Greenworks’ 80V cordless electric mower has ‘gas-like power’ without the mess at $373 in New Green Deals
Mowing the lawn is never a fun task, but having to go to the gas station to get fuel just to mow is probably one of the worst parts. Well, now that we’re heading toward summer of 2023, it’s time to upgrade your mower and bring it into the new age of electric lawn tools. Being electric, you won’t have to fuss with gas, oil, or other costly (and uneconomical) maintenance anymore. Simply charge the batteries, put them in the mower, and press a button to start making your lawn look great. Plus, the Greenworks 80V 21-inch mower is on sale for $373 today, which is the second-best price we’ve seen so far this year. 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.

Leave behind gas and oil when you use Greenworks’ 80V electric mower
Are you tired of having to remember to get gas for the mower when it comes time for summer lawn chores? Well, Amazon has you covered. Right now the Greenworks Pro 80V 21-inch Cordless Electric Lawn Mower is on sale for $372.81 shipped. You’ll normally pay $497 for this mower, and today’s deal comes in at a match for the second-best price we’ve seen all year long. In fact, we’ve only seen it this low once before at the beginning of May, and before that it hit $345 one time back in April, showing just how good of a deal this discount is. Not only will you get the 80V electric lawn mower, which Greenworks says has “gas-like performance,” but also two 2Ah 80V batteries which deliver up to 60 minutes of runtime per charge.
Powered by a TRUBRUSHLESS motor, this Greenworks 80V electric lawn mower has “twice the torque, power, and longer runtime” compared to normal brushed alternatives. While traditional mowers require gas every time they run, and yearly oil changes and tune ups, electric mowers need none of those things. All you have to do is charge the battery and it’s ready to mow. Occasionally, you might need some new blades, but outside of that maintenance will be next to none here. Starting it is even simple, as you just have to press the button and the quiet electric motor will whirl to life. So, if you’re ready to enter the 21st century of mowing and leave gas behind, then the Greenworks Pro 80V 21-inch model is a solid upgrade for your lawncare setup.
Juiced’s RipCurrent S e-bike lets you travel greener this summer

Designed to help you travel greener this summer, the Juiced RipCurrent S e-bike has a lot of solid features. For starters, it can travel at up to 28 MPH, which makes it easy to ride to or from work.

Well, the battery can be easily charged with solar panels or power stations, which can let you enjoy off-grid power. This means that those who value being green over all else can now travel without having to have massive batteries or large solar panel banks to charge a car. The 70+ miles of range here means you can easily travel over 30 miles to work and then the same distance back, all without having to charge mid-day. However, if you do need to power up before heading home, just plug into a standard 110V wall outlet and you’ll be ready to go. Of course, there’s also a display that shows your speed, ride mode, and battery life remaining at a glance. The rear rack and fat tires make carrying heavier loads simple, even when riding over softer terrain. Learn more about the Juiced RipCurrent S e-bike in our previous coverage.

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.
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.

Joe Rogan got himself a new Tesla Model S Plaid customized by Unplugged Performance, and I think it looks sick.
Dope or nope?
Rogan was not always a fan of electric vehicles. In fact, at one point, he was one of the biggest EV misinformation spreaders.
It wasn’t intentional. Like many, he got caught in the decades of misinformation pushed by the fossil fuel industry and some automakers trying not to make them.
He eventually got onboard after Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, convinced him to get a Model S Plaid during an interview.
The famous comedian and podcaster was impressed by the acceleration of electric vehicles, or more specifically, the Model S Plaid’s acceleration and the overall technology inside Tesla’s vehicles.
For the last year or so, he has been talking about getting a new Model S Plaid and having it modified by Tesla tuner Unplugged Performance (UP). The company has now announced that it has delivered the vehicle to Rogan:
This one-of-one build blends the best of Unplugged Performance’s engineering expertise with Joe’s vision for a perfect blend of class and aggression that can be driven daily. The result is a car that’s as striking in appearance as it is in craftsmanship and performance.
Here’s a gallery of Rogan’s new Model S Plaid:
The main modification is a widebody, which involves a “19-piece prepreg carbon fiber widebody kit that increases the width of the vehicle by 80mm.”
It is also equipped with UP-03 forged monoblock wheels and carbon fiber rocker panels with an integrated Koenigsegg Advanced Manufacturing aerodynamic shark fin at the front wheels.
Here’s Rogan checking out his new car for the first time with UP founder Ben Schaffer:
The vehicle also features UP’s upgraded suspension and brakes.
Dope or nope?
Electrek’s Take
I think it looks pretty dope. I hope it gets Joe to become better informed about electric vehicles because even since he has owned a Tesla, he has kept spreading misinformation about electric vehicles.
I like Joe, but I think he can sometimes be quite careless about the impact of his platform, and I certainly wouldn’t take anything he says too seriously unless it has to do with subjects he is an expert in, which are comedy and martial arts.
As a fan of both, I think he is genuinely knowledgeable on those and worth listening to.
However, recently, I heard him say on his podcast that electric vehicles are worse than gas-powered vehicles for air population because they are heavier and, therefore, produce more brake pad particles.
I couldn’t believe him saying that as a Tesla driver himself. Then he somehow remembered about regenerative braking greatly reducing the use of brake pads in EVs compared to fossil fuel vehicles. I thought he was redeeming himself, but no. He then added that he thought only Tesla vehicles had regenerative braking.
He could really use an EV expert to dispel much of the misinformation he has spread about EVs on his podcast.

