Yesterday was a day of EVs (check our summer e-bike deals list below before the sales end), while today’s Green Deals are here to cover power station units across three major brands – and you won’t want to skip out on these discounts. First, we have Bluetti’s 3-part Prime Day sale that will not only be running through July while taking up to 43% off the company’s offerings, but also includes ramping deals, extra savings opportunities, gifts, and a giveaway with some truly amazing prizes! Next, there’s the latest release from EcoFlow, the new DELTA Pro 3 Portable Power Station that is launching with a $500 discount to $3,199, along with a handful of bundle savings options too. Then, to close out the week, Goal Zero’s Yeti 500 Portable Power Station has just fallen to a new $360 low. 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.

Bluetti’s 3-part Prime Day sale takes up to 43% off power stations, expansion batteries, and bundles through July

Bluetti has launched its Prime Day sale through July 31 that will be taking up to 43% off the company’s power stations and bundle combos in three stages – with plenty of extra savings opportunities being thrown in. From now through July 15 you’ll be able to save on the Bluetti units below, with July 16 dropping additional offers alongside Amazon’s Prime Day deals, before the “last call” period lays out the last of the prospective discounts between July 17 and 31. One of the notable standouts today is the AC180 Portable Power Station for $579 shipped, after using the on-page promo code AC180420 at checkout for $420 off. Down from its usual $999 price tag, we only recently saw the price drop this low, with the first and only previous occurrence being from 2 weeks over at Amazon, where it currently matches in price. Today, this deal comes back to repeat the 42% markdown and return costs to the all-time lowest that we have seen.

The AC180 LiFePO4 power station gives you peace of mind that wherever you may be or may be headed, your charging and power needs are met with a 1,152Wh capacity and 11 versatile output ports – four ACs, four USB-As, one USB-C, one DC, and one wireless charging pad for personal devices. In just 45 minutes you can have it recharged up to 80% battery via a standard wall outlet, or hook up a 500W solar input for solar charging that takes 2.8 to 3.3 hours instead. You’ll have all the usual smart controls to monitor and adjust settings through the BLUETTI app on your tablet or smartphone. Head below for more.

And as we said before there are plenty of extra savings opportunities that Bluetti has thrown in during this Prime Day sale to take advantage of. Depending on how much money you spend on your total order, you can also shave off a little extra money from the cost – orders over $1,500 get an additional $150 off, orders over $2,000 get an additional $200 off, and orders over $3,000 get an additional $300 off – with all three vouchers found at the top of the main sale’s page.

You can learn more about the contest and its many prizes here. And lastly, when you reach certain price thresholds in your cart, the company will also gift you with Bluetti-brand lifestyle items; pins/stickers, canvas bag, cups, and outdoor tableware sets.

EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 portable power station within post for Bluetti Prime Day sale

EcoFlow launches new DELTA Pro 3 Portable Power Station with $500 off discount and bundle savings options

EcoFlow has launched its latest addition to its lineup of home and portable energy storage devices, the DELTA Pro 3 Portable Power Station for $3,199 shipped through July 23, after using the on-page $500 off discount. Launching with a $3,699 MSRP, this is the very first chance to save on this all-new device that comes in with a generous $500 markdown on the standalone model, with bundle savings available as well. This discount also marks the first recorded low pricing point for the forseeable future, with no telling how long it’ll take to see another discount after this deal ends next month. You can learn more about this device below, or by reading through our initial launch coverage.

The new DELTA Pro 3 arrives with a massive 4,096Wh capacity that can be expanded up to 48,000Wh with additional equipment, as well as a 4,000W power output. The power output can also be expanded up to 12,000W when you connect three of these power stations together. The unit can be fully recharged in a variety of more ways than previous units – seven solo-source charging options and 18 combination charging options to be precise – with a standard wall outlet getting it back to 80% battery in just 50 minutes, along with other options at differing speeds via solar (2,600W input max), EV, automotive cigarette outlets, dual PV charging, and more.

It has the same smart control functionality as other models, accessed through the EcoFlow app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, as well as 14 output ports to cover your various devices needs: seven ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, and three DCs. This is the first of EcoFlow’s units to include the company’s X-Core 3.0, an integrated architecture system that is designed to offer far superior host safety, performance, and intelligence improvements – pulled from commercial-grade and EV technologies and placed inside a power station for the first time. It also boasts increased surge power for more demanding appliances, the fastest charging capabilities, quieter and cooler operations, improved battery management, longer battery lifespans, explosion-proof battery packs, more advanced parallel capacity expansion, and smart home energy management.

