Alongside yesterday’s ongoing offer on the MOD Black 3 mountain e-bike, today we are featuring an opportunity to score one of 2024’s most impressive e-bike releases, the Lectric ONE, with $255 in FREE add-on gear. That deal joins a price drop on an entry-level riding solution at $476 for folks just breaking into the space, as well as notable offers on the BLUETTI AC300 Power Station with B300K Expansion Battery at $1,100 off and a complete Greenworks Mower, Blower, and String Trimmer Combo. All of that and more await down below in today’s Green Deals.

Head below for more 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.

Score $255 in FREE gear with Lectric’s impressive 2024 long-range ONE e-bike

Sitting alongside its still live Labor Day offers which include hundreds in free add-on gear, we are pulling out the offer on the impressive 2024 Lectric ONE e-bike today. The brand is offering it for $2,199 shipped with $255 in FREE add-on gear to deliver one of the best offers we have tracked outside of the launch deal months ago, coming within $14 in terms of value of the back to school offer. You’re looking at a total value of $2,454 here with extras we will detail below. 

To put it lightly, we came away very impressed after taking a good look at launch back in March on this model. Despite the sticker north of $2,000, this is a more than value-packed price for an e-bike this premium. 

This long-range e-bike takes things up a notch with high-grade European transmissions and carbon fiber-reinforced drive belts, including an auto-shifting weather-sealed electricgearbox from Pinion.

It runs on a 750W rear hub-motor with a 48V battery that will have you cruising for 50 miles at up to 28MPH, and that’s just with the standard battery. There’s 5 levels of PWR pedal assistance, a thumb throttle, 20-inch city tires, hydraulic mineral oil disc brakes, and a new color LCD display.

Today’s package bundle deal nets you $255 worth of add-ons including an aluminum rear rack, a set of wheel fenders, and a 1.5-liter Top Tube Bag to stow smaller EDC items with a dedicated smartphone compartment. 

Amazon slashes $1,250 off BLUETTI’s 2.7kWh AC300 power station with B300K battery, now $1,749 (New low)

The official BLUETTI storefront over at Amazon is now offering its AC300 Power Station with B300K Expansion Battery for $1,749.05 shipped once you clip both on-page $1,100 off and 5% off coupons. Typically sold for $2,999, you’re looking at a substantial $1,250 price drop that delivers nearly 42% off this powerful, home energy backup solution. Until now, the best price we have tracked was $1,999, so you’re looking at a new all-time low that’s $250 less than the best offer that preceeded it. Find out more details about this kit down below.

Say goodbye to power outages with this energy backup solution from BLUETTI. Altogether, you’re looking at a more than 2.7kWh system that can be further expanded up to 11kWh when you add three more B300K battery packs down the road. The AC300 wields a total of 16 ports that range from AC to USB-A, 100W Type-C, a DC car port, and more. It features a 3,000-watt capacity which can be doubled to 6,000 watts when you pair two of these systems together. It doesn’t matter if you want to give your home backup power, power your RV while on the go, or start an off-grid adventure, this powerful system is ready and waiting.

Kick gas to the curb with Greenworks’ cordless mower, blower, and trimmer combo at $373 (Reg. $500)

Drop by Amazon and you’ll find this Greenworks Mower, Blower, and String Trimmer Combo for $372.70 shipped. You’d usually need to set aside $500, so today’s deal delivers over $127 in savings. Quick math tells us that this works out more than 25% off a bundle that was already a solid value. While we have seen this combo fall to a slightly lower $352 price tag in the past, you’re looking at less than $21 of a difference. Outside of that, today’s offer is the next-best price we’ve tracked. Learn more about this tool combo down below.

If you’re looking to kick gas to the curb in favor of clean, hassle-free battery-powered yard tools, this is your chance. I use similar tools each week to tidy up my own yard and have been using them for years. Recharging the batteries costs pennies, which is quite a bit lower than it would be to power everything with gas. This deal includes a 48V 17-inch mower, 24V blower, 24V string trimmer, two 5aH batteries, and a charger. Greenworks backs these tools with a 3-year warranty, as well.

GoTrax entry-level S3 e-bike has you cruising for up to 25 miles down at $476 today

We feature a ton of higher-end and wonderful e-bike deals around, like this $500 price drop on the MOD Black 3 and the ongoing Lectric Labor Day deals, just to name a few. But if you’re looking for a super casual solution that won’t reach nearly as deep into your pocket, Amazon is now offering the Gotrax S3 Fat Tire e-bike down at $476.10 shipped. This model is a relatively new release on Amazon that carries a regular price tag at $529 shipped. While this isn’t a massive price drop, we are talking about an already affordable e-bike and a match for the lowest we have seen the white variant hit on Amazon. 

Again, this isn’t some high-end premium solution, but for casually cruising around town or just as a first-timer entry-level option, the price is certainly right. 

The Gotrax S3 features a 750W peak motor that can hit speeds up to 20MPH. A single 5-hour charge can reach up to 25 miles with assist mode on while the pure electric mode can travel for 15.5 miles on the 6- by 3.0-inch wide tires. 

