Prep for summer lawn chores with RYOBI’s 48V 30-inch electric riding mower at $2,299 ($1,700 off) in New Green Deals
While smaller yards can use a walk-behind or self-propelled electric mower for summer lawn chores, some homes need something a bit larger and more powerful. That’s where electric riding mowers come in. While riding mowers are typically expensive, and electric mowers can be several thousand dollars, RYOBI has your back in an effort to help people cut fossil fuel usage this summer. Right now, you can score the RYOBI 48V 30-inch electric riding mower on sale for $2,299, which is a full $1,700 off its normal going rate and even matches the all-time low that we’ve only seen once before. 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.

Cut fossil fuel usage with RYOBI’s 30-inch electric riding mower
Home Depot is offering the RYOBI 48V 30-inch Electric Riding Lawn Mower for $2,299 shipped. Normally going for $3,999 when in stock at Home Depot, today’s deal comes in at a match of our last mention from back in March. It’s only the second time we’ve seen it this low, and matches the best price we’ve seen all-time. While this mower might be a bit smaller than other riders out there, the 30-inch deck actually comes in with some nice benefits. For starters, it’ll fit through most fence gates, which means you can easily transition from the front to back yard with it. And, while it’s not the latest lithium-ion mower from RYOBI, you’ll still find that this rider doesn’t need gas or oil to function, making it a greener alternative for tackling lawn chores this summer.
Powered by three brushless motors and a 30-inch cutting deck, this mower is great for reducing pollution, fossil fuel usage, and even noise when mowing the lawn this summer. The 50Ah 48V lead-acid battery will net around an acre of mowing before having to plug it back in. This mower’s deck has seven height positions that range from 1.5 to 4.5 inches tall, meaning that you can really dial this mower into whatever height you want to cut your yard at. Of course, yearly maintenance (as well as monthly gas trips to get fuel) will be cut by your moving to an electric mower here. Plus, like we mentioned, RYOBI’s electric mower produces less noise all around, making it nicer to use at any time of the day.
Automate lamps, fans, heaters, and more with Govee’s dual smart plug
Govee’s official Amazon storefront is offering a 4-pack of its Wi-Fi Dual Smart Plugs on sale for $29.99 shipped once you clip the on-page coupon. Today’s deal delivers a full 25% in savings and comes in at $10 off. Not only that, but it’s $2 below the previous best pricing and marks a new low that we’ve tracked. Smart plugs have a lot of uses around your home, but one you might not think of is the energy saving implications of using them. Today’s deal is actually pretty unique, too, as it’s a 4-pack of dual smart plugs for just $7.50 each, and each one is individually-controlled, meaning you’ll have eight smart outlets in your home once picking the kit up.
All you’ll have to do is plug in various items in your home and the smart plug can begin automating your life. One great thing to use smart plugs for is lamps or other lights around the house. Simply program it to turn them off when you leave and on when you come back home. Not sure how much power that’ll save? Well, even if you’re using LEDs, most bulbs are around 10W or so of power draw. Leave that light on for 10 hours throughout the day, and you’ve now used 100W of electricity. Multiply that by a few lights in your house, five days a week, and you’re burning several kW of power every month for lighting a home that nobody’s in. On top of that, you can use smart plugs to turn on things like mini air conditioners, fans, or heaters depending on the season, ensuring those aren’t left on when nobody’s home, either. The smart plugs here can be controlled by the Govee app as well as either Alexa or Assistant, allowing for full programming as well as voice commands.
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.
Joining this price drop on this more powerful Greenworks electric mower at $156 off and a series of ongoing seasonal deals from the brand, you’ll find a series of offers now live from $8 on Amazon highlighted below to kit out your yard prep setup at a discount as well:

Now is great time to be enjoying the outdoors and Amazon is here to help with the Gotrax S3 Fat Tire Electric Bike in gray down at $464 shipped. For comparison, this model tends to clock in at $529, so you’re looking at a $65 markdown. Today’s offer is $41 above the all-time low, which hasn’t occured since an off-season discount back in January. Considering the fact that we’re right in the middle of summer now, $65 off what is one of the more affordable e-bikes out there is certainly worth considering. Learn more about what this model is capable of in the details down below.
Outfitted with a peak 750W motor, this compact e-bike can reach up to 20 MPH speeds. You can use it in a pedal-assisted mode to travel “up to 25 miles” or enjoy a pure electric ride for as many as “15.5 miles.” Once the battery is depleted, plug it in and you’ll be ready to go again in roughly 5 hours. I really like the compact nature of this e-bike, and this really rings true given its foldable design, making it easy to pack up and take to a local bike path.

