Question: When does an internal-combustion-engined car become valueless?

Answer: When the cost of buying or leasing an electric vehicle along with paying for maintenance and miles becomes less expensive than using a free gas car.

That’s already been the case for years for high mileage drivers but with higher gas prices, we’ve now reached the point where the cost comparison is becoming more acute. It is now noticeable even to consumers that don’t drive a higher range of miles.

It’s time to consider what tools are still in your garage that are powered by gas and oil. While you might already have replaced your mower or other larger tools, like chainsaws or hedge trimmers, is your string trimmer and blower still gas-powered? Well, if so, then BLACK+DECKER’s 2-tool electric string trimmer and blower combo kit will help you finish (or start) the transition at just $110. The string trimmer also functions as a edger should you need it. We also have a wide selection of Tesla, Greenworks, and other e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.
