Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals that are still alive and well.

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.

Get up to $246 in free accessories when pre-ordering Lectric’s new XP Lite 2.0 Folding e-bikes

Lectric eBikes has launched its new XP Lite 2.0 e-bike, giving up to $246 in free accessories along with your pre-order purchase starting at $799 shipped for the standard models and from $999 shipped for the long-range models. This new commuter solution from Lectric comes bearing the affordable price of its predecessor, despite some significant changes one would think might increase its price. Jumping on this deal now will score you $148 in free accessories for the standard model, giving you an 850-lux Elite headlight and an accordion-style bike lock, while the long-range models receive the same with the addition of a set of fenders to cover both tires alongside a steel rear cargo rack – all of it expected to be offered until they begin shipping next month. On top of these pre-order deals, you’ll also find a curated list of all the other models under the brand receiving summer deals ahead of Father’s Day.

Starting off, the Standard XP Lite 2.0 e-bikes arrive with more color options than we’re used to seeing from Lectric (white, blue, sandstorm, lavender haze, and black). The black model, however, does run you $100 more in price due to the inclusion of a new carbon fiber-reinforced Gates Carbon Drive belt system that throws out the chained drivetrain for a quieter, smoother, and oil-free ride. This not only makes the e-bikes performance far more efficient over the course of its lifespan, but also ensures that it will outlast its chained counterparts after long-term usage.

Boasting 5 levels of pedal assistance, along with a half-twist grip throttle for pure electric action, this e-bike sports a 300W rear-hub motor (819W peak) alongside a removable 375Wh battery for up to 45 miles at its max 20 MPH speed on a single charge. They come with an impressive lineup of features as well, including hydraulic mineral oil brakes, BMX-style handlebars, 20×2.5-inch slick tires with a 3mm Hippo Skin liner and pre-Slimed tubes for anti-puncture resistance, folding capabilities at the handlebar stem, main frame, and even at the foot pedals, and a full color LCD display with a USB-A charging port.

You’ll find much of the same designs and features when it comes to Lectric’s long-range XP Lite 2.0 e-bikes, starting with the same color schemes (white, blue, sandstorm, lavender haze, and black) – and yes, as before, the black model sports the same upgraded belt system at $100 more. The big difference here is the larger 672Wh battery that extends its mileage up to 80 miles on a single charge.

Jackery power stations, bundles, and accessories now up to $2,200 off in three-day flash sale

Jackery is launching its Environment Day flash sale through June 7 that is taking up to $2,200 off a selection of the brand’s power stations, bundles, and accessories. The largest of these discounts is on the Explorer 1500 Portable Power Station for $899 shipped, after using the on-page promo code at checkout. Normally fetching $1,499, this unit mainly saw discounts from other sites like Amazon more frequently than from Jackery itself, with today’s deal coming in to beat our previous mention by $100, returning costs to the all-time lowest price we have tracked (last seen during Black Friday sales) and giving you $600 in savings. The Explorer 1500 Pro comes equipped with a 1,534Wh battery capacity, and can dish out up to 1,800W of power to its eight ports: three AC ports, two USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and one car outlet. It has a 1,400W solar power input, and can fully charge in up to two hours while using six 200W solar panels, or via a wall outlet.

Velotric Father’s Day sale takes $300 off e-bikes

Velotric has launched its Ride into Father’s Day sale that is taking up to $300 off a collection of the brand’s e-bikes, with one such model, the Fold 1 e-bike, also coming with bonus free accessories along with your purchase at $1,199 shipped. Down from $1,399, this is the lowest price we have tracked for this model after having been left out of more recent sales. It comes in today as a solid $200 markdown – plus with the additional rearview mirror and phone mount, valued at $66 – that’s ultimately $266 in savings that gets to stay right in your pocket (for when you go out on your first cruising adventure).

Velotric’s Fold 1 is an ideal commuter solution for those with less storage space, with the model’s 55-mile travel range able to carry you wherever it is you need to be around town, folding in three easy steps to a size of 38.1 inches by 22 inches by 15.2 inches to stow away inside car trunks, closets, on boats, and more. It arrives sporting a 48V (608Wh) battery paired alongside a 750W motor (1050W peak) that can either be utilized through the throttle for pure electric action up to 45 miles, or through its five levels of pedal assistance for the 10 additional miles as well. It also comes stocked with an integrated rear cargo rack, hydraulic disc brakes, a SHIMANO 7-speed drivetrain, puncture-resistant tires, an integrated and adjustable LED headlight, a rear brake light, and an LCD display with a USB-A port to charge your phone as you ride.

Blink + Hubject unlock easier EV charging across North America

Blink Charging (Nasdaq: BLNK) has struck a deal with Hubject to make charging easier for EV drivers across North America.

The agreement will bring Blink into Hubject’s intercharge eRoaming platform as a charge point operator. That means electric mobility service providers (eMSPs) and their customers in the US, Canada, and Mexico will soon have access to Blink’s charging stations through their existing apps. In turn, Blink drivers will gain better access to stations connected through Hubject’s network.

