There’s a great opportunity on Rachio’s smart hose timer with a Wi-Fi hub, as well as its multi-zone sprinkler controllers, starting at some new low prices from $69. For folks who have been investing in an arsenal of EGO Power+ tools and devices, the brand’s Nexus Portable Power Station just fell to an $899 low, and we also have another one-day only sale on Greenworks’ popular 1,900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Combo Kit at $100. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s early fall Prime Day sale from Segway or the Lectric XPeak extra battery e-bike bundle, among others.

Juiced’s 20% off sitewide sale drops JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike to new $1,759 low

Juiced has increased its sitewide savings to 20% off, which is giving folks an even better deal on its new JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike than we reported on a few days ago, now down at $1,759.20 shipped, after using the promo code SAVINGS at checkout. Priced at $2,799, and starting here today at $2,199, this combined 37% markdown not only beats the incredibly short-lived $1,889 former low that we saw the other day, but also gives you a total of $1,040 in savings – the largest amount taken off its usual rate that we have seen, marking a new all-time low price – but don’t wait to long to make a decision here, who knows how long Juiced will keep it going!

Juiced’s JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike boasts two new firsts for the popular brand – the folding frame that saves you far more storage/transport space and the ridiculous 34 MPH top speed. It achieves the latter thanks to the supercharged 1,200W NeoBlade motor (2,000W peak) that is powered by the 52V battery and comes supported by five levels of pedal assistance, which all together also provides a 70-mile travel range on a single charge. And the upgraded support doesn’t stop there, as it also sports joint torque and cadence sensors to reduce lag time between the system’s pick up too. Equipped with a throttle for pure electric action when you want it, there’s also an active cruise control feature that keeps speeds under 20 MPH to conserve the battery for longer travel times, or you can throw caution to the wind with its race track mode that cuts off any limits on the motor to reach its fastest settings.

The praises don’t stop there for Juiced’s JetCurrent Pro e-bike, as it comes stocked with 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. You’ll also get some gear which you can add onto the frame at your preference, with a 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.

You’ll find all the other e-bikes under the brand’s flag by following this link here to the landing page, with the 20% off discount not shown on models’ prices until you use the promo code SAVINGS at checkout.

Rad Power’s RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike drops to new $1,199 low

Rad Power has launched an Orange Friday sale through October 16 that is taking up to $400 off three of its utility and/or folding e-bike models alongside a 25% discount on its vehicle racks. Pulling out ahead of the pack as the biggest deal is the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike for $1,199 shipped. This model is normally priced at $1,599 outside of sales, with 2024 largely dropping costs down to $1,299, with a few others seeing things taken lower to the former $1,249 low. Today though, you’re looking at the best deal we’ve seen on it yet as it gets a $400 markdown and lands at a new all-time low. You can check out our hands-on review over at Electrek or head below to learn more.

Solving the problem of storage space, the RadExpand 5 e-bike has been designed with a folding frame to condense its size when you’re not on the saddle to fit inside closets, car trunks, RVs, and more. It arrives stocked with a 750W brushless geared rear-hub motor that is powered by the 672Wh battery, with this combination providing a max speed of 20 MPH while carrying riders up to 45+ miles after a single charge. It has four low-profile cadence-sensing pedal assist levels to help extend the bike’s travel range, or if you’re unconcerned with mileage, there’s a half-twist throttle too (the sole use of which will decrease its range).

There’s a bunch more added features here to enhance your riding experience, with a standard LED headlight alongside an integrated taillight that offers brake light functionality, both of which automatically activate when daylight drops low enough. It also comes with an integrated cargo rack that has a 55-pound limit, fenders over both wheels, a water-resistant wiring harness, a 7-speed MicroShift derailleur, and a simple LED display.

Add Rachio’s smart hose timer and multi-zone sprinkler controllers to your setup at new low prices from $69

Amazon is offering a great new chance to optimize your sprinkler systems with the Rachio Smart Hose Timer with Wi-Fi Hub for $69 shipped. Normally fetching $100, we’ve mainly been seeing this package bobbing between $99 and $79 throughout 2024, with the former $75 low having only been seen once back in March. Today though, instead of returning to that rate, we’re getting an even better 31% markdown that drops costs to a new all-time low price.

