EcoFlow 24-hour flash sale takes up to $1,799 off bundles

It’s the seventh day of EcoFlow’s 15-day home backup sale, and the second of three scheduled 24-hour flash sales that are offering up two bundle options to maximize savings and ensure your disaster preparedness. The first of today’s deals is a massive discount on the DELTA Pro Portable Power Station with the Dual Fuel Smart Generator and a Transfer Switch for $3,699 shipped. At normal rates this would cost you $5,647 to get these items bundled together, making this flash sale another rare opportunity. The power station alone is currently discounted to $2,599 while the smart generator is discounted to $1,299. At these rates they would cost you $3,898 together, meaning you’ll save $199 with this deal and get a free transfer switch that would run you $399 normally. All-in-all, this deal ultimately saves you $1,799 off the MSRPs of all three items.

The DELTA Pro boasts a 3,600Wh capacity that can be expanded up to 25kWh with the addition of extra batteries (sold separately). You’ll have total control over its settings through the EcoFlow app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and it offers 14 output options to cover all your appliance and device charging needs: five AC ports, four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two DC ports, and a car port. The Dual Fuel Smart Generator runs off gasoline or Liquified Petroleum Gas and provides 20,000Wh of energy to cover your DELTA Pro or home (with the transfer switch) when the power goes out.

For those who may be looking for a power station with a smaller capacity that can be more easily transported for personal usage when camping or travelling, you’ll also find the RIVER 2 Pro with two 160W solar panels (320W total) for $999, down from $1,497. It offers up a 720Wh capacity that can be expanded up to 1,440Wh with the addition of an extra battery (sold separately). It can recharge up to 80% in just one hour via a standard wall outlet, in up to four hours with the included panels, or in eight hours directly plugged into your car with the adapter. It has 10 output ports to cover all your device-charging needs: three ACs, three USB-As, two DCs, one USB-C, and one car port.

Autel MaxiCharger Level 2 Home EV Charger now $479

The official Autel Amazon storefront is offering its MaxiCharger Level 2 Home EV Charger for $479 shipped. Down from a $600 price tag, it only saw five discounts over 2023 since its release back in March, with all but one of them repeating to the same $479 low. Today’s deal comes in to repeat this trend as a 20% markdown off the going rate, giving you $121 in savings and returning costs to the lowest price that we have tracked. This 240V level 2 EV charging station offers an output up to 50A and is meant to be hardwired at your home or business, covering “any EV or plug-in hybrid up to 9X faster than a level 1 outlet charger.” Whether you install it inside or outside, its construction with higher-grade materials provides durable weather resistance in any climate. Through the Autel Charge mobile app you’ll have full control over its settings, allowing you to track, manage, schedule, and optimize your charging – especially during off-peak hours. Head below to learn more.

Greenworks 80V Cordless Axial Leaf Blower now $297

Amazon is offering the Greenworks 80V Cordless Electric Axial Leaf Blower for $297.49 shipped. Down from its $350 price tag, it saw regular discounts over the first half of 2023, and a decreased amount of discounts through November. Today’s deal comes in as a minor $53 markdown off the going rate, landing at the fourth-lowest price that we have tracked. You won’t find this particular package on Greenworks’ website either, with the closest matching combination having a smaller 2.5Ah battery for $100 less.

This 80V blower is 20% lighter than typical gas blowers, offering 25% more air volume as well as 20% more air speed than its predecessor, and is designed for yards up to 1 acre in size. Equipped with a brushless motor that is standard in all Greenworks power products, it can reach airflow speeds of 170 MPH and 730 CFM, with its variable speed trigger ensuring better handling and more control. The 80V 4.0 Ah Lithium-ion battery is interchangeable with any of the power products within the Greenworks family and provides this blower up to 21 minutes of continuous runtime on a single charge. Also includes a rapid charger to complete the package.

Democratic senators blame White House, AI data centers for rising electricity prices

Democratic senators blame White House, AI data centers for rising electricity prices

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) speaks to reporters outside the Senate Chamber of the U.S. Capitol Building on Oct. 1, 2025 in Washington, DC.

Democratic senators on Monday blamed the White House push to fast track artificial intelligence data centers and its attacks on renewable energy for rising electricity prices in certain parts of the U.S.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and others demanded that the White House and Commerce Department detail what actions they have taken to shield consumers from the impact of massive data centers in a letter sent Monday.

Voters are increasingly feeling the pinch of rising electricity prices. Democrats Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger campaigned on the issue in the New Jersey and Virgina governors’ races, which they won in landslides last week.

The senators took aim at the White House’s relationship with companies like Meta, Alphabet, Oracle, and OpenAI, and the support the administration has shown for the companies’ data center plans.

