Go off-grid this spring with Jackery’s portable power station
The official Jackery Amazon storefront is offering its Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station for $797 shipped once you clip the on-page coupon. For comparison, you’d typically pay $1,097 for this power station and today’s deal comes in at an additional $52 below our last mention from September. In fact, it’s the lowest that we’ve seen since Black Friday when it hit $769. Prepping you for a completely off-grid experience, this portable power station has a lot to offer. For starters, there are three pure sine wave AC outlets which are capable of delivering up to 1,000W of electricity. Then, there are two 18W USB-C ports as well as dual 2.4A QuickCharge USB-A outputs. You’ll also find support for recharging from an AC outlet on the wall or through DC with a solar panel, which is how it can function completely off-grid like we’ve already mentioned. Of course, zero gas or oil is needed for it to function and this power station runs essentially silent since there’s no motor to run. Check out our hands-on review to learn more.
Gotrax’s just-released Eclipse Electric Scooter sees first discount to $595 (Save $105)
After just launching back in January, Amazon is now offering the first chance to save on the new Gotrax Eclipse Electric Scooter. Dropping down from its usual $700 going rate, today’s offer amounts to $105 in savings thanks to today’s $594.99 shipped sale price. This is the only markdown we’ve seen in the roughly month that it has been on store shelves and is of course an all-time low. Stepping up to a more capable feature set from many of the Gotrax releases we’re accustomed to covering here at 9to5Toys, the newly-revealed Eclipse model comes centered around a 500W motor that can handle cruising at 20 MPH. The built-in 432Wh battery delivers a 28-mile range, while the 10-inch pneumatic tires come paired with other comforts like a front headlight, rear tail lights, and an onboard LED display for monitoring range, speed, and other riding stats in realtime.
The Gotrax GXL V2 on the other hand is a much more affordable way to get in on the electric vehicle action ahead of spring. It currently drops down to $339.99 when clipping the on-page coupon, delivering $40 in savings from the usual $390 going rate. This model isn’t quite as well-equipped to handle more demanding riding requirements, but will get you around the block at up to 15.5 MPH.

Swedish multinational Sandvik says it’s successfully deployed a pair of fully autonomous Toro LH518iB battery-electric underground loaders at the New Gold Inc. ($NGD) New Afton mine in British Columbia, Canada.
The heavy mining equipment experts at Sandvik say that the revolutionary new 18 ton loaders have been in service since mid-November, working in a designated test area of the mine’s “Lift 1” footwall. The mine’s operators are preparing to move the automated machines to the mine’s “C-Zone” any time now, putting them into regular service by the first of the new year.
“This is a significant milestone for Canadian mining, as these are North America’s first fully automated battery-electric loaders,” Sandvik said in a LinkedIn post. “(The Toro LH518iB’s) introduction highlights the potential of automation and electrification in mining.”
The company says the addition of the new heavy loaders will enable New Afton’s operations to “enhance cycle times and reduce heat, noise and greenhouse gas emissions” at the block cave mine – the only such operation (currently) in Canada.
Electrek’s Take
From drilling and rigging to heavy haul solutions, companies like Sandvik are proving that electric equipment is more than up to the task of moving dirt and pulling stuff out of the ground. At the same time, rising demand for nickel, lithium, and phosphates combined with the natural benefits of electrification are driving the adoption of electric mining machines while a persistent operator shortage is boosting demand for autonomous tech in those machines.
The combined factors listed above are rapidly accelerating the rate at which machines that are already in service are becoming obsolete – and, while some companies are exploring the cost/benefit of converting existing vehicles to electric or, in some cases, hydrogen, the general consensus seems to be that more companies will be be buying more new equipment more often in the years ahead.
What’s more, more of that equipment will be more and more likely to be autonomous as time goes on.
We covered the market outlook for autonomous and electric mining equipment earlier this summer, and I posted an episode exploring the growing demand for electric equipment on an episode of Quick Charge I’ve embedded, below. Check it out, then let us know what you think of the future of electric mining in the comments.
More EVs means more mines, equipment

European logistics firm Contargo is adding twenty of Mercedes’ new, 600 km-capable eActros battery electric semi trucks to its trimodal delivery fleet, bringing zero-emission shipping to Germany’s hinterland.
With over 300 miles of all-electric range, the new Mercedes eActros 600 electric semi truck was designed for (what a European would call) long-haul trucking. Now, after officially entering production at the company’s Wörth plant in Bavaria last month, the eActros 600 is reaching its first customer: Contargo.
With the addition of the twenty new Mercedes, Contargo’s electric truck fleet has grown to 60 BEVs, with plans to increase that total to 90. And, according to Mercedes, Contargo is just the first.
The German truck company says it has plans to deliver fifty (50) of the 600 kWh battery-equipped electric semi trucks to German shipping companies by the close of 2024.
Contargo’s 20 eActros 600 trucks were funded in part by the Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and Transport as part of a broader plan to replace a total of 86 diesel-engined commercial vehicles with more climate-friendly alternatives. The funding directive is coordinated by NOW GmbH, and the applications were approved by the Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility.
Electrek’s Take
Electric semi trucks are racking up millions of miles in the US, and abroad. As more and more pilot programs begin to pay off, they’re going to lead to more orders for battery electric trucks and more reductions in both diesel demand and harmful carbon emissions.
We can’t wait to see more.
