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 Amazon, after 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.

JetCurrent Pro e-bike

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 shipped, after 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 shipped, after 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.

Porsche shows off Cayenne EV 11kW induction charging at IAA

Porsche shows off Cayenne EV 11kW induction charging at IAA

Porsche today showed off two of its new products at IAA in Munich. The long-awaited Cayenne EV showed up with a new trick: an 11kW induction charger.

Details are still a little sparse at the moment, but it looks like a forthcoming Cayenne, which we hope to get a better look at later this month, will have 11kW wireless charging capability. Also new: the Cayenne will DC charge at up to 400kW, one of the fastest charging cars we’ve seen outside of China. But back to induction charging…

Porsche’s press release didn’t mention the type of induction charging, whether it would be compatible with other types of inductive chargers, or whether this was something that would come on other Porsches, wider VW vehicles, or even across the industry. The price is listed at €2000 for the option on the car and €5000 for the charging pad.

How inductive charging works in detail

Inductive charging is known from smartphones, but also from electric toothbrushes. The energy is transferred through the air via a magnetic field. For this purpose, a transmitter coil made of copper and ferrites is located in the base plate. Alternating current flows through this coil, which generates a magnetic field.

Porsche’s innovative concept uses ultra-wideband technology to determine the vehicle’s relative position above the floor plate. When the optimal parking position is reached, the driver is informed. In the vehicle’s secondary coil, which acts as a receiver unit, the magnetic field then generates alternating current. A rectifier then converts this into direct current so that the Cayenne’s high-voltage battery can store it.

The mechanism works by showing the charger on the front-view display. The driver must align the car to a certain place on the front of the car. Once over the spot, the car will lower itself to within 4-6 inches of the charging pad.

  • Porsche wireless charging
  • Up to 11 kW
  • Efficiency up to 90 %
  • Active cooling
  • Charging pad 50 kg and 1,17 m 46“ long
  • Car lowers automatically when it parks over the pad
  • Motion sensor shuts down the plate when living beings or metal is being detected
  • Price 2.000 Euro vehicle, 5.000 Euro for the inductive plate, plus an electrician

At 240V, the 11kW Inductive charger would have a ~46A load. Porsche says the unit is up to 90% efficient, which means that the draw would be at least 12.2kW, which is about a 48A load at 240V.

Honda to unveil full-size electric motorcycle with fast charging this month

Honda to unveil full-size electric motorcycle with fast charging this month

Honda is finally getting ready to show off a full-size electric motorcycle, and it’s coming with something we rarely see on two wheels: fast charging. The company confirmed it will reveal more details about the bike on September 16, and all signs point to it being the long-awaited production version of the EV Fun concept first teased last year.

That’s a big deal. While we’ve seen plenty of electric scooters and small commuter bikes from Honda and other legacy manufacturers, a full-size electric motorcycle with legitimate highway performance – and fast charging – would put Honda into much more serious territory.

Most current e-motos in this category either rely on slower Level 2 charging or have limited battery capacity (with a few notable exceptions like the LiveWire One). A lack of DC fast charging can make long-distance travel impractical on an electric motorcycle, or at least time-consuming with longer coffee breaks while Level 2 charging. Honda’s decision to integrate fast charging could be the differentiator that makes their bike a real contender for riders who don’t want to be tied down by long charge times.

While we don’t have full specs yet, teaser images of the bike clearly showcase a CCS Combo 2 charge port, which is used in Europe for fast charging.

It’s an interesting move, especially since the company previously described the range of the upcoming model as being sufficient for urban use, without providing solid battery capacity information.

The bike looks nearly identical to the EV Fun concept, with a modern naked sport-bike style and Honda’s classic design language.

From the renders and spy shots floating around, it’s clearly meant to compete in the same class as mid-size combustion motorcycles like Honda’s CB series. That means it won’t be a tiny urban commuter; we’re talking about something built for the highway.

In addition to a dearth of info regarding the battery size, Honda hasn’t shared exact range or pricing yet, but those three specs will make or break this launch. Range has been the Achilles’ heel of many electric motorcycles, with real-world numbers often falling short of what riders expect from a gas bike, making faster highway-speed trips trickier without fast charging stops.

Price is another key factor. If Honda tries to compete head-to-head with Harley’s LiveWire or the high-dollar Zero models, it could find itself in a three-way battle to attract new riders. But if it manages to slot into a more accessible price bracket, we could see Honda move a lot of units.

While Honda says we’ll get the official details on September 16, the end-of-year timing also lines up well with the EICMA show in Milan this November. Don’t be surprised if Honda makes a bigger splash there, giving the bike its proper global debut in front of the industry.

The Kia EV5 is the affordable electric SUV we want, but can't have

Kia-EV5-affordable-SUV

Kia launched the EV5 in South Korea, its stylish new Sportage-sized electric SUV. With prices starting at just $35,000, the Kia EV5 arrives as an affordable SUV that’s built for the masses. But those in the US may never get to see it.

Kia launches the EV5 in Korea at an affordable price

After opening orders in the UK earlier this week, Kia launched the EV5 in its home market of South Korea on Wednesday.

Like overseas, the electric SUV is available in three variants: Air, Earth, and GT-Line. Powered by an 81.4 kWh battery, the EV5 offers a range of up to 460 km (285 miles).

A single front-mounted electric motor provides up to 215 hp (160 kW) and 295 Nm max torque. It can also recharge from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes using a 350 kW charger.

The EV5 is 1,875 mm wide, 4,610 mm long, and 1,675 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,750 mm, which is slightly smaller than that of the Tesla Model Y. To give you a better idea, that’s 10 mm wider, 70 mm longer, and 30 mm taller than the Kia Sportage.

The extended wheelbase provides “best-in-class” rear passenger space, according to Kia, with 1,041 mm second-row legroom.

Despite an upright stance like the larger EV9, the EV5 still has a sporty look with Kia’s latest design elements. The vertically stacked LED headlights and slim DRLs with Star Map lighting add to the bold styling.

The interior features Kia’s latest ccNC infotainment system, featuring dual 12.3″ driver cluster and infotainment screens in a panoramic display. Plus, there’s an added 5″ AC display.

Kia introduced several new features, including a new sound bar and display theme. Through a partnership with Disney, the EV5 will play welcome and goodbye tunes, EV-specific sounds, and more.

The base EV5 Air starts at 48.55 million won ($35,000) in Korea, while the Earth trim is priced from 52.3 million won ($37,600). Upgrading to the sporty GT-Line costs 53.4 million won ($38,400).

With government and local subsidies, Kia expects the EV5 to be available for purchase at around 40 million won ($28,800).

Starting Price Driving Range
Kia EV5 Air 48.55 million won ($35,000) 460 km (285 miles)
Kia EV5 Earth 52.3 million won ($37,600) 460 km (285 miles)
Kia EV5 GT-Line 53.4 million won ($38,400) 460 km (285 miles)
Kia EV5 prices and driving range by trim in South Korea

In comparison, the base Tesla Model Y RWD starts at 52.99 million won ($38,000) and has a driving range of up to 400 km (248 miles).

Although Kia plans to launch the EV5 in North America, it will be exclusively sold in Canada. We’ve seen a few EV5 models testing in the US, sparking speculation (or hope) that it could arrive, but don’t get your hopes up too soon. The last official statement from Kia still says the EV5 will be exclusive to Canada in the North American market.

What do you think of Kia’s new electric SUV? Would you buy one in the US? With Trump’s tariff war, don’t get your hopes up.
