There is something on the horizon that may shut down gas powered saws and that is a government like California and others mandating that gas powered equipment be outlawed, which I hear is happening...The four things I don't like about my battery saws are the cost of the saws, the cost of the batteries, the cost of the chargers and the fact that my smallest 2 stroke saw (MS170) cuts four times as much wood on one tank of fuel as does my most powerful battery saw on one fully charged battery.
At present there is no new tech on the horizon which will make batteries competitive costwise or oomphwise with 2strokers.
The fallacy is ‘either / or’. Few people on this site have just one chainsaw. Some will admit to owning more than one brand (!).If I was still logging I would still be reaching for a gas powered saw, probably my 572 xp.
I've heard of people just using a 5 iron and doing quite well.The fallacy is ‘either / or’. Few people on this site have just one chainsaw. Some will admit to owning more than one brand (!).
You could reach for your 572 XP for certain types of work, and your battery powered saw for other tasks.

I'm running the 220! It does a god job, is not as quiet as you might expect (but obviously much quieter than petrol (gas)), and really lasts 45 minutes on the AP300S battery. It's expensive for what it is, but most new tech is...Anyone out there own A Stihl 220 …. Or similar?
They do heck you can buy an adapter to run the 20 volt battery’s.I ordered a new 18 volt battery for my DeWalt drill, only concern is the battery specs. say it is a NIMH battery and the old battery and charger are NI-Cad, hope it works.
Yeah right enter in the electric and steam semi streamliner class and then claim production put out the world. You must be thinking of the lightning 217 that seems to be a handful of bikes, certainly not homologated dot approved bike.Watch some videos on YT, some of those electric bikes are absolute monsters. Don't know if it's still the case, but the fastest production sport bike in the world used to be electric.

But I did buy ktm freeride e in 2017 and it sure is great the power of mine is kind of like a 125 two stroke in "peak" power but no 5th and 6th gear. Heavier, top heavier.
Lithium ion batteries are what you would want in this year.