There are also a few bundle options to consider here, especially for those of you looking to go all out and incorporate all the bells and whistles needed for full home backup solutions. First, you can waylay the $500 discount to instead receive a free 400W solar panel along with the power station for $3,699, which is valued together at $4,898. You can bundle the power station alongside a DELTA Pro 3 Extra Battery to achieve a doubled capacity for $5,498, down from $6,298. For outdoor enthusiasts on the move, you can grab the power station with a 800W Alternator Charger and a Smart Generator Adapter for $3,799, instead of its usual $4,298. And then there is the home backup option that has the power station and EcoFlow’s Smart Home Panel 2 for $4,798, down from $5,598 – which bumps up to a discounted $7,098 if you need it installed for you.

Goal Zero Yeti 500 Portable Power Station falls 28% to new $360 low

Courtesy of Goal Zero’s Amazon storefront, you can now get the company’s Yeti 500 Portable Power Station for $359.96 shipped, after clipping the on-page 20% off coupon. Normally fetching $500 since its release in January, we’ve only seen two previous discounts in the last six months, first to $400 in April, then to the former $375 low during Memorial Day sales. Today it returns at an even lower rate, coming in as a combined 28% markdown that beats our previous mention by $15 and carving out a new all-time low.

The Yeti 500 power station is a 6th generation model that was designed to bring better support to folks during casual explorations like on camping trips, at tailgate parties, for road trips, and more. It provides a 499Wh capacity with 500W of power output (1,000W surge), and can be hooked up to a solar panel with a max input of 200W – giving you a full charge in around 3 hours – or you can utilize its fast-charging capabilities via a wall outlet and recharge it in just 90 minutes. Your small appliance and device charging needs will be covered by the two AC ports, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, plus the bonus car port.

Genesis GV90 spotted in the US, offering a sneak peek at its ultra-luxe interior

Genesis GV90 spotted in the US, offering a sneak peek at its ultra-luxe interior

Genesis-GV90-interior

The GV90 is set to raise the bar as the most luxurious Genesis SUV. If you thought the GV80 was impressive, wait until you see this larger, three-row electric flagship. After it was recently spotted in the US, we are getting our first glimpse of the ultra-luxe Genesis GV90’s interior.

First look at the Genesis GV90 interior in the US

Genesis previewed the flagship SUV at the NY Auto Show last March with the Neolun concept, which the brand refers to as its “ultra-luxe vision of luxury SUVs.”

It’s not only stunning on the outside, but the full-size SUV will introduce advanced new tech and upscale design features for “a whole new level of luxury.”

Drawing inspiration from Korean aesthetics, the interior is fit for royalty. The concept featured a “Royal Indigo” cashmere and a vintage-like “Purple Silk” leather. Genesis topped it off with dark-colored wood accents for an even more luxurious feel.

After it was spotted in public in California, it looks like the interior of the Genesis GV90 will retain some elements from the concept.

The new photos, courtesy of The Korean Car Blog, offer a sneak peek at what we can expect when it arrives in production form.

You’ll notice that the color scheme remains largely the same, with purple accents on the door trim, seats, and other interior elements.

The GV90 will serve as the luxury brand’s tech beacon, featuring Hyundai Motor’s latest technology and software. A 24″ infotainment system will sit at the center with navigation and voice command recognition.

It will also feature a 3D audio experience with tweeters, midrange speakers, woofers, and subwoofers strategically placed, creating an immersive audio experience. The iconic Crystal Sphere is not only a centerpiece, but it will also serve as a hi-fi tweeter speaker.

According to Luc Donckerwolke, Genesis’ chief creative officer, the concept is “the epitome of timeless design and sophisticated craftsmanship.” Do you agree?

With GV90 models now in public testing, Genesis appears to be on track to launch the flagship SUV in mid-2026. Earlier this month, we got a closer look at the exterior after it was caught testing at the Nürburgring with less camo.

More details, including prices and final specs, will be revealed closer to launch. However, it is expected to ride on Hyundai’s new eM platform, which will replace its current E-GMP.

SEC drops Binance lawsuit, ending one of last remaining crypto enforcement actions

SEC drops Binance lawsuit, ending one of last remaining crypto enforcement actions

The SEC has formally dropped its lawsuit against Binance and founder Changpeng Zhao, bringing an end to one of the last remaining crypto enforcement actions brought by the agency.

In a Thursday filing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, lawyers for the SEC and Binance jointly moved to dismiss the case, which was first brought in June 2023.

The original complaint accused the crypto exchange of violations including illegally serving U.S. users, inflating trading volumes, and commingling customer funds. The agency also claimed that Binance unlawfully enabled trading in crypto assets it viewed as unregistered securities, an argument that was also used against Coinbase, Kraken, and others under prior SEC leadership.

The dismissal marks a symbolic end to one of the most aggressive crypto crackdowns in U.S. history, and comes as the Trump administration makes a concerted effort to prove that it’s an ally to the industry. The Justice Department has already shut down its crypto enforcement team, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is now set to be led by a venture capitalist with close ties to crypto.

