Tesla universal and standard Wall Connector EV charging stations see rare discount to new lows from $420

Coming to us directly from its official Amazon storefront, Tesla is offering a rare and significant price cut on its Wall Connector EV chargers, with the Universal model down at $550 shipped. Originally carrying a $620 price tag, it permanently fell to $580 back in May and has mainly been kept at that price, while some third-party retailers have offered it at $5 to $10 cheaper occasionally. Today though, you’re looking at the best rate we have tracked to date, as an additional $30 is shaved off the tag here, giving you a rarely occurring drop to a new all-time low price.

It’s not every day that we get this kind of deal on Tesla devices, especially its charging stations, and this Universal Wall Connector delivers a customizable output of up to 48A charging speeds for you to install at your home (or any other space you may frequent), either indoors or outdoors for a completed EV setup. When you install it and set it to its maximum amperage, you’ll be getting upward of 44 miles of travel for each hour that you keep it plugged in, and it utilizes a J1772 adapter to provide recharges to non-Tesla vehicles too. By connecting it to your local Wi-Fi network, you’ll ensure that it can keep itself updated with the latest firmware, which you can also manually control through the Tesla app.

If you’re a Tesla-only household and aren’t concerned with having universal compatibility, you’ll also find Tesla’s standard wall connector at $420, down from $450. Other than the missing J1772 adapter, you’ll be getting the same performance out of this charging station as its above counterpart.

Anker’s new SOLIX C300 90,000mAh portable power stations return to lowest prices for first time from $150

Anker is offering a second chance to score either of its new C300 90,000mAh Portable Power Stations at their lowest rates since launching, with the DC model at $149.99 shipped, and the AC model at $189.99 shipped, which is also matched at Amazonafter clipping the on-page $60 off coupon. Down from their $200 and $250 price tags, We’ve only seen these prices once before during the week-long early bird specials back at the tail-end of August. Since then we’ve seen a few discounts, mainly from Amazon, with the lowest price cut keeping $10 above these low prices. Today you can score them again at their all-time lowest prices while Anker’s ongoing early fall Prime Day sale continues through October 9.

Anker’s SOLIX C300 AC model delivers a 90,000mAh capacity to cover your on-the-go charging needs while also running smaller appliances with a 600W max power output. There are three included AC ports on this model, as opposed to its counterpart DC model that mainly focuses on USB needs, with three USB-C ports, a single USB-A port, and a 120W auxiliary/car port. Unlike the DC model, this one doesn’t offer dual-recharging capabilities but does reach similar speeds when plugged into a standard wall outlet, along with solar charging options. It’s a bit easier to carry thanks to the integrated handle on top, and includes a light bar above the display screen for nighttime support, especially great for when you’re in the dark at a campsite.

The SOLIX C300 DC model offers boosted self-recharging speeds with its two bidirectional 140W USB-C ports being used together to hit 280W. Sharing most of the other qualities with its above sibling, it offers a 120W auxiliary/car port, two USB-A ports, and four USB-C ports – two of which are 140W ports, one being a 100W port, and the last one hitting 15W. It also sports a pop-up LED light in place of the carrying handle with multiple brightness levels. If you’re instead still wanting something smaller, I recommend checking out the PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh predecessor that is currently sitting at $120.

Juiced JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike drops to $2,099

Juiced Bikes has dropped the price on its latest JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike to $2,099 shipped. Down from its $2,799 price tag, we’ve mainly been seeing this model keep down around $2,299 regularly, with occasional sales taking costs lower for short periods. In August, we saw it $1,954 during a similar weekend sitewide sale, with a “blink-and-you-missed-it” short-term fall to the $1,889 low recently. You’re still looking at a solid $700 markdown that gives you a chance to climb aboard at the third-lowest price that we have tracked.

Juiced’s latest entry into the EV market, the JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike, arrives sporting the first of the brand’s folding frames to better help riders save space when not aboard the saddle. Alongside this new feature, it also happens to be the brand’s fastest model released, as the supercharged 1,200W NeoBlade motor (peaking at 2,000W), along with the 52V battery and five levels of pedal assistance, propel the bike up to 34 MPH top speeds and provide a longer 70-mile travel distance. To better support riders, its been given joint torque and cadence sensors to reduce lag time between the system’s pick up, with a throttle included for pure electric action too. There’s an active cruise control feature here to keep speeds under 20 MPH and conserve travel distance, or you can take the opposite approach with its race track mode that turns off its electronic limits to race around at its fastest settings.

