Are you looking for a way to ride around town but don’t want to drop over $1,000 on an e-bike? Well, the Segway E22 electric scooter is perfect for traveling to or from work without using a single drop of gas or oil. It’s great for those trips because Segway is bundling a seat with this electric scooter so you can sit down and enjoy a more comfortable ride overall, all at $80 off its normal going rate since it’s on sale for $500 at Amazon. We also have a wide selection of Tesla and e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.

Head below for other New Green Deals that we’ve found today and of course Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Segway’s electric scooter doesn’t need any gas

Amazon is offering the Segway Ninebot E22 Electric Scooter with Seat for $499.99 shipped. Down from its normal rate of $580, today’s deal marks the third-best deal that we’ve tracked for this scooter. It features multiple shock-absorbing systems including a foam cushion saddle, 9-inch dual-density tires, and more. On top of that the seat is easy to attach and detachable so you can choose whether or not to use it. The seat itself can be adjusted from 20- to 24.8-inches so you can dial it in with ease. You also won’t have to use a single drop of gas or oil for this scooter as it’s completely battery-powered. The scooter can ride at up to 12.4 MPH and go for as far as 13.7 miles per charge, as well.

Segway’s F series electric scooters fall to second-best prices from $400 (Save $100)

Amazon is now offering the Segway F25 Electric Kick Scooter for $399.99 shipped. Normally fetching $500, today’s offer marks one of the first chances to save at $100 off. It comes within $2 of the all-time low set back in July and is the second-best price to date. As one of the more recent additions to the Segway lineup, its Ninebot F25 packs a 300W output that allows the EV to travel at up to 15.5 MPH on a single charge. There’s a 12.4-mile range, which pairs with some of the other notable features like regenerative electric braking, 10-inch pneumatic tires for a smooth ride, and folding design that makes storing away in-between rides more convenient.

Stepping up to the F30 form-factor, another one of Segway’s more recent electric vehicles is also on sale. This model also comes powered by a 300W motor, but is backed by a longer 18.6-mile range. It can handle the same 15.5 MPH top speeds as above, and can even climb steeper hills than the more affordable model above. This one sits at $579.99 on Amazon right now, delivering $70 in savings to match one of the best prices yet.

Let Husqvarna’s Automower 115H robot lawn mower take care of the yard for $960 (2022 low)

Amazon is offering the Husqvarna Automower 115H Automatic Robot Lawn Mower for $959.99 shipped. Down from $1,200, today’s deal marks a return to the 2022 low that we’ve tracked only a handful of times. If you’re tired of mowing the yard, then let the Automower 115H handle it for you. It comes with the built-in ability to automatically run around your yard and mow for you, with Bluetooth control for customizing its settings and options. The battery can last for up to 0.4-acres making it great for small to medium yards. Plus, it doesn’t need any gas or oil to run as it’s fully battery-powered, making it a green choice as well.

Chevy EV owners in Texas now get free overnight home charging with Reliant

Chevy EV owners in Texas who have Reliant as their electric utility can now charge for free at night with renewable energy.

Over 150 Chevrolet dealerships across Texas are now offering the Reliant Free Charge Nights plan to new EV buyers. With Free Charge Nights, customers can offset their charging costs by receiving credits for electricity used between 11 pm and 6 am. The plan is powered entirely by renewable energy, thanks to the purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs).

Rasesh Patel, president of NRG Consumer, says the plan is about making power personal: “We’re excited to help Chevrolet EV drivers offset the cost of charging their vehicle all while having access to a renewable electricity plan.”

This collaboration aims to make EV adoption more appealing by making charging cheaper and greener. GM Energy’s chief revenue officer, Aseem Kapur, emphasized that partnerships like this help build the ecosystem needed to support an all-electric future: “The Reliant Free Charge Nights plan is a great example of how an automaker and an energy company can work together to make EV adoption an easy decision.”

Existing Reliant customers can also sign up for the Free Charge Nights plan. To get started, Chevrolet EV owners need to designate their vehicle on the GM Energy Smart Charging Portal before enrolling in the plan.

Reliant Energy, a subsidiary of NRG Energy, serves over 1.5 million customers in Texas, making it one of the largest electricity providers in the state.

Texas to get 1 GW AI-powered virtual power plant, enough to power 200,000 homes

Texas is about to get a major power boost – a new AI-powered virtual power plant (VPP) delivering capacity equivalent to 200,000 homes during peak demand.

NRG Energy is teaming up with Renew Home to bring nearly 1 gigawatt (GW) of capacity to the Texas grid by 2035, aiming to make it more resilient while helping residents save on energy costs.

The new VPP will rely on hundreds of thousands of smart thermostats and other connected home devices, making use of AI technology provided by Google Cloud. These devices, like Vivint and Nest smart thermostats, will be offered to eligible customers at no cost. By automating HVAC adjustments, they help shift energy use to when electricity is cheaper, cleaner, and less strained.

NRG and Renew Home have big plans for the VPP. Starting in spring 2025, the companies plan to roll out the program across Texas, installing these smart thermostats in homes served by NRG’s retail electricity providers. Eventually, they plan to add home battery storage and EVs to expand the power plant’s capabilities.

Texas has faced record-breaking energy demands, with peak usage hitting 85 GW in 2023. As the state’s population grows and extreme weather becomes more frequent, VPPs like this one could play a key role in stabilizing the grid. VPPs aggregate a lot of small-scale energy resources, from smart thermostats to home batteries, and use them to help balance supply and demand during times of high stress on the grid.

This nearly 1 GW VPP will be one of the largest of its kind in Texas. NRG’s president of consumer operations, Rasesh Patel, calls it a “pivotal step” for improving customer experience while making Texas’ energy infrastructure more sustainable and resilient.

In addition to Renew Home, NRG is working with Google Cloud to maximize the power plant’s effectiveness. Google Cloud’s AI and analytics tools will help predict weather conditions, forecast renewable generation, and optimize energy usage, all of which will help make energy management smoother for both customers and the grid.

Ben Brown, CEO of Renew Home, said:

NRG’s commitment to creating a more resilient and sustainable energy future while also making electricity bills more affordable makes them an ideal partner for co-developing this unique VPP program.

This initiative raises the bar for future-proofing our electricity infrastructure and delivering cost savings to customers.