Binance is the largest digital assets exchange in the world by volume. It recently forged ties with World Liberty Financial, a project that aspires to be a crypto bank and funnels 75% of profits to entities linked to the Trump family. Binance is taking a $2 billion investment from the Emirati state fund MGX entirely in USD1, a stablecoin newly launched by the World Liberty team.

Binance and World Liberty are also deepening their footprint in Pakistan, where WLF co-founder Zack Witkoff, the son of U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, recently struck a deal with the government. Around the same time, Zhao was appointed as an adviser to Pakistan’s newly formed Crypto Council, a state-backed body tasked with shaping national digital asset policy.

Binance CEO Richard Teng discusses U.S. crypto adoption at the Digital Asset Summit

The SEC was the last major regulator still pursuing Binance after a $4.3 billion settlement with the U.S. government last year that saw Zhao plead guilty and step down as CEO, while avoiding jail time and retaining much of his wealth.

The agency’s motion to dismiss was granted with prejudice, meaning the SEC can’t refile the same claims.

Under the SEC’s new leadership, the agency has shifted away from enforcement and toward engagement and regulatory rollback. It’s held a series of roundtables led by Commissioner Hester Peirce and newly appointed Chair Paul Atkins.

The SEC has also begun dismantling key rules that once kept Wall Street on the sidelines. In January, it scrapped Staff Accounting Bulletin 121 — a controversial directive issued under former Chair Gary Gensler that forced banks to count crypto holdings as liabilities on their balance sheets. Peirce celebrated the reversal on X, posting, “Bye, bye SAB 121! It’s not been fun.”

In February, the agency followed up with new guidance indicating that it doesn’t view most meme coins as securities under federal law, providing a boon to the Trump family.

President Trump and several of his family members are closely tied to crypto ventures, including the $TRUMP token, which launched just before his January inauguration. The coin currently boasts a market cap of about $2.4 billion, with its website claiming that 80% of the supply is held by the Trump Organization and affiliated entities.

GM takes over as the ‘#1 EV seller’ in Canada

GM takes over as the '#1 EV seller' in Canada

GM-#1-seller-EVs-Canada

After its electric vehicle sales more than doubled in the first quarter, GM claims it’s now the “#1 EV seller” in Canada. With a full lineup of 13 all-electric vehicles, GM sold more EVs than Tesla in Canada.

GM tops Tesla to become the #1 EV seller in Canada in Q1

GM’s electric vehicle sales in Canada surged by 252% in the first three months of 2025, with new Chevy and Cadillac models driving growth.

The Chevy Equinox EV led the way with 1,892 units sold, followed by the Silverado EV with 894 units. Cadillac’s new entry-level OPTIQ had a strong showing, with 615 models sold, nearly matching the 720 units sold of its first EV, the LYRIQ.

Even the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and SUV saw more demand, with sales up 232% (186) and 88% (252), respectively.

Combined, the automaker sold a total of 5,750 EVs in Q1. According to GM, this was enough to top Tesla to become “the #1 EV seller in Canada.”

GM Canada recently posted on social media, saying, “We claimed the top spot as Canada’s #1 EV seller!” The news comes as registration data show that Tesla registered just 524 vehicles in Quebec in Q1, down 87% from the same period last year.

The steep decline in sales comes after the Quebec government paused federal EV incentives from February to April 1st. Canada also paused its iZEV rebate program in January, which offered up to $5,000 on the purchase or lease of an EV. Like the US federal EV Tax credit, it was designed to be used at the point of sale to help lower prices.

GM also registered significantly fewer Equinox and Blazer EVs in Quebec during the quarter. Despite higher year-over-year (YOY) sales, GM’s electric vehicle (EV) sales were down considerably from the over 15,000 in Q4 2024.

The American automaker will continue to expand its lineup with the launch of the new Cadillac Escalade IQL, Lyriq-V, and Visiq.

By the end of the year, we also expect to get our first look at the next-gen Chevy Bolt EV with deliveries starting in 2026.

Electrek’s Take

GM is building momentum with new models rolling out, which now cover nearly every segment. In the US, GM surpassed Ford and Hyundai Motor, including Kia, to become the second-largest seller of EVs last year.

Chevy is now the fastest-growing EV brand in the US. The new electric Equinox, or “America’s most affordable 315+ miles range EV,” as GM calls it, is quickly becoming a top seller. The Blazer and Silverado EVs are also gaining traction.

Cadillac reported its best first quarter since 2008, with retail sales increasing by 21%. After delivering the first models in Q1, the entry-level OPTIQ is off to an impressive start with 1,716 units sold.

GM will top off its US electric vehicle lineup with the next-gen 2026 Chevy Bolt EV due out later this year or in early 2026.
