With Father’s Day having past, Green Deals are starting to slow, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a few ongoing discounts worth checking out. Headlining today’s deals is the second-ever discount (twice as big as the first) on Segway’s Navimow H Series Robot Mowers that start from $1,299. They are joined by the leftover Father’s Day sale over at Jackery that is taking up to 42% off power stations, bundles, and accessories – and even offering five chances to win free equipment! There’s also a one-day deal on the popular Worx 7.5-inch 12A Lawn Edger/Trencher that will remain at $100 for the rest of the day. 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.

Segway’s new Navimow H Series Robot Mowers get second discount to new lows, starting from $1,299

Segway is taking $600 off its new Navimow H Series Robot Mowers starting from $1,299 shipped, after using the on-page promo code CUT$600H at checkout. Fetching $1,899, $2,199, and $2,599 respectively since their release in March, this is the second official discount we have tracked on these brand new smart lawncare solutions, saving you $600 (twice as much as its first discounts at the top of the month) and landing at a new all-time low across the board for each. It even matches the deals over at Amazon, where all three models are receiving the same $600 discount.

Segway’s Navimow H series of robot mowers has three options to choose from: a 0.2-acre model with a 180-minute battery life on a single charge, as well as a 0.37-acre model and a 0.74-acre model that both offer an extended 240 minutes of battery life. All three provide the same cutting height range of 1.2 inches to 2.4 inches, handle up to 24-degree slopes, plus they each boast an IP66 waterproof rating that combats adverse weather conditions.

A standout upgrade with the Navimow H Series models is the tossing out of any perimeter wires in favor of RTK positioning, coupled with a VisionFence Sensor, for superior navigation and obstacle avoidance. You’ll have the typical smart controls of course, to overwrite and adjust settings, schedules, performance – but you’ll also have the freedom to forget about it and let it just do its thing – returning itself to its charging station when too low on power and picking up where it left off once recharged. It accomplishes all this thanks to the guidance of Global Navigation Satellite Systems that keep it within the boundaries you set and also track it down if it gets hung up on some terrain or even stolen off the property. Head below for more.

Segway does have a more affordable robot mowing option in the Navimow i Series, which start from $999 (matching the price over at Amazon) and unfortunately do not benefit from any discounts like the above models. You have only two options here, either the 1/8-acre yard model or the 1/4-acre yard model, with both providing most of the same smart functionality, RTK navigation, and obstacle avoidance. You can get the full rundown in our announcement coverage from earlier this year.

Jackery Father's Day sale takes 42% off power stations, bundles, and accessories - within post for Segway Navimow H Series Robot Mowers

Jackery power stations, bundles, and accessories are 42% off during ongoing sales – with chances to win free equipment!

Jackery has ongoing Father’s Day sales through June 21 that is taking up to 42% off a collection of power stations, bundles, and accessories, like the Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station with two 200W Solar Panels for $2,399 shipped, after using the on-page promo code DAD900 at checkout. Down from its regular $3,299 price tag, we’ve mainly been seeing this particular combo drop around $2,699 during most sales since the new year began, with things changing for the first time last month during Memorial Day sales when it hit the $2,399 low. That deal is being repeated here during this sale as a 27% markdown that saves you $900 and returns costs to the all-time lowest we have tracked. If you just want the power station by itself, it is currently discounted to $1,699, after using the on-page promo code DAD500 at checkout.

Boasting a 2,042.8Wh capacity, this power station offers massive expansion possibilities for your campsite, Nomad setup, or even home backup power. It can support up to five expandable batteries that bumps its capacity to 12,000Wh, or you could connect two Explorer 2000 Plus stations together, each with five batteries, and further increase the capacity to 24,000Wh. With a max solar input of 1,200W, this station can be fully charged in up to two hours by connecting it to six SolarSaga 200W panels or via wall outlet (this does not account for any expandable combinations you may be using). You’ll have 10 output ports to cover devices and appliances (five ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, and one car port), plus complete control to monitor and adjust settings through the Jackery app via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

There are also two bundle offers for the Explorer 2000 Plus that are worth considering – especially if you’re planning to utilize its expandable capacity. First, you can grab the power station and solar panels along with one expandable battery for $3,599, after using the on-page promo code DAD1400 at checkout, doubling its initial capacity to 4,085.6Wh. Next, you can go one step further by adding a second expandable battery to the bundle and bumping the capacity up to 6,128.4Wh for $4,399, after using the on-page promo code DAD2100 at checkout.

