After a week of incredible e-bike deals and special pre-order discounts, you’d think there wouldn’t be much left to cover, but as spring flowers bloom, so too does the desire for adventure – with three more deals. The joint WORX and Aventon e-bike hits $1,190 while a Lectric e-bike sale pairs deals with free accessory bundles. Plus, the RadRunner e-bike line starts from $1,299 alongside all of the other day’s best Green Deals below.

Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

WORX and Aventon Power Share e-bike hits $1,190 low

WORX is offering its Aventon e-bike powered by Power Share for $1,189.99 shipped. Normally fetching $1,700, this e-bike has seen very few discounts directly from its parent company since its release in January 2023, with most being minor discounts of 10% at most, and the others dropping costs to $1,500 at the lowest. It was available on Amazon at one point, where it saw more frequent discounts over the last year – the previous discount being to $1,199 before it became unavailable, which has been seen at other retailers such as Lowe’s and Walmart as well. Today’s deal comes in as a 30% markdown off the going rate that gives you $510 in savings and marking a new all-time low.

This e-bike is the culmination of WORX’s partnership with Aventon, coming equipped with a 350W motor that is powered by two 8.0Ah Power Share batteries that can be interchanged and used by any lifestyle, power tool, and outdoor power equipment products from the Power Share line. It can reach a top speed of 20 MPH for 28 miles on a single charge and has five levels of pedal assistance alongside a throttle for full electric action when you just want to cruise around town. It has a simplified features detail that includes a step-through frame, 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, Tektro mechanical disc brakes, an IPX4 splash waterproof rating, and a backlit LCD display that gives you real-time performance data and pedal assistance setting controls.

Save on e-bike bundles in Lectric’s Earth Day Sale

Lectric eBikeshas launched an Earth Day Sale through April 22 that is giving up to $727 in free add-on accessories along with your purchase from the selection of the brand’s popular e-bike models. The biggest chance to save is on the XPeak Off-Road High-Step e-bike for $1,399 shipped and the XPeak Off-Road Step-Thru e-bike that is also going for $1,399 shipped, which you can learn about below or by reading through our hands-on review. Since its release in October, we’ve only ever seen this model go for $100 cheaper during occasional sales, the most recent being the company’s February flash sale. Along with your purchase, you’ll also be getting the XPeak spare battery, a rear cargo rack, fenders for both tires, an Elite headlight, and an RST Renegade suspension fork that will arrive pre-installed on the bike for you. All-in-all, this entire package with the e-bike would normally cost you $2,126. We’ve also curated a list below of all the other models and their respective deals.

Like most of Lectric’s models, the XPeak Off-Road e-bike has two color schemes that also go along with its designs, with the high-step model coming in black and the step-thru model coming in white. They are both equipped with a 750W rear hub-motor (1310W Peak) paired with a removable 48V battery that propels the bike up to 28 MPH for up to 55 miles on a single charge. They have five levels of pedal assistance that are monitored by a unique cadence sensor combined with the company’s PWR+ technology, as well as an ergonomic below-the-bar trigger throttle for pure electric action. There’s also an array of add-on features like 4-inch puncture-resistant fat tires, hydraulic mineral oil brakes, a 7-gear Shimano drivetrain, removable pedals, a thru-axle wheel attachment system for tool-free installations, kickstand, a hidden cable routing system, plenty of mounting points for add-ons, and an IP65 water-and-dust-resistant LCD display for real-time performance data.

radrunner 3 plus

Rad Power takes $100 off RadRunner e-bikes and plants trees for Earth Day

Rad Power Bikes has launched an Earth Day Sale through April 24 that is taking $100 off its RadRunner line of e-bikes and committing to planting trees through the National Forest Foundation for every purchase. The best of these deals is on the RadRunner 3 Plus Utility e-bike for $2,099 shipped with the added bonus of receiving a free accessory that is valued under $100. It first launched at $2,299 in March 2023 and has since fallen to a $2,199 MSRP after Rad Power lowered prices across its entire e-bike lineup. We’ve only seen it fall as low as $1,899 during occasional flash sales, often being left out or discounted by $100 during major sales events like Black Friday or Christmas. You can learn more about this model by heading below or reading through our hands-on review.

