Here is my list, car, truck, weed eater, chain saw, and anxiously waiting for my new zero turn mower! Swapping the motorcycle next year maybe!
Yard equipment like you. My 9 year old wanted a dirt bike for Xmas, electric was the way to go for us for an intro bike. I also then upgraded this one with a 3rd battery this spring, so it can zip along now and he loves it

Nice, the batteries in the zero turn can be used in other equipment and I see that they make a mini-bike and a go-cart for kids That use the same batteries!
Boots and knee pads, There will be crashes!

Our condo came with a total gas range including oven and broiler.. The broiler is like halfway broiler/halfway grill and works surprisingly well and I only use it occasionally. The oven heats up the house so almost all baking is in the Anova Precision Combi oven with great control over temperature and humidity. (steam range).

Instant pot, and of course a coffee maker. Our heat pump is a complicated thing even to explain. I want to buy an inductive surface unit but waiting for one that has more precision control.
(currently only available for $1500, the $500 one is only accurate within 30-50 degrees F!)

My most recent upgrade is an EGO 52" zero turn mower. It claims up to 4 acres, but I only mow 2 acres max, but it has the bagger with the special blades and I run them at the highest speed for a really nice cut. This thing is actually fun! I also have a self propelled ego push mower, corded and battery powered blowers, corded snow blower, battery powered weed wacker and hedge trimmer. I have a 1992 Club Car with an AC induction motor and 450A control, 2 kW electric off road hunting bike (I don't hunt), 350W electric foldable bike, and a 1984 Fiero with a 9" transwarp brush motor and 2000A Zilla control. My grandkids have 5 Powerwheels vehicles that use DeWalt 20V, 5AHr batteries and controls I designed myself at work for speed regulation.

I've switched to battery for everything but the riding mower. I looked at electric zero turn a few years back, but the number of batteries used and their replacement cost, coupled with my lot size and the fact that mowers take a beating, led me to a Cub Cadet 50" gas. I did convert my push mower last year to an electric Ryobi. All plastic, but figured it is used for trimming where the zero turn won't go. The big 6Ah battery in it barely makes an hour.

No more gas cans or natural gas in my house/yard. Converted gas furnace to heat pump this year. Converted gas water heater to heat pump/hybrid water heater this year. All yard equipment including leaf blower, string trimmer, chain saw are electric.

I’d like to hear more about the heat pump water heater, how do you like it?

I had some issues initially with the new heat pump water heater due to interaction between my well water and the anode rod inside the water heater. Eventually, my plumbing company solved the problem by installing an electric anode rod. It's been working great since then. Very efficient with minimal impact on my electrical usage.

All yard equipment (EGO) including a chainsaw that gets a lot of use, pressure washer, and auger. UTV, heat pump dryer, and geothermal heat pump too.
