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.

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.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $1.2 billion in financing to replace Puerto Rico’s fossil fuel plants with solar and battery storage through 2032.
The DOE’s Loan Programs Office announced two conditional commitments and one loan closing to power producers in Puerto Rico. Each supports a project contracted with the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority. The announcements include:
- The closing of a $584.5 million loan guarantee to subsidiaries of Convergent Energy to finance a 100 MW solar farm with a 55 MW (55 MWh) battery energy storage system (BESS) in the municipality of Coamo and BESS installations in the municipalities of Caguas (25MW/100MWh), Peñuelas (100MW/400MWh), and Ponce (up to 100MW/400MWh)
- A conditional commitment for a loan guarantee of up to $133.6 million to a subsidiary of Infinigen for a 32.1 MW solar farm with an integrated 14.45 MW (4.76 MWh) BESS, and a co-located standalone 50 MW (200 MWh) BESS expansion in the municipality of Yabucoa
- A conditional commitment for a loan guarantee of up to $489.4 million to a subsidiary of Pattern Energy for three stand-alone BESS in the municipalities of Arecibo (50 MW/200 MWh), and Santa Isabel (50 MW /200 MWh and 80 MW/320 MW), and a 70 MW solar farm with an integrated BESS in the municipality of Arecibo.
If all are finalized, these projects would more than double LPO’s support for utility-scale solar generation and battery energy storage in Puerto Rico.
LPO provides low-cost financing and a rigorous due diligence process, making it a valuable resource for Puerto Rico as it works to rebuild an affordable, reliable, and clean energy system. As a result of reliance on imported fuel, the persistent threat of tropical storms, and underinvested infrastructure, Puerto Ricans today face average energy costs that are twice the US average – all while consuming only one-quarter of the energy of the US per capita.
LPO’s initial loan to a power producer in Puerto Rico, Project Marahu, closed in October 2024, and when complete will add more than 200 MW of solar and up to 285 MW of stand-alone energy storage to Puerto Rico’s grid.
Through its September 2023 partial loan guarantee to Project Hestia, LPO also supports virtual power plant (VPP)-ready rooftop solar and battery storage installations in Puerto Rico. As a nationwide project, Hestia’s sponsor is committed to at least 20% of installations under Project Hestia going to homeowners in Puerto Rico.
As part of its procurement plan, Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority seeks to install 1,500 MW of battery storage and requires a minimum capacity of storage to be co-located with each utility-scale solar project. Energy storage systems currently online in Puerto Rico are being dispatched every day.
When including Marahu, LPO’s closed and conditionally committed financing supports over 100% of the capacity Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority aimed to procure under its initial request for energy storage project proposals, the first of six.

Chevy just introduced new deals on the Equinox and Blazer EV models to make them even more affordable. With 0% interest and a new trade-in bonus, Chevy is offering over $5,000 in savings.
Chevy adds new Equinox and Blazer EV deals in January
Although the Chevy Equinox EV is already “the most affordable” EV in its class with over 315 miles range, it’s getting even cheaper.
Earlier this week, Chevy launched new deals on the 2024 Equinox and Blazer EV models. According to a note sent to dealers, viewed by CarsDirect, the electric SUVs are now available with 0% APR financing for 60 months. You can also choose from 0.9% AP for 72 months and 2.9% APR for 84 months.
This marks the best financing offer on Chevy’s newest EVs to date. The previous best rates were 0.9% APR for 60 months, 3.9% for 72 months, and 5.9% for the longer 84-month option.
On a 7-year $45,000 loan, online auto research firm CarsDirect estimates the new deals amount to around a $5,200 price cut. The lower APR rates are already offered on the Chevrolet Silverado EV pickup.
In addition, Chevy is offering a trade-in bonus of up to $3,000 on the Silverado EV and $1,000 on the electric Equinox and Blazer models. If you choose to lease, the bonus is cut in half: $1,500 for the Silverado and $500 for the electric SUVs.
Chevy’s new EV deals started on January 14 and run through March 3, 2025. The deals come as rivals like Hyundai and Ford recently launched new EV promotions.
On Thursday, Hyundai launched a new promo on the upgraded 2025 IONIQ 5, which includes monthly leases as low as $199 and a free ChargePoint home EV charger (or $400 charging credit). Meanwhile, Ford extended its “Power Promise” program earlier this month, which also includes a free home charger, among several other benefits.
The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV started at $41,900 with up to 315 miles range. Prices for the electric Chevy Blazer start at $43,690 with up to 279 miles range.
