With spring under two months away, it’s time to start thinking of how you’re going to prep the yard for new growth. Today only, Lowe’s is offering a selection of EGO chainsaws and more at up to $50 off. Leading the way is a 14-inch chainsaw with a 2.5Ah battery and charger down to $219, which normally goes for $269. Utilizing a battery-powered brushless electric motor, this chainsaw doesn’t require any gas or tune-ups to function, making it a quieter and more eco-friendly option for your yard care needs. 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.

Lowe’s discounts EGO chainsaws and more

Today only, as part of its Daily Deals, Lowe’s is offering a selection of EGO lawn care gear, chainsaws, and more at up to $50 off. Our top pick is the EGO 14-inch Brushless Cordless Electric Chainsaw for $219 shipped. Those with a Lowe’s Advantage Credit Card (free to sign-up) will save an additional 5%, dropping the price to $208.05. Down from $269, today’s deal beats our last mention of $220 from last April by $1 to mark the best price that we’ve tracked at Lowe’s so far. This chainsaw is perfect for prepping your yard for spring growth. Powered by the EGO 56V ARC Lithium battery, this chainsaw ditches the noisy and polluting gas motor for a brushless electric alternative that’s quieter, smoother in operation, and easier to use. The 14-inch bar and chain deliver “smooth cuts” with a “low kickback design.” Plus, there’s a tool-free chain tensioning system that gives you “fast, easy chain adjustments.” Check out Lowe’s for all the other ways you can save.

Segway’s Ninebot E22 electric scooter gets you in the EV game for $452 (Reg. $620), more

Amazon now offers the Segway Ninebot E22 Electric Kick Scooter for $452.59 shipped. Normally fetching $620, you’re looking at the second-best price to date at 27% off. We’ve only seen this model sell for less once before during a limited-time sale back in November, and this $168 discount is still one of the first chances to save some serious cash, period. Equipped with a 300W motor, Segway’s E22 scooter can handle everything from quick trips to the store to slightly longer commutes and even joyrides. It sports a 13.7-mile range on a single charge, and can handle going 12.4 MPH. There’s a dual braking system for some added peace of mind, as well as a lightweight build that only weighs 28 pounds to help making transporting the EV when you’re not riding on it a bit more convenient.

To go alongside the more traditional EV on sale above, Amazon is also marking down two different versions of Segway’s Ninebot self-balancing electric scooters. These ride-on vehicles are powered by electric just the same, but are a bit more high-tech compared to the usual scooter form-factor above.

Jackery Solar Generator 1000 with three 100W solar panels falls to $1,188

Jackery’s official Amazon storefront is offering its Solar Generator 1000 for $1,188 shipped once you clip the on-page coupon. Down from $1,398, today’s deal is just $89 above our last mention, but you get a third solar panel whereas our December sale on the Solar Generator 1000 only included two. Ready to keep your home or campsite going off-grid, this kit delivers everything you need to run. The portable power station is run by rechargeable batteries so you don’t have to use any gas or oil to use it. Its 1,002Wh capacity should be plenty to charge your laptop or smartphone thanks to its dual 100W USB-C PD ports and dual USB-A QuickCharge 3.0 outlets, run small appliances or other gear from the three 1,000W AC plugs, and more. Plus, the three 100W solar panels will allow you to recharge without having to plug back into the wall as well, meaning that for extended power outages or off-grid camping, this power station can stay going for days on end with ease. Check out our hands-on review to learn more.

CNBC Daily Open: Tech sell-off? Investors could just be taking profit and enjoying the summer

If you have any U.S. technology stocks in your portfolio (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), you might want to look away.

For the second day in a row, tech stocks dragged markets lower, with the Nasdaq Composite slipping 0.67%. Juggernauts such as Apple, Amazon and Alphabet were more meh-nificent than magnificent, falling more than 1%.

Palantir — the standout S&P 500 stock, having more than doubled so far this year — had its sixth consecutive day in the red and lost its place among a ranking of the 20 most valuable U.S. companies.

While Palantir’s slide was partly triggered by a report from short seller Andrew Left’s Citron Research, which called the company “detached from fundamentals and analysis,” there was no single trigger for the broader pullback.

Investors could have been spooked by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s caution about an AI bubble forming, although some analysts dispute that assertion. “In our view the tech bull cycle will be well intact at least for another 2-3 years,” said Wall Street tech bull Dan Ives.

Or it could be something benign, like traders locking in profits. “Tech stocks,” said Carol Schleif, chief market strategist at BMO Private Wealth, “have had an incredibly strong run – with some up over 80% since the early April lows.”

Summer, after all, is far from over. Some investors might have just wanted to cash out for another round of margaritas.

Red carpet for Putin, trade relief for China, penalties on India: Inside Trump’s peculiar policy playbook

U.S. President Donald Trump is pursuing an unusual strategy — courting Russian President Vladimir Putin, holding fire on Beijing, all the while turning the screws on India.

Despite India being one of the earliest nations to engage in negotiations with the Trump administration, there is still no sign of it sealing a deal with America. New Delhi is now also staring at a secondary tariff of 25% or a “penalty” for its purchases of Russian oil that is set to come into effect later this month.

Trump likely to pick Kevin Hassett as next Fed Chair. The director of the National Economic Council firmly led the pack, according to a CNBC Fed Survey. However, respondents think the president “should” pick former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh.

No new solar or wind power projects, Trump says. Renewable energy projects will no longer receive approval, Trump posted Wednesday on Truth Social. His comment comes after the administration already tightened federal permitting last month.

Tesla offers used car leases with $0 down as it desperately tries move cars

Tesla offers used car leases with alt=

Tesla has started offering leases of certified pre-owned cars, which is relatively rare in the industry, with $0 down as it desperately tries to move vehicles before the end of the quarter.

With the federal tax credit for electric vehicles set to expire at the end of the quarter, automakers in the US are all trying to optimize EV sales, as demand is being pulled forward.

This also applies to used EVs, as the $4,000 federal incentive for used electric vehicles will also expire on September 30th.

Now, leasing used vehicles is much less common than leasing new cars, but some automakers, or mainly dealers, do offer it.

Tesla is getting into this business for the first time.

In California and Texas, Tesla is now offering leases on certified pre-owned (aka used) Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.

These are reasonably priced and can be as low as $215 per month with $0 down for a 24-month lease and 10,000 miles per year.

Tesla also offers a 12-month lease and up to 15,000 miles annually. While there’s no down payment needed, there’s an “Acquisition Fee” of $695.

That, and the first month, is all you need to get in a used Tesla for the next year or two.

This is undoubtedly the cheapest way to get into a Tesla vehicle right now.

Tesla is trying to sell as many vehicles as possible in the US this quarter, as demand for EVs has been pulled forward due to the end of the tax credit. This is expected to result in a record quarter in the US, but it also going to create a few difficult ones in the future.

With demand being pulled forward and future buyers feeling like they missed out on EV discounts, the US EV market is expected to experience a significant slowdown over the next 12 to 18 months.

Tesla sales are down about 13% globally so far this year. While this quarter is expected to be better, many analysts still anticipate Tesla’s year-over-year performance to be down.

This year alone, Tesla added more than 50,000 electric vehicles to its inventory.

Used cars have also been piling up.

Tesla owners rushed to sell their vehicles as Tesla’s brand perception dived following its CEO’s involvement in politics.

We previously reported that the average used Tesla sale price has recently dipped below the overall average used car sale price in the US.
