Gas powered is still vastly superior for things like leafblowers. A good gas one can last 15 years and take a total of $40 in maintenance parts for that entire time, all while blowing harder. High end battery powered ones will last 45 minutes and need a couple hundred dollars worth of replacement batteries every few years. My stihl from 1997 still works like it’s new.

Just one nitpick – usually one can swap out batteries and continue to use the tool.
30 minutes from a $100 battery vs an hour from a $1.25 in fuel, no recharging, and no batteries that go bad.
