EGO Commercial Brings Three New ZTR Mowers and a 30 kWh Charging Hub to Landscapers

EGO Commercial Brings Three New ZTR Mowers and a 30 kWh Charging Hub to Landscapers

EGO’s commercial division rolled into this week’s EQUIP Expo with a trailer full of pro-grade electric gear — and the headline isn’t the mowers, it’s the charging backbone behind them.

The Chervon-owned brand showed three new zero-turn riders, a 780 CFM blower and a 16.5-inch string trimmer, all running on the company’s 56V PGX battery platform. Add in a 30 kWh overnight charging hub and a fleet app, and the pitch to landscaping crews starts to look less like a novelty and more like a business case.

The mowers

EGO is covering both ends of the commercial spectrum here, from big turf jobs down to tight properties where a wide deck is a liability.

  • Sit-down ZTR: Up to 44 gas-equivalent horsepower, 12 mph top mowing speed, 48/54/60-inch decks
  • Stand-on ZTR: Same 44 hp-equivalent figure and 12 mph ceiling, same three deck widths
  • Compact stand-on: 26 gas-equivalent horsepower, 32/36-inch decks, 9 mph

All three take up to four removable high-capacity packs and carry an onboard 700-watt DC-to-DC charger — a detail that matters more than it sounds. Crews can top up handheld EGO 56V ARC lithium batteries straight from the mower in the field, no trip back to the trailer required.

Handhelds built for a full shift

The cleanup side of the lineup is a 780 CFM blower and a 16.5-inch front-motor trimmer. EGO is leaning hard on weight here: the blower comes in at 4.8 pounds bare-tool and pushes air at up to 190 mph with 27 newtons of force, while the trimmer weighs 6.6 pounds and uses a carbon-fiber shaft plus a direct-drive brushless motor to cut vibration. Its output is rated at 28 CC gas-equivalent.

The real story: 30 kWh and a standard outlet

What separates this launch from a typical product drop is the PGX Hub. EGO says it delivers 30 kWh of overnight charging capacity and can support as many as 48 three-port 56V battery docks. There’s also a dedicated ZTR connection so mowers and handhelds share one battery and charging setup.

And then there’s the number that will make most shop owners sit up: the whole thing is designed to run on a standard 120V outlet and 15A circuit. No service upgrades, no electrician’s bill.

“With PGX Commercial Charging solutions, no expensive electrical upgrades are required.”

The Commercial Fleet App rounds it out, letting managers track equipment location and usage, adjust charging settings remotely and get status alerts aimed at keeping uptime high.

Why the timing works

Utility and local incentive programs for landscapers going electric have been multiplying across the country, which lowers the upfront sting on a fleet conversion. EGO parent Chervon’s VP of product, Tim Baker, framed the strategy as one integrated system rather than a pile of separate tools — mowing, handhelds, scalable charging and fleet management all designed to work together so businesses get more out of every battery they buy.

That’s the sales argument in one line. Whether crews buy it will come down to real-world runtime on a long summer day — figures EGO hasn’t published yet.