Things don’t stop there either, as its been given a 1,050-lumen Shadowblaster headlight for increased visibility at night, as well as 4-inch fat tires with fenders over each, 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes, turn signal functionality on both the front and rear sections, and a separate brake light too. In terms of add-on gear, there’s also the rear cargo rack, a folding mirror, an “automotive grade horn,” a backlit LCD display with a USB port to charge your phone – plus, it even has a security alarm with a wireless remote for your peace of mind.

EcoFlow flash sale saves you up to $1,800 on DELTA Pro and RIVER 2 Pro power station bundles from $599 lows

EcoFlow has launched the next of its 24-hour flash sales from its ongoing Early Prime Big Deal Days sale, with two power station bundles benefitting from up to $1,800 off discounts for the rest of the day. The biggest of savings is coming from the brand’s official Amazon storefront on its DELTA Pro Portable Power Station that comes with a 400W solar panel for $2,399 shippedafter clipping the on-page $1,600 coupon. Normally this package would cost you $4,199, but you’re looking at a combined 43% markdown while the flash sale continues which ultimately saves you $1,800 and gives you the best rate we have tracked to date – beating out July’s previous low by $200.

One of EcoFlow’s larger backup power units on the market, the DELTA Pro station brings you a 3,600Wh capacity that can be further expanded up to 10kWh when paired with multiple dedicated smart extra batteries, or even more to its 25kWh max with additional extra batteries and power stations all linked together. It provides up to 3,600W of steady power output that can grow to 7,200W while surging, with plenty of output ports to ensure devices and appliances remain running – five AC ports, four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two DC ports, and a car port. Recharging is fairly quick too, as the station can regain its entire capacity in 1.8 hours connected to a wall outlet, or you can use up to 1,600W of solar input to get a full battery in 2.8 hours.

The second bundle in the sale is on the RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station that comes with a 160W solar panel for a return $599 low, down from $1,048. This smaller model sports a 768Wh capacity and a power output of 1,600W thanks to its X-boost tech that allows it to “run 80% of home appliances.” Last minute trips won’t be such a worry with this unit as a wall outlet can fully recharge its battery in just 70 minutes, with additional charging options through solar (220W max), USB-C, or the car port. There’s also the four AC ports, three USB-A ports, and only one of the USB-C ports to connect your devices and appliances to.

Don’t miss out on all the great discounts that EcoFlow’s Prime Deal Days sale is offering until October 7, which you can look through in full here on this landing page.

Hiboy

Hiboy’s EX6 step-thru fat-tire e-bike carries you for up to 70 miles at return $800 low

Best Buy is offering the Hiboy EX6 Step-Thru Fat-Tire e-bike for $799.99 shipped. Normally priced at $1,580 most days, this is the first discount we’ve seen on this model come from Best Buy, after the retailer recently added a whole new array of EV brands to its marketplace in the last few weeks. We’ve only seen this same price show up twice in 2024, first in March over at Amazon, with Hiboy directly lowering costs back in mid-July. Today, you can add this affordable commuter to your garage at a 49% markdown that gives you $780 in savings and lands it at the return all-time lowest price we have tracked – even beating out Hiboy’s current sale that has it discounted to $900.

Whether you’re new to the world of e-bikes or an experienced rider, Hiboy’s EX6 Step-Thru e-bike arrives stocked and ready to support you from where you are to where you need to be – all at a significantly affordable rate too. It’s been given a 500W brushless geared motor and a removable 48V waterproof battery that hits top speeds of 25 MPH while travelling for up to 75 miles (depending on your selected riding mode).

There are three here to balance out needs, with a pedal assist mode for the best mileage benefits, a pure electric mode that does all the work for you, but does cut its travel distance to 41 miles, and a bicycle mode for when you want to get some cardio in. It’s been designed to be ergonomically comfortable for you throughout your entire journey, with additional features that include dual disc brakes, a bright headlight, a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, 20-inch all-terrain fat tires with fenders over each, a hydraulic suspension fork, a rear cargo rack, and an LCD display.

goal zero

Goal Zero’s 78L Alta 80 dual-zone portable electric fridge/freezer drops to new $700 low

Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront, Goal Zero is offering its Alta 80 Portable Fridge and Freezer for $699.97 shippedafter clipping the on-page 30% off coupon. It has spent most of 2024 sitting at its full $1,000 price tag, with only a few amount of discounts taking costs down lower, primarily to $800, while we did spot one fall to $750 during Memorial Day sales. We haven’t seen the price budge for the last three months, but today that trend is being upset by this $300 markdown that takes it further than ever before to carve out a new all-time low price.

