Greenworks’ MaximusZ electric riding mower has five motors and a few compromises
The current EV market is flush with variety. I've driven single-motor economy-minded machines, dual-motor EVs with all-wheel drive, tri-motor vehicles that dial up the performance stakes, and even wild quad-motor performance cars, like the Rimac Nevera.
But this is the first time I've ever driven a five-motor EV, one with the agility and speed to turn a 360 even more smoothly than an electric G-Wagon. It also makes quick work of terrible turf.
This is, of course, a lawn mower, and it only uses two of those motors to drive the wheels. The other three turn a trio of blades that cut a 54-inch-wide swath in a single pass. It also promises four …

The electric vehicle market is expanding from passenger cars into heavy-duty outdoor power equipment. This mower represents a shift toward high-performance battery technology for suburban and semi-rural land management.
Christian Perspective
Stewardship of the land is a biblical mandate that requires reliable tools for maintaining God's creation. While electric technology offers efficiency, the high cost of these machines may burden the average family man trying to maintain his property.
Implications
The transition to electric equipment increases dependence on a centralized power grid and complex battery supply chains. This shift can undermine individual self-sufficiency and the autonomy of the traditional household.
Broader Trends
The push for electric everything mirrors a globalist agenda to regulate and monitor energy consumption. Moving away from internal combustion engines reduces the ability of citizens to operate independently of state-controlled infrastructure.
Takeaway
Prioritize tools that promote long-term independence and resilience for the family unit. Be wary of expensive technological shifts that trade proven mechanical reliability for fragile, grid-dependent systems. Focus on maintaining the land through methods that support a stable, self-reliant home.