The Chevy Equinox EV, or “America’s most affordable 315+ range EV,” as GM calls it, is red-hot. Thanks to the electric Equinox, Chevy is solidifying its position as the fastest-growing EV brand in the US. The Chevy Equinox EV helped GM’s electric vehicle sales more than double in Q2, but there’s more to the story.
The Chevy Equinox EV is charging up GM’s sales
GM surpassed Ford and Hyundai Motor last year to become the second-best EV seller in the US. This year, it’s closing the gap with Tesla.
Led by the Equinox EV, GM’s EV sales more than doubled in Q2, and Chevy solidified its position as the number two electric vehicle brand.
Chevy’s electric vehicle sales surged 134% in the first half. In Q2, Chevy sold 17,420 Equinox, 6,549 Blazer, and 3,056 Silverado EVs. Through June, GM has now sold 27,749 Equinox, 12,736 Blazer, and 5,439 electric Silverado models. The Chevy Equinox EV is expected to be one of the top three best-selling EVs in the US.
Although Chevy’s new EVs are a hit, they are not the only growth driver behind GM’s success. The American automaker sold a total of 46,280 electric vehicles in Q2, representing a 111% increase from the same period in 2024.
GM’s share of the EV market in Q2 was approximately 16%, with growth across the Chevy, Cadillac, and GMC brands.
Cadillac notched its 12th consecutive quarter of retail sales growth, achieving its highest market share since 2014.
With a full lineup of electric SUVs, including the entry-level (Optiq), midsize (Lyriq), and full-size (Vestiq and Escalade IQ), nearly one in four Cadillac models sold were EVs. GM sold 3,224 Cadillac Optiqs, its new entry-level EV, 5,017 Lyriqs, 1,744 Vistiqs, and 1,810 Escalade IQs in the second quarter.
After launching the new 2026 Sierra EV with an over $27,000 price cut from the 2025 model year, GMC sold over 1,500 electric Sierra models. Even the GMC Hummer EV is seeing more demand, with 4,508 units sold in Q2, up 54% from last year.
Starting at under $35,000 with up to 319 miles of range, it’s no wonder the Equinox EV is selling like hotcakes. With leases starting at just $289 per month, it’s a great deal right now. Who knew an affordable EV with over 300 miles of range would sell?
Looking to test one out for yourself? We can help you get started. You can use our links below to find Chevy, Cadillac, and GMC EVs in your area.

Clean energy stocks jump after tax on solar and wind projects is removed from Trump’s big bill
Clean energy stocks rose on Tuesday after a tax on solar and wind projects was removed from the Senate version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Shares of NextEra Energy, the largest renewables developer in the U.S., rose nearly 3% after the Senate narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s bill on Tuesday. AES, a leading renewable provider, rose almost 2%. The megabill will now go to the House of Representatives, where lawmakers will consider the Senate’s changes.
The clean energy industry was surprised and outraged to find over the weekend that a tax on wind and solar projects had been inserted into a version of the Senate legislation. The tax applied to projects that use components from foreign entities of concern above a certain threshold. Foreign entities of concern is widely understood to basically refer to China.
The American Clean Power Association and Solar Energy Industries Association told CNBC that the tax was struck from the Senate legislation. ACP had described the tax as punitive and warned that it would add up to $7 billion to the solar and wind industry’s tax burden.
The Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) over the past three months.
The benchmark Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) was up about 4%, while the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) was trading more than 1% higher after the legislation passed.
Shares of First Solar, the largest solar panel manufacturer in the U.S., slipped less than 1%. Sun tracker manufacturers Array Technologies and Nextracker jumped more than 11% and about 5%, respectively.
Residential solar installer Sunrun rose 9% while inverter manufacturers SolarEdge and Enphase were up about 8% and 4%, respectively.
But the Solar Energy Industries Association cautioned that the improvements in the Senate bill are “limited” and the legislation overall is still harmful to renewable energy.
“This legislation undermines the very foundation of America’s manufacturing comeback and global energy leadership,” CEO Abigail Ross Hopper said in a statement. “If this bill becomes law, families will face higher electric bills, factories will shut down, Americans will lose their jobs, and our electric grid will grow weaker.”