While many might consider summer the camping season, there are plenty of folks prepping and gearing up to enjoy nature during the autumn season, and this portable fridge and freezer is a great addition for folks who are taking along a Goal Zero power station for any situation – even for worksite jobs too. Unlike its smaller Alta 50 counterpart, which can switch between refrigerating and freezing your perishables, this larger model sports dual zones to keep both functions running simultaneously. Its massive 78L capacity outsizes most competitor models on the market and holds up to 130 12-ounce cans at once, making it an ideal addition to larger family travel plans. It doesn’t have its own battery, but it does have a cable to connect your Yeti power station for power, and depending on which model you’re connecting, you’ll be able to get up to 12+ days of runtime.

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi is partnering with Ample and Yamoto Transports to deploy an innovative new battery swap network for electric cars in its Japanese home market — but it’s not just for electric cars. Mitsubishi Fuso commercial trucks are getting in on the action, too!

Despite a number of early EV adopters with an overdeveloped concept of ownership, battery swap technology has proven to be both extremely effective and extremely positive to the overall EV ownership experience. And when you see how simple it is to add hundreds of miles of driving in just 100 seconds — quicker, in many cases, than pumping a tank of liquid fuel into an ICE-powered car — you might come around, yourself.

That seems to be what Mitsubishi thinks, anyway, and they’re hoping they’ll be your go-to choice when it’s time to electrify your regional and last-mile commercial delivery fleet(s) by launching a multi-year pilot program to deploy more than 150 battery-swappable commercial electric vehicles and 14 modular battery swapping stations across Tokyo, where the company plans to showcase its “five minute charging” tech in full view of hundreds of commercial fleets and, crucially, the executives of the companies that own and manage them.

How battery swap works for electric trucks

A truck like the Mitsubishi eCanter typically requires a full night of AC charging to top off its batteries, and at least an hour or two on DC charging in Japan, according to Fuso. This joint pilot by Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks, and Ample aims to circumvent this issue of forced downtime with its swappable batteries, supporting vehicle uptime by delivering a full charge within minutes. The move is meant to encourage the transport industry’s EV shift while creating a depository of stored energy that can be deployed to the grid in the event of a natural disaster — something Mitsubishi in Japan has been working on for years.

Trucks like the eCanter already serve a number of roles throughout the global truck market, including municipal waste collection, regional delivery support, and more.

The pilot is backed by Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s “Technology Development Support Project for Promoting New Energy,” with local delivery operator Yamato Transport testing swappable EVs for delivery operations on both its eCanter light-duty trucks and Mitsubishi Minicab kei-class electric vans.

Electrek’s Take

Electrifying the commercial truck fleet is a key part of decarbonizing city truck fleets – not just here in the US, but around the world. I called the eCanter, “a great product for moving stuff around densely packed city streets,” and eliminating the corporate fear of EV charging in the wild just makes it an even better product for that purpose.

Here’s hoping we see more “right size” electric solutions like this one (and more battery swapping tech) in small towns and tight urban environments stateside somewhat sooner than later.

Opel Grandland Blitz AWD electric SUV should give US Jeep fans hope

Opel Grandland Blitz AWD electric SUV should give US Jeep fans hope

After becoming the first European brand to offer fully electric versions of every model it sells — and at the same price as the ICE models — Opel is going even further, with a new, AWD electric SUV that should give American Jeep fans hope for a new electric Cherokee!

Now part of the Stellantis, rather than GM portfolio of brands, Rüsselsheim-based Opel showed off the first official pictures of its new Opel Grandland Electric AWD — the company’s first all-electric SUV to feature the “Blitz” performance emblem and all-wheel drive.

“Our top-of-the-range Grandland SUV is a milestone for Opel,” says Opel CEO Florian Huettl. “Customers already have a choice of battery-electric drive, plug-in hybrid and hybrid with 48-volt technology. We are now offering even more choice with the Grandland Electric AWD and thus ensuring that our customers can enjoy maximum efficiency and safety in diverse weather and road conditions, combined with plenty of driving fun.”

