Rad Power Bikes electric RadTrike has never sold for less
Last winter, Rad Power Bikes launched its very first three-wheeled electric vehicle, and today we’re seeing one of the first chances to save. The new RadTrike Electric Tricycle normally sells for $2,499, but is now dropping down to $1,899. This is a new all-time low alongside what is one of the very first chances to take some cash off that MSRP.
Aside from just standing out as the brand’s first three-wheeled EV, the RadTrike features a 750W front geared hub motor that allows it to cruise around at 14 MPH top speeds. In true Rad Power fashion, this e-bike has one of the best riding durations on the market with a 55-mile range being backed by the 480Wh battery. We fully break down what makes the RadTrike worth considering in our hands-on review.
This Level 2 electric car charger works with Tesla at $228
Amazon is offering the VOLTORB Level 2 Electric Vehicle EV Charger for $228. A 24% discount, this is a deal designed for those investing in an electric future. This portable charger with NEMA 14-50 plug can charge your car 6x faster than a normal wall outlet – where a level 1 charger averages 4 miles of driving per hour of charge, a level 2 charger averages 32 miles of driving range per hour of charge. This 20-foot cable has a rated voltage of 230V AC and a rated current of 32A max. The 2.8-inch screen displays charging data in time, with the working temperature of the charger available for monitoring at any point in its use. It possesses a safety feature where if the safe temperature is exceeded, the charging pile will stop working and automatically resume once temperatures have returned to normal. The smart chip can also fix common charging errors to ensure stable operations, and the rated power can be switched with the press of a button. This product is compatible with most electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, including Teslas, Audi e-tron, Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, Toyota Prius, and Fiat 500E; and is also compatible with RV-type or a regular wall outlet with adapters, lowering your costs on installations.

The US Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) closed a $1 billion loan to restart Three Mile Island Unit 1, a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island in Londonderry Township, Pennsylvania.
The money is being loaned to Constellation Energy Generation, which is renaming the 835 megawatt (MW) Three Mile Island Unit 1 the Crane Clean Energy Center. Constellation said in September 2024 that it would restart the reactor under a power purchase agreement with Microsoft, which needs more clean power to feed its growing data-center demand.
The project is estimated to cost around $1.6 billion, and the DOE says the project will create around 600 jobs. The reactor is expected to start generating power again in 2027.
Three Mile Island Unit 1 (in the foreground in the photo above) went offline in 2019 because it could no longer compete with cheaper natural gas, but it wasn’t decommissioned. It’s capable of powering the equivalent of approximately 800,000 homes. It’s on the same site as the Unit 2 reactor (in the background in the photo above) that went into partial nuclear meltdown in 1979, and is known as the worst commercial nuclear accident in US history.
When asked about the loan’s timing, Greg Beard, senior adviser to the Loan Programs Office, told reporters on a call that it would “lower the cost of capital and make power cheaper for those PJM [Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland] ratepayers.” Data centers are driving up electricity costs for consumers.

An affordable Bronco EV? Not for those in the US. Ford opened orders for the electric Bronco in China, starting at under $33,000.
Ford Bronco electric pre-orders open at under $33,000
Ford announced the All-Wheel Drive electric SUV is officially open for pre-sale on Tuesday, starting at RMB 229,800 ($32,300).
The electric Bronco is available in pure electric (EV) and extended range electric vehicle (EREV) options. It’s offered in three variants, priced from RMB 229,800 ($32,300) to RMB 272,800 ($38,400).
All models are All Wheel Drive, while the pure electric version costs an extra 10,000 yuan ($1,400). Ford is offering pre-sale buyers some pretty sweet benefits, including a camping experience package (with an added roof tent), a Mountain Kitchen Multi-Function Tailgate gift, an overnight stay package (for your vehicle), and more.
The electric Ford Bronco is about the same size as the standard 4-door version sold in the US at 5,025 mm long, 1,960 mm wide, and 1,815 mm tall.
Although it may look the same, the EV version draws power from a 105.4 kWh LFP battery pack from BYD’s FinFreams, providing up to 650 km (404 miles) CLTC driving range.
It’s equipped with two electric motors, one in the front and the other in the rear, producing a combined 445 horsepower (332 kW).
The EREV version combines a 43.7 kWh battery with a 1.5T engine, delivering a pure-electric range of 220 km (137 miles) and a combined CLTC driving range of 1,220 km (758 miles).
Some of the higher trims feature Ford’s Fuyu ADAS system, developed exclusively for buyers in China with a roof-mounted LiDAR and over 30 sensors and cameras. It even features a cool “off-road logbook” that shows drivers over 20 popular routes across China.
The interior is custom-tailored for Chinese buyers with a 15.6″ central infotainment and a smaller driver display screen. It also offers a massive 70″ AR head-up display (HUD).
Unlike the Ford vehicles we’re accustomed to seeing, the electric Bronco includes a 7.5L refrigerator in the center console.
The AWD electric SUV is coming at a critical time as Ford aims to revamp its business in China. Ford is working with local partners on new technologies, designs, and powertrain ideas for global markets.
Ford’s sales in China are down by over 14% through October this year, but new electrified vehicles, including the Bronco, are expected to help turn things around. Ford’s lineup in China mainly consists of gas-powered vehicles, which have quickly fallen out of favor with buyers shifting to more advanced, more efficient, and often lower-priced domestic EVs.
