Combining the best of a kayak, paddle board, and electric-powered boat, the GoBoat is dubbed “the world’s most portable boat.” Powered by a fully electric motor, the GoBoat deflates, allowing you to carry it in a large backpack (or bag) or fit it in a small trunk to take it wherever your adventure awaits.

GoBoat reveals the most portable electric boat you can buy

How nice would it be to have an affordable, fully electric boat you could take anywhere? GoBoat looks to make this a reality.

The company unveiled its new GoBoat 2.0 lineup Thursday, offering more performance, stability, and compactness than the first generation that will instantly upgrade your outdoor excursions. Whether camping, RVing, or even boating, the new GoBoat opens up new possibilities for exploring uncharted territory.

Made from the company’s proprietary AirCore construction material, the GoBoat can deflate to fit in a carry bag, sedan trunk, or even backpack at a weight of 57 pounds, according to GoBoat.

When inflated (all three inflation chambers for added safety), the electric boat features a round design to help you easily navigate.

The included 12V trolling motor, designed by GoBoat, has 35 pounds of thrust with a 24-inch shaft in a bow mount configuration. It is the “lightest and most compact 35 lbs thrust motor on the market” with five speeds forward and two speeds reverse.

You can take the GoBoat in fresh or saltwater with an added anti-corrosion system in place to protect it in the sea. In addition, the electric boat’s two-blade machete propeller won’t let weeds slow your roll.

Perhaps the best part is being able to silently glide across the water with a zero-emission electric motor.

GoBoat currently offers three versions of the world’s most portable electric boat. The mini, for small adults and kids, has a 55-inch diameter, while the adult model extends to a 70-inch diameter. A third model is designed for fishing with extra storage and attachments.

The mini version starts at around $683 (it’s on sale right now for under $500), and the adult model starts at approximately $1,000 (it’s also on sale for $753 right now) on the company’s website.

Buyers can elect to purchase their own battery or buy from GoBoat. The company highly suggests using a lithium battery due to its weight, charging ability, and life span. GoBoat offers its RoyPow 12V 30AH lithium battery for $169.99.

bp pulse cranks up DC fast charging with Arizona debut

bp pulse is continuing to roll out public DC fast charging across the US, and the company has opened its first-ever site in Arizona, along with new fast-charging locations in Texas, Florida, and Ohio.

In Arizona, bp pulse’s first site is now online at the Petro Travel Center in Eloy, just off Interstate 10 at Exit 200 (pictured). The location features 16 charging bays delivering up to 400 kilowatts, with both CCS and NACS connectors available. While charging, drivers can take advantage of the travel center’s onsite diner, convenience store, ATM, barber shop, and restrooms.

In South Florida, bp pulse’s new fast-charging site is at 2400 Miami Road in Fort Lauderdale, about three miles from Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport. The site features 16 charging bays, offering a mix of 150 kW and 400 kW speeds, with both CCS and NACS connectors. Its proximity to the airport makes it a handy stop for ride-hail drivers, EV rental returns, and airport pickups and drop-offs, with hotels, restaurants, and convenience stores nearby.

Texas is also getting more high-power charging, with a new bp pulse site at the Petro Travel Center in El Paso, located off Interstate 10 at Exit 37. This location offers 12 charging bays capable of delivering up to 400 kW, again with both CCS and NACS connectors. Drivers can take advantage of the diner, convenience store, barber shop, and restrooms while they charge.

In Ohio, bp pulse has opened a smaller but still high-powered site at a TravelCenters of America location in Hebron, just off Interstate 70 at Exit 126. The site includes six 400 kW charging bays with CCS and NACS connectors, along with access to a convenience store, fast-food options, and restrooms.

These openings are part of bp pulse’s broader plan to build out EV charging across bp’s retail footprint, including bp, Amoco, ampm, Thorntons, and TravelCenters of America locations. Many of those sites are designed to combine fast charging with food, restrooms, and other travel amenities. bp has also said it plans to begin adding EV chargers at Waffle House locations starting in 2026.

EV incentives climb as prices soften heading into late 2025

EV incentives climb as prices soften heading into late 2025

Electric vehicle prices edged lower and incentives jumped in November, but the month still saw a sales slowdown as the US EV market continues to hunt for a new normal.

Initial estimates from Kelley Blue Book show that EV sales came in at just over 70,000 units in November, more than 40% lower than a year ago and about 5% below October’s level.

The average transaction price (ATP) for a new EV in November was $58,638. That’s up 3.7% year-over-year but down 0.8% from October. Incentives told a different story: Discounts averaged 13.3% of ATP, which is lower than in November 2024 but jumped 20.1% compared to October.

Tesla continued to feel the pressure. The automaker’s ATP was $54,310 in November – down 1.7% from the same period a year ago but up 1.5% month-over-month. Sales declined for the second straight month and were down 22.7% year-over-year, mainly because of a drop in Model 3 demand.

Model 3 sales slid 42.1% compared to November 2024 and fell 11.9% from October. Meanwhile, the Model Y, still the best‑selling EV in the US, saw prices increase 0.9% year-over-year and month-over-month. Model Y sales were slightly lower than last November, down 0.5%, but rose 2.5% compared to October.

The Tesla Cybertruck showed signs of cooling. Once the best‑selling vehicle priced above $100,000, Cybertruck sales fell to 1,194 units in November, the lowest monthly total of 2025 so far. Its average price was $94,254, higher both year-over-year and compared to October.

Taken together, the numbers paint a picture of an EV market in transition: prices are easing, incentives are rising, but buyers are still holding back as the industry tries to settle into its next phase.

Cox Automotive executive analyst Erin Keating said, “It’s important to remember that the KBB ATP is a measure of what is bought, not what is available. Nearly half of new-vehicle buyers are over the age of 55 and in their peak earning years. These buyers are more likely shopping for a high-end SUV, not something cheap and cheerful. In November, the over-$75,000 price point saw more volume than under-$30,000.”