Worx 7.5-inch 12A lawn edger within post for Segway Navimow H series robot mowers

Worx’s 7.5-inch 12A Lawn Edger/Trencher keeps yards shaped up with clean lines at $100 for today only

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Worx 7.5-inch 12A Lawn Edger/Trencher for $99.99 shipped. Normally going for $130, it’s seen five discounts since the new year began, starting at $97 in February, followed by three periods at $99, and a drop further to the 2024 $94 low ahead of Father’s Day sales. Today’s deal comes in as the fourth-lowest price we have tracked, amounting to a 23% markdown that still takes off a solid $30 from the price tag, and even beats out Amazon’s current pricing.

This corded edger/trencher by Worx utilizes a 12A motor in order to spin its 7.5-inch blade up to 4,700 RPMs for more professional lines and edges around your lawn and/or property. There are three adjustable depths to choose from here, either 1-inch, 1-1/4-inch, or 1-1/2 inch, plus it has a cutting line indicator to guide you along the straight and narrow paths. Its shaft also sports an adjustable design for more comfortable use regardless of anyone’s height, and with it being a corded model, you won’t have to worry about recharging batteries before or after its use either.

If you were actually hoping for a cordless model, Amazon is currently offering the Worx GT Revolution 20V 12-inch String Trimmer/Edger/Mini-Mower for $99, down from $120. With this three-in-one device that can top out at 7,600 RPMs, you’ll have everything you need to clean up and highlight your yard’s beauty. It has seven handle adjustment options for added comfort while the six rotating head settings offer added flexibility.

Summer e-bike deals!

The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

UAW tells Stellantis workers to prepare for a fight, and vote for strike

UAW tells Stellantis workers to prepare for a fight, and vote for strike

Update on situation at Stellantis

The UAW union’s Stellantis Council met yesterday to discuss the beleaguered carmaker’s “ongoing failure” to honor the agreement that ended the 2023 labor strike, and their latest union memo doesn’t pull many punches.

It’s not a great time to be Stellantis. Its dealers are suing leadership and threatening to oust the company’s controversial CEO, Carlos Tavares, as sales continue to crater in North America, it can’t move its new, high-profile electric Fiat, and it’s first luxury electric Jeep isn’t ready. And now, things are about to get bad.

In an email sent out by the UAW earlier today (received at 4:55PM CST), UAW President Shawn Fain wrote, “For years, the company picked us off plant-by-plant and we lacked the will and the means to fight back. Today is different. Because we stood together and demanded the right to strike over job security—product commitment—we have the tools to fight back and win … We unanimously recommend to the membership that every UAW worker at Stellantis prepare for a fight, and we all get ready to vote YES to authorize a strike at Stellantis.”

The dispute seems to stem from Stellantis’ inability to commit to new product (and continued employment) at its UAW-run plants and other failings to meet its strike-ending obligations. This, despite a €3 billion stock buyback executed in late 2023.

I’ve included the memo, in its entirety, below. Take a look for yourself, and let us know what you think of the UAW’s call for action in the comments.

Kia EV9 GT caught with an active spoiler for the first time [Video]

Kia EV9 GT caught with an active spoiler for the first time [Video]

Kia-EV9-GT-active-spoiler

Kia promises the new EV9 GT will have “enormous power,” but that’s not all. For the first time, the Kia EV9 GT was caught with an active spoiler, giving us a sneak peek at potential new upgrades.

