Save up to $803 on Blix e-bike bundles starting from $1,499 during 4th of July sales

Blix Bikes has launched its 4th of July sale that is taking up to $500 off its e-bike lineup while also giving you up to $303 in free add-on accessories. One of the notable standouts during this sale, is the Sol Eclipse Cruiser e-bike for $1,499 shipped. Normally fetching $1,899, we usually see this model cut down to $1,699 or more regularly $1,599 during most sales events. In the last year alone, we have only tracked it dropping to $1,499 during April’s spring sale, when it even beat out its Black Friday and Christmas sale rates by $100. Today’s deal is a surprise repeat of April’s savings, giving you a solid $400 markdown on top of three handy accessories – fenders for both tires, a rear-mountable cargo rack, and a front basket, all valued at $207 – for a grand total of $607 in savings. Blix also offers an extra $200 off any purchase of any two e-bikes by using the promo code RIDETOGETHER at checkout.

Blix’s Sol Eclipse Cruiser e-bike arrives sporting a slim and colorful beach cruiser design, with a 750W rear hub motor supported by the 614Wh capacity battery that both allow it to hit top speeds of 20 MPH for up to 45 miles on a single charge. It has five levels of pedal assistance watched over by the 12-magnet cadence sensor, as well as a throttle for pure electric action. Other features include a LED headlight, 27.5-inch by 2.4-inch puncture-resistant tires, mechanical disc brakes, a Shimano 7-speed derailleur, and an LCD display for real-time performance data and setting adjustments that also has a USB port to charge your devices as you ride. Plus, don’t forget the fenders, cargo rack, and front basket that quickly and easily attach to its modular design elements for a more enhanced ride.

Samsung Bespoke all-in-one smart electric washer and ventless dryer within post for Blix 4th of July sale

Samsung’s Bespoke all-in-one smart electric washer and ventless dryer at new lows starting from $1,600

Best Buy is offering the Samsung Bespoke AI All-in-One 5.3 cubic-foot Ultra Capacity Washer and Ventless Heat Pump Dryer for $1,999.99 shipped, with an included $150 Best Buy gift card along with your purchase. Down from its $2,800 list price, with an even greater $3,339 MSRP direct from Samsung, this is one of the best deals we’ve seen for this eco-friendly washer/dryer combo, currently beaten by a parallel deal for Costco members only that is offering the unit at $1,600. Anyone can benefit from the Best Buy deal though, which ultimately costs you $1,850 thanks to the gift card’s extra $150 in savings that you can use on future purchases. You’ll also find this unit available direct from Samsung at $1,999, with extra savings offers available. These are the three best rates that we have tracked, all of which beat our previous mention from May by at least $199 (technically $349 with the gift card).

This ENERGY STAR certified combination washer/dryer unit arrives sporting a sleek look and AI-supported functionality that makes laundry routines far less of a hassle than standard models. Alongside the smart controls you’ll get via the companion app, this appliance features AI OptiWash and AI Optimal Dry, which can not only detect the fabric types and their soil levels 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.

It also boasts a large detergent tank that can hold and dispense up to 47 loads of detergent, or, by using the Flex One compartment, you can dispense 25 loads of detergent alongside 34 loads of softener. Regardless which way you choose, you won’t have to worry about refilling it before every new load – just throw in your clothes and go! One of its standout features that makes this an amazing upgrade to your home, is its ventless design that not only lets you install it anywhere that fits your convenience (and not just your home’s pre-determined layout), but its dual inverter heat pump technology makes it far more energy efficient than most other models, plus – working with its AI, the system can predict electricity costs and “reduce energy usage by up to 19%.”

Hiboy is celebrating its five year anniversary through June 30 by taking up to 50% off EVs and bundles, while also offering drawings to win free accessories and electric scooters (which we will discuss below). A notable standout is the company’s MAX Pro Electric Scooter for $659.99 shipped. Usually going for $1,000, since the new year began we’ve been seeing semi-regular discounts on this model during most sales events, often cutting costs down around $750, with occasional drops further to $700. Today’s deal comes in as a surprise 34% markdown that is taking savings further than ever before and landing it at the lowest price we have tracked.

The Hiboy MAX Pro Electric Scooter arrives equipped with a 650W motor alongside a 48V battery that will carry you up to max speeds of 22 MPH for up to 46.6 miles on a single charge. It has three riding modes to choose from (sport, drive, eco), with additional settings for customizable cruise controls as well, which is nice on those longer commutes with plenty of straightaways and open road. It also comes jam-packed with features like 11-inch pneumatic tires, both e-brakes and disc brakes, an LED headlight, sidelights, and a taillight, dual suspension, smart controls via the Hiboy app – including lock controls for security, a one-click folding design, and an integrated digital display for real-time data and setting adjustments.

400 kW DC fast charging On The Run arrives in Canada – and it’s FREE!

