Dallas Considers Rebates for Switching to Electric Lawn Equipment. The city may stand up a $750,000 program that reimburses single-family homeowners for switching from gas to electric lawn equipment.

The effort is a push to reduce emissions, and about half of the city’s 200,000 single-family homeowners still have gas equipment.