The brand’s first three-row electric SUV is already making its presence known in the US, helping push Kia to back-to-back record sales months. Meanwhile, a more powerful, sporty variant is on the way.

Kia confirmed the EV9 GT will top off the electric SUV’s lineup in April. Packing “enormous power,” the high-performance GT model can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 4 secs.

With a “high-output” dual-motor (AWD) system, the EV9 GT can quickly pick up speed despite weighing over 5,000 lbs.

Kia also equipped it with other high-performance features, such as a reinforced suspension and electronic braking system, for better control and stability.

We’ve already caught a glimpse of the performance electric SUV out testing, revealing aggressive new bumpers and wheels. Now, a new design feature has been spotted.

Kia EV9 GT could come with an active rear spoiler

The latest video from HealerTV shows the EV9 GT with what appears to be an active spoiler. As the reporter noted, it could be similar to the one spotted on the Genesis GV70 Magma.

Tesla’s Model X also used to come with an active spoiler until it was dropped a few years back. Although the GT model was spotted with one, Kia could just be testing new features, so don’t get too excited yet.

Earlier this week, a video from HealerTV showed the front row of the EV9 GT, comparing it to the current GT-Line model.

Several differences can be immediately noticed, including a more aggressive, all-black design with a yellow stripe down the center of the seat.

Kia is set to launch the EV9 GT in early 2025. It will rival other performance SUVs like the Tesla Model X Plaid.

Although prices have yet to be confirmed, the GT model is expected to sit above the current GT-Line at $73,900. In comparison, Tesla’s Model X Plaid starts at $94,990 and can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 secs.

Chargeway and Consumer Reports team up to improve charging

Chargeway and Consumer Reports team up to improve charging

CHARGEWAY PARTNERS WITH CONSUMER REPORTS TO IMPROVE PUBLIC EV CHARGING REVIEWS & RATINGS

Consumer Reports and EV charging app Chargeway are working together to give drivers a better way to rate public chargers, report uptime, and address maintenance issues.

The Chargeway app is best known for its use of numbers and colors to simplify the complexity of multiple charge ports and different charging speeds for new EV drivers. The app also enables Chargeway users to rate and review the public charging stations they visit – and now, those ratings can show up on Consumer Reports.

The technical collaboration with Chargeway is part of a larger effort called the EV Charging Community, which engages with a number of different EV advocacy groups including Plug In America, GreenLatinos, and Generation 180, and leverages the mobile app to rate public EV charging experiences based on various factors, with the findings reported back to industry stakeholders like EVSE manufacturers, CPOs, and utilities.

Be heard

“We are very excited to be partnering with Consumer Reports,” says Chargeway founder, Matt Teske. “From day one, Chargeway has focused on a driver first app design to provide easier EV charging experiences as well as transparency for what drivers can anticipate at (the) station they choose … we share Consumer Reports’ goal to give drivers a voice in the public EV charging reliability conversation. Now, instead of posting complaints on social media and feeling ignored, EV drivers can use the Chargeway mobile app to provide their feedback to the leading consumer advocacy organization.”

Consumer Reports says it’s already seen nearly a third of its 1,600 enrolled community members experience a problem with public charging, so it’s a real problem. “Charging stations are critical services, but when they’re out of order or barely functional, it wastes consumers’ valuable time,” explains Drew Toher, Consumer Reports’ sustainability campaign manager.

Consumer Reports points out that EV drivers who don’t use Chargeway can also enroll to be part of the community at this link.

Electrek’s Take

Chargeway founder Matt Teske is an old friend. He’s a good friend, too, so it’s great to see his top-shelf EV charging app starting to get some of the recognition it deserves. The CR tie-up and added visibility these ratings will give to industry stakeholders are only going to make things better for EV drivers everywhere.

That up there? That’s one of my early interview episodes of Quick Charge featuring a walkthrough of Chargeway+, another collab between Matt and Austin Energy. Enjoy!
