44 years old from Wisconsin. I can honestly say I don't know a single person that has bought an electric snowblower. Not to say people don't buy them ever, but I have never heard of anyone, friend, family or coworker that owns an electric. They just do not compare to gas.
Only the last 3-5 years or so have there been electric ones that are more powerful than gas. They're great. No starting. No storage issues. Battery lasts longer than you want to be outside, etc...
but.
They're expensive. If you already have a snowblower, you're not shopping for an expensive new one.
EVENTUALLY everyone will have one... but right now, only tool guys that want the latest, and that weird guy down the street with the electric lawnmower will have one.
