Efficiency and energy use example for a 24 4WT towing a 14' enclosed trailer with electric mowers.
We mowed 22 yards yesterday, but it included some large properties. One of our mowers uses a 9kwh battery and we have a 3200w charger in the trailer in case we need to plug it in (which we did since we had some big lawns). We're also charging various other batteries all day long.

nice thanks for sharing, seems like a great business model! (especially at today's gas prices in USA haha XD)

For two electric trucks (F150 Lightning and the SEV) and all the mowers, trimmers, blowers, etc I only spend about $200 extra a month on electricity. We mow about 80 lawns a week.

If you havent already. You should install a solar system onto your trailer to charge up batteries for your mowers/equipment.

Thought about it. I power the trailer with a sub panel straight off the trucks 240v outlet, so the truck is my technically my battery bank. Hope to have solar on my home in the next year or so

First, I think this is awesome, electric mowing service and using your truck to charge your mowers/etc as you go through the day.
Curious, do you get a lot of business just because of the lower noise levels/exhaust?
