Goal Zero’s three latest Yeti Portable Power Stations hit new all-time lows starting from $225

As part of its early Memorial Day sales, the official Goal Zero Amazon storefront is taking up to 40% off its lineup of power stations, bundles, and accessories. The most notable standouts are the company’s three newest Yeti power stations – all of them receiving their second official discounts since releasing to the public, as well as hitting new all-time lows. You’ll find the Yeti 300 Portable Power Station going for $224.89 shipped, the Yeti 500 power station for $374.89 shipped, and the Yeti 700 power station for $449.89 shipped. Today’s deal drops an equal 25% markdown on each of these units, with savings at $75 for the Yeti 300, $125 for the Yeti 500, and $150 for the Yeti 700.

All three of these 6th generation Yeti power stations were designed to better support folks during casual outdoor explorations, including during camping trips, tailgate parties, nights spent under the stars, road trips, and more. Sharing the same designs and features, the only real difference between them is their capacity sizes and output power levels: 297Wh (Yeti 300), 499Wh (Yeti 500), and 677Wh (Yeti 700). They share the same fast-charging capabilities when plugged into a wall outlet, with the Yeti 300 recharging in 50 minutes, the Yeti 500 in 90 minutes, and the Yeti 700 in under 2 hours. Your small appliance and device charging needs are covered by the two AC ports, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, plus the bonus car port – and all three can be hooked up to a solar panel with a max input level of 200W, with recharging ranging from 1.7 hours to 4 hours, depending on your model.

E-quipment highlight: Bobcat pitches electric telehandler concept

Lead the Charge with Bobcat’s New TL25.60e Electric Telehandler Concept

Bobcat unveiled the all-new TL25.60e electric telehandler concept at Intermat last month, with a 2.5 ton rated capacity, three electric motors, and the promise of unmatched energy efficiency and performance that’s objectively superior to diesel.

The Bobcat TL26.60e gets its energy efficient edge from its “actively cooled” li-ion batteries, which are designed to deliver consistent performance in any weather and help fleet operators maintain low running costs while maximizing efficiency and, as a consequence, savings.

Those batteries send power to three separate electric motors, one each to power drive, the rotating superstructure/cab, and the boom/attachments. Bobcat says the arrangement helps its electric telehandler concept consume energy only when it’s needed, and claims that the setup provides immediate responsiveness for all the machine’s movements. That kind of quiet, vibration-free precision control should make the TL26.60e’s operator cab a great place to work from.

Speaking of the cab, it’s the same one found in Bobcat’s larger TLS models, despite the TL26.60e’s smaller footprint. The compact nature of the the machine’s electric components means there’s room for stuff like that – and, as a consequence, more room for operators.

“At Bobcat, we are committed to innovative design that prioritizes both cutting-edge technology and operator wellbeing,” says Vijay Nerva, Innovation Lead, Bobcat EMEA. “Our integration of ergonomics and digitization, exemplified by the transparent T-OLED screen, allows us to introduce customizable, interactive features without compromising the comfort and spacious design of our cabs.”

The TL26.60e features a top speed of 25 km/h, a 6 meter lifting height, and a 2.5 ton lifting capacity. The liquid-cooled battery has a 30 kWh capacity, which should be good for a full shift at most low-speed job sites.

Electrek’s Take

Bobcat’s electric telehandler concept is still just that, but as more and more construction companies come up agains no-drip job sites, low emissions zones, tightening noise regulations, and the ESG goals of both corporate and government clients, it seems like only a matter of time before machines like this become more the rule than the exception.

Chevy cuts Equinox EV lease prices by nearly 0 per month

Chevy-Equinox-EV-lease-prices

If you were looking to lease Chevy’s new all-electric Equinox, it just got a lot cheaper. Chevy cut Equinox EV lease prices by nearly $140 per month. With new offers, the Chevy Equinox EV can be leased for as little as $379 per month.

After kicking off Equinox EV deliveries last month, Chevy is already introducing significant savings opportunities.

On Chevy’s website, 2024 Equinox EV lease prices start at just $379 per month. The deal is for 36 months, with $3,198 due at signing. It includes 10,000 miles a year and is based on an MSRP of $43,295. GM included $500 off for qualified lessees.

With an effective rate of $468, the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV is nearly $100 cheaper per month to lease than the Tesla Model Y.

According to online research firm CarsDirect, Tesla Model Y lease rates went up $50 this month. The Long Range model now starts at $449 with $4,143 due at signing, or $564 per month.

Meanwhile, the RS trim is significantly discounted. The Chevy Equinox RS can be leased for $429 for 36 months. With $3,109 due at signing, that amounts to $515 per month.

Chevy Equinox EV lease prices drop to just $379/mo

Previously, the RS trim had an effective cost of $651 per month ($569 for 39 months and $3,209 due at signing), meaning it’s $136 cheaper per month to lease.

Based on CarsDirect data, GM raised the 36-month residual values on the RS model to 75% from 68%, while the lease rate dropped from 7.3% to 5.5%.

Chevy Equinox EV trim

 Starting Price
1LT FWD $34,995
2LT FWD $43,295
2RS FWD $44,795
3LT FWD $45,295
3RS FWD $46,795
Chevy Equinox EV prices (including $1,395 destination fee)

Chevy’s current 2LT FWD is the cheapest model hitting dealerships, starting at $43,295. The lower-priced $34,995 will be available to order later this year. All trims are eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit.

Although this is a significant deal, Chevy Blazer EV lease prices are even more appealing. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV is listed at $369 per month for 24 months. With $1,679 due upfront, the effective lease rate is $439 per month, only $10 more than the gas-powered model.

Chevy isn’t the only one cutting EV lease prices. Honda slashed lease prices on its first electric SUV, the Prologue. The 2024 Honda Prologue now starts at $399 per month for 36 months (with $3,999 due at signing).
