“Prime power, prime choice” – that’s the mantra EcoFlow is spreading as we approach this year’s annual Amazon Prime Day sale. Whether you’re already a solar generator owner or are considering your first portable power station, there’s a myriad of reasons to abandon gas generators, especially if it’s a product from EcoFlow. Check out the company’s Prime Day deals below.

Why choose a solar generator or portable power station?
As we mentioned before, there is a laundry list of reasons why solar generators are better than traditional gas options – beyond the obvious fact that you don’t have to deal with nasty fumes or carbon emissions.
Yes, the peace of mind of knowing you’ve switched to clean, renewable energy should be enough in theory, but that’s not always the case in the real world. Peace of mind brings us to our next argument – solar generators are significantly quieter. Gas generators run at an average of 70 decibels. Noise to that degree and higher over extended periods of time can actually cause hearing damage. Not with an EcoFlow solar generator.
Take the DELTA 2 MAX, for example. It only puts out 30 dB, which is less than half the noise of a gas generator and significantly quieter than EcoFlow competitors, whose products start at 45 dB. The DELTA 2 MAX is also $200 off during EcoFlow’s Prime Day sale, but we will dig into those savings later. We still need to convince you to make the switch, remember?

Here’s another big one – free energy! A huge advantage of a solar generator is its ability to garner and store free power from the Sun. Set it outside in an open area with a portable EcoFlow solar panel, and let it do its thing. Then you can use that generator, like the DELTA Pro, for example, to power your home – whether it’s during peak grid hours, an outage, or a weather emergency.
Still not sold? We’ll see about that. Did we mention that EcoFlow’s portable power stations can be used anywhere? You’ll have to leave that noisy, smokey gas generator outside in a ventilated area, but not with an EcoFlow. Bring it inside! Use it in your car! Keep it in your tent to power your electronic devices while you camp and watch scary movies. Power stations like the EcoFlow RIVER Pro give you more ways to utilize clean energy and more places to safely use it – all with zero maintenance. Take that, gas.

Why choose EcoFlow this Prime Day?
Okay, so you’re finally onboard to the solar generator train. We’re happy to have you, but now it’s time to choose your products. Might we suggest EcoFlow? Just like there are plenty of reasons to use a portable power pack instead of a gas generator, there are plenty of reasons why you should consider buying one from EcoFlow, especially while it’s running its massive Prime Day sale.
Industry-leading technology
EcoFlow is a prime example of success through innovation. The company released the world’s first portable battery, complete with an expandable ecosystem of beneficial uses. The company’s X-Stream technology currently helps deliver the world’s fastest AC and dual charging rates, up to 3x the industry standard.
Products like the DELTA Max can fully recharge in under two hours, even quicker if you combine two charging methods like AC and solar. Portable power stations like the DELTA MAX also feature X-Boost technology that can power heavy-duty appliances at a wattage over the station’s allotted output without the risk of overloading itself.

Modularity and complete control
As you may have noticed from some of the EcoFlow product images featured above, many portable stations come with extra batteries available, whether it’s through a bundle or individual sale this Prime Day. This modularity allows EcoFlow owners to expand their storage to fit their needs, whether powering an outdoor get-together, an office out in nature, or an entire home during an outage.
At the center of all home backup storage is the EcoFlow app. Here you can check your system’s remaining battery capacity, monitor the current recharging status, and even automate your power consumption wherever you are.
Longevity
This Prime Day, your one-time purchase of an EcoFlow solar generator can get you up to 10 years of everyday use. Each product comes with a 5-year worry-free warranty, and EcoFlow’s lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries have a six times longer lifespan than nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) cells. That means they can endure over 3,000 full charge cycles up to 80%, ensuring your power station stays strong and lasts long.
No better time for EcoFlow products than Prime Day 2023
Amazon might be hosting Prime Day, but EcoFlow’s sale to celebrate the annual event lasts much longer, with plenty of opportunities for unique savings and free gifts. For example, now through July 10, take advantage of deals up to 59% off.
Keep an eye out for flash day sales for 12 hours each day on July 3, 6, and 10. During that initial EcoFlow Prime sale window, you can also take advantage of the following perks:
Receive a free camping chair with purchases of $2,500 or more.
Receive a free DELTA Mini portable power station when you spend $4,000 or more.
EcoFlow is offering a 30-day price match guarantee during the Prime Day sale:
If you find an EcoFlow product cheaper somewhere else within 30 days of your Prime sale purchase, EcoFlow will match it.
Cash in 500 EcoCredits for each chance to spin and win a DELTA Mini.
After July 10, EcoFlow is offering exceptionally low Prime Day prices… but only on July 11-12. After that, EcoFlow will still be offering some sweet discounts, but only on Prime Day bundles and accessories from July 13-16.
With flash sales, EcoCredits, and an entire lineup of discounts, it’s worth checking in on EcoFlow’s Prime Day sales early and often, now through July 16. Lastly, don’t forget to use promo code ElectrekPD for an extra 5% off your order.

