Those are some awfully expensive purchases for a small low-margin business.

The truck, yes. A few extra batteries and a charger are somewhat expensive, but within expectation of the job I think. I doubt most locations are entirely without power that they can use. Even public parks often have outlets at specific locations.

In the end the extra battery cost might be cheaper than the gas and maintenance requirements for gas blowers over time.