This utility e-bike comes equipped with a 750W rear hub motor and 672Wh battery that propels it to a max speed of 20 MPH and travels up to 45+ miles on a single charge. It features a five-level pedal assist with a 12 magnet cadence sensor, and a full digital display that gives you a charge indicator, speedometer, odometer, trip odometer, pedal assist level, motor watts, headlight/taillight indicator, trip time, and a clock. It also comes stocked with a rear-mounted cargo rack that offers a 120-pound payload, puncture-resistant fat tires, fenders for both wheels, a standard LED headlight, and an integrated taillight with brake light capabilities.

While the RadRunner 2 and the RadRunner Plus are discounted to $1,299 and $1,699 as part of this sale, they are not included to receive a free accessory like the above model. They both come with a 750W motor and a 672Wh battery that propels them to a max speed of 20 MPH and travels 50 miles for the RadRunner 2 and 45 miles for the RadRunner Plus. The RadRunner 2 has four levels of pedal assistance with a cadence sensor and simple control panel, whereas the RadRunner Plus has five levels of pedal assistance, with a bonus zero level for when you want to manually pedal the bike yourself. They both come with a variety of add-on accessories, but its the Plus model that has been given upgraded ones like its LCD display also having a USB port to charge your personal devices.

This Earth Day Sale will continue through April 24, with the discount on the RadRunner 3 Plus being automatically applied in cart when you add the e-bike and an accessory under $100. You can browse through Rad Power’s included accessories here. And head over to our Green Deals hub to look through all the other e-bike brands that are having spring sales, as well as deals on power stations, electric tools, water heaters, and more.

You can save up to $7,994 on Anker’s SOLIX F3800 Plus station + bundles at new low prices for Prime Day starting from $2,564

As part of its ongoing Prime Day Sale running through July 13, Anker SOLIX is dropping the prices lower than ever on its new F3800 Plus Portable Power Station starting at $2,564.05 shipped, after using the promo code PDSG5OFF at checkout for an extra 5% in savings – plus, you’ll be getting a free protective cover to boot! We saw this model drop from its $4,799 MSRP to hit a short-lived former $2,649 low in the brand’s early Prime Day sale, which is getting beaten out here by $85. It’s also beating out its current Amazon pricing of $2,699 (usually keeping between $2,999 and $3,899), with the combined 47% markdown here giving you a massive $2,235 in savings at the best new price that we have tracked. And don’t forget about all its bundle options we’ve collected below that are also down at new lows through the weekend.

Anker’s SOLIX F3800 Plus, as well as its standard F3800 predecessor, are the brand’s largest expanding backup units that start at a sizeable 3,840Wh LiFePO4 capacity, with further investments bolstering that capacity up to a 26,900Wh maximum (when six batteries are attached). It has 15 output port options to connect devices, appliances, and vehicles – with the latter being covered by the L14-30R and TT-30R ports for EVs and RVs. You’ll get up to a steady 6,000W power output normally, while it can surge as high as 9,000W when needed. That output even expands when two stations are paired together, raising the rate to 12,000W for home backup coverage.

In terms of recharging, the F3800 Plus brings an additional method to the table with its 6,000W input it can receive from a gas generator, while its solar input max has increased to 3,200W (from 2,400W). Of course, there’s also the usual AC outlet charging and more to keep it juiced up and running.

Volkswagen’s 47% BEV sales jump includes a 24% boost in the US

Volkswagen’s 47% BEV sales jump includes a 24% boost in the US

Volkswagen-EV-sales-Europe

Volkswagen Group‘s global EV deliveries surged by about 50% in the first half of 2025 year-over-year, with 465,500 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) delivered globally by the end of June.

