Chainsaw

I have just purchased the mower and string trimmer 2 days ago and would also be very interested in purchasing a chainsaw using EGO's 56V lithium-ion batteries.

I agree.  I presently have an electric corded chainsaw that I use for routine maintenance around the yard (with a very heavy-gauge 100 foot extension cord).  But certainly a battery powered chain saw makes the most sense in an emergency.  

My part of California doesn't have hurricanes or tornadoes, but we do have earthquakes which also trips out the electricity.  So things falling down may need a battery powered chainsaw to cut up.  And it would certainly make yard maintenance much easier than my corded unit.

In an emergency w/o electricity, we need a solar panel or solar generator to support the chargers.
 
Would be great to have a charging platform for the variety of batteries on the market.  I already have too many chargers for lithium batteries cluttering my already limited storage.  An electronics manufacturer would be smart to develop a charging system similar to the single panel solution that charges cell phone peripherals and small devices.

In addition to a chainsaw, I ask R+D at EGO to consider a hybrid power source such as a small solar panel coupled with kinetic source such as wind possibly tied to a separate lithium battery to drive a retrofit self propel unit that can be installed by the consumer or an authorized dealer. 

As compared to other cordless lawnmowers on the market, the EGO is the heaviest and, though I am 60, none of the homeowner target market is getting any younger.  And, with so much on the plate, by the time I get to the lawn, I am already beat to smithereens.

So my hills, not only get trickier with annual soil shifts, but I will increasingly need help to maneuver the mower, especially for several steep pitches unsuitable for riding mowers.  That's one gas mower feature that I truly miss. 

Mowing close to one acre with hills in the heat will be a real soaker come mid summer, especially since I have to take a running start to push that baby into position to mow horizontally. 

A pole saw would be awesome.  Kobalt, who is probably closest competition, has the pole saw in their series.   http://www.lowes.com/pd_506891-95404-KPS+80-06_4294612755__?productId=50154346&Ns=p_product_qty_...  

When do you see additional products coming?

We're pleased to officially announce that we will be adding a 14" chainsaw to our EGO Power+ line up.  It will be in stores in the early Fall of THIS YEAR!  It will come with the 2.0 Ah Battery and a Standard Charger included for $299 (US) available exclusively at The Home Depot.  It will also be available online on HomeDepot.com.
