Huffy today has their huge “shed” sale on eBikes (and acoustic bikes too) knocking as much as 66% off the prices of some of their popular eBikes which come with free shipping over $49. Huffy bikes and batteries are UL 2849 standard listed so there’s reduced fire risk, too. To sweeten the pot, students can knock another 30% off the price making the starting price under $300(!!)

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.

Huffy eBikes go on deep discount starting at just $425 in time for spring joyrides

Probably my favorite one here is the Panama Jack 26-inch fat tire 500W model that comes with a removable bag basket, bottle opener (!!), and cup holder for $699. And this is’t just for DUI folks with pulled licenses, though it will serve them nicely. That 48V 500W motor will go up to class 1 speeds 20mph and beyond for up to 40 miles of range. The fat tires are going to be great for the beach or absorbing potholes.

If low price is the priority, check out the Everett + Men’s 27.5-inch Electric Comfort Bike, which drops to $425. Also if you are into the 20-inch fat tire folding scene, Huffy has the Motoric Adult 20″ Electric Folding Bike, Black Blue or Green, 36V for $799, normally $1600.

Let meross’ smart switch turn your lights off for you

The official meross Amazon storefront is currently offering its 3-way HomeKit Wi-Fi Smart Dimmer Switch Kit for $40.99 shipped once you clip the on-page coupon for Prime members. Typically $52 for non-Prime members and on sale for $47 if you have Amazon’s subscription service, today’s deal comes in with as much as $11 in savings and also marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. For further comparison, our last mention for this kit was back in February at $46. If you’re looking for an easy way to save some cash this summer, turn your lights off. It’s really that simple. Even though you might have switched to all LED lights throughout the house, like I did, leaving them on all day or even overnight will add up for sure. And, remembering to turn all the lights off in the house before leaving for work can be hit or miss.

Are you wondering how much electricity it could be? Well, an average 60W-equivilant LED light takes up 9W of electricity. Leave 10 of those on for 10 hours (an average time to be gone from home for an 8-hour workday with travel time), and you’ve now used 1kW of power. Double that to 20 bulbs, and that’s 2kW, and so on. Given how many bulbs are in our homes, it’s easy to see how that can add up over days or weeks. That’s where smart switches come in.

This switch simply installs in the wall in place of your existing switch, delivering smart control the moment it’s paired to your Wi-Fi network. Today’s deal is designed to work with 3-way lights, but in areas where you just need one, meross has a 2-pack of similar (non-dimmer) switches for $22 at Amazon. Once you install and set up, then it’ll be easy to add the light switches into your smart home routines, automatically turning the house off when you leave and back on whenever you arrive at home. This means that throughout the day when nobody’s home, you won’t be burning electricity, spending money, and using up more fossil fuels at the power generation plant. An added benefit is integration with your favorite voice control platform, be that Siri, Alexa, or Assistant. This allows you to do things like say “Hey Siri, turn the lights off” as you go to sleep in the bedroom and have the whole house turn off with ease, saving money overnight just the same.

Our exclusive code saves $898 on EcoFlow’s latest DELTA 2 Max power station at $1,599

Wellbots has partnered with 9to5Toys to offer our readers a special deal on the all-new EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max. The Portable Power Station with two 160W Solar Panels is now on sale for $1,599 shipped with the code TOYSGREEN50 at checkout. The Delta 2 Max just launched last week at $1,899 for the power station alone, and $2,548 when bundled with a single 220W solar panel. Buying the power station and dual 160W solar panels right now would set you back a total of $2,497, with today’s deal saving $898 and also marking the first discount that we’ve tracked on the recently-released power station.

As EcoFlow’s latest release, the DELTA 2 Max offers quite a lot of features. For starters, it can recharge from 0% to 100% in just 81 minutes when plugged into an AC outlet and go from 0% to 100% in 2.3 hours when leveraging the full 1,000W solar input capacity. If you need to get to just 80%, then it’ll take just 53 minutes when plugged into the wall. This means that you can keep the power station recharged at home, but also easily power up on-the-go, making this an ideal option for those who want to live off-grid for any length of time this summer. Keep reading for more.

