most landscaping operations are just a couple dudes and a old truck. now they have to buy a top of the line electric F150 to do their jobs?

That’s just how it is now. In a few years, there will be old electric trucks to buy for such purposes. If combined with a phased banning of small ICE devices (such as that proposed by another comment on this story’s thread), the transition won’t be too bad. It’s never going to be perfectly smooth and it has to happen at some point.
