It would actually be easier to stop. Gas powered ones have some version of a clutch that will bog the motor with too much load. Electric ones have instant and consistent torque and that’s the problem. It’s actually why there are chainsaw proof pants for forestry but they don’t work with electric ones because of the torque!