Just days into President Donald Trump’s second administration, Wall Street is singing a different tune on crypto.
“For us, the equation is really around whether we, as a highly regulated financial institution, can act as transactors,” Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick told CNBC on Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The newfound optimism among an increasing number of bank execs who were in Davos this week is tied to Trump’s pro-crypto agenda. Trump, a vocal crypto skeptic in his first term, flipped on the issue during his 2024 campaign and came to rely on the crypto industry’s money in his effort to defeat former Vice President Kamala Harris.
The president on Thursday issued a sweeping executive order on crypto, with an emphasis on “protecting and promoting” the use and development of digital assets. Banks have been reluctant to support crypto and enable transactions to this point in large part because of the government’s position. The SEC has brought more than 200 cryptocurrency-related enforcement actions since 2013, according to Cornerstone Research.
“We’ll be working with Treasury and the other regulators to figure out how we can offer that in a safe way,” Pick said.
Trump has nominated multiple crypto advocates to critical positions across his administration. They include Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission, where he was a commissioner under President George W. Bush. Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, is Trump’s pick for secretary of Commerce, and hedge fund manager Scott Bessent was tapped to lead Treasury.
If confirmed, Bessent would oversee the IRS and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, which both play key roles in shaping tax and compliance policies for crypto transactions and setting guidelines for crypto adoption in the U.S.
Pick says Morgan Stanley will be working with federal regulators to determine whether it’s possible to deepen the bank’s ties to the cryptocurrency markets. His firm has been more aggressive than its Wall Street peers.
In 2021, Morgan Stanley became the first big U.S. bank to offer its wealthy clients access to bitcoin funds. Last August, it was the first major Wall Street player to let its financial advisors start pitching clients on some of the bitcoin exchange-traded funds that launched early last year. So far, wealth management businesses have only facilitated trades if customers requested exposure to the new spot crypto funds.
Pick suggested that the more bitcoin seeps into the mainstream, the more it’s viewed as a legitimate part of the financial system.
“The longer it trades, perception becomes reality,” he said.
‘Just another form of payment’
Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan echoed a willingness to embrace crypto, specifically as a payment option, if the regulatory environment shifts under the new administration. Speaking in Davos, Moynihan emphasized that clear guidelines could unlock broader adoption.
“If the rules come in and make it a real thing that you can actually do business with, you’ll find that the banking system will come in hard on the transactional side of it,” Moynihan said in an interview on Tuesday with CNBC.
Moynihan, who runs the second-biggest bank by assets in the U.S., noted that crypto could become “just another form of payment,” like Visa, Mastercard or Apple Pay. However, he steered clear of discussing cryptocurrencies like bitcoin as investments or stores of value, calling it “a separate question.”
Another major roadblock to Wall Street’s adoption of cryptocurrencies is an accounting rule, issued by the SEC in 2022, that requires banks to classify cryptocurrencies as liabilities on their balance sheets. The rule subjects those assets to strict capital requirements, significantly raising the financial and regulatory risks of offering crypto custody services.
Efforts to overturn the rule, known as SAB 121, gained bipartisan support in Congress last year. But then-President Joe Biden vetoed the proposed legislation, leaving the rule intact and further discouraging banks from adopting digital assets. Banks have been largely forbidden from expanding their crypto offerings beyond derivatives trading and offering ETFs to wealth management clients.
“At the moment, from a regulatory perspective, we can’t own” bitcoin, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon told CNBC in an interview in Davos this week. He said the bank would revisit the issue if the rules changed.
With the pro-crypto Trump administration now in power, there is renewed optimism that SAB 121 could be repealed or revised, allowing banks to custody crypto assets without such burdensome capital requirements.
Bitcoin hit a record of nearly $110,000 on Monday ahead of Trump’s inauguration leading broader gains in the crypto market. As of late Thursday, it was trading at around $104,000.

