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. 

Hit up our our hands-on review for a closer look.

BYD’s low-cost Seagull EV now starts at under $8,000 in China

BYD's low-cost Seagull EV now starts at under ,000 in China

BYD-Seagull-EV-$8,000

BYD’s cheapest EV in China just got even more affordable. After cutting prices this month, the BYD Seagull EV starts at just 56,800 yuan, or under $8,000.

BYD cuts Seagull EV price to under $8,000 in April

Despite an intensifying EV price war in China, BYD is cutting prices once again. The Chinese EV giant announced a new promotion this month across several Ocean Series models, including the Seagull.

The 2025 BYD Seagull EV is available starting at just 56,800 yuan ($7,800). The offer is for the non-Smart Driving Vitality Edition model, which usually starts at 69,800 yuan ($9,500).

After launching the new Seagull last year, BYD said the low-cost electric car officially opened “a new era of electricity being lower than oil.” Earlier this year, it upgraded most of its vehicles, including the Seagull, with its new “God’s Eye” smart driving system at no extra charge.

BYD’s Seagull is offered in three trims in China: Vitality, Freedom, and Flying. It has two battery options, 30.1 kWh or 38.9 kWh, which is good for the 305 km (190 mi) and 405 km (252 mi) CLTC range, respectively.

At just 3,780 mm long, 1,715 mm wide, and 1,540 mm tall, the Seagull is even smaller than the former Chevy Bolt EV (4,145 mm long, 1,765 mm wide, and 1,611 mm tall). It’s about the size of a Fiat 500e.

The price cut comes as BYD’s sales continue surging. With another 377,420 new energy vehicles (EVs and PHEVs) sold last month, the Chinese automaker has now sold over one million NEVs in 2025.

BYD’s EVs accounted for 416,388 while PHEV sales reached 569,710, an increase of 39% and 76% from last year, respectively.

Vitality Normal: $9,500 (69,800 yuan)
Now: $8,000 (56,800 yuan)		 190 mi

Freedom $10,300 (75,800 yuan) 190 mi
(305 km)
Flying $11,700 (85,800 yuan) 252 mi
(405 km)

Perhaps even more importantly, BYD sold over 206,000 vehicles overseas in 2025, more than doubling from last year. The Seagull EV is also sold in other global markets like Mexico and Brazil as the Dolphin Mini.

Later this year, it will launch in Europe as the Dolphin Surf, with expected prices starting under £20,000 ($26,000). Although it may not be the cheapest EV, BYD’s executive vice president, Stella Li, recently told Autocar it will be “the best value” when it arrives.

Tesla already has new Model Y inventory available today in the US – demand is terrible

Tesla already has new Model Y inventory available today in the US – demand is terrible

Tesla new Model Y inventory us hero

Tesla has new Model Y inventory available today in the US, just days after opening orders for what is supposed to be its most popular model.

This proves that demand is terrible and Tesla is trying to hide it.

On Friday, Tesla launched the new non-Launch Edition Model Y in North America.

Prior to the launch, only a fully loaded $60,000 Launch Edition Model Y was available to order since January, and had been delivered since early March.

Now, North American buyers are able to buy a much cheaper version of the new Model Y for $49,000.

Only the Model Y Long Range AWD is available for now, but that’s Tesla’s most popular model in North America.

At the time, we noted that this is a great demand test for Tesla in the US amid some critical brand issues due to CEO Elon Musk.

We only have a few metrics to track the demand of the new Model Y in the US:

  • Delivery timelines on new orders
  • Available inventory
  • Discounts/incentives

For most US zip codes tested by Electrek with different Model Y configurations (wheels and paint colors), Tesla quotes delivery within “1-3 weeks”.

But we also found several zip codes on both the West Coast and the East Coast where Tesla claims it can deliver the new vehicle “today”:

This would point to Tesla already having vehicles in inventory despite launching it just 4 days ago.

But Tesla is hiding the inventory.

If you search for Model Y in Tesla’s new inventory, you can’t find any in the US at the time of writing:

However, Tesla is showing some units in inventory to people configuring new Model Ys.

Some potential buyers are reporting that Tesla has a tab that pops up and directs them to some new inventory available (via TroyTeslike on Patreon):

This confirms that Tesla already has new non-Launch Edition Model Y in inventory available for sale in the US – pointing to Tesla having no backlog of demand for the new vehicle.

Electrek’s Take

This is much worse than I thought. I thought that Tesla would build a backlog of demand for the new Model Y in the US from people who didn’t want the fully loaded version, but it looks like that backlog lasted 4 days.

Of course, it’s all because of Tesla and Elon, and brand destruction.

Many people who invested in the stock market lost a lot of money over the last few weeks, and these people often happen to be people who buy new cars.

Now, the only thing left is for Tesla to start offering discounts and subsidies financing – the latter likely coming first, as it is already the case with new Model 3 orders in the US.

The good news for Tesla is that if Trump continues to crash the stock market, the Fed will likely have to reduce rates, making Tesla’s 0% financing cheaper to subsidize.

That’s a fun balancing act.

Either way, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tesla offer incentives on the new Model Y in the US within the next 2 weeks – way ahead of schedule.

Kia’s new EV9 and EV6 qualify for the $7,500 EV tax credit — except this one trim

Kia's new EV9 and EV6 qualify for the ,500 EV tax credit — except this one trim

Kia-EV6-EV9-tax-credit

The new and improved 2026 Kia EV9 and 2025 EV6 are eligible for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, but one trim is excluded.

Do the Kia EV6 and EV9 qualify for the federal tax credit?

Kia’s first dedicated electric vehicle, the EV6, received some pretty major upgrades for its mid-cycle update this year.

The 2025 EV6 features a bigger battery providing more range (now up to 319 miles), a stylish interior and exterior redesign, and an NACS port for charging at Tesla Superchargers.

Kia’s first three-row electric SUV, the EV9, also has a native NACS charging port and will be the first model year to offer a high-performance GT trim.

We got a good look at the EV9 GT at the LA Auto Show last year (check it out here). The sporty electric SUV boasts 501 hp, which is quite a bit more than the current GT-Line’s 379 hp. The added power is enough for the big-body SUV to move from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds.

Kia-2026-EV9-GT-interior
Kia-EV9-EV6-tax-credit

Although Kia America’s vice president of sales, Eric Watson, confirmed the EV6 and EV9 are now in “full-scale production” at its plant in West Point, Georgia, not all trims will qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit.

According to CarsDirect, Kia told dealers that the 2025 EV6 and 2026 EV9 GT trims wouldn’t be eligible for the credit. A spokesperson said the exclusion is because Kia builds the EV6 GT and EV9 GT in South Korea, while all other trims are assembled in Georgia.

Kia's-new-EV6-GT-US
Kia-new-EV6-GT-interior

If Trump’s 25% tariff on South Korea is still in effect when the GT models launch in the US, it could create a significant price gap between trims.

Despite this, you will likely still be able to take advantage of the credit through leasing. Kia, like many, is passing the $7,500 on through lease cash, which can significantly cut monthly payments.

Kia will reveal more info, including prices, closer to launch. Check back soon. We’ll keep you updated with the latest.

With the new models arriving soon, Kia is offering clearance pricing on outgoing models. Monthly leases start as low as $179. You can use our links below to find deals on the Kia EV6 and EV9 near you.