Hubject, which already connects more than 1 million charging points and 2,750 partners worldwide, expects the integration to strengthen its North American presence by adding Blink’s wide-ranging network of chargers, from Level 2 workplace stations to DC fast charging. Blink, meanwhile, anticipates more customers will plug in, thanks to Hubject’s reach.

“Our collaboration with Blink marks an important step in expanding our North American intercharge network,” said Trishan Peruma, CEO of Hubject North America. “By integrating Blink’s network into our eRoaming platform, we aim to help reduce barriers that have historically complicated EV charging and to support the continued growth of EV adoption across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.”

Blink Charging’s president and CEO Mike Battaglia added, “Connecting the Blink Network to Hubject’s platform will allow more drivers to benefit from interoperable charging while traveling.”

The integration will use the industry-standard OCPI protocol to keep billing and communication between networks secure and reliable. Deployment is planned in phases throughout 2025, with full integration targeted for the end of the year.

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N gets a new Essentials trim in Korea and a lower price tag

Hyundai-IONIQ-5-Essentials

Hyundai wants to make the electric sports car for everyone. Not just those who can afford it. The new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N Essentials trim was launched in Korea on Monday, offering a lower price tag but the same thrilling drive.

Hyundai launches new IONIQ 5 N Essentials in Korea

The IONIQ 5 N is Hyundai’s first EV sports car under the IONIQ series. Initially launched in 2023, the IONIQ 5 N marked a new era for Hyundai’s high-performance N division.

Hyundai’s electric hot hatch not only looks the part with added sporty “N” branded elements scattered inside and out, but it’s also packed with fun features, advanced tech, and a host of drive modes.

Based on a dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) powertrain, the IONIQ 5 N delivers up to 641 horsepower when N Grin Boost is engaged. Even without it, the electric sports car packs 601 hp.

It also draws power from an 84 kWh battery, good for an EPA-estimated range of 221 miles. On the WLTP scale, it’s rated with an official range of 278 miles (448 km). The added power results in a lower range than other IONIQ 5 trims.

Although it was already one of the most affordable sports cars, EV or gas-powered, Hyundai is lowering the price even further.

After launching the new Essentials model in South Korea on Monday, Hyundai said the new trim “is characterized by lowering the barrier to entry so that customers can experience the overwhelming driving performance of the IONIQ 5 N at a reasonable price through optimized specifications.”

Hyundai focused on core convenience features while including the same high-performance motors, battery, and N-specific elements as the base model.

A Hyundai official said, “The Essential trim of the IONIQ 5 N is a new trim that offers greater cost-effectiveness to lower the barrier to entry for high-performance electric vehicles.”

The IONIQ 5 N features advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including highway driving assist and navigation-based smart cruise control. Hyundai has also added an exclusive new “Parking Assist Lite” package, offering safety and convenience features such as surround view monitoring and rear parking assistance.

The new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N Essentials trim starts at 74.9 million won ($54,000), including tax benefits. Hyundai said it will continue to make competitive products so more buyers can experience high-performance EVs.

Although the Essentials trim is not available in the US, the IONIQ 5 N is still more affordable than most sports cars. The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N starts at $66,200. But, with the $7,500 tax credit, which is set to expire on September 30, leases are currently listed as low as $549 per month.

In a blow to Trump, judge clears Ørsted’s Revolution Wind to resume

In a blow to Trump, judge clears Ørsted’s Revolution Wind to resume

A federal judge has cleared the way for Ørsted’s nearly complete 704-megawatt (MW) Revolution Wind offshore wind farm to restart construction, overturning a stop-work order imposed by the Trump administration.

Reagan-appointed senior US District Judge Royce C. Lamberth granted a preliminary injunction in Washington, DC, calling the government’s conduct “the height of arbitrary and capricious government conduct.” He added, “If Revolution Wind cannot meet benchmark deadlines, the entire project could collapse. There is no doubt in my mind of irreparable harm to the plaintiffs.”

Ørsted welcomed the ruling and said in a statement, “Revolution Wind will continue to seek to work collaboratively with the US Administration and other stakeholders toward a prompt resolution. Revolution Wind will resume impacted construction work as soon as possible, with safety as the top priority.”

The decision marks a significant setback for the Trump administration’s attempts to stall offshore wind development. Revolution Wind is already about 80% complete, with all turbine foundations and 45 of 65 turbines successfully installed, and expected to power 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut. Earlier this month, the two states’ attorneys general announced they were suing the Trump administration to overturn its “baseless” decision to halt Revolution Wind. That underlying lawsuit challenging the stop-work order will continue to progress.

Oceantic Network CEO Liz Burdock said, “Today’s decision allowing work to resume on Revolution Wind is welcome news for the hundreds of skilled workers who can now return to their jobs while the legal process continues. This Made in America energy project is putting Americans to work building reliable, affordable power to communities across New England that desperately need it.”