Stellantis gets it right in Europe


Opel says its new, AWD Grandland is its most aerodynamically efficient model yet, with a drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0.278. That efficiency, paired with similarly efficient electric motors and a 73 kWh li-ion NMC battery give the electric crossover a 501 km (311 mile) WLTP range, while a combined 325 hp and 375 lb-ft of torque should make for suitably spirited acceleration to go along with all that green cred.

Suspension and handling, too, are promised to deliver on what Opel claims is a “typical” Teutonic driving experience in the Grandland AWD:

Both driving pleasure and comfort are further emphasized by dampers with frequency selective damping technology. This unique technology comes as standard on the Grandland Electric AWD and incorporates a second hydraulic circuit in the damper chamber to mechanically adapt the damping force in relation to the frequency. Depending on the situation, road surface conditions and driving style, it enables different damping characteristics for comfortable gliding at high frequencies – i.e. with short impacts such as on cobblestones or a manhole cover – as well as for a sporty, ambitious driving style with more direct contact with the road at low frequencies. The Grandland reacts even more immediately and directly to any command from the driver and, as is typical for Opel, remains stable when braking, cornering and at high speeds on the Autobahn.

OPEL PRESS RELEASE

The Opel Grandland Electric AWD ships with four standard drive modes that include “normal,” eco, sport, and 4WD mode, which simulates locking axles and true 4×4 off-road performance. The ESP and traction control systems adopt specific settings to enhance grip in 4WD mode as well, and maximum power and torque are instantly available.

Electrek’s Take

As you maybe could tell by now, feeding European Stellantis EVs into an AI image generator and asking it to “make them into Jeeps” is one of my new favorite things to do. This new Opel is no different, and the resulting image (above) paired with the models’ stated specs give me hope that the next wave of Jeep EVs will do better than the Wagoneer S at attracting buyers. All they really need, I think, is the right name — and the right price, to be winners.

With $25,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going?

Published

With ,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going?

Like a 90s “gifted” kid that was supposed to be a lot of things, the electric Jeep Wagoneer S never really found its place — but with dealers discounting the Jeep brands forward-looking flagship by nearly $25,000, it might be time to give the go-fast Wagoneer S a second look.

SKIP THE STORY: get straight to the deals.

Whether we’re talking about Mercedes-Benz, Cerberus, Fiat, or even Enzo Ferrari, outsiders have labeled Jeep as a potentially premium brand that could, “if managed properly,” command luxury-level prices all over the globe. That hasn’t happened, and Stellantis is just the latest in a long line of companies to sink massive capital into the brand only to realize that people will not, in fact, spend Mercedes money on a Jeep.

That said, the Jeep Wagoneer S is not a bad car (and neither is its totally different, hideously massive, ICE-powered Wagoneer sibling, frankly). Built on the same Stellantis STLA Large vehicle platform that underpins the sporty Charger Daytona EVs, the confusingly-named Wagoneer S packs dual electric motors putting out almost 600 hp. That’s good enough to scoot the ‘ute 0 to 60 mph in a stomach-turning 3.5 seconds and enough, on paper, to convince Stellantis executives that they had developed a real, market-ready alternative to the Tesla Model Y.

With the wrong name and a sky-high starting price of $66,995 (not including the $1,795 destination fee), however, that demand didn’t materialize, leaving the Wagoneer S languishing on dealer lots across the country.

That could be about to change, however, thanks to big discounts on Wagoneer S being reported at CDJR dealers in several states, according to our friends at the Car Dealership Guy podcast.

  • Jimmy Britt Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Georgia, has a Wagoneer S with an MSRP of $67,590 listed at $43,104 ($24,486 off)
  • In Florida, Taverna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat has a $67,590 Wagoneer S slashed to $43,138 ($24,452 off)
  • Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat in Oklahoma has a Wagoneer S listed for $43,425 ($24,165 off)

“Stellantis bet big on electric versions of iconic American brands like Jeep and Dodge, but consumers aren’t buying the premise,” writes CDG’s Marcus Amick. “(Stellantis’ dealer body) is now stuck with expensive EVs that need huge discounts to move, eating into already thin margins while competitors focus on [more] profitable gas-powered vehicles.”

All of which is to say: if you’ve found yourself drawn to the Jeep Wagoneer S, but couldn’t quite stomach the $70,000+ window stickers, you might want to check in with your local Jeep dealer and see how you feel about it at a JCPenneys-like 30% off!
