“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.

Battery electric cars sold today in Europe produce 73% less life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than gas cars, even when factoring in production, according to new research from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). That’s a big improvement from 2021, when the gap was 59%.
Meanwhile, hybrids and plug-in hybrids haven’t made much progress. The study confirms what clean transportation advocates have been saying for years: If Europe wants to seriously slash emissions from its dirtiest mode of transport – ICE passenger cars, which pump out nearly 75% of the sector’s pollution – it needs to go all-in on battery EVs.
“Battery electric cars in Europe are getting cleaner faster than we expected and outperform all other technologies, including hybrids and plug-in hybrids,” said ICCT researcher Dr. Marta Negri. Credit the continent’s rapid shift to renewables and the higher energy efficiency of EVs.
The makeup of the EU’s power grid is changing fast. By 2025, renewables are expected to generate 56% of Europe’s electricity, up from 38% in 2020. And that’s just the beginning: the share could hit 86% by 2045. Since cars bought today could still be on the road two decades from now, the growing use of clean electricity will only boost EVs’ climate benefits over time.

Gas-powered cars, on the other hand, will stay mostly tied to fossil fuels as the cost and availability of biofuels and e-fuels are still uncertain.
Hybrids and plug-in hybrids only cut lifetime emissions by 20% and 30%, respectively, compared to gas cars. That’s partly because plug-in hybrids tend to run on gas more than expected. So while hybrids aren’t useless, they’re just not good enough if we’re serious about climate goals.
Countering EV myths with hard data
There’s been a lot of noise lately about whether EVs are really that green. The ICCT study takes aim at the bad data and misleading claims floating around, like ignoring how the grid gets cleaner over time or using unrealistic gas mileage figures.
It’s true that manufacturing EVs creates more emissions upfront – about 40% more than making a gas car, mostly due to the battery. But EVs make up for it quickly: that extra emissions load is usually wiped out after about 17,000 km (10,563 miles) of driving, which most drivers hit in a year or two.
“We’ve recently seen auto industry leaders misrepresenting the emissions math on hybrids,” said Dr. Georg Bieker, senior researcher at the ICCT. “But life-cycle analysis is not a choose-your-own-adventure exercise.”
ICCT’s new analysis includes emissions from vehicle and battery production and recycling, fuel and electricity production, and fuel consumption and maintenance. It even adjusts for how the electricity mix will change in the coming years – a key detail when measuring plug-in hybrid performance.

The EV2 may be Kia’s smallest electric vehicle, but it has a big presence on the road. Kia promises it won’t feel so small when you’re inside, thanks to clever storage and flexible seating. After a prototype was spotted testing in the Alps, we are getting our closest look at the Kia EV2 so far.
Kia EV2 spotted in the Alps offers our closest look yet
Kia first unveiled the Concept EV2 during its 2025 EV Day event (see our recap of the event) in April, a preview of its upcoming entry-level electric SUV.
Despite its small size, Kia claims it will “redefine urban electric mobility” with new innovative features and more. Kia has yet to say exactly how big it will be, but given it will sit below the EV3, it’s expected to be around 4,000 mm (157″) in length. The EV3 is 4,300 mm (169.3″) in length.
Looking at it from the side, it sits much higher than you’d expect, similar to Kia’s larger EV9. During an exclusive event at Milan Design Week in April, Kia gave a sneak peek of the interior.

Kia said the interior is inspired by a “picnic in the city,” or in other words, a retreat from the busy city life. With a flat-floor design and flexible seating, you can quite literally have a picnic in the city.

Although we’ve seen the EV2 out in public testing a few times, a new video provides the closest look at Kia’s upcoming electric SUV.
The video, courtesy of CarSpyMedia, shows an EV2 prototype testing in the Alps with European license plates. There’s also a “Testfahrt” sticker on the back, which translates to “Test Car” in German.

As the prototype drives by, you can get a good look at it from all angles. Like in past sightings, the front features stacked vertical headlights with Kia’s signature Star Map lighting. Even the rear lights appear to be identical to those of the concept.
The interior will feature Kia’s next-gen ccNC (connected car Navigation Cockpit) infotainment system. The setup includes dual 12.3″ instrument clusters and infotainment screens in a curved panoramic display. Depending on the model, it could also include an added 5.3″ climate control screen.
Last month, a crossover coupe-like model was spotted on a car carrier in Korea, hinting at a new variant. The new model featured a design similar to that of the Genesis GV60.
Kia’s CEO, Ho Sung Song, also recently told Autocar that a smaller, more affordable EV was in the works to sit below the EV2. Song said the new EV, priced under €25,000 ($30,000), was “one area we are studying and developing.”
With the EV4 and EV5 launching this year, followed by the EV2 in 2026, it could be closer toward the end of the decade before we see it hit the market. Next-gen EV6 and EV9 models are also due out around then.
The Kia EV2 is set to launch in Europe and other global regions in 2026. Unfortunately, it’s not expected to make the trip to the US.
