Do a google search on electric chainsaws and you will see plenty with the main manufacturers offering 2 or 3 different power levels. Makita and Husquevarna both offer powerful saws and an "Inline" version that should be a super saw with its narrow ootprint.A couple of our carvers have the Makita inline model I believe. Gas can have more power but electric is Much lighter and quieter. You really need one of each because there are times you need to cut a log away from home. Hope this helps.
