Are you still using a 110V outlet to charge your EV at home? It’s time to change that. With Amazon Basics’ level 2 32A charging station, you’ll get a 25-foot cord that’s ready to power any attached EV with or without an adapter. The J1772 plug is compatible with most EVs on the market from the factory, and those that aren’t can use a simple adapter to charge. It’ll add about 25 miles of range per hour to your EV, which gives you 200 miles of driving when charged for eight hours overnight. On sale right now for $291.50, this level 2 EV charger from Amazon is down to a new all-time low and at least 20% off its normal going rate. 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

Charge your EV with Amazon Basics’ Level 2 power station

Amazon is currently offering its Amazon Basics Level 2 32A EV Charging Station for $291.63 shipped. Down from a normal rate of up to $612, it’s fell in price a few times this year down to $315 in February and then $365 this month. Outside of that, today’s deal actually comes in with at least 20% in savings and is actually up to 52% below its normal rate. This sale also marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. For further comparison, we did see the 18-foot model fall as low as $153.50 back in April. If you have an EV at home and are tired of using a standard 110V outlet to charge, this is a great way to remedy that.

As a level 2 charging station, you’ll find 240V 32A capacity here with an attached 25-foot cable to plug into your EV at home. Amazon Basics says that it’ll add around 25 miles of range per hour, which adds up to 200 miles of range if plugged in for eight hours overnight. This is up to six times faster than a standard wall outlet, and the hardwired station can be installed either indoors or outside, making it convenient to use whether you have a garage or not. It doesn’t need a plug or outlet either, as you just directly wire the system into your panel for it to get power. So, if you’re looking for a way to charge at home, then this is about as budget-friendly as it gets from a name brand with fast speeds.

Google’s latest Nest Smart Thermostat hits new $50 low in Geek Squad Cert. Refurb condition

Best Buy is offering the Geek Squad Certified Refurbished Nest Smart Thermostat for $49.99 shipped. Originally $129, and going for $100 on sale at Amazon right now, today’s deal comes in at $50 below our last new condition mention and beats our previous refurbished deal by an additional $5. That makes today’s discount a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. While typically smart thermostats can cost a pretty penny and run for $100 or more most of the time, this is your chance to score one at a relative bargain.

This smart thermostat is compatible with most AC and heat systems as it works without a C wire in most homes. A great addition to any home over the summer, you’ll find that this smart thermostat can turn the AC up whenever you leave the house for work and ensure it’s properly conditioned before you return. Add to that smartphone and voice control, as well as having the reverse ability for automatic climate in the winter, and you have a full package of energy-saving capabilities here. And, in an expected move, the Nest Thermostat recently got updated with Matter integration back in April, bringing HomeKit compatibility into the mix. Ships with a 90-day warranty. Dive into our hands-on review to learn more.

Segway’s flagship electric SuperScooter GT2 sees $700 summer discount to $3,300 low

Amazon is now offering the best price yet on Segway’s latest flagship electric scooter. The new SuperScooter GT2 first hit the scene last fall as one of the most impressive EVs of its category on the market, and now it’s even more impressive at an Amazon all-time low. Courtesy of the retailer, the new Segway SuperScooter GT2 sells for $3,299.99 shipped. Down from $4,000, you’re looking at a new low that’s $700 off. It’s $200 under our last mention from April, and one of the first chances in 2023 to save.

Segway’s new SuperScooter GT2 arrives centered around a more capable design with 6,000W 2-wheel drive motor system. There’s a massive 1,512Wh battery that powers the experience, which allows you to hit up to 43.5 MPH top speeds while accelerating from 0 to 30 MPH in just under 4 seconds. That pairs with a 55.9-mile range, integrated transparent OLED display in-between the handlebars, suspension system for a smoother ride, and dual hydraulic disc brakes. 

For comparison, Segway’s other flagship SuperScooter, the GT1, still manages to sell for less than the lead deal. It may clock in at retail price, but is still $500 less than the higher-end model above. It now sells for $2,800 on Amazon, delivering much of the same design along the way. There are some trade-offs for the more affordable price, like a 3,000W motor that can only travel 43 miles on a single charge. But if you need a less capable way to get around the neighborhood or want to fully embrace EV tech this summer, the SuperScooter GT1 is still up to the task with 37 MPH top speeds.

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.

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.

Meet the newest EV from Hyundai – new HX19e electric excavator

Meet the newest EV from Hyundai – new HX19e electric excavator

The HD arm of Hyundai has just released the first official images of the new, battery-electric HX19e mini excavator – the first ever production electric excavator from the global South Korean manufacturer.

The HX19e will be the first all-electric asset to enter series production at Hyundai Construction Equipment, with manufacturing set to begin this April.

The new HX19e will be offered with either a 32 kWh or 40 kWh li-ion battery pack – which, according to Hyundai, is nearly double the capacity offered by its nearest competitor (pretty sure that’s not correct –Ed.). The 40kWh battery allows for up to 6 hours and 40 minutes of continuous operation between charges, with a break time top-up on delivering full shift usability.

Those batteries send power to a 13 kW (17.5 hp) electric motor that drives an open-center hydraulic system. Hyundai claims the system delivers job site performance that is at least equal to, if not better than, that of its diesel-powered HX19A mini excavator.

To that end, the Hyundai XH19e offers the same 16 kN bucket breakout force and a slightly higher 9.4 kN (just over 2100 lb-ft) dipper arm breakout force. The maximum digging depth is 7.6 feet, and the maximum digging reach is 12.9 feet. Hyundai will offer the new electric excavator with just four selectable options:

  • enclosed cab vs. open canopy
  • 32 or 40 kWh battery capacity

All HX19es will ship with a high standard specification that includes safety valves on the main boom, dipper arm, and dozer blade hydraulic cylinders, as well as two-way auxiliary hydraulic piping allows the machine to be used with a range of commercially available implements. The hydraulics needed to operate a quick coupler, LED booms lights, rotating beacons, an MP3 radio with USB connectivity, and an operator’s seat with mechanical suspension are also standard.

Like its counterparts at Volvo CE, the new Hyundai excavator uses automotive-style charging ports to take advantage of existing infrastructure at fleet depots and public charging stations. More detailed specifications, dimensions, and pricing should be announced by bauma.

Electrek’s Take

The ability to operate indoors, underground, or in environments like zoos and hospitals were keeping noise levels down is of critical importance to the success of an operation makes electric equipment assets like these coming from Hyundai a must-have for fleet operators and construction crews that hope to remain competitive in the face of ever-increasing noise regulations. The fact that these are cleaner, safer, and cheaper to operate is just icing on that cake.