This smart hose timer that comes along with the Wi-Fi hub will work in sync together in order to provide smart controls over your water supply as it flows from out of your spigot. Through the Rachio app on your smartphone, you can monitor flow rates, set schedules, and even have it send you alerts when things aren’t running properly. A neat bonus feature here is the timer using Wi-Fi to update itself on weather forecasts and skip scheduled watering times before or after expected rain, keeping your lawn from drowning while saving you some money too. You can also pair up to four of these timers to one Wi-Fi hub for maximum coverage.

That’s not the only new low price we’re seeing today for this system, as Amazon has also dropped the Rachio 3rd Gen Smart 4-Zone Sprinkler Controller to $85, down from $150. If you want to take your control over your water supply to its best levels, pairing this model with the above device is recommended. It also uses weather forecasts to skip scheduled watering periods, with functions like rain skip, wind skip, freeze skip, and more to save you money and save you from headaches of a dead lawn. It’s ready to be installed straight out of the box with no extra charges or subscription fees lurking around either.

If you have a much larger yard that the 4-zone can handle alone, there are other options, with the 8-zone sprinkler controller down from $230 to $177 right now, while its 16-zone counterpart is going for $217, down from $300. You can find a few bundle options on all these too, throwing in waterproof outdoor enclosures for added protection with the 8-zone controller for $209, while the 16-zone bundle here is down at $249. There’s also two more bundles worth considering of sprinkler controllers and the hose timer, with the 8-zone controller package for $246, or the 16-zone controller for $286.

nexus

Add the Nexus power station with two 7.5Ah batteries to your EGO Power+ setup for $899 low

Amazon is offering the EGO Power+ Nexus Portable Power Station with two 7.5Ah batteries for $899 shipped. You’d normally find this heavy-duty combo for $1,099 most days, with 2024 having seen very few discounts on it and its counterparts, most of which only took costs down to $999 while July’s Prime Day sales saw it first fall to $899. You can score it here today as it returns to its all-time summer Prime Day low, saving you $200 off its usual going rate. You can also find the power station alone at $599, or its larger counterpart with four 5.0Ah batteries for $1,481.

This power station from EGO Power+ was designed as an alternative to gas generators, with a diverse range of uses for camping, tailgating, running large holiday displays/decorations, job site support, and more. The brand’s own 7.5Ah ARC batteries power the device, pumping out a continuous stream of power up to 2,000W (peaking at 3,000W) with three AC outlets and four USB ports to connect your devices and appliances.

For example, with just this combination, you can run a standard refrigerator for around three hours when the power goes out, with smaller models that you might use for tailgating lasting even longer. What’s nice about this for those who already own EGO Power+ tools and their respective batteries, is that you can keep switching them out with the included two for sustained power output or plug the station into a wall outlet to act as a multi-port battery charger too, making it a nice addition to homes/setups already investing in the brand.

greenworks

Greenworks’ 1,900 PSI electric pressure washer combo kit brings you more utility at $100 for today only

Offered through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy has dropped the price on the Greenworks 1,900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Combo Kit to $99.99 shipped for today only. Normally going for $220 most of the time, the best opportunities that we’ve seen for this particular package are during these one-day sales, which we last saw appear a few times in August. You’re looking at another chance to score it at one of its best discounted rates, giving you $120 in savings and giving you the third-lowest price we have tracked – only $10 above the all-time low from last year’s Christmas sales.

You won’t find this model directly from Greenworks anymore, with the company focusing on its counterpart with a wheeled frame over the utility that this model provides. You’ll get a far more portable device here while it delivers up to a 1,900 PSI that runs at a 1.2 GPM flow rate. Unlike some of its successors, this combo comes with a wider variety of attachment heads for the wand, giving you more versatility in the ways you can tackle and wash away the grime that’s been building up around the outside of your home (with onboard storage to keep them together and easy to find). The 20 feet of non-marring, high-pressure hose gives you more leeway when it comes to maneuverability, with a surface cleaner attachment for boosted power, and features the brand’s Total Stop System to have the pump automatically shut off when the trigger is not being engaged.