EcoFlow’s latest power station also has a lot of output options to run your campsite or home with. Delivering up to 2,400W of continuous AC power, the DELTA 2 Max has enough juice to run a fridge, freezer, small heater or AC, and much more. There are also dual 100W USB-C ports for charging your MacBook Pro or other device as well as multiple other output options to hook up a wide range of products. Of course, you won’t need any gas or oil for this power station thanks to its LFP batteries, which EcoFlow claims will last for 3,000 charging cycles before losing 20% of its capacity, which is five times the competition.

The included two 160W solar panels will be perfect for charging up your new power station when off-grid, as well. Both can plug into each other then the DELTA 2 Max and provide up to 320W of electricity from nothing more than the sun’s rays. This means that you can recharge the DELTA 2 Max while camping and not have to worry about finding a traditional plug to top the power station off. Plus, if the power goes out at home, then these solar panels would also be a great way to keep the fridge and freezer running for an extended period of time until the lights come back on. Find out more about the EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max in our announcement coverage.

Down from $600, you’re looking at the first notable discount of the year at Amazon, alongside status as being a new 2023 low. This 26% off is $6 under the previous offer, as well. As one of the most capable electric lawn mowers we’ve seen go on sale from Greenworks as of late, this model stands out with 48V of power that pairs with a larger 21-inch cutting deck. Alongside being self-propelled so you don’t have to work too hard pushing the tool around your yard, it also rocks a 4-in-1 design for bagging, mulching or side discharge – plus an added turbo mode for extra power.

All the EVs (and one PHEV) you can buy with 0% financing in March 2025 [update]

All the EVs (and one PHEV) you can buy with 0% financing in March 2025 [update]

Lease deals get all the hype, but most people still want to own the car after they’re done making all those payments on it. If that sounds like you, and you’ve been waiting for the interest rates on auto loans to drop, you’re in luck: there are a bunch of great plug-in cars you can buy with 0% financing this March … and that includes a zero percent Tesla deal!

UPDATE: some American icons return to the list, and we’ve got more bonus cash offers, too!

I’ve done a couple of these now, so you probably already know that there were plenty of ways for me to present this information. “Best EVs ..?” Too opinion based. “Cheapest EVs ..?” Too much research. In the end, I went with alphabetical order, by make. And, as for which deals are new this month? You’re just gonna have to read the article. Enjoy!

Acura ZDX

2024 Acura ZDX; via Acura.

The 2024 Acura ZDX uses a GM Ultium battery and drive motors, but the styling, interior, and infotainment software are all Honda. That means you’ll get a solidly-built EV with GM levels of parts support and Honda levels of fit, finish, and quality control. All that plus Apple CarPlay and 0% financing for up to 72 months makes the ZDX one the best sporty crossover deals in the business.

All the electric Chevy EVs (again)

For the second month in a row, Chevrolet is offering 0% financing for up to 60 months on all three of its Ultium-based EVs – and they’re all winners. The Silverado is an incredibly capable pickup that can be spec’ed up to a 10,500 lb. GVWR, making it eligible for Class 3 incentives up to $30,000 in some markets and capable enough to tow whatever horse, boat, or RV you put behind it.

On the crossover side, both the Chevy Blazer EV and Equinox EV each offer their own takes on the five-passenger family SUV, with the cost of base model Equinox LT FWD models with 319 miles of EPA-rated range dropping to just $27,500 after you apply the $7,500 Federal tax credit (which, for now, is still a thing).

Dodge Charger EV

As the auto industry transitions to electric, Dodge is hoping that at least a few muscle car enthusiasts with extra cash, will find their way to a Dodge store and ask for the meanest, loudest, tire-shreddingest thing on the lot.

These days, that’s the new electric Charger – and you still owed money on the Hemi you just totaled, Dodge will help get the deal done on its latest retrotastic ride with a $3,000 rebate plus 0% financing for up to 72 months!

Ford Mustang Mach-E

This month, you can get a killer deal on a new 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E (shown, above). Through March 31st, you can get $2,500 in bonus cash, a free L2 home charger installed, plus 0% financing for up to 72 months. Tesla owners can also get an additional $1,000 in conquest cash, bringing the hood money total to $3,500.

Ford also announced a 0% financing deal plus $4,000 in bonus cash on the F-150 Lightning pickup, while Ford Pro customers buying an F-150 Lightning for their commercial or public fleet can get even better deals on the OG electric trucks.

