With the few June sales events having come to a close over the weekend and future events like Amazon’s upcoming Prime Days waiting on the horizon, we’ve got a few notable Green Deals for you today in the downtime. Leading the charge today is Murf’s Fourth of July sale that is taking $400 off its e-bike lineup while also offering 20% off all accessories, with the company’s Higgs Step-Thru e-bike now sitting at $1,995. It is joined by Jackery’s latest sale that is taking 42% off a collection of power stations and bundles, with options like the Explorer 2000 Pro Portable Power Station bundled alongside two 200W solar panels for a return $1,899 low. There’s also Rachio’s Smart Hose Timer that has just fallen to a new $64 low as well, with other water controller options starting from $79. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals that are still alive and well.
Murf Fourth of July sale takes $400 off e-bikes starting from $1,795 with additional 20% off accessories
Murf Electric Bikes has launched its Fourth of July sale through July 7 that is taking $400 off the company’s e-bikes and 20% off accessories. Aside from one model that is available for pickup only, the most affordable amongst the bunch is the Higgs Step-Thru e-bike for $1,995 shipped. Down from its regular $2,395 price tag, we’ve only seen the occasional holiday sales that pop up to take $400 or $500 off this model (with most of the models receiving equally few discounts compared to other brands). Despite the rarity of these price cuts, this is still a solid $400 markdown that repeats the same savings from last month’s Memorial Day sale and is worth considering. Keep in mind, while the discount is not reflected in the price on any of the landing pages, the discount will be automatically applied at checkout.
More tailored for the shorter riders on its 4-foot 11-inch to 6-foot four-inch height range, the Higgs Step-Thru e-bike arrives stocked with a 52V battery (same as the company’s other models) alongside a 500W motor (peaking at 750W) that allow the e-bike to hit a max speed of 25 MPH for up to 30 miles using only the throttle and up to 50 miles when utilizing its five levels of pedal assistance. It also comes with a few convenient features to enhance your experience and its versatility: there’s 4-inch fat tires for better stability, 600-lumen headlight powered by “3 high-power LEDs” for rides at darker times, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, an integrated cargo rack with a 100-pound payload, and an upgraded high-resolution display for real-time data and setting adjustments.
Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Pro bundle returns to $1,899 low during 42% off member sale
Jackery has launched a member sale through June 30 that is continuing the company’s 42% off discounts from Father’s Day sales for those registered as members (with non-members still benefitting from minor discounts). Membership is free and easy – just head to the site and register your e-mail to gain access to these savings opportunities. One of the biggest chances to save amongst the offerings is on the Explorer 2000 Pro Portable Power Station with two 200W Solar Panels for $1,899 shipped ($2,599 for non-members). Recently fetching $3,299 over its original $3,599, this starts as a solid $700 off its usual price, doubled to a $1,400 markdown for members that is usually only seen during major sales events like Black Friday or Christmas – and even last year, we saw it sitting $100 higher during those sales, giving you a repeat chance from last month to grab this solar generator combo at the best rate we have seen.
Providing a 2,160Wh capacity and 2,200W of max power output, the Explorer 2000 Pro boasts the usual smart controls by syncing your smartphone, letting you monitor and adjust settings as you need while also giving you remaining power levels and helping you to manage power consumption. When hooked up to a maximum of six Jackery SolarSaga 200W solar panels, it can full recharge from 0 to 100% in less than three hours – or in just two hours via a wall outlet. With its eight ports, all your device’s charging needs and appliance’s power needs will be covered: three ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, and one car port. You can also find the Explorer 2000 Pro bundled with only one 100W solar panel at $1,599 shipped for members and $2,099 for non-members – or grab the power station alone for $1,099 shipped for members and $1,599 for non-members, down from $1,899.
Amazon is offering the Rachio Smart Hose Timer for $64.35 shipped. Down from its usual $70 price tag, we’ve seen it steadily decrease in price since the new year began, with semi-regular discounts bringing the price down further with each new iteration. Although this is only a $6 markdown, it still lands it at the all-time lowest price we have tracked. You’ll also find this model paired with the required Wi-Fi hub for $79 shipped, down from $100. With the smart hose timer and Wi-Fi hub working in tandem, you’ll gain complete smart controls over your water supply as it comes out of your spigot, accessed from your smartphone via the Rachio app. You can monitor your water’s flow rates (or be alerted when your hose isn’t running and it should be), set schedules – plus, the timer can use Wi-Fi to watch weather forecasts and skip scheduled watering after it has already rained or before it is expected to begin. You can also pair up to four of these timers with one Wi-Fi hub for maximum coverage. Head below for more.
