Charge your solar system with this 100W panel

BougeRV (100% positive lifetime feedback) via Amazon is offering its 100W 12V Mono Solar Panel for $83.99 shipped. Down from $105, this marks a return to its all-time low that we’ve tracked at Amazon. This solar panel packs plenty of power for its small size. Designed to withstand 2,400Pa wind and 5,400Pa snow, you’ll find that the IP67 waterproof junction box makes it so you can get power in almost any weather. It’s designed to run most 12V systems and allows you to charge batteries or run devices depending on what your setup consists of. On top of that, you can hook multiple panels together in order to achieve faster charge times, making this a solid choice for any solar system.

9to5Toys has partnered with Wellbots to offer our readers an exclusive 25% off on the NIU KQi2 Pro, NIU KQi3 Pro, and NIU KQi3 Max electric scooters. We’ll start off by talking about the entry-level KQi2 Pro, which comes in at $449.25 shipped when you use the code TOYS25 at checkout. Down from a $599 list price, and $539 sale at Best Buy right now, today’s deal marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked for this model. This electric scooter has the ability to ride at up to 17.6 MPH for as far as 25 miles on a single charge. This means you can easily traverse around the city without walking or without using any gas and oil. The NIU KQi2 Pro can also handle a maximum slope of 15%, which means it can climb hills with relative ease. Learn more about the NIU brand.

Also on sale today is the NIU KQi3 Pro Electric Scooter, which comes in at $599.25 with the code TOYS25 at checkout. This is also 25% off and knocks $200 off its normal going rate. With the ability to go for up to 31 miles per charge, it can also reach speeds of up to 20 MPH, taking things up a notch compared to the KQi2 Pro above. On top of those upgrades, the KQi3 Pro can also handle maximum slopes of 20%, which allows it to climb more steep angles compared to the model on sale above.

However, the most powerful model discounted today is the NIU KQi3 Max. Down to $749.25 from $999 with the code TOYS25 at checkout, this electric scooter offers the best bang for your buck right now from NIU. Taking things up a notch, the KQi3 Max can support riders of up to 265 pounds, while the two models above max out at 220 pounds. It also can go for over 40 miles per charge and reach top speeds of over 20 MPH. You’ll also be able to traverse up to a 25% slope with the KQi3 Max as well, meaning it’s far more capable than either model we’ve already talked about today. So, if you’re looking for the best scooter to get around the city with, be sure to consider the KQi3 Max.

Day 1 of the Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix 2025 [Gallery]

Day 1 of the Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix 2025 [Gallery]

Today was the official start of racing at the Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix 2025! There was a tremendous energy (and heat) on the ground at NCM Motorsports Park as nearly a dozen teams took to the track. Currently, as of writing, Stanford is ranked #1 in the SOV (Single-Occupant Vehicle) class with 68 registered laps. However, the fastest lap so far belongs to UC Berkeley, which clocked a 4:45 on the 3.15-mile track. That’s an average speed of just under 40 mph on nothing but solar energy. Not bad!

In the MOV (Multi-Occupant Vehicle) class, Polytechnique Montréal is narrowly ahead of Appalachian State by just 4 laps. At last year’s formula sun race, Polytechnique Montréal took first place overall in this class, and the team hopes to repeat that success. It’s still too early for prediction though, and anything can happen between now and the final day of racing on Saturday.

Congrats to the teams that made it on track today. We look forward to seeing even more out there tomorrow. In the meantime, here are some shots from today via the event’s wonderful photographer Cora Kennedy.

Stay tuned for more!

Tesla launches Oasis Supercharger with solar farm and off-grid batteries

Tesla launches Oasis Supercharger with solar farm and off-grid batteries

Tesla has launched its new Oasis Supercharger, the long-promised EV charging station of the future, with a solar farm and off-grid batteries.

Early in the deployment of the Supercharger network, Tesla promised to add solar arrays and batteries to the Supercharger stations, and CEO Elon Musk even said that most stations would be able to operate off-grid.

While Tesla did add solar and batteries to a few stations, the vast majority of them don’t have their own power system or have only minimal solar canopies.

Back in 2016, I asked Musk about this, and he said that it would now happen as Tesla had the “pieces now in place” with Supercharger V3, Powerpack V2, and SolarCity:

All of these pieces have been in place for years, and Tesla has now discontinued the Powerpack in favor of the Megapack. The Supercharger network is also transitioning to V4 stations.

Yet, solar and battery deployment haven’t accelerated much in the decade since Musk made that comment, but it is finally happening.

Last year, Tesla announced a new project called ‘Oasis’, which consists of a new model Supercharger station with a solar farm and battery storage enabling off-grid operations in Lost Hills, California.

Tesla has now unveiled the project and turned on most of the Supercharger stalls:

The project consists of 168 chargers, with half of them currently operational, making it one of the largest Supercharger stations in the world. However, that’s not even the most notable aspect of it.

The station is equipped with 11 MW of ground-mounted solar panels and canopies, spanning 30 acres of land, and 10 Tesla Megapacks with a total energy storage capacity of 39 MWh.

It can be operated off-grid, which is the case right now, according to Tesla.

With off-grid operations, Tesla was about to bring 84 stalls online just in time for the Fourth of July travel weekend. The rest of the stalls and a lounge are going to open later this year.

Electrek’s Take

This is awesome. A bit late, but awesome. This is what charging stations should be like: fully powered by renewable energy.

Unfortunately, it will be much harder to open those stations in the future due to legislation that Trump and the Republican Party have just passed, which removes incentives for solar and energy storage, adds taxes on them, and removes incentives to build batteries – all things that have helped Tesla considerably over the last few years.

The US is likely going to have a few tough years for EV adoption and renewable energy deployment.