That’s a 47% jump in BEV deliveries from 317,200 in the first half of 2024. BEVs made up 11% of Volkswagen Group’s total global sales, up from just 7% a year ago.

Europe saw the biggest growth in BEVs in H1 2025, where deliveries nearly doubled, up 89%. The US saw solid gains too, with a 24% increase. China was the outlier, with BEV sales slipping 34%, thanks to stiff competition from domestic brands. Even so, Volkswagen Group remains the BEV market leader in Europe, holding onto a 28% share. “One in five vehicles we delivered in Western Europe is now purely electric,” noted Volkswagen Group’s Marco Schubert.

Plug-in hybrids saw a solid boost, too. Volkswagen Group delivered 192,300 PHEVs worldwide in the first half of the year – a 41% jump from the 136,800 sold during the same period in 2024. The latest wave of second-gen PHEVs, with all-electric ranges of up to 143 km (about 89 miles), is helping drive that demand.

VW Group reports that its best-selling BEVs globally are:

  • Volkswagen ID.4/ID.5 84,900
  • Volkswagen ID.3 60,700
  • Audi Q4 e-tron (incl. Sportback) 44,600
  • Volkswagen ID.7 (incl. Tourer) 38,700
  • Škoda Enyaq (incl. Coupé) 38,700
  • Audi Q6 e-tron (incl. Sportback) 36,500

The new Nissan LEAF EV is already facing production cuts, but that’s not the whole story

The new Nissan LEAF EV is already facing production cuts, but that's not the whole story

New-Nissan-LEAF-EV-production

Nissan is already pulling back production plans for the new LEAF, which is set to launch later this year. As it scrambles to turn things around, this could further complicate Nissan’s recovery plan. And there’s even more going on behind the scenes.

Nissan scales back new LEAF EV production plans

The new LEAF is expected to be one of the most significant factors in Nissan’s comeback. In May, Nissan announced plans to reduce its global workforce by around 15% and close seven plants as part of its restructuring.

Last week, it began talks with workers at its Sunderland, UK, plant, where the new LEAF will be built, over voluntary retirement.

According to a new report from Japan’s Kyodo News (via Reuters), Nissan is already cutting production plans for the next-gen LEAF ahead of its launch later this year. The report cites a shortage of rare earth minerals due to China’s new export restrictions.

No specific details were mentioned, but a separate Automotive News report claims Nissan is also delaying two EVs that were scheduled to be built at its Canton, Mississippi, plant.

An internal memo revealed it would delay production by around 10 months. Nissan cited “recent slowing EV demand in the US,” thanks to the Trump Administration eliminating the federal tax credit.

It will now begin production of the Nissan-branded model in November 2028 and the Infiniti-branded version in March 2029.

Nissan-leaf-EV-production

Nissan spokesperson Kyle Bazemore said, “We’ve made the strategic decision to slightly adjust the production timeline for our EVs at the Canton plant.” It looks like Nissan is adjusting more than just that.

Adding to that, Nissan suspended production of three vehicles made in the US, according to a report from Nikkei on Wednesday. Nissan halted production of the Pathfinder and Murano at its Tennessee plant in May, as well as the Frontier pickup, which is built in Mississippi.

Electrek’s Take

As part of its recovery plan, Re:Nissan aims to cut costs by 250 billion yen as it seeks to return to profitability by the end of fiscal year 2026.

However, if it continues to delay production, Nissan will only fall further behind. The Japanese automaker is already losing market share to EV giants like BYD due to its aging vehicle lineup.

The new LEAF is expected to be a key growth driver over the next few years, with significant improvements in range, style, and charging capabilities. Facing a shortage, how many LEAFs will Nissan be able to build?

Nissan is the latest automaker to adjust its EV plans following Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.” Honda recently canceled plans to launch its three-row electric SUV in the US.
