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

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

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.

Toyota to buy clean power from a .1 billion solar farm in Texas

Enbridge, a Canadian energy company, just announced it’s moving forward with an 815-megawatt (MW) solar project called Sequoia in Texas. When it’s done, it’ll be one of the largest solar farms in North America. The project’s price tag is a hefty $1.1 billion.

Enbridge’s Sequoia, around 150 miles west of Dallas, has already landed long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with AT&T and Toyota, ensuring most of its output is sold for years to come. This deal was highlighted in Enbridge’s third-quarter report on Friday.

Sequoia will be built in two phases, with power expected to start flowing in 2025 and 2026. Enbridge says it’s taken steps to reduce risks by securing equipment and procurement contracts in advance. Permits and purchase orders are also locked down.

Toyota’s PPA with Enbridge’s Texas solar project is part of Toyota’s broader push toward sustainability, as the automaker aims to achieve net zero by 2035 and match 45% of its purchased power with renewable electricity by 2026 as it still clings to its “diverse powertrain strategy.”

If you live in an area that has frequent natural disaster events, and are interested in making your home more resilient to power outages, consider going solar and adding a battery storage system. To make sure you find a trusted, reliable solar installer near you that offers competitive pricing, check out EnergySage, a free service that makes it easy for you to go solar. They have hundreds of pre-vetted solar installers competing for your business, ensuring you get high quality solutions and save 20-30% compared to going it alone. Plus, it’s free to use and you won’t get sales calls until you select an installer and share your phone number with them.

Your personalized solar quotes are easy to compare online and you’ll get access to unbiased Energy Advisers to help you every step of the way. Get started here. –trusted affiliate link*

NIO’s EV sales top 20,000 for the sixth straight month as new low-cost SUV shows promise

NIO's EV sales top 20,000 for the sixth straight month as new low-cost SUV shows promise

NIO's-Oct-sales

With its new electric SUV rolling out, NIO’s (NIO) sales topped the 20,000 mark again in Oct, its sixth straight month hitting the milestone.

NIO sold 20,976 vehicles last month, up 30.5% from October 2023. The NIO brand sold 16,657 vehicles, while its new “family-oriented smart vehicle brand,” Onvo, contributed 4,319 in its first full sales month.

After launching its new mid-size Onvo L60 electric SUV in September, NIO said production and deliveries are steadily ramping up.

At the end of October, NIO’s Onvo had 166 Centers and Spaces throughout 60 cities. Onvo plans to continue expanding its network to drive future growth.

NIO’s new electric SUV starts at around $21,200 (149,900) and is a direct rival to Tesla’s Model Y. The base $21K model is if you rent the battery. Even with the battery included, Onvo L60 prices still start at under $30,000 (206,900 yuan), with a CLTC range of up to 341 miles (555 km). That’s still less than the Model Y.

Tesla’s Model Y RWD starts at around $35,000 (249,900 yuan) with 344 mi (554 km) CLTC range in China.

NIO’s new Onvo brand drives higher Oct sales

NIO has often compared its new electric SUV to the Model Y, claiming it’s superior in many ways. The L60 has better consumption at 12.1 kWh/100km compared to the Model Y at 12.5 kWh/100km).

With a longer wheelbase (2,950 mm vs 2,890 mm), NIO’s electric SUV also provides slightly more interior space.

Despite the L60’s success so far, NIO believes its second Onvo model will be an even bigger hit. It could be a potential game-changer.

“If you think the L60 is good, then this new model is a much more competitive product,” NIO’s CEO William Li told CnEVPost after launching the L60. Onvo will launch a new EV every year. Following the L60, Onvo will launch a new mid-to-large-size electric SUV next year.

NIO’s leader claims the new model will be revolutionary. According to Li, it will offer even more surprises than the L60. Deliveries are planned to begin in Q3 2025.

NIO Onvo L60 vs Tesla Model Y trims Range
(CLTC)		 Starting Price
NIO Onvo L60 (Battery rental) 555 km (341 mi)
730 km (454 mi)		 149,900 yuan ($21,200)
NIO Onvo L60 (60 kWh) 555 km (341 mi) 206,900 yuan ($29,300)
NIO Onvo L60 (85 kWh) 730 km (454 mi) 235,900 yuan ($33,400)
NIO Onvo L60 (150 kWh) +1,000 km (+621 mi) TBD
Tesla Model Y RWD 554 km (344 mi) 249,900 yuan ($34,600)
Tesla Model Y AWD Long Range 688 km (427 mi) 290,900 yuan ($40,300)
Tesla Model Y AWD Performance 615 km (382 mi) 354,900 yuan ($49,100)
NIO Onvo L60 compared to Tesla Model Y prices and range in China

Local reports suggest a six-or seven-seat electric SUV could hit the market even sooner. With rumors of a launch around Q1 2025, deliveries could happen as soon as May 2025.

According to sources close to the matter, the L60 is just a “stepping stone” with even more exciting EVs on the way. The source claimed the new six-seat option will start at around $42,100 (300,000 yuan).