400 kW DC fast charging On The Run arrives in Canada – and it's FREE!

British Columbia got its first 400 kW DC fast charger last week at Canadian C-store chain On The Run, but that’s not the good part. As part of a limited time offer, these chargers are FREE!

The Canadian convenience store chain just took the wraps off its new, ABB-developed, 400 kW chargers earlier this month, but they’re already planning to bring the ultra-fast 400 kW dispensers to at least four more locations in BC this spring, and have them online just in time for the summer road trip season – something On The Run hopes its customers will appreciate.

“The A400 charger delivers an enhanced customer experience, with reliability and performance from a 32-inch screen to higher power charging sessions and power sharing,” reads the company’s official announcement, via LinkedIn. “Download the Journie Rewards app to start the charge – free for a limited time.”

On The Run’s new 400 kW ABB DC fast chargers are compatible with CCS and CHAdeMO plugs, and can accommodate Tesla and other NACS-equipped vehicles with an adapter. That said, the company seems to imply that Tesla drivers in particular will have a maximum charging speed of “just” 50 kW, which feel hilarious (given the current state of affairs between Tesla and the Canadian government), but probably isn’t.

In addition to the ABB A400 400 kW units shown here, On The Run locations also employ the ABB Terra 184 dispensers rated at 180 kW. On The Run plans similar deployments at the four BC locations mentioned above, as well as two more each in Quebec and Ontario slated to go live towards the end of this year.

Electrek’s Take

Tesla’s controversial CEO Elon Musk once mocked 350 kW charging speed as being “for a child’s toy,” despite the fact that, nearly nine years later, his own cars and Superchargers can barely make it to 325 kW while others have sailed right on past. I made fun of that fact on the Quick Charge episode shown, above – and, while I do think it’s funny and relevant, the much more relevant piece of news here is that companies like BP Pulse, Revel, and Wallbox are actively deploying 400 kW solutions, today (while others hit the same mark as far back as 2017).

It’s just a fact: Tesla has fallen way behind.

“This launch underscores growing collaboration between enterprises, shippers, carriers, and charging infrastructure providers to advance sustainable technologies across logistics and transportation operations, especially in the medium and heavy-duty sectors,” said Neha Palmer, CEO and cofounder of Terawatt. Palmer added that the company will bring another charging site online in Rialto, California, in June.

Terawatt joined some of the world’s largest shippers and carriers in September 2024 to launch the I-10 Consortium heavy-duty EV operations pilot, the “first-ever US over-the-road electrified corridor.” Terawatt is providing charging infrastructure, including software, operations, and maintenance support at six of its owned charging hubs along the I-10 corridor.

Trump admin halts $5 billion NY offshore wind project mid-build

Trump admin halts billion NY offshore wind project mid-build

In its most aggressive attack against offshore wind yet, the Trump administration halted the $5 billion Empire Wind 1, already under construction off New York’s coast.

Norwegian developer Equinor announced yesterday that it received notice from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) ordering Empire Wind 1 to halt all activities on the outer continental shelf until BOEM has completed its review. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum posted this tweet yesterday:

Burgum gave no indication of what insufficiencies there were in the approval process for the fully permitted offshore wind project, despite Trump’s recent declaration of a national energy emergency that speeds up permitting processes.

The commercial lease for the 810-megawatt (MW) Empire Wind 1’s federal offshore wind area was signed in March 2017 during the first Trump administration. It was approved by the Biden administration in November 2023 and began construction in 2024.

The project is being developed under contract with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Empire Wind 1, which was due to come online in 2027, has the potential to power 500,000 New York homes.

“Halting construction of fully permitted energy projects is the literal opposite of an energy abundance agenda,” said American Clean Power Association CEO Jason Grumet in a statement. “We encourage the administration to quickly address perceived inadequacies in the prior permit approvals so that this project can complete construction and bring much-needed power to the grid.”

As Electrek reported, Equinor secured $3 billion to finance Empire Wind 1 in January. The total amount drawn under the project finance term loan facility as of March 31 was around $1.5 billion. 

As of March 31, Empire Wind has a gross book value of around $2.5 billion, including South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (pictured above), which was expected to become the US’s largest dedicated port facility for offshore wind.

In response to BOEM’s stop work order, New York Governor Kathy Hochul issued the following statement:

Every single day, I’m working to make energy more affordable, reliable and abundant in New York and the federal government should be supporting those efforts rather than undermining them. Empire Wind 1 is already employing hundreds of New Yorkers, including 1,000 good-paying union jobs as part of a growing sector that has already spurred significant economic development and private investment throughout the state and beyond.

As Governor, I will not allow this federal overreach to stand. I will fight this every step of the way to protect union jobs, affordable energy and New York’s economic future.

Equinor says it’s considering appealing BOEM’s order.