Fall e-bike deals!

Best new Green Deals landing this week

The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

Thousands of Tesla owners doxxed. The only way to get off the list? Sell your car

Thousands of Tesla owners doxxed. The only way to get off the list? Sell your car

Amid worldwide protests against Tesla due to CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in the company, hackers have released a website with address and contact information of thousands of Tesla owners. And the same hackers say that the only way to get off the list is to prove that you’ve sold your car.

Protests against Tesla started in February, with groups picketing outside stores across North America and elsewhere.

The protesters have been pretty clear in their reasoning why – they’re not fans of Elon Musk and his recent actions.

In case you’ve been under a rock, Musk has been meddling in politics recently, after being radicalized by his twitter feed which he is hopelessly addicted to. It started with a nine-figure bribe to a convicted felon’s presidential campaign, which many thought would produce results in the form of corruption after said felon wandered back into the Oval Office (despite that there exists a clear legal remedy for insurrectionists), and appointed Musk to a fake and redundant government department which has so far expectedly failed to produce any meaningful results.

This meddling is predictably not working out great so far for Tesla, the business which produced the vast majority of Musk’s wealth and which he is still, somehow, the titular leader of.

It turns out, people don’t particularly like it when you’re part of an administration that dedicates itself to poisoning Americans, raising their costs, and harming US industry, among all the other ill-considered actions going on at the federal level. The administration Musk is a part of is actively trying to make EVs more expensive and harder to charge, both of which will harm Tesla – and your air quality.

Even Elon Musk himself acknowledges that these actions are “not good for America or the world” – or at least he did, back before he forgot how climate change works.

The unambiguous Nazi salutes didn’t help either – which were not out of character for Musk, given his history of white supremacist statements and his current support for German neo-Nazis. He has since gone on to agree with a defense of Hitler’s actions in the Holocaust.

All of this has resulted in a huge drop in Tesla popularity, and along with that has come a drop in sales and the aforementioned protests, many of which are being exercised by Tesla owners and EV fans who are dismayed that the electric car company’s leadership has taken such an anti-EV turn.

There are passive protests like Tesla owners debadging their cars, and then the active ones like those who are exercising their First Amendment right to picket outside of Tesla stores.

Musk and the government he’s a part of have responded to these protests in their expected manner: by spreading misinformation with the intent of silencing the protesters’ free speech – a fundamental right which Musk has long shown disdain for.

And then, beyond that, there are… let’s say less accepted forms of protest happening in the US and elsewhere.

Today, we’re seeing a whole new type of protest – in the form of a hacker group which got access to Tesla account data and posted it all online, exposing thousands of Tesla owners’ information on the web.

Tesla owners’ information posted on protest site

The website includes a map and a snarky message stating the site’s intent – claiming that it’s a social media site for Tesla owners, rather than a protest site. But it also says that it encourages “creative expressions of protest that you can execute from the comfort of your own home.” Though, the site also uses a molotov cocktail as a cursor replacement.

Here is the text on the site (the name of the site has been redacted here, because while the information doesn’t seem particularly harmful on its own, given that most of it is public, I’d still rather not be responsible for leading people towards it):

XXXXX is the ultimate hub for enthusiasts of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)! Our innovative platform allows users to explore an interactive map of DOGE landmarks.

But that’s not all! We also cater to Tesla Motors owners, providing a comprehensive resource to locate nearby service centers, showrooms, and charging stations—all at their fingertips.

Leveraging our cutting-edge artificial intelligence algorithms, XXXXX goes a step further by connecting like-minded Tesla owners with one another, facilitating a vibrant community through shared contact information.

Join us as we revolutionize the way DOGE fans and Tesla owners connect and explore!

Is XXXXX a protest platform?

