Hybrids will be the better choice, but the batteries issues will need to be solved.
Electric grounds tools is an excellent idea, and the best answer for me. I now have two chainsaws, one push mower and a heavy trimmer that I use, and my wife has a blower. No moving parts, and with the cost low on the implements, one can purchase enough batteries to keep it all working.
Another factor is that I can carry two sharp chainsaws into the woods, with one 40V and two 80V batteries in my backpack, where I can do some decent damage on small trees and brush.
Top factor besides few moving parts is a sense of quiet, which truly works for me. I pull the trigger and the equipment works, I take my finger off the trigger and instant quiet. I like that since I like quiet when I work, especially in the woods, where there are plenty of big bear in my forest. Bear will let you know when you get to close.