GMC Hummer and Sierra Denali EV

2025 GMC SIERRA EV DENALI

The biggest Ultium-based EVs from GM’s commercial truck brand are seriously impressive machines, with shockingly quick acceleration and on-road handling that seems to defy the laws of physics once you understand that these are, essentially, medium-duty trucks. This month, GMC is doing its best to move out its existing inventory of 2024s, so if you’re a fan of heavy metal you’ll definitely want to stop by your local GMC dealer and give the Hummer EV and Sierra Denali EV a test drive.

Honda Prologue

Honda-Pologue-2025

Despite the Honda Prologue was one of the top-selling electric crossovers last year by combining GM’s excellent Ultium platform with Honda sensibilities and Apple CarPlay, Honda upgraded the 2025 model with slightly more EPA range. Even so, there’s still some remaining 2024 inventory out there and dealers are ready to deal (that’s what they do, after all). To make room for the 2025 models, Honda is offering 0% APR for up to 72 months on the remaining 2024s.

Hyundai IONIQ 5

Hyundai is still offering 0% financing for 60 months on all versions of the hot-selling 2024 IONIQ 5 crossover, making it hard to overlook in the five-passenger segment. It’s worth noting that Hyundai is also offering the 5 with $7,500 bonus cash in select markets, but that offer can’t be stacked with the 0%, so do some math before deciding which way you want to go.

All the Kia EVs

2024 Kia Niro EV; via Kia.

Kia’s EV6 and EV9 have been grabbing headlines and setting sales records sine the Kia EV6 shocked the world, making its global debut on a drag strip where the car ran against a Lamborghini, a Porsche, and an AMG Mercedes (and won). This month, however, it’s the Kia Niro EV’s turn to shine thanks to 0% financing on the fun, compact urban runabout for up to 60 months.

The Niro’s bigger siblings are getting the 0% treatment, too, for a longer 72 month term.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV; via Mitsubishi.

One of the first three-row plugin cars to hit the market (and a frequent addition to these 0% lists), Mitsubishi’s Outlander PHEV offers up to 38 miles of electric range from its 20 kWh li-ion battery, making it a great “lily pad” vehicle for suburban families who want to drive electric but still worry about being able to find a charging station when they need one.

Nissan Ariya

2024 Nissan Ariya; via Nissan.

I’ve already said that the Nissan Ariya didn’t get a fair shake. If you click that link, you’ll read about a car that offers solid driving dynamics, innovative interior design, and all the practicality that makes five-passenger crossovers the must-haves they’ve become for most families. With great discounts available at participating dealers, Supercharger access, and 0% interest from Nissan for up to 72 months, Nissan dealers should have no trouble finding homes for their remaining 2024 Ariya crossovers.

Subaru Soltera

Subaru Solterra
2023 Subaru Soltera; via Subaru.

Despite being something of a slow seller, this mechanical twin of the Toyota bZ4X EV seems like a solid mid-size electric crossover with some outdoorsy vibes and granola style that offers more than enough utility to carry your mountain bikes to the trail or your kayaks to the river. The company is hoping to help clear out its remaining 2024 models with big discounts and 0% financing for up to 72 months.

Tesla Model 3

Tesla Model 3 Highland Refresh
Model 3 Highland; via Tesla.

Say what you will about Elon Musk – and I say plenty over on the Quick Charge podcast – the fact remains that we wouldn’t be here talking about EVs at all if it wasn’t for his marketing brilliance, bravado, and sheer force of will. Beyond that, Tesla simply offers as superior ownership experience through total software integration, unfettered access to the Supercharger network, and the best EV route-planning software this side of Chargeway.

If you can stomach being associated with Elon (or have an inside line on some spare Honda badges), you can get a new Model 3 for 0% interest or 0.99% with $0 down if you apply the $7,500 Federal tax incentive at the point of purchase.

Volkswagen ID.4

Volkswagen-EVs-in-2023
VW ID.4; via Volkswagen.

One of the most popular legacy EVs, the ID.4 offers Volkswagen build quality and (for 2024) a Chat-GPT enabled interface. To keep ID.4 sales rolling, VW dealers are getting aggressive with discounts, making this fast-charging, 291 mile EPA-rated range, 5-star safety rated EV a value proposition that’s tough to beat.

