You want a good electric snow blower?
Going to have to build one. A 3hp, 2 pole, 240v single phase 56TC frame motor might get you stated. A decent one runs around $250. Gasoline and electric motors are generally standardized. Chances are that snow blower uses a 5/8'' shaft motor. Does it use a belt coming off the motor or go into a gear box?
I used to have mostly electric tools when I lived in the city, then i moved to the country, got more land then got electric vehicles.
Still use the electric chain saw, electric pole saw, wood chipper, electric weed eater and hedge trimmer. Left the electric lawn mower at the rental house.
I would really like an electric pressure washer, but ones that don't suck and could almost match the performance of my 7hp gasoline one start over $1,000.
