, or modern technology is desired. Stay with gas if properties exceed one acre, traditional maintenance is preferred, initial cost is the primary concern, or gas infrastructure already exists.
The environmental benefits deserve deeper examination, as battery mowers produce zero direct emissions and even accounting for electricity generation, create 75% less CO2 than gas alternatives. They eliminate fuel transportation emissions and have reduced manufacturing impact over time. Noise pollution reduction of 60% makes early morning mowing possible, creates neighborhood-friendly maintenance, and reduces stress on wildlife.
Technology advantages include smart features like push-button start technology, battery level indicators, consistent power delivery, and weather-resistant design. Future-proofing benefits include advancing battery technology, decreasing battery costs, expanding tool ecosystems, and smart home integration potential.
Common questions about battery mowers include whether they can handle thick grass, and yes, the 80V platform delivers gas-equivalent cutting power for even the thickest Canadian grass. Battery replacement costs are offset by fuel savings over time, with proper care extending battery life beyond three years. Charging takes 30-60 minutes for most batteries depending on platform and charger type. While mowing in wet conditions is possible, dry conditions provide optimal performance and battery life.
