If you’ve been holding off on picking up an electric mower for a more all-encompassing kit, then today’s your day. Right now you can pick up a Greenworks 40V 14-inch mower alongside an axial blower and 12-inch string trimmer for $399 at Woot. That’s $98 off the price Amazon charges and marks the best price that we’ve tracked in over a month, helping you get rid of gas and oil from your weekly lawn care routine. 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.

Through the end of the month, Woot is offering a wide range of outdoor lawn tools on sale. Our top pick is the Greenworks 40V 14-Inch Mower/Axial Blower/12-Inch String Trimmer Combo for $398.98 Prime shipped, with non-Prime members being charged a $6 delivery fee. Typically, this kit still goes for $497 at Amazon and today’s deal comes in at the best price that we’ve seen in over a month. For further comparison, this sale marks the lowest that we’ve tracked since it hit $331 back in March.

This all-encompassing kit will not only help you take care of mowing the lawn, but also putting the finishing touches on the side and then cleaning up afterward. The 4Ah battery included here will last of up to 45 minutes of mowing before it’s time time to plug back in. You’ll also have the option of either bagging or mulching the clippings when mowing which gives you the ability to choose how your yard is cut. There’s also the included 12-inch string trimmer which is perfect for getting up close to sidewalks and the driveway where the mower doesn’t fit. And, lastly, the axial blower moves 350 CFM of air which makes it easy to clean the yard up after finishing things off. Of course, not a single drop of gas, oil, or other fossil fuels are required for any of theses tools to function.

Jackery Explorer PRO solar bundles outfit your off-grid setup from $1,357 (Reg. $1,600+)

Amazon is now offering the Jackery Explorer 2000 PRO Solar Power Station for $2,199 shipped after clipping the on-page coupon. With a usual $2,499 going rate, today’s offer arrives with $300 in savings attached to go alongside its second-best price to date. This has been beaten once before this year when it dropped during a 1-day sale over a month ago, for comparison. Those who don’t need the solar panel can also score the power station on its own for $1,849, down from $2,099. Jackery’s Explorer 2000 Pro arrives as one of the brand’s most capable portable power stations yet with a 2160Wh output. Its three AC outlets come backed by dual USB-A as well as a pair of 100W USB-C ports for topping off smartphones, MacBooks, and other gadgets. So whether you’re looking for a tailgate companion for those upcoming games through the end of the year, or just want some extra power on-hand in case of emergencies, this power station has you covered. Then you can rely on the bundled SolarSaga 200W panel for a completely off-grid setup.

Also getting in on much of the same bundle savings, the Jackery 1000 PRO power station comes packaged together with a pair of 80W SolarSaga panels at $1,357. You’ll need to clip the on-page coupon for that price to apply, with the $240 in savings dropping the usual $1,600 going rate lower than we’ve seen in months. This package gives you much of the same off-grid experience as the lead deal, just with a smaller internal capacity and less power output. But if your campsite or tailgating rig can get away without as much juice, then the added savings will surely be appreciated.

Jackery did however just release its latest flagship offering yet. The new Explorer 3000 Pro makes a debut as the brand’s most capable portable power station yet, and right now you can lock-in $400 in savings when you pre-order the behemoth. It doesn’t matter if you’re an avid camper or need some power at a tailgate, this portable battery can handle it all. Not to mention, just lending a helping hand during power outages thanks to the 3,024Wh capacity.

Segway’s new Max G2 electric scooter with Apple Find My goes up for pre-order at $500 off

Segway’s latest electric vehicle will be hitting the scene officially in July, and ahead of time you can now save with a pre-order at Best Buy. Right now, the all-new Max G2 Electric Kick Scooter is seeing an early chance to save before it even begins shipping. Normally fetching $1,300, which is what it will officially launch at come July 15, right now you can drop the price down to $799.99 shipped courtesy of Best Buy. That scores you $500 while locking in the best offer yet for those hoping to score a new EV before summer’s end. Serving as a successor to the original Max scooter, Segway’s new offering comes equipped with some notable improvements. This time around there’s now an increased 22 MPH top speed, adding a little extra oomph to its predecessor’s 18 MPH speeds. You can also expect to travel further on a single charge thanks to a 43-mile range that’s close to twice the distance as before.

Otherwise, you’re looking at a fairly standard form-factor from Segway. The Max G2 packs a folding design that allows it to stow away in smaller package, or at least be transported around indoors with some added convenience. It comes bundled with a new 3A fast charger in the box that leads to faster refuels. Then as far as the actual driving goes, there’s a new 1,000W motor that can handle up to 22% inclines, with pnuematic wheels also leading to a smoother ride. Segway also packs in some newer smart features, like Apple Find My support for some added peace of mind.

BP celebrates the opening of its first TA DC fast charging hub in Florida

BP celebrates the opening of its first TA DC fast charging hub in Florida

Executives from TravelCenters America (TA) and BP were joined by local elected officials at a ribbon cutting for the two companies’ first DC fast charging hub on I-95 in Jacksonville, Florida – the first of several such EV charging stations to come online.

Frequent road-trippers are no doubt familiar with TA’s red, white, and blue logo and probably think of the sites as safe, convenient stops in otherwise unfamiliar surroundings. The company hopes those positive associations will carry over as its customers continue to switch from gas to electric at a record pace in 2025 and beyond.

