It is joined by another newbie, the LG 7.8 cubic-foot Smart Front Load Electric Dryer with a ventless heat pump for $1,099, as well as a familiar face in the form of NIU’s KQi Air Carbon Fiber Foldable Electric Kick Scooter at $1,049. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals – including all the leftover Memorial Day discounts that are still alive and well.

Rare discount on Tesla’s Universal Wall Connector Level 2 Hardwired EV Charger drops price to new $580 low
Best Buy is offering the Tesla Universal Wall Connector Level 2 Hardwired EV Charger for $580 shipped. Usually going for $620, this is a rare opportunity to save money on this universally compatible device. It’s been riding its MSRP for as long as we have tracked, with even last year’s Black Friday and Christmas sales not affecting the price. Today’s deal is a $40 markdown off the going rate that lands at a new all-time low, and also matches the current discount over at Amazon, as well.
This EV charger boasts a customizable output of up to 48A of power, which can be adjusted during indoor or outdoor installations. While cheaper models tend to only support Tesla models, this charger instead employs an integrated J1772 adapter making it compatible with most other EV brands/models outside the Tesla boundaries. You’ll be getting upward to 44 miles of travel range per hour of charging when set at its maximum amperage – plus, it’ll keep itself updated with the latest firmware when connected to a local Wi-Fi network or through the Tesla app. If you’re part of a Tesla-only household, consider the cheaper non-universal EV charger that is sitting at $450, matching its Amazon rate.

LG’s most energy-efficient Smart Electric Ventless Dryer falls to new $1,099 low
LG is offering a special deal on its 7.8 cubic-foot Smart Front Load Electric Dryer with a ventless heat pump for $1,099 shipped. Already down from its $1,799 price tag, this deal gives you an extra $200 off as well once the appliance has been placed in your cart. While we have seen this model regularly go as low as $1,300 on other sites like Best Buy, today’s deal marks a new all-time low overall – especially when considering the lessened amount of sales direct from the manufacturer like this, giving you a total $700 in savings and a great opportunity to upgrade your laundry room with a more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly option. You’ll also find this dryer marked down to $1,300 at Best Buy, so for any of you who may have grabbed a gift card during Memorial Day or already have lingering credit, you might be able to get a lower price there.
Sporting a larger 7.8 cubic-foot “mega capacity” than more standard models, this ENERGY STAR certified dryer brings your home further into the 21st century with a sleek look and AI-supported functionality. Alongside the smart controls you’ll get via the companion app (including voice controls when connected to Alexa or Google Assistant), this appliance features AI Sensor Dry, which can not only detect the fabric types and the size of the load placed inside, but also adjust settings as needed during the cycles – saving you the headache of memorizing what cycle and settings are most desirable for particular articles of clothes. Its main claim to fame, though, is its ventless design, giving you the freedom to install it anywhere, plus – its added dual inverter heat pump technology uses “up to 65% less energy,” while also running at quieter levels.

NIU KQI Air Foldable Electric Kick Scooter returns to $1,049 low
Best Buy is offering the NIU KQi Air Carbon Fiber Foldable Electric Kick Scooter for $1,049 shipped. Normally fetching $1,399, this newer scooter has seen relatively few discounts when compared to some of NIU’s other models, with only some minor discounts under its belt returning costs to the same low. Today’s deal is one of these repeated discounts, coming in as a 25% markdown off the going rate that saves you $350 and returns it to the all-time lowest price we have tracked. You can learn about this model further – or its successor, the upcoming KQI Air X, by heading below or reading through our hands-on review.
The NIU KQi Air is the lightest available model under the NIU brand (until the KQi Air X officially begins shipping next month), coming equipped with a 350W motor (700W peak) and a 451Wh battery that hits up to 20 MPH top speeds for up to 31 miles on a single 5-hour charge. It offers five different riding modes to choose from: E-save, sport, dynamic, pedestrian, and cruise control – with the slower speeds obviously saving you battery juice for longer rides.
It also come with a variety of features like a front disc brake with regenerative braking, an IP55 waterproof rating, an integrated LED display, a Halo headlight, a taillight with brake light functionality, turn signals on the ends of the wide-reaching handlebar, ambient lighting on its body, a 41% wider deck, 9.5-inch tubeless tires, and an electric horn. You’ll also be able to control the settings via the companion app, which you can lock and unlock your scooter with for added security.

Energy giants Baker Hughes, Woodside shy away from making oil forecasts as Iran-Israel conflict escalates

The CEOs of two major energy companies are monitoring the developments between Iran and Israel — but they aren’t about to make firm predictions on oil prices.
Both countries traded strikes over the weekend, after Israel targeted nuclear and military facilities in Iran on Friday, killing some of its top nuclear scientists and military commanders.
Speaking at the Energy Asia conference in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, Lorenzo Simonelli, president and CEO of energy technology company Baker Hughes, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” that “my experience has been, never try and predict what the price of oil is going to be, because there’s one sure thing: You’re going to be wrong.”
Simonelli said the last 96 hours “have been very fluid,” and expressed hope that there would be a de-escalation in tensions in the region.
“As we go forward, we’ll obviously monitor the situation like everybody else is. It is moving very quickly, and we’re going to anticipate the aspect of what’s next,” he added, saying that the company will take a wait-and-see approach for its projects.
At the same conference, Meg O’Neill, CEO of Australian oil and gas giant Woodside Energy, likewise told CNBC that the company is monitoring the impact of the conflict on markets around the world.
She highlighted that forward prices were already experiencing “very significant” effects in light of the events of the past four days.
If supplies through the Strait of Hormuz are affected, “that would have even more significant effects on prices, as customers around the world would be scrambling to meet their own energy needs,” she added.
As of Sunday, the Strait remained open, according to an advisory from the Joint Maritime Information Center. It said, “There remains a media narrative on a potential blockade of the [Strait of Hormuz]. JMIC has no confirmed information pointing towards a blockade or closure, but will follow the situation closely.”
Iran was reportedly considering closing the Strait of Hormuz in response to the attacks.
O’Neill said that oil and gas prices are closely linked to geopolitics, citing as examples events that date back to World War II and the oil crisis in the 1970s.
Nevertheless, she would not make a firm prediction on the price of oil, saying, “there’s many things we can forecast. The price of oil in five years is not something I would try to put a bet on.”
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital waterway between Iran and the United Arab Emirates. About 20% of the world’s oil passes through it.
It is the only sea route from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration has described it as the “world’s most important oil transit chokepoint.”

Shares of Santos surged as much as 15.23% Monday, after it received a non-binding takeover offer of $18.72 billion by an Abu Dhabi’s National Oil Company-led group.
The move marks the biggest intraday jump in the Australian oil and gas producer’s shares since April 2020, LSEG data shows.
