Figures released by the AEA in October show that sales of battery powered gardening equipment in the first six months of 2016 were up 133% on the same period in 2015.

One company who say they have played a key role in causing this spike is EGO Power+.



Peter Melrose, president of EGO Europe, said, "It's undeniable that battery powered gardening equipment is the future. The benefits of battery over petrol are endless; it is hassle and fume free, with lower vibration, less noise and fewer health issues caused by long-term petrol usage, and these figures reaffirm that.

“2016 was a great year for EGO and we are incredibly proud to be involved in causing this surge in sales! We look forward to seeing in the figures continue to rise into 2017."

The EGO Power+ range is exclusively distributed to the nationwide dealer network by Henton & Chattell.