“Today marks a significant milestone in our journey to bring new forms of energy to our customers as we support their changing mobility needs, while leveraging the best of bp and TA,” explains Debi Boffa, CEO of TravelCenters of America. Boffa, however, was quick to – but TA is quick to point out that TA isn’ no’t leaving its ICE customers behind. “While this is significant, to our loyal customers and guests, rest assured TA will continue to provide the same safe and reliable fueling options it has offered for over 50 years, regardless of the type of fuel.”

The charging hub along the I-95 offers 12 DC fast charging ports offering up to 400kW of power for lickety-quick charging. While they’re at the TA, EV drivers can visit restrooms, shop at TA’s convenience store, or eat at fast food chains like Popeyes and Subway. Other TA centers offer wifi and pet-friendly amenities as well – making them ideal partners for BP as the two companies builds out their charging networks.

As we expand our EV charging network in the US, I am thrilled to unveil our first of many hubs at TA locations,” offers Sujay Sharma, CEO of BP Pulse Americas. “These sites are strategically located across key highway corridors that provide our customers with en route charging when and where they need it most, while offering convenient amenities, like restaurants and restrooms.”

Electrek’s Take

As I type this, BP has more than 37,000 EV charging ports operational globally, and plans to have more than 100,000 in service by 2030. The company made headlines in 2022 when it announced that its EV chargers were “on the cusp” of being more profitable than its gas pumps. Three years on, it seems like that’s a done deal.

As ever, money talks.

E-quipment highlight: Toro e2500 THL and TS Electric Ultra Buggies

E-quipment highlight: Toro e2500 THL and TS Electric Ultra Buggies

The new e2500-THL and TS electric Ultra Buggies from Toro offer construction and demo crews a carrying capacity of 2500 lbs. (on the TS model), six-and-a-half foot dump height (on the THL), nearly 13 cubic ft. of capacity, and hours of quiet, fume-free operation.

Despite the second Trump administration’s loosening grip on emissions regulations, the fact remains that a growing number of municipalities in both red and blue regions of the US are continuing to clamp down on noise regulations, which means that construction crews with quiet running electric equipment will be able to get jobs that crews stubbornly holding on to diesel and gas won’t. Toro absolutely gets it, which is why its e2500-THL and TS Ultra Buggy line will be welcomed by smart crews with open arms.

For their open-mindedness, those crews will be rewarded with machines powered by 7 kWh’s worth of Toro HyperCell lithium-ion battery. That’s good enough for up to eight hours of continuous operation, according to Toro – enough for two typical working shifts.

And, thanks to the Toro Ultra Buggies’ narrow, 31.5″ width, they can easily navigate man doors on inside jobs, as well, making them ideal for indoor demolition and construction jobs. A zero-turn radius and auto-return dump mechanism that ensures the tub automatically returns to the proper resting position make things easy for the operator, too.

Toro says that each of its small (for Toro) e2500 Ultra Buggy units can replace as many as five wheelbarrows on a given job site. Pricing is expected to start at about $32,000.

Electrek’s Take

Electric equipment makes job sites cleaner, quieter, and safer than they are under diesel or gas power – and as more municipal and private sector RFPs begin to enforce ZEV requirements and quiet hours, more and more viable electric alternatives to ICE power will start to show up on more and more job sites (regardless of who is in the White House).

GM is using California wildfires to pilot mobile DC fast chargers

GM is using California wildfires to pilot mobile DC fast chargers

GM has deployed three of its HYDROTEC hydrogen gensets to the Los Angeles area as a way to help generate power for EV drivers and emergency vehicles recovering from the devastating effects of the recent wildfires.

GM is providing a number of mobile charging solutions to Californians recovering from the recent wildfires – including a trio of Yoshi Mobility propane chargers capable of DC fast charging two EVs at once, a single biofuel powered mobile charging station from InCharge capable of DC fast charging five EVs, and three more of its in-house HYDROTEC hydrogen powered gensets.

“GM is extending targeted local support to our customers and employees who have been impacted by the California wildfires,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president global commercial growth strategies and operations. “We’re finding ways to help get people back on the road and using our resources to make a difference in the recovery in the weeks and months to come.”

The mobile charging station rollout is part of a broader response to the fires from GM that includes “planned” philanthropic contributions to nonprofits serving affected communities, employee giving campaigns to benefit the American Red Cross Los Angeles region and the California Fire Foundation, and a complimentary subscription to Crisis Assist Services, which enables customers with OnStar-equipped vehicles to get information about the fires, receive routing guidance, and access immediate emergency assistance from an OnStar advisor.

GM also says it’s providing customers with damaged or destroyed GM vehicles assistance toward the purchase or lease of a new GM vehicle, subject to certain terms and conditions, which may include certain qualifications and restrictions. The company will also help cover collision repair deductible costs for damage to GM vehicles incurred from the wildfires – again, subject to certain qualifications and restrictions.

Electrek’s Take

While it’s certainly commendable for GM to take steps in an effort to support wildfire victims, it feels like a company that made more than $19 billion in gross profits in 2023 (and over $20 billion in 2022; 2024 numbers aren’t out yet – but the company did well enough to spend more than $6 billion buying back its own stock) could have done better than announcing “planned” donations and asking its employees to pony up. By my math, GM shareholders could have given each of the 163,000 global employees the company had in 2023 a $36,000 one-time bonus in lieu of those stock buybacks.

That said, how many companies are doing nothing at all? Good on GM for trying, then – here’s hoping others step up, too.
