Rare discount hits EVOLV Terra Electric Scooter with full-suspension at new $1,079 low

EVOLV has an ongoing September Sale through the end of the month that is taking up to $200 off three of its electric scooters. While two models are usual inclusions in EVOLV’s sales, for the first time in 2024 we’re seeing the Terra Electric Scooter benefit from a price cut at $1,079 shipped, after using the promo code SEPTEMBER-SALE at checkout for $150 off. This higher-end e-scooter normally fetches $1,229 most of the time, with the last time we saw it discounted being 2023 Black Friday sales to $1,129. This a rare chance today to score some savings on a powerful commuter solution, while also getting it at the lowest price we have tracked. Learn more about this model below or in our hands-on review.

On the more affordable end of the brand’s e-mobility lineup and becoming increasingly popular here in NYC, the EVOLV Terra electric scooter pulls up sporting dual 600W motors (1,200W together) that peak at 2,200W for more torque as you tackle steep inclines. It maxes out at speeds of 31 MPH when utilizing both motors together, or it instead offers lower 15 MPH speeds when put into its eco mode, which alternates between the motors to conserve energy and extend travel distances up to 34 miles.

Along with its impressive performance capabilities, EVOLV’s Terra electric scooter shows up with a nice collection of add-ons and features, like the front and rear shocks for full-suspension support, maintenance-free front and rear drum brakes, the twin LED headlights, twin LED taillights, and the in-deck lights too. It’s been given an IP54 waterproof rating for days you just can’t help but battle the elements, a rear kick plate with a built-in carry handle, a foldable frame to help you carry/store it when not in use, and the LED display with built-in trigger throttle.

Jackery’s early Prime sale takes 50% off 6,128.4Wh LiFePo4 Explorer 2,000 Plus bundle at new $3,299 low

Jackery has launched its own Prime Big Deal Days sale through October 7 that is taking up to 50% off a selection of power stations, bundles, and accessories, with some added bonus savings in the form of free gifts over $2,000 and member benefits too. One of the biggest deals of the bunch is on the brand’s Explorer 2,000 Plus which comes bundled with two extra batteries and two 200W solar panels for $3,299 shipped. This massive bundle would normally cost you $6,599, with many of the sales we’ve seen not offering it at lowered rates or occasionally dropping it to a higher $3,599. Today though, as the sale’s name suggests, Prime Big Deal Days is coming early with a 50% markdown that saves you $3,300 and lands it at a new all-time low.

If home backup is your concern, this Explorer 2,000 Plus bundle is certainly one of the best options to take up the task as it provides a combined 6,128.4Wh LiFePO4 capacity, with even further expansion possibilities up to 24kWh with additional equipment. You can reach 12,000Wh with five extra batteries, or connect two power stations (each with five batteries) to reach its maximum capacity size.

The station alone can take up to 1,200W of solar input, recharging its battery to full in up to two hours, or you can plug it into a standard wall outlet for the same rate – plus, there’s also car charging that takes much longer at up to 25 hours. Keep in mind these charging rates do not account for the expanded setups. You’ll have 10 output ports to cover devices and appliances (five ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, and one car port), plus complete control to monitor and adjust settings through the Jackery app via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

More Explorer 2,000 Plus discounts:

Be sure to check out all that Jackery is offering during this sale on the landing page here, with plenty of other options for home backup and trips out of the house – all at some of the best prices we’ve seen and two weeks ahead of the upcoming Prime Big Deal Days.

Hiboy takes 50% off S2R Plus e-scooter with regenerative braking at return $400 low

Hiboy has several of its e-bikes and e-scooters benefitting from up to 50% off discounts, with plenty of options for high-performance and entry-level models alike, including the S2R Plus Electric Scooter for $399.99 shipped. Normally fetching $806 at full price, this model is often included in most of the brand’s sales, often falling between $430 and $470. Today though, you’re looking at a 50% markdown that cuts $406 off its tag and gives you a chance to add it to your commute at the all-time lowest price we have tracked – with it even matching over at Amazon right now too.

Hiboy’s S2R Plus is one of the best entry-level models under the brand’s flag, arriving with a 350W motor paired alongside a 36V battery to reach top speeds of 19 MPH for up to 22 miles – all on a single five-hour charge. One of its most notable features is the included regenerative braking that recycles energy as you come to a stop for extended and more efficient travel distance. It also features an LED headlight and taillight for improved visibility at night, an IPX4 waterproof rating, cruise control settings, and an integrated digital display. You can adjust settings through the display or use its emote smart controls via the companion app, which also gives you the added security benefit of locking your scooter after you’re finished riding or when just hopping off for a break.

Hoverfly offers beginner-friendly H3 Foldable e-bike at return $425 low with bonus add-ons 

Hoverfly has an ongoing September Mobility Sale that is offering cash savings on a selection of e-scooters, e-bikes, and more. One of the best options among the offerings for those looking to jump into the e-bike market is the H3/Nephele Foldable e-bike for $424.99 shipped. Normally priced at $530 direct from Hoverfly, with a higher $600 starting price at other sites, we haven’t seen many discounts on this particular model, with most of late summer seeing it keep to its full price. Amazon did lower its rates a few weeks ago to match for a short period, but otherwise, you’re looking at the lowest price we have tracked at a 20% markdown that saves you $105 off this beginner-friendly model.

The H3 e-bike arrives at a modest, but still convenient 15.5 MPH top speed thanks to its 350W brushless hub motor that peaks at 500W, with a removable 280.8Wh battery powering the entire thing and three simplified riding modes. It has a traditional bike mode to get yourself mobile with some cardio, a pure electric mode that lets the bike carry you without effort, and a pedal assistance mode that supports you with boosts up to its maximum 25-mile travel distance.

