Where is the incremental cost in the electric saws - aren’t they pretty much mechanically the same as the gas saws, other than the motor?

The so called pro level electric chain saws can do twice as many cuts on a charge. I have seen a video of arborist using a husqvarna battery operated saw high in a tree to limb it prior to bringing up his big gas saw to do the heavy lifting. It seemed quite effective and he loved the weight for reaching with one arm.
No, I don't boil anything. I do the math. Every gallon of ethanol gas is 10% ethanol. Ethanol binds with water, so if you add colored water to gas it will bind with the ethanol, color the ethanol, and the gas will float atop of water/ethanol. Just siphon off the water/ethanol and discard the mix. Add a fuel stabilizer with water remover to your pure gas. Be careful with partial filled gas containers, one spark, and a explosion.
Battery technology is improving at an amazing pace. I have a battery powered lawn mower and a
battery powered snowblower. I was floored when I heard the news that the Union Pacific Railroad have tested and have ordered 10 battery powered locomotive engines!