If you want to take your smart controls to the ultimate level, consider pairing the above timer/Wi-Fi hub with the Rachio 3rd Gen: Smart 4-Zone Sprinkler Controller for $99, down from $150. It features exclusive weather recognition technology that is programmed to automatically skip unnecessary watering during and after inclement weather, with functions like rain skip, wind skip, freeze skip, and more. It comes ready to use out of the box, with no extra charges or app subscription fees, and you’ll be able to manage everything from the convenience of your phone through the easy-to-use app.
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.

The Tesla Semi, Tesla’s electric Class 8 semi-truck, saw its efficiency improve in a new real-world trucking test covering 4,494 miles over three weeks.
The Tesla Semi underwent significant changes over the years of delays.
Tesla officially unveiled the “production version” in 2022, but the vehicle never entered volume production. It is expected to finally happen at the end of the year at a new factory in Nevada.
Now, Tesla Semi appears to have improved quite a bit in a new real-world test by logistics company ArcBest.
The company claims to have put Tesla Semi through regular operations, varying from lane dispatch to regional runs over three weeks:
Over a three-week period, ABF operated a Tesla Semi across typical dispatch lanes, including over-the-road routes between service centers in Reno, Nevada and Sacramento, California. The pilot also included regional runs in the Bay Area and rail shuttle operations.
ArcBest claims that Tesla Semi averaged 1.55 kWh per mile during the three weeks:
The electric Semi logged 4,494 miles, averaging 321 miles per day with an overall energy efficiency of 1.55 kWh per mile.
Efficiency in the trucking business varies considerably based on several factors, including the load, but it is nonetheless an impressive performance.
Dennis Anderson, ArcBest chief innovation officer, commented on the test program:
“Freight transportation is a vital part of the global economy, and we know it also plays a significant role in overall greenhouse gas emissions. While the path to decarbonization presents complex challenges — such as infrastructure needs and alternative fuel development — it also opens the door to innovation. Vehicles like the Tesla Semi highlight the progress being made and expand the boundaries of what’s possible as we work toward a more sustainable future for freight.”
Tesla says that the truck should enter volume production toward the end of the year and customer deliveries are expected to start next year.
Range Rover now has its own logo for the first time. The luxury automaker is unveiling a sleek new look as it gears up to launch its first electric SUV later this year.
Range Rover introduces its first logo
Since it launched its first vehicle in 1970, the Range Rover badge has become an iconic status symbol. You can’t miss the classic Range Rover look.
With its first EV due out later this year, the luxury automaker is preparing for a new era. JLR revealed the new Range Rover logo, a first for the luxury automaker, during an investor presentation.
The new logo is a stark contrast to the “Range Rover” badge we are accustomed to seeing, featuring a minimalist design similar to the Rolls-Royce emblem.

JLR told Autocar that the new logo won’t replace the signature Range Rover badge at the front or rear. Instead, it will be used to complement it.
“The Range Rover Motif has been developed as a smaller symbol for where our familiar Range Rover device mark does not fit, such as on a label or as part of a repeating pattern, and within event spaces where an emblem is more appropriate,” the company said.
With Range Rover’s first electric SUV set to hit showrooms later this year, will we see it featured on the new EV? JLR confirmed in May that the Range Rover Electric now has over 61,000 clients on the waitlist.
The company claims the new EV is undergoing “the most intensive testing any Range Rover vehicle has ever endured” ahead of its big debut later this year.
According to Thomas Müller, Range Rover’s executive director of product engineering, the electric SUV is already outperforming some of its top gas-powered models.
JLR has already begun testing new EV production lines at its Solihull, UK, plant in preparation for the new Range Rover model. Next year, the luxury brand is expected to introduce the smaller Sport and Velar EV models.
