Are you prepping for this year’s big camping trip now that the weather is starting to warm up? Well, be sure to have Goal Zero’s Yeti 6000X portable power station packed too. Right now, you can get the expansive power station alongside two 300W solar panels for $1,360 off its normal rate. Down to an all-time low price of $6,175, the Yeti 6000X packs two grounded AC plugs, a 60W USB-C port, and much more, all without requiring a single drop of gas or oil to function. 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.

Goal Zero’s Yeti 6000X power station includes two solar panels

Goal Zero’s official Amazon storefront is offering its Yeti 6000X Portable Power Station with two Ranger 300 Solar Panels for $6,174.57 shipped. Down from a normal going rate of $7,535 at Amazon typically, today’s deal comes in at only the second time we’ve seen it this low. Not only does today’s deal deliver the best price to date, but also saves $1,360 in the process. In fact, this same kit still goes for full price direct from Goal Zero, for further comparison.

This portable power station really does it all. There are two included 300W solar panels which deliver a total of 600W of output from nothing more than the sun’s rays. The power station itself has a capacity of 6,071Wh and will be used to run the connected devices. The battery will keep things going when the sun goes behind clouds or at night, and the solar panels will provide electricity for use during the day. Whether you’re looking for an off-grid power solution or just something to keep on hand for backup if the lights go out, the Yeti 6000X is a solid choice. For outputs, you’ll find two grounded AC plugs with a combined supported load of 2,000W with peaks to 3,500W, alongside a pair of 60W and 18W USB-C ports and then a 2.4A USB-A port as well. On top of that, there’s various DC outputs on the Yeti 6000X including a 12V car plug so you can hook up additional devices with relative ease. Of course, no gas or oil is required here, and you can learn more about Goal Zero products in our previous coverage.

Save $180 on this 21-inch 80V Greenworks electric lawn mower at $400 (New 2023 low)

As part of this Best Buy flash sale that went live today, the retailer is now offering a well-timed discount on one of Greenworks’ more capable grass cutters. Its 21-inch 80V electric lawn mower arrives with $399.99 sale price through the end of the week and ships free for all shoppers. Down from $580 at Best Buy, it actually sells for $600 direct from Greenworks and is now down to the best price of the year. The $180 in savings marks one of the first offers we’ve seen on this all year, but does undercut a similar model we saw earlier in the spring by $20 for some added comparison. As the most capable electric lawn mower we’ve seen go on sale from Greenworks as of late, this model stands out with 80V of power that pairs with a larger 21-inch cutting deck. Alongside being self-propelled so you don’t have to work too hard, it also rocks a 4-in-1 design for bagging, mulching or side discharge – plus an added turbo mode for extra power. There’s of course no gas or oil to fuss with here either, so you can kickstart your mowing routine ahead of summer with a bit of a green touch.

Also on sale right now, this 14-inch Greenworks mower provides an even more affordable solution for cutting the grass without getting gas or oil involved. Down from the usual $280 going rate, Amazon has marked down the 24V solution down to $209.99. It won’t be quite as capable as the lead deal, but undercuts its price by nearly 50% to deliver an alternative electric mowing solution.

Save $200 on Segway’s latest F series Ninebot electric scooters from $450 at Amazon

Amazon now offers the new Segway Ninebot F40 Electric Kick Scooter for $599.99 shipped. Marking the second-best price to date, today’s offer is dropping down from the usual $800 going rate. With those $200 in savings attached, today’s offer clocks in at $4 under our previous mention from earlier in the spring and is now within $15 of the all-time low set just once before. Segway’s latest electric scooter arrives as the flagship of the F series lineup. It sports an 18.6 MPH top speed and can handle going 25 miles on a single charge all thanks to the 350W motor. This time around there are also new 10-inch pneumatic tires that pair with improved shock absorption for a smoother ride, as well as a front-wheel drum brake to complement its typical regenerative breaking features. You can learn all about the new folding scooter in our launch coverage right here, too.

Stepping down to the F30 form-factor, another one of Segway’s more recent electric vehicles is also on sale. This model also comes powered by a 300W motor, but is backed by a longer 18.6-mile range. It can handle the same 15.5 MPH top speeds as above, and can climb steep hills much like the model above. This one sits at $449.99 on Amazon right now, delivering not only a more affordable alternative to the F40 model above, but clocking in at $200 off the usual $650 going rate. It’s $130 under our previous mention, too.

Kia EV4 test drive reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly

Kia EV4 test drive reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly

Can Kia’s first electric sedan live up to the hype? After launching the EV4 in Korea, we are finally seeing it in action. A new test drive of the EV4 gives us a closer look at what to expect as Kia prepares to take it global. Here’s how it went down.

Kia EV4 test drive: The good, the bad, and the ugly

Kia claims the EV4 will “set a new standard in electric vehicles” with long-range capabilities, fast charging, and a sleek new design.