Tesla has officially launched the new Model Y in North America and Europe after launching it in China earlier this month.
The difference is that Tesla is now taking orders for both the older and newer versions of its best-selling electric SUV.
That’s a unique launch for Tesla. I don’t remember the automaker doing that before.
After launching the new Model Y design refresh in China two weeks ago, Tesla is now starting to take orders for the refresh in North America and Europe.
But it looks like the design refresh is still a transitional in Tesla’s production as the automaker is still taking orders for the previous version:
For the launch in North America and Europe, Tesla has only added a new “trim” on the Model Y online configurator for a ‘Launch Series New Model Y’, which is the version unveiled in China earlier this month.
But in China, only this new version has been available for sale since the last two weeks.
Tesla estimates that the new version will have 320 miles of EPA range. Compared to 311 miles for the previous Model Y Long Range AWD, the only version of the new Model Y Launch Series available.
Here are all the other changes with the new Model Y compared to the previous version:
| Feature | Model Y | New Model Y |
|---|---|---|
| Starting Price After Est. Savings | $31,490 Available Now | $46,490 Available Starting March |
| Trims | Long Range RWD Long Range AWD Performance AWD | Launch Series Long Range AWD |
| Range | 277-337 miles (EPA est.) | 303-320 miles (est.) |
| Seating | First row: power recline and heated Second row: manual fold and heated | First row: power recline, heated and ventilated Second row: power two-way folding and heated |
| Displays | 15.4″ front-row touchscreen | 15.4″ front-row touchscreen 8″ second-row touchscreen |
| Ride Comfort | First-generation suspension First-generation noise reduction hardware | Second-generation suspension Second-generation noise reduction hardware |
| Cameras | 7 exterior cameras | 8 exterior cameras (includes a new front-facing camera) |
| Audio | Long Range RWD: 7 speakers Long Range AWD: 13 speakers, 1 subwoofer Performance AWD: 13 speakers, 1 subwoofer | Launch Series Long Range AWD: 15 speakers, 1 subwoofer |
| Connectivity | First-generation hardware | Second-generation hardware |
| Trunk | Power open | Hands-free power open on approach |
| Interior | Footwell and door pocket ambient lighting Wooden detailing with black interior | Footwell and door pocket ambient lighting Wrap-around ambient lighting Aluminum detailing and premium textiles |
| Climate | Tinted and laminated safety glass Power-actuated first-row air vents Manual second-row air vents | Tinted and laminated safety glass with metallic infrared reflective coating Power-actuated first- and second-row air vents |
For the Launch Series, Tesla is pricing the new Model Y Long Range AWD at $59,999 USD. That’s $12,000 more than the previous Model Y Long Range AWD, which is still available to order.
Specifically for the Launch Series, buyers get a bunch of special badging around the car:
But they also get things called “Premium Textil Trim” and “Vegan Suede for Black Interior”:
Currently, Tesla is only offering the new Model Y in Stealth Grey, Pearl White Multi-Coat, Ultra Red, and Quicksilver, but they are all included in the Launch Series price.
The Glacier Blue that is offered in China is currently not offered in North America or Europe.
Tesla is talking about the first deliveries of this new version of the Model Y coming in March in North America.
Electrek’s Take
This came sooner than expected, as most expected the launch to be closer to March based on how Tesla launched the Model 3 refresh last year.
But this is also different since Tesla continues to take orders for the previous version.
Tesla was likely worried about the Osborne effect and this strategy of starting with this more expensive version of the Model Y, the Launch Series, is going to help sales of the much cheaper previous version.
