If you only have a few minutes to enjoy the Grand Canyon’s views, EV road trippers, you can plug in to the new Electrify America DC fast chargers at the visitor center.
There are two sites at the Grand Canyon National Park (Maswik Lodge, and Market Lodge and Yavapai Lodge East) that have EV chargers – but they’re all Level 2. There aren’t any EV chargers at all at Desert View or on the North Rim.
But now there are DC fast chargers at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center at the national park’s south entrance, at 450 State Route 64 in Tusayan, Arizona. That’s because Electrify America (EA) just installed six of them, with speeds of between 150 kW and 350 kW.
That means you can charge up fast and head inside to catch the credits of the IMAX movie, have a quick bite, and buy that Grand Canyon snow globe you didn’t know you needed.
EA says that its Grand Canyon Visitor Center charging station has created its own fast charging corridor between the national park and Las Vegas. The stops include Kingman (one 150 kW), Willliams (two 150 kW and two 350 kW), and Flagstaff (two 150 kW and one 350 kW).
Because taking photos of views to post on social media are great, but sometimes you’ve just gotta juice up at the DC fast chargers and get going:

Hop on Greenworks’ 80V STEALTH electric mini-bike with Bluetooth speakers and rare price cut to $1,440 for Prime Day
As part of its Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon is offering a rare price cut on the Greenworks 80V STEALTH Electric Mini Bike to $1,439.99 shipped. Normally sitting up at its full $1,800 price, discounts are pretty rare on this model, as opposed to the few but more frequent savings that hit its counterparts in the brand’s e-transportation series. We saw the price drop to its lowest to $1,349 in May, with the deal here coming in as the second-best rate that saves you $360 off the tag.
This is the most advanced of Greenworks’ e-transportation lineup, which all take advantage of the brand’s versatile and interchangeable batteries for power, letting you get more bang for your buck, especially when you have quite the arsenal of the brand’s tools. The Greenworks 80V STEALTH electric mini-bike is powered by the two included 8.0Ah batteries to carry you for up to 27 miles, only taking two hours to recharge thanks to the 8A dual-port charger. The stylish mini-bike frame houses a 1,000W brushless rear hub STEALTH motor (hence the name), which can top out at 20 MPH when in its Eco mode and up to 25 MPH when set to the Sport mode.

Compared to the other e-bikes in the brand’s series, this model brings along a much larger list of additional features, like the front fork suspension, dual rear shock absorbers, 19-inch all-terrain tires, an integrated headlight and taillight with three settings, an IPX4 water-resistant build, a push-button start, 3-in-1 functionality (forward, neutral, reverse), integrated Bluetooth speakers, an LED screen, and more.

One notable price cut during this event is on the newest EGO Z6 52-inch Cordless Electric Zero-Turn Riding Lawn Mower with six 12.0Ah batteries for $5,599.99 shipped. Normally going for $6,999 in full, the few discounts we’ve seen hit it over the year have taken the costs down as low as $5,499, which we last saw at the top of April. The deal here provides a 20% markdown off the going rate, slashing $1,399 off the tag for the third-lowest price we have tracked.

Navee’s Autumn Sale increases EV savings for Prime Day, with its flagship ST3 Pro dropping to $710, more
Navee’s ongoing Autumn EV Sale has increased savings on e-scooters for the week of Prime Day, complete with bonus savings and some free gear too. A notable price cut is coming to the brand’s flagship ST3 Pro Smart Electric Scooter for $709.99 shipped, after using the code AFF50 at checkout for an additional $50 off the price, with the first 30 orders also getting a free chain lock (a $49 value). This model released back in March and carries a $950 MSRP these days, which we’ve mostly seen discounted to $760 during most sales, though there have been falls as low as $685 and $660 in the past. While this event continues, you can score $240 off the going rate for the third-lowest price we have tracked, which also beats out its Amazon pricing by $50.
The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

The new Nissan LEAF is among the most affordable electric vehicles in the US, with a starting price under $30,000. Overseas, it’s a different story. To keep pace with BYD, Hyundai, and others, Nissan revealed a new, lower-priced LEAF B5 model in Japan.
Meet the new Nissan LEAF B7, next up is the B5
We got our first look at the third-gen LEAF in June. Although Nissan’s iconic electric hatch was once a top-selling electric vehicle, it was long overdue for an update.
The new LEAF is back and better than ever, boasting a significantly longer driving range, faster charging, and a new crossover SUV-like design.
Even with the improvements, Nissan claims the 2026 LEAF has “the lowest starting MSRP for any new EV currently on sale in the US” at just $29,990. That’s even cheaper than the first model, which arrived in 2011 for $32,780.

Overseas, including in its home market of Japan, it won’t be so easy. Nissan faces stiff competition from lower-cost electric vehicles from BYD, Hyundai, Kia, and several other brands.
Nissan announced plans to launch a new, lower-priced “LEAF B5” model on Wednesday, aiming to fend off the wave of new competition entering the Japanese market.