The Trump administration “has already failed to prevent those new data centers from driving up electricity prices from a surge of new commercial demand,” the senators wrote. They accused the White House of making the problem worse by opposing the expansion of solar and wind power.

The White House blamed the Biden administration and its renewable energy policies for driving up electricity prices in a statement.

President Donald Trump “declared an energy emergency to reverse four years of Biden’s disastrous policies, accelerate large-scale grid infrastructure projects, and expedite the expansion of coal, natural gas, and nuclear power generation,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said.

The tech sector’s AI plans have ballooned in size. OpenAI and Nvidia, for example, struck a deal in September to build 10 gigawatts of data centers to train and run AI applications. This is equivalent to New York City’s peak baseline summer demand in 2024.

The scale of these plans have raised questions about whether enough power is available to meet the demand and who will pay for the new generation that is needed. Renewable energy, particularly solar and energy storage, is the power source that can be deployed the quickest right now to meet demand.

Retail electricity prices in the U.S. increased about 6% on average through August 2025 compared with the same period in 2024, according to the Energy Information Administration. Prices, however, can vary widely by region.

Europe's largest battery storage project is being built in Germany

Germany is about to become home to Europe’s largest battery storage system – a massive 1 gigawatt (GW) / 4 gigawatt-hour (GWh) project in Jänschwalde, Brandenburg.

LEAG Clean Power GmbH and Fluence Energy GmbH, a subsidiary of US-based Fluence Energy (NASDAQ: FLNC), are teaming up to build the “GigaBattery Jänschwalde 1000.” The four-hour system will use Fluence’s Smartstack technology, its latest large-scale energy storage solution.

Once complete, Europe’s largest battery storage project will play a key role in stabilizing Germany’s grid and storing renewable power for when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. It’s designed to deliver essential grid services, support energy trading, and boost energy security as the country phases out fossil fuels.

LEAG’s broader “GigawattFactory” plan combines solar and wind farms with flexible power plants and large-scale batteries across Germany’s Lusatian energy region. “By constructing gigascale storage facilities, we’re addressing one of the biggest challenges of the energy transition: ensuring constant power regardless of the availability of renewable energies,” said Adi Roesch, CEO of the LEAG Group.

Fluence CEO Julian Nebreda described the project as a “milestone for the energy future of Germany and Europe,” adding that it demonstrates how collaboration and cutting-edge technology can “transform the foundation of our economy and our everyday lives.”

The German government recently reaffirmed the importance of storage in building a secure and affordable clean power system. With this 4 GWh giant, LEAG and Fluence are implementing that priority in one of Europe’s most coal-heavy regions.

The Genesis GV90 is shaping up to be a real stunner [Video]

The Genesis GV90 is shaping up to be a real stunner [Video]

The GV90 will be the brand’s largest, most luxurious SUV yet. With its official debut coming up, a production version of the Genesis GV90 was spotted in public for the first time, offering a closer look at the stunning SUV.

The Genesis GV90 is a stunning flagship SUV

Genesis vehicles already have a unique design that’s hard to miss. The big Creste Grille, Two-Line Quad Lamps, and smooth character lines offer a refined, luxurious look, but Genesis is planning to take it to the next level with the GV90.

The GV90 is an “ultra-luxe, state-of-the-art SUV,” according to Genesis. It will be the luxury brand’s new flagship vehicle and first full-size electric SUV.

We got our first look at the flagship SUV last March after Genesis unveiled the Neolun concept at the New York Auto Show.

The GV90 has been spotted out in public several times now, even flashing high-end features like coach doors and adaptive air suspension, but now, we are finally getting our first look at the production version in real life.

A new video from HealerTV shows the production version of the Genesis GV90 in action. Although it’s still covered in camo, you can see a few slight design changes from the concept shown last year.

The headlights and grille appear closer in design to its current vehicles, but other than that, the GV90 looks essentially the same up front as the Neolun concept.

Since it’s still covered, it’s hard to see where the headlights are connected at this point. From the side and rear, the GV90 looks identical to the concept.

Genesis has yet to announce an official launch date, but the GV90 could debut by the end of the year with sales expected to kick off in mid-2026.

The flagship SUV is rumoured to be the first vehicle to debut on Hyundai’s new eM platform, which it claims will “provide 50% improvement in driving range” compared to its current EVs. It will also serve as a tech beacon, featuring Hyundai’s most advanced connectivity and safety tech.

We will learn official prices and final specs soon, but one thing is for sure: it won’t be cheap. The Genesis GV90 is expected to start at around $100,000, but higher trims could cost significantly more with added features and options.

Genesis is also introducing its first hybrid, the GV80, next year, followed by its first extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) based on the GV70. The EREV is expected to launch in late 2026 or early 2027. There’s also an off-road SUV in the works, which will likely arrive as a 2027 model.