Over the weekend, Tesla began offering many Cybertruck trade-in estimated values above the original purchase price, apparently due to a glitch in its system.
Tesla offers online trade-in estimates for individuals considering purchasing a vehicle from them.
Over the last few days, Cybertruck owners who submitted their vehicles through the system were surprised to see Tesla offering extremely high valuations on the vehicle, often above what they originally paid for the electric truck.
Here are a few examples:
Advertisement – scroll for more content
$79,200 for a 2025 Cybertruck AWD with 18,000 miles. Since this is a 2025 model year, it was eligible for the tax credit and Tesla is offering the same price as new without incentive.
Here Tesla offered $118,800 for a 2024 Cybertruck ‘Cyberbeast’ tri-motor with 21,000 miles.
In this example, Tesla offers $11,000 more than the owner originally paid for a 2024 Cybertruck.
So, trade in the Foundation Series Cybertruck AWD for $11k more than I paid for it originally, re-buy an AWD with FSD for $79,490 after the tax credit.
I’d lose free supercharging for life, Cyberwheels, and white interior.
The trade-in estimates made no sense. Tesla has been known to offer more attractive estimates online and then come lower with the official final offer, but this is on a whole different level.
Some speculated that Tesla’s trade-in estimate system was malfunctioning, while others thought Tesla was indirectly recalling early Cybertrucks.
It appears to be the former.
Some Tesla Cybertruck owners who tried to go through a new order with their Cybertruck as a trade-in were told by Tesla advisors that the system was “glitching” and they would not be honoring those prices.
Tesla told buyers that it would be refunding its usually “non-refundable” order fee.
Electrek’s Take
That’s a weird glitch. I assume that it was trying to change how the trade-in value would be estimated and the new math didn’t work for the Cybertruck for whatever reason.
It’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
The Cybertruck’s value is already quite weird due to the fact that Tesla still has new vehicles made in 2024, which are not eligible for the tax credit incentive, while the new ones made in 2025 are eligible.
There’s also the Foundation Series, which bundles many features for a $20,000 higher price.
All these things affect the value and can make it hard to compare with new Cybertrucks offered with 0% interest.

Like a 90s “gifted” kid that was supposed to be a lot of things, the electric Jeep Wagoneer S never really found its place — but when dealers started discounting the Jeep brands forward-looking flagship by nearly $25,000 back in June, I wrote that it might be time to give the go-fast Wagoneer S a second look.
Whether we’re talking about Mercedes-Benz, Cerberus, Fiat, or even Enzo Ferrari, outsiders have labeled Jeep as a potentially premium brand that could, “if managed properly,” command luxury-level prices all over the globe. That hasn’t happened, and Stellantis is just the latest in a long line of companies to sink massive capital into the brand only to realize that people will not, in fact, spend Mercedes money on a Jeep.

That said, the Jeep Wagoneer S is not a bad car (and neither is its totally different, hideously massive, ICE-powered Wagoneer sibling, frankly). Built on the same Stellantis STLA Large vehicle platform that underpins the sporty Charger Daytona EVs, the confusingly-named Wagoneer S packs dual electric motors putting out almost 600 hp. That’s good enough to scoot the ‘ute 0 to 60 mph in a stomach-turning 3.5 seconds and enough, on paper, to convince Stellantis executives that they had developed a real, market-ready alternative to the Tesla Model Y.
With the wrong name and a sky-high starting price of $66,995 (not including the $1,795 destination fee), however, that demand didn’t materialize, leaving the Wagoneer S languishing on dealer lots across the country.
That could be about to change, however, thanks to big discounts on Wagoneer S being reported at CDJR dealers in several states:
Jeff Belzer’s in Minnesota has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,790 MSRP for $39,758 ($28,032 off)
Troncalli CDJR in Georgia has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,590 MSRP for $42,697 ($24,893 off)
Whitewater CDJR in Minnesota has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,790 MSRP for $43,846 ($23,944 off)
Antioch CDJR in Illinois has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,790 MSRP for $44,540 ($23,250 off)
“Stellantis bet big on electric versions of iconic American brands like Jeep and Dodge, but consumers aren’t buying the premise,” writes CDG’s Marcus Amick. “(Stellantis’ dealer body) is now stuck with expensive EVs that need huge discounts to move, eating into already thin margins while competitors focus on [more] profitable gas-powered vehicles.”
All of which is to say: if you’ve found yourself drawn to the Jeep Wagoneer S, but couldn’t quite stomach the $70,000+ window stickers, you might want to check in with your local Jeep dealer and see how you feel about it at a JCPenneys-like 30% off!

Multinational equipment brand SANY just launched a clever new 50-ton reach stacker that pairs gravity and an F1-style KERS system to generate electricity, improve operating efficiency, and reduce costs. The best part: they’re putting that smart tech to work by helping clean up (and shore up) the grid.
Short for Kinetic Energy Recovery System, KERS was a staple of Formula 1 in the late aught and 2010s. Essentially an advanced form of regenerative braking, KERS captured the kinetic energy of a car at speed that would normally be lost as heat when the brake pads pressed against the brake discs. Instead of heat, KERS converted that energy into electricity (storing it in a battery or flywheel), to be deployed later.

4x WDC Sebastian Vettel explains KERS.
In practice, KERS gave drivers an extra boost of horsepower at the push of a button, enabling them to attack or defend their position on track and adding a fresh strategic element to the sport. In SANY’s case, that stored power is fed back into the reach stacker’s electric hydraulic system, reducing pressure loss across the high-pressure setup by 50%, and lowering the machine’s overall energy consumption by more than 60%.
Energy recovery is a key feature. The potential energy of the boom, lifting gear and energy storage cabinets during the boom’s descent can be recovered efficiently with an overall recovery efficiency of over 65%. That means every 1 kWh of consumption in lifting can be recovered by 0.4 kWh during descent.
The 50t reach stacker is available with a 512 kWh swappable battery pack that’s compatible with other SANY heavy equipment assets, and supports both DC fast charging when swapping isn’t practical or (for whatever reason) desirable.

On a single charge and backed by the onboard KERS, that’s good enough for the machine can lift and move containers for more than 7 continuous hours, which SANY claims significantly reducing downtime for charging compared to other, similar equipment assets.
The new SANY reach stacker can stack six 50-ton containers, greatly enhancing a site’s container and battery storage density within a limited space. The first units will reach unnamed customers building out a utility-scale energy storage project by the end of this month.
Regardless of which one you choose, it seems like the available options for reach stacker operators are just getting better and better!