Nissan said it plans to launch the lower-priced LEAF B5 in February 2026. It will feature a smaller 55 kWh battery and “is expected to be priced more affordably for a wider range of customers,” the company said.
In the meantime, Nissan will open orders for the LEAF B7 in Japan on October 17, with deliveries scheduled to begin in January 2026.

Powered by a 78 kWh battery, the B7 variant delivers a WLTC driving range of up to 702 km (436 miles). Using a 150 kW fast charger, Nissan said it can also recharge from 10% to 80% in 35 minutes.
The third-gen LEAF features a new energy management system and battery conditioning feature to optimize energy consumption.

Inside, the new Nissan LEAF B7 looks about the same as the other model, with a dual 12.3″ display at the center.
Nissan offers two grades, “X” and “G.” The LEAF B7 X starts at 5,188,700 yen ($34,000) while the G model is priced from 5,999,400 yen ($39,300).
Both the B7 and B5 will receive an AUTECH upgrade. The LEAF B7 AUTECH starts at 6,513,100 yen ($42,600), while prices for the B5 version have yet to be announced.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes that America refocusing on energy growth will not only help the U.S. win on artificial intelligence but also fuel continued economic growth. Jim Cramer says he has the power stock to own, which has found itself at the heart of providing solutions to companies looking to generate more energy to meet booming demand for AI computing. During the Investing Club’s October Monthly Meeting , Jensen told Jim that “without energy growth, there is no industrial growth, without industrial growth, there’s no stock price growth, there’s no economic growth, there’s no national security.” It’s increasingly clear that energy scarcity is holding back the world’s biggest tech companies from doing more with AI. Jensen has said it. The leaders of OpenAI, which got a long-term $100 billion investment from Nvidia to help build data center capacity, have said it. “The realization that we have to go back and become a country that has energy growth is really foundational, it’s really great,” the Nvidia CEO said at Tuesday’s Club meeting from the New York Stock Exchange. He credited President Donald Trump ‘s leadership on energy and encouraged AI data centers to be “power generators themselves.” There are many ways for data centers to make the extra energy they need when the country’s power grid is overtaxed. “Over the next several years, nuclear is going to come online, and I hope that we’ll get that going as fast as possible,” Jensen said, pointing out that power generators are already becoming part of the data center playbook. To capitalize on AI’s insatiable need for energy, Jim told members during Wednesday’s Morning Meeting , “We bought the right [stock]. We bought GE Vernova because they are the real builder of these … small modular [nuclear] reactors.” While additional nuclear capacity is a few years off, GE Vernova has a booming business in the here and now selling natural gas-powered turbines – basically, these are huge engines that create gobs of energy. The company’s CEO, Scott Strazik, said it himself at last month’s Morgan Stanley’s Laguna Conference. “Not only is the world going to need more energy, but the proportion of that energy that’s going to be coming from electrical power is going to grow.” Jim has been urging GE Vernova management to more substantially increase turbine production to meet that demand. Last month, Jim said, “When I spoke to Scott Strazik, begging him, literally begging him, to increase capacity, he said the last three times that people have done that it’s been a disaster.” On Wednesday, Jim said during the meeting, “If we’re going to have enough power, it’s going to be GE Vernova. They are the largest maker of turbines.” Jim suggested that Trump call up GE Vernova to tell them to increase turbine production. On Tuesday morning, we bought more shares of GE Vernova. We had been waiting for this stock to come off the boil. While up Wednesday, the stock is still down more than 7% from its all-time closing of $664.55 on Aug. 6. Shares have been trading mostly sideways since surging 14% to $629 on July 23, following a much better-than-expected quarter and a raised full-year outlook . As Jeff Marks, director of portfolio analysis for the Club, wrote in our trade alert : “In keeping with our view of patiently waiting for a pullback to buy what Cramer has previously called ‘maybe the best story in the entire market,’ we are nibbling on shares and upgrading our rating to 1,” which is the Club’s buy equivalent rating. The stock has soared nearly 90% year to date. Our conviction in the long-term demand for AI infrastructure has increased over the past few weeks following OpenAI’s deals with Nvidia and rival chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices . More AI infrastructure means more demand for energy. Marks also wrote Tuesday, “One thing we’re wondering is whether OpenAI will also make deals with power suppliers like GE Vernova, whose gas turbines are used to generate electricity, and its electrification products provide grid solutions and power conversion.” Already, some GE Vernova turbines will be used at an on-site natural gas plant being built in Texas on the massive Stargate data center campus co-developed by OpenAI. Stargate was announced to much fanfare at the White House in January, shortly after Trump took office. GEV YTD mountain GE Vernova YTD Another tailwind for GE Vernova is that these turbines are big-ticket items that have been a way for countries to reduce their trade deficits with the United States. For example, when the president visited the Mideast in May, GE Vernova was the recipient of $14 billion worth of gas turbines and energy solutions orders from Saudi Arabia as part of the kingdom’s commitment to invest $600 billion in the U.S. (Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust is long GEV.