This affordable e-bike also lands in your setup with a more portable and adjustable design than some, featuring a foldable frame “for easy storage in the car trunk or at home” alongside an adjustable seat “to meet the needs of riders of all ages.” The whole thing comes 90% assembled, according to the brand, and weighs in at 43 pounds.  

Head below for even more Green Deals we are still tracking:

MOD Black 3, the baddest-looking mountain e-bike now $500 off with FREE $599 SUP ($1,099 in savings)

We feature a ton of amazing e-bike and EV deals around here, but one of my favorite, at least in terms of looks, is seeing a major price drop with some bonus goodies right now. You can now land the MOD Black 3 down at $2,999 shipped and score a FREE $599 MOD Board Inflatable SUP. Simply add both to your cart to redeem the discount. With recent price hikes this bike now carries a regular price tag at $3,499, which means you’re saving $500 and scoring a free $599 SUP for a total of $1,099 in savings…nice. 

Aside from delivering one of the baddest-looking mountain e-bikes on the market, in my opinion, there’s some notable specs to power you through your adventures here too. 
It comes with a 750W rear brushless geared hub motor (1,000W peak) alongside a 720Wh MOD Samsung Powerpack battery – this allows you to cruise for up to 50 miles at max speeds of 28 MPH. Other highlights of the build here include the five levels of pedal assistance, 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, thumb throttle, and hydraulic disc brakes alongside the rear cargo rack.

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV has a juicy (unadvertised) discount

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV has a juicy (unadvertised) discount

Dodge is rolling out a hefty discount on the 2025 Charger Daytona EV even though it hasn’t officially hit the market yet. According to a dealer bulletin, the 2025 Daytona EV qualifies for a juicy $3,000 discount, but you won’t see it advertised anywhere. Here’s how you could snag this deal and save big.

On December 13, Stellantis introduced the BEV Dealer Cash Coupon Program, an incentive program designed to sweeten the deal on electric Dodge models. Under this program, dealers get a $1,000 cash coupon for the Charger Daytona – and here’s the kicker – they can stack up to three of these coupons for a total of $3,000 in savings. Unlike traditional rebates that go directly to the buyer, dealers have the option to keep the incentive as extra profit.

The program covers both the 2024 and 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EVs for purchases and leases. But there’s more: if you’re leasing, you can stack that $3,000 dealer cash with a $7,500 lease incentive tied to a commercial tax credit (unavailable when buying). Add it all up, and you could score a whopping $10,500 in savings. This deal is slated to end on April 30, 2025, so there’s time to plan your move.

For some context, the 2024 Dodge Charger EV starts at $61,590, including destination fees. With $10,500 in potential savings, that’s an impressive 17% discount off MSRP—and that’s before you factor in any additional dealer discounts. Interestingly, Dodge has a higher-than-usual difference between invoice and MSRP pricing on the Daytona, meaning there’s room for negotiation if you’re savvy.

Of course, there are a few things to watch out for. Dealer participation varies, so your results may depend on where you shop. Plus, Dodge hasn’t released pricing for the 2025 Charger Daytona yet, so there’s some guesswork involved. Still, if you’re hunting for a bargain, the 2024 Charger EV stands out as one of the best financing deals right now, offering 0% interest for up to 72 months.

Is Toyota finally ditching the bZ4X name with new electric SUVs en route?

Is Toyota finally ditching the bZ4X name with new electric SUVs en route?

Toyota-bZ4X-name

Toyota’s electric SUV may soon get a fresh start. After a rocky debut, the Toyota bZ4X is reportedly due for a rebrand, with a new name coming as soon as 2026.

Is Toyota giving the bZ4X a new name?

After launching the bZ4X in 2022, Toyota’s first electric SUV had a bumpy market debut. In June 2022, all bZ4X models were recalled over concerns that the wheels could fall off.

Since then, Toyota has struggled to gain traction. Through the first nine months of 2024, Toyota sold 13,577 bZ4X models in the US. Although that’s double the roughly 6,500 sold through Q3 2023, it’s still less than 1% of its over 1.7 total vehicles sold through September.

As Toyota looks to turn things around, the bZ4X is due for a complete rebrand. Speaking at a recent auto press event in Quebec, a regional director for Toyota Canada said the company is preparing to change the bZ4X name.

According to Motor Illustrated, Patrick Ryan, Toyota’s regional director for Quebec and Atlantic Canada, said the name change will occur over the next year.

Toyota just revealed the 2025 bZ4X last week, so it will likely be for the 2026 model year. Prices for the 2025 Toyota bZ4X start at $37,070 in the US, or $6,000 less than the outgoing model. The FWD model has an EPA-estimated range of up to 252 miles, while the AWD trim has a range of up to 222 miles.

Toyota promotes its bZ branding as “beyond Zero” in reference to EVs cutting emissions. Meanwhile, the “4” determines its format (think RAV4), and the X tells us it’s a crossover.

In the US, all Toyota vehicles are badged with an actual name other than the RAV4 and bZ4X. A new name may make sense since bZ4X is a bit of a tongue twister and had a less-than-favorable reception.

After unveiling its new Urban Cruiser electric SUV earlier this month, will Toyota follow a similar route with the bZ4X? Although its first three-row electric SUV is now delayed until 2026, we could see a completely different naming system rollout.
