BLUETTI is back and ready to launch the EP600
If you’re familiar at all with sustainable energy solutions, you’ve probably heard of BLUETTI POWER Inc. and its ever-growing lineup of portable power products. The company currently wields over 10 years of industry experience, pursuing a mission to deliver exceptional eco-friendly energy solutions to its customers in over 70 countries around the world.
BLUETTI’s effort to stay true to its green mission has helped solidify its reign as one of the top clean energy solution providers, and its ability to consistently innovate has helped set the brand apart. For instance, BLUETTI introduced a slew of new products at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin this past fall, including the EP600 Solar Generator – by far its most powerful product to date.
Ahead of its official launch of pre-orders later this week, we’d like to share some of the impressive capabilities of the EP600, which will be supported by BLUETTI’s newly announced B500 expansion batteries. Have a look!
BLUETTI EP600 can be set up with ease and store 79.3 kWh
For how powerful the EP600 Solar Generator truly is, its extremely modular, easy to setup, and will stay protected and operational through the elements for the long haul – especially when compared to similar products from competitors.
When your EP600 system is set up, your solar panels can gather energy from the sun in the morning to power your home, while any excess energy is stored in BLUETTI’s B500 battery packs. When you’ve gathered a substantial energy reserve, you can use that stored energy during peak demand hours later in the day to avoid higher energy bills. You can also send that energy back to the grid and earn commissions from utility companies, depending where you live.
What sets the EP600 apart at its core is its hybrid inverter system, allowing owners to plug their solar panels directly into the generator itself without the need for any inverters or MPPT controllers. This technology is further backed by a UPS system that can seamlessly transition to its stored powered during an outage and continuously keep all your home’s devices running normally.
Equipped with a 6,000W bi-directional inverter for both AC input and output, BLUETTI’s new EP600 can deliver 230/400V AC power, capable of running virtually any household appliance. The Solar generator remains modular with the help of BLUETTI’s B500 expansion batteries, which store lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cells and 4,960 Wh of energy each.
Each EP600 solar generator can connect with up to 16 B500 batteries, for a maximum capacity of 79.3 kWh – transforming into the ultimate energy storage system to power your entire home whenever needed.
The B500 batteries have a 10-year lifespan and are each equipped with self-heating technology to precondition themselves during low ambient temperatures in order to function properly, even when it’s cold out.
Speaking of which, you can set up our BLUETTI EP600/B500 system anywhere around your home since it doesn’t need to be mounted to a wall and can be stacked right on the ground. By generating less than 50 decibels of noise while operating, this energy storage system can dwell inside your home or out, whatever works best for you. Simply stack, connect all necessary cables, and you’re good to go.
Pre-orders, pricing, and availability
BLUETTI will officially release the EP600 solar generator and B500 expansion battery on November 10 at 4:00 p.m. CET (10:00 a.m. EST). To begin, pre-orders will be offered in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, and Austria.

Tesla has started to offer discounted financing on Cybertruck as the electric pickup truck undoubtedly turns out to be a flop.
Tesla claimed over 1 million reservations for the Cybertruck, and CEO Elon Musk said he could see Tesla producing 500,000 units per year.
However, that was before Tesla announced that the production version would be much more expensive and have a shorter range than what was initially announced.
The Cybertruck has now been in production for a year and a half, and it looks like Tesla would be lucky to sell about 10% of Musk’s goal of 500,000 units.
The automaker doesn’t report Cybertruck sales, but it is estimated that Tesla delivered roughly 40,000 Cybertrucks in 2024, and it is expected to have even more issues selling the truck this year.
Tesla has taken several steps to help sales.
We reported that Tesla launched Cybertruck leases to help move vehicles. The company is even still tucked with “Foundations Series” Cybertrucks, and we found out that Tesla buffed “Foundations Series” badges out of some trucks to sell them as cheaper regular Cybertrucks.
For the remaining “Foundations Series,” which there still are despite Tesla switching to regular Cybertruck production in October, Tesla has even offered free Supercharging for life.
Now, Tesla is stepping up its game, and it is offering discounted financing on new Cybertruck orders:
Tesla announced 1.99% APR for a limited time:
1.99% APR available for a limited time for well-qualified buyers
WIthout the “promotion”, the rate for excellent credit is 5.84%.
While Tesla is discounting the rates, it is not discounting them as much as for new Model 3 orders.
We reported earlier this week that Tesla offers 0% and 0.99% with $0 down on new Model 3 orders in the US until the end of the quarter.
Electrek’s Take
It is very possible that Tesla can’t sell more than 10,000 Cybertrucks this quarter, which would extrapolate to 40,000 units per year or less than 10% of what Elon said he would see Tesla delivering.
Now, the cheaper single motor Cybertruck should help, but by how much? It could bring Tesla to 20-30% of the volume Elon saw possible?
I think it’s fairly clear that the Cybertruck is a flop.
Tesla launched a single new vehicle in the last 5 years and it is a flop.

Toyota launched its cheapest EV in China and it crashed the server starting at just $15,000
Toyota looks to grab a bigger share of the world’s largest EV market as it takes aim at BYD and other low-cost leaders. On Thursday, Toyota launched its cheapest EV in China, the bZ3X, starting at roughly $15,000. The new electric SUV crashed the server with over 10,000 orders in an hour.
Meet Toyota’s cheapest EV in China, the bZ3X
The bz3X is Toyota’s “first 100,000 yuan-level pure electric SUV” in China and its cheapest EV to hit the market so far.
Toyota’s Chinese joint venture, GAC-Toyota officially launched the “Bozhi 3X,” or bZ3X for short, in China on March 6. Shortly after, the company said orders for its new electric SUV were “so popular that the server crashed” after revealing prices start at just over $15,000 (109,800 yuan).
After securing over 10,000 orders in just one hour, Toyota boasted again that “the server is overwhelmed.” The launch comes after blind pre-orders opened in December, starting at just under $14,000 (100,000 yuan).
The bZ3X is available in two versions, with or without its full-scenario smart driving tech. The non-smart tech model starts at 109,800 yuan ($15,000) with five trim options while the smart driving model starts at 149,800 yuan ($20,500).
For 159,800 yuan ($22,000), the range-topping “610 Max” trim provides up to 610 km (379 miles) CLTC range from a 67.92 kWh LFP battery. The base “430 Air” gets up to 430 km (267 miles) from a 50.03 kWh LFP battery pack.
Toyota said the interior provides “a mobile space that is comfortable as home,” with front and rear seats that can fold down to provide nearly 10 feet (3 meters) of space.
Inside, the electric SUV has a 14.6″ infotainment screen with voice recognition and an 8.8″ driver display. It also includes a two-spoke multi-function steering wheel.
Toyota’s new bZ3X is its first vehicle with the Momenta 5.0 Intelligent Driving System. Powered by NVIDIA Drive AGX Orin X, it comes with 25 ADAS features, such as parallel parking, remote control parking, high-speed pilot, light traffic assist, and blind spot monitoring.
GAC-Toyota claimed it will be “one of the first automakers in the world to realize a one-stage end-to-end intelligent driving model.” With human-like intelligence, the vehicle “gets smarter and better with use.”
At 4,600 mm long, 1,875 mm wide, and 1,645 mm tall, Toyota’s cheapest EV in China is about the size of BYD’s Yuan Plus (Atto 3) at 4,455 mm long, 1,875 mm wide, and 1,615 mm tall. Starting at 115,800 yuan ($16,000), Toyota’s new bZ3X slightly undercuts BYD’s electric SUV.
What do you think of Toyota’s new electric SUV? Would you buy one for around $15,000? We’ll keep dreaming.