The handlebars and saddle come fully adjustable to better fit the different height ranges of riders and also includes dual disc brakes, front shock absorbers, an integrated rear cargo rack, a headlight and taillight, 16-inch wheels, and a foldable bike frame that makes storage and transport far easier when you’re not cruising around. You’ll also be getting a gift along with your purchase, with an included carrying bag, phone holder, mirror, and basket.

Ørsted’s largest solar farm in the world is now online in Texas

Ørsted's largest solar farm in the world is now online in Texas

The Mockingbird Solar Center, Ørsted’s largest solar project globally, is now online, next to protected prairie donated by the renewable energy giant.

This massive 468-megawatt (MW) solar farm is set to power 80,000 homes and businesses, providing a major boost to the Texas grid.

But the launch of Mockingbird Solar isn’t just about clean energy – it’s also about restoring precious ecosystems. Ørsted has donated 953 acres of the Smiley-Woodfin Native Prairie Grassland, which sits next to the solar center, to The Nature Conservancy. The donated land is now the Smiley Meadow Preserve, a protected area for tallgrass prairie that’s home to more than 400 species of grasses and wildflowers.

Tallgrass prairies are some of the rarest ecosystems in the US, with less than 1% of Texas’ original tallgrass prairies still in existence. Tallgrass prairie does a lot of heavy lifting for the environment, including storing carbon, preventing floods, and providing crucial habitats for pollinators.

“Native prairies are the rarest landscapes left in Texas – so much so that many people have never seen one,” said David Bezanson, land protection strategy program director for The Nature Conservancy in Texas. He added that preserving Smiley Meadow will not only conserve one of the best prairie remnants left but also help restore other prairie habitats and boost regional biodiversity.

The Mockingbird Solar Center, a half-billion-dollar project, is part of Ørsted’s $20 billion push to expand renewable energy production across the US. Beyond generating electricity, it will inject $75 million into local property taxes, benefiting schools and other public services. The project also created over 550 construction jobs and will continue to be supported by operations staff moving forward.

Ørsted worked with US companies, including First Solar, for solar panels and partnered with local businesses like Drake Construction and Pfifer Farms for construction materials. It also gave more than $50,000 to local volunteer fire departments in Roxton and Brookston.

With Mockingbird Solar now up and running, Ørsted has more than 6 gigawatts of onshore wind, solar, and battery storage projects either in operation or being built across the US.

Cramer names oil and natural gas stocks set to do well under Trump

Cramer names oil and natural gas stocks set to do well under Trump

CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Friday said companies related to natural gas and oil will thrive under President-elect Donald Trump’s administration and a majority Republican Congress.

“We’re hearing about all sorts of Trump trades right now, and many of these things have made insane moves in less than three weeks, to the point where, actually, they’re feeling precarious to me,” he said. “If you want a sustainable Trump trade, I say bet on the natural gas ecosystem. This is an industry that already had a lot going for it, it just needed some cooperation from the federal government, which it is about to get.”

President Joe Biden’s administration is largely opposed to fossil fuels, Cramer said, and the federal government has worked to block pipelines and paused new liquified gas export authorizations. This dynamic, coupled with a weaker global economy, caused the sector to underperform for much of the year, he suggested. But Trump has shown more favor to the industry, and Cramer pointed out that he tapped prominent oil executive Chris Wright to lead the Department of Energy.

Cramer recommended several stocks in the sector, including energy producers EQT and Coterra. The former is focused on natural gas and recently acquired peer Equitrans, raising the combined company’s valuation to an estimated $35 billion, Cramer noted. He added that Coterra is a good long-term holding and called the company “one of the shrewdest operators in the industry.”

He highlighted pipeline companies, including Energy Transfer and Kinder Morgan, and said he was especially bullish on Enbridge. Enbridge says it transports about 20% of all natural gas consumed in the U.S., and Cramer claimed the Canadian outfit has “strategically located assets.” He also named Cheniere and Sempra, saying the former is the “best playfor liquified natural gas exports.

“Seasonally, this is a good time for the commodity,” he said, pointing out that natural gas itself has climbed since the election. “But I also think there’s some optimism about the future of the industry driving this move.”

Jeep launches Wagoneer S EV lease prices starting at just 9 per month

Jeep’s first global luxury electric SUV will arrive at US dealerships any day. Despite its $72,000 price tag, lease prices for the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S EV start at just $599 per month.

2024 Jeep Wagoneer S EV lease prices

After unveiling its first global electric SUV, Jeep’s CEO said the Wagoneer S “marks a new chapter” in its storied history.

Jeep claims the Wagoneer S packs “exhilarating performance.” With 600 hp and 617 lb-ft of torque, the big-body SUV can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. Its 100 kWh battery pack also gives it a driving range of over 300 miles.

The electric SUV is unmistakably still a Jeep, but it did get several upgrades to distinguish it as an EV. The grille is now enclosed without the need to cool a massive engine, giving it a sporty, more modern look.

Jeep revamped its design with a new illuminated seven-slot grille with ambient cast lightning. It also fine-tuned its profile, adding flush door handles, a rear wing, and integrated fins for better airflow.

The first Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition models get exclusive dark accent design elements like 20″ Gloss Black Wheels.

Inside, the electric SUV is loaded with the latest tech and connectivity, including a best-in-class 45″ of usable screen space. The setup includes a 12.3″ center screen and an exclusive 10.25″ interactive front passenger screen.