The electric sedan features a unique, almost sports-car-like profile with a long-tail silhouette and added roof spoiler.

Kia claims it is “the new look of a sedan fit for the era of electrification.” Despite its four-door design, the company is calling it a new type of sedan.

The design is not only eye-catching, but it’s also super efficient. With a drag coefficient of just 0.23, the EV4 is Kia’s most aerodynamic vehicle so far, enabling maximum driving range and efficiency.

Kia opened EV4 orders in South Korea in March, starting at about $29,000 (41.92 million won). It’s available with two battery options: 58.2 kWh and 81.4 kWh. The entry-level “Standard Air” model, powered by the 58.2 kWh battery, is rated with up to 237 miles of driving range.

The “Long-Range Air” variant starts at 46.29 million won ($31,800) and has a driving range of up to 331 miles (533 km) in Korea.

With charging speeds of up to 350 kW, the EV4 can charge from 10% to 80% in around 29 minutes. The long-range battery will take about 31 minutes.

The interior boasts Kia’s latest ccNC infotainment system with a 30″ Ultra-wide Panoramic Display. The setup includes dual 12.3″ driver displays, navigation screens, and a 5″ air conditioning panel.

With deliveries kicking off, we are seeing some of the first test drives come out. A review from HealerTV gives us a better idea of what it’s like to drive the EV4 in person.

Sitting next to Kia’s first pickup, the Tasman, the reviewer mentions the EV4 feels “particularly newer.” The test drive starts around the city with a ride quality similar to that of the K5, if not even better.

As you can see from the camera shaking, the ride feels “a bit uncomfortable” on rough roads. However, on normal surfaces and speed bumps, Kia’s electric sedan “feels neither too soft nor too hard,” just normal. The reviewer calls the EV4’s overall ride quality “quite ordinary” with “nothing particularly special about it.”

When accelerating, the electric car was smooth in the beginning but felt “a little lacking in later stages.” Overall, it should be enough for everyday use.

One of the biggest issues was that the rear window appeared too low. The rear brake lights also stick out, making it hard to see clearly through the rearview.

Keep in mind that the test drive was the Korean-spec EV4. Kia will launch the EV4 in Europe later this year and in the US in early 2026.

In the US, the EV4 will include a built-in NACS port for charging at Tesla Superchargers and a driving range of up to 330 (EPA-est) miles. Prices will be revealed closer to launch, but the EV4 is expected to start at around $35,000 to $40,000.

Would you buy Kia’s electric sedan for around $35,000? Or would you rather have the Tesla Model 3, which starts at $42,490 in the US and has up to 363 miles of range? Let us know in the comments.

Hyundai’s 2026 IONIQ 9 EV lease and incentives just dropped – here’s what you’ll pay

Hyundai’s 2026 IONIQ 9 EV lease and incentives just dropped – here's what you’ll pay

Hyundai’s 2026 IONIQ 9 EV is launching with a lease deal, affordable rates, and a big rebate, making the automaker’s largest EV a competitive choice.

Leasing a 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9

CarsDirect reports that, according to a bulletin sent to dealers, the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 S is $419 for 36 months with $4,999 due at signing based on 10,000 miles a year. That makes the effective cost of the nationally available lease $558 monthly. 

That’s slightly more expensive than the Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, which debuted this week. It can be leased for $399 with $4,093 at signing or $513 per month. That’s a price difference of only $45 per month, potentially making the IONIQ 9 a better value, since Hyundai’s first three-row electric SUV gives you more car for the money.

The IONIQ 9 offers 335 miles of driving range, fast charging capabilities, room for seven, and prices start at $60,555.

Financing and incentives

Hyundai isn’t offering rebates on the IONIQ 9, but good news – it qualifies for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit because it’s manufactured in Georgia.

The IONIQ 9 has national financing rates as low as 1.99% APR for up to 60 months. For a lower monthly payment, there’s a 72-month option at 2.99%. Compare that to the most affordable 2026 Tesla Model Y, which has a 72-month option at 5.49% APR, and it shows what a good deal it is.

There’s also a $5,000 financing incentive available, but you have to choose a loan at a higher interest rate to get it. The $5,000 Dealer Choice Bonus helps lower prices if you finance at 5.99% for 60 months and 6.59% for 72 months. 

However, it’s cheaper to opt for the 1.99% APR deal instead of the Dealer Choice Bonus and higher interest rate; CarsDirect found that the 1.99% APR could save IONIQ 9 buyers up to $2,200:

On a 5-year loan at 1.99%, we estimate the IONIQ 9 would cost $63,084. With the APR and rebate combo, it would cost $63,783. Here, opting for the lower rate would save buyers roughly $700. But that’s not the whole story. That’s because Dealer Choice offers, available on many Hyundais, allow a mark-up of up to 1%.

As a result, the $5,000 rebate and higher rate of 6.99% could cost buyers over $2,200 more than simply taking the lower rate to begin with.
