Global portable and solar energy solutions provider BLUETTI POWER Inc. is mere days away from launching its next amazing product – the EP600 Solar Generator. The EP600 is an energy storage system (ESS) that when combined with BLUETTI B500 battery packs, can provide an all-encompassing energy solution to alleviate any and all power shortages throughout your entire house. See below for details regarding exclusive early bird pricing for the BLUETTI EP600 + 2xB500 combo to celebrate the solar generator’s official launch.

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.

From November 10 through December 31, you can take advantage of early bird pricing from the BLUETTI website, which will offer an EP600 combo, complete with two B500 batteries for €8,999. Your pre-order includes free shipping, 24/7 customer service, a 10-year warranty, and optional on-site installation. Shipping is expected within one week of pre-orders.

The Eastern US's first CFI-funded EV charging hub comes online

The first EV charging hub funded by the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Program in the Eastern US is now online in Deerfield, Massachusetts.

The town installed the region’s first DC fast chargers (four ports), along with four Level 2 chargers, at 59 North Main Street in South Deerfield.

These new charging stations, funded with $2.46 million from the CFI program, are conveniently located near Interstate 91 in Franklin County, the most rural county in Massachusetts, which serves drivers from Connecticut up to the Canadian border.

The hub also features local and regional bus stops and designated bike lanes with secure onsite bike racks. The chargers are meant to cater to everyone: from local residents and visitors to municipal EVs and commercial vehicles that service the region’s businesses, like those in food and beverage manufacturing.

Gabe Klein, executive director of the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, sees this as a model for future projects:

Multi-modal charging hubs in communities are key to giving more people the choice to ride and drive electric. The Town of Deerfield is showing leadership in building out convenient charging infrastructure that brings new transportation choices to rural and disadvantaged communities while supporting local commerce.

In recent years, Deerfield has experienced increased climate change-driven flooding from nearby rivers, including the Deerfield River, the Connecticut River, and the Bloody Brook. The project incorporates environmental engineering designed to mitigate and adapt to the effects of flooding and climate, including the installation of permeable asphalt and rain gardens, planting of native trees, grasses, and shrubs, and the creation of new greenspace in the center of Deerfield.

The Biden-Harris administration’s CFI Grant Program is expanding EV infrastructure nationwide. It offers grants for projects that complement and expand upon the initiatives of the NEVI program in urban, rural, and disadvantaged and low-income communities. So far, the CFI Grant Program has allocated over $1 billion to nearly 100 projects across the US, encouraging private investments and expanding the EV charging network to make EV ownership more practical and convenient.

Kia’s new low-cost EV4 was just spotted in the US for the first time

Kia's new low-cost EV4 was just spotted in the US for the first time

Kia’s upcoming EV4 electric sedan was just spotted testing in the US for the first time. The low-cost EV is expected to make its big debut by the end of the year. Here’s a look at the new model.

The EV4 will round out Kia’s new “EVs for all” master plan launched last year. Kia showcased three new models, the EV3, EV4, and EV5, during its first annual EV Day in October 2023.

During the event, Kia outlined its new global strategy to “lead and accelerate the EV revolution” with a wide range of models priced from $30,000 to $80,000.

Kia plans to rapidly expand its lineup with a series of smaller, lower-priced models. It launched the EV9, its first three-row electric SUV, which is already proving to be a hot seller in the US. Starting at under $55,000, the EV9 is still a great deal compared to others in its class, but Kia plans to go even lower.

The EV3 and EV4 are expected to be among the most affordable electric vehicles when they arrive in the US.

Kia’s new EV4 is now testing in the US

Ahead of its official debut, Kia’s new EV4 sedan was recently caught driving on US streets for the first time.

The latest image from KindelAuto doesn’t reveal much more than what’s been shown in the past, but the fact that it’s now testing in the US is significant.

Kia’s EV3 is already on sale in Korea, starting at around $30,000 (42.08 million won). Earlier this week, the company said its new compact SUV is now available across Europe, starting at around $38,000 (36,000 euros) with a “segment-leading range” of up to 375 miles (WLTP).

Next up will be the EV4. Kia is expected to officially reveal the new EV by the end of the year, with deliveries starting in 2025. It could be as soon as next week at the 2024 LA Auto Show.

The interior will feature Kia’s advanced new ccNC infotainment system with dual 12.3″ navigation and driver display screens. An otherwise minalimalistic design is expected inside.

Kia’s EV4 will also be available in a hatchback variant. Although the hatch is likely aimed at European buyers, it was also recently spotted testing in the US for the first time.