This month, get a Volkswagen ID.4 with 0% financing for up to 72 months plus a $5,000 customer cash bonus to stack with it.

Disclaimer: the vehicle models and financing deals above were sourced from CarsDirectCarEdge, and (where mentioned) the OEM websites – and were current as of 09MAR2025. These deals may not be available in every market, with every discount, or for every buyer (the standard “with approved credit” fine print should be considered implied). Check with your local dealer(s) for more information.

Workhorse electric delivery vans arrive in Canada this spring

Workhorse electric delivery vans arrive in Canada this spring

Following approval from Transport Canada, EV startup Workhorse will be bringing the W56 and W750 model electric delivery vans to commercial truck dealers in Canada as early as this spring.

Workhorse first showed its W56 medium-duty electric truck at Indiana’s Work Truck Week in 2023, and has sold the trucks to logistics and delivery companies like FedEx and Pride Group – which ordered more than six thousand of the electric vans in 2021, and continues to expand its fleet.

“This is a major step forward for Workhorse,” says Josh Anderson, Workhorse’s chief technology officer in a press statement. “Pre-clearance from Transport Canada opens up a large new market for our products throughout Canada, including with fleets that operate across borders in North America.”

As part of the approval process, Workhorse completed its registration as a foreign manufacturer under Transport Canada’s Appendix G clearance program. Transport Canada confirmed the vans’ compliance with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) for both vehicles – but it remains to be seen if and how the latest tariff-driven trade war between the Trump Administration’s US and Canada will impact Workhorse’s plans to expand throughout North America.

Despite that uncertainty, Workhorse execs remain upbeat. “We’re excited that our electric step vans can now reach Canadian roads and highways, providing reliable, zero-emission solutions that customers can depend on,” added Anderson.

Canadian pricing has yet to be announced.

Electrek’s Take

There’s no other way to say it: the Trump/Musk co-presidency is disrupting a lot of companies’ plans – and that’s especially true across North American borders. But in all this chaos and turmoil there undoubtedly lies opportunity, and it will be interesting to see who ends up on top.

Liebherr developing giant, 140-ton Segway-style autonomous haulers [video]

Liebherr developing giant, 140-ton Segway-style autonomous haulers [video]

The new Liebherr S1 Vision 140-ton hauler is unlike any heavy haul truck currently on the market – primarily because the giant, self-propelled, single-axle autonomous bucket doesn’t look anything like any truck you’ve ever seen.

Liebherr says its latest heavy equipment concept was born from a desire to rethink truck design with a focus only on core functions. The resulting S1 Vision is primarily just a single axle with two powerful electric motors sending power to a pair of massive airless tires designed carry loads up to 131 tonnes (just over 140 tons).

The design enables rapid maintenance, as important components easily accessible for quick servicing. Wear parts can be replaced efficiently, and the electric drive significantly reduces maintenance work. This helps to minimise downtimes and increases operational efficiency.

LIEBHERR

Because of its versatility, durability, and ability to perform zero-turn maneuvers that other equipment simply can’t, the Liebherr S1 Vision can be adapted for various applications, including earthmoving, mining, and even agriculture. There’s also a nonzero chance of this technology finding applications supporting other on-site equipment through charging or fuel delivery.

The S1 accomplishes that trick safely with the help of an automatic load leveling system that ensures maximum stability, even on bumpy or rough terrain. The company says this technology significantly reduces the risk of tipping while providing smooth and secure operation across various environments.

Liebherr will show the S1 Vision at this year’s bauma equipment exhibition in Munich, Germany. The design has already been nominated for the bauma Innovation Award in the Mechanical Engineering category – and my money’s on it winning.

Electrek’s Take

This is such goofy, stupid fun that if it was wheelbarrow-sized I’d have three of them. I can’t imagine the insanity of watching one of these things roll across a job site with 100 tons of granite in the bucket – and will have nightmares about the kind of damage it could do if it flipped out like a poorly made Chinese hoverboard clone whipping a toddler across a living room … which, in fairness, would probably get a billion views on Instagram or TikTok or whatever.

I can’t wait.
