I must say, as the dad of 6-year-old twins, that the whole concept of “battery powered” perhaps has connotations for me that are quite different from some others here. Continuously rooting around for batteries or constantly recharging are the thoughts that pop into my head, not rip-roaring performance vehicles. This is the way of the future, I suppose, but for now it just makes me cringe to hear it. ‘Battery powered”. Shudder. Lol.

I dunno. I have a daughter and yea I'm rooting around for double AA's but my Early 00's Craftsman Drills and saws had the old NiCD batteries and the Li-ion ones breathed new life into them. I swear by them up and down and all over. Oh and BTW those drills were all bought 2nd hand. Only the batteries were bought new.

Concept should be a stunner, but I worry about this huge push to electrified vehicles when the infrastructure is far from capable of handling it current state. The next few years will be interesting nonetheless

I have one word for you:

Eneloop.

Yes, that would be bad if we couldn't upgrade our infrastructure. As we've been constantly doing since the 1800s.