If you’re on the hunt for a Tesla to unleash your artistic flair with a spray can, just step outside—no map needed! At XXXXX, we believe in empowering creative expressions of protest that you can execute from the comfort of your own home.

XXXXX neither endorses nor condemns any actions.

Before you embark on any adventure, we highly recommend checking out the No Trace Project.

I want my information removed.

Absolutely! Just provide us with proof that you’ve sold your Tesla.

Email XXXXX. We only accept scanned documents in JPG and PNG formats.

The way that the information was leaked is not immediately apparent, nor does the group make any claims as to how it got the information. It may or may not have even come from Tesla itself, since it includes somewhat random pieces of information for each owner.

The information is categorized under different icons, with designations for Tesla stores, Superchargers, Tesla owners’ cars, and then additional people of interest – which seem to largely be known residence of staffers working at Elon Musk’s bungling government department.

A quick check of the information suggests that it is not complete – there are many Tesla owners who are not listed on the site. And most of the information seems to just be addresses, phone numbers, business names and the like – much of which is already public information. Though there are also some email addresses and social media handles associated with certain entries, which may not be public information.

Also, Tesla locations are listed – such as Superchargers and Tesla stores. These are wholly public information and can be found on Tesla’s website.

Further, some outlets have confirmed that some of the information is inaccurate.

But, if any given Tesla owner is on the list, the site offers a remedy: merely email them with a scanned document proving you sold your car, and you will be removed. We haven’t tried this out to see if it will work or not, but if any owners do, feel free to reach out to us.

How 3D-printing ‘microfactories’ can transform plastic waste into brand new products

How 3D-printing 'microfactories' can transform plastic waste into brand new products

A new era of 3D printing “microfactories” is helping to turn waste plastics into “highly competitive” products fit for use in the construction industry, according to Veena Sahajwalla, professor and founding director of UNSW Sustainable Materials Research and Technology (SMaRT) Centre.

Speaking to CNBC’s Mandy Drury at Schneider Electric’s Sydney Innovation Summit on Monday in Australia, Sahajwalla said manufacturers had to direct their thinking around sustainability toward profitability.

“It’s not about saying, well I’m making it because its green. Actually, that should be the last thing. The first thing has to be profitability, does it work? Is it showing the right performance?” she said.

That thinking has pushed SMaRT to build plastic filaments made from 100% waste plastics, sourced from “all kinds of old printers.”

They are built in hyper-localized, heavily automated “microfactories” to produce personalized products.

“If this [waste-made plastic] can now be fed into a 3D printer, can you actually print a whole range of products?” she said.

One such product already made are “clamps” — or blocks — used in building and construction projects.

“Imagine all the building and construction projects where you need plants and imagine if you had to wait a long time to source these parts and components,” said Sahajwalla.

Political will is 'absolutely essential' for cross-jurisdiction sustainability projects: SunCable International

The large outlay on plants during construction projects means companies often purchase them secondhand.

SMaRT’s 3D-printed alternative, built in a Sydney microfactory using plastic filaments made from older, plastic waste, could ultimately lower costs, says Sahajwalla.

“You could literally talk to your local microfactory and say, can I make this at a comparative price and the right kind of performance?”

“This is where microfactory technologies have come in. To really close the gap to between what is seen as a waste on one hand and on the other hand make something that is high performance, high tech and competitively closing the gap.”

Hydrogen revolution?

Autonomous trucks and buses, powered by clean hydrogen-based energy, are on the cusp of hitting the roads, thanks to a technology still in its infancy.

Scott Brown, managing director of pure hydrogen, told CNBC that his firm now has a hydrogen-powered garbage truck in the city of Adelaide emitting “no diesel pollution, which can be detrimental to your health if you breathe it in,” as well as less noise pollution waking residents up during the morning garbage run.

He predicts a drop in fuel cell prices in the coming 10 to 15 years.

Car manufacturers Honda, Toyota and Hyundai have already adopted more fuel cell engineering.

Fuel cells refer to the use of hydrogen or other fuels to produce clean electricity.

“There’s not a lot of material involved. It looks like a PC and you put it into — in our case — a truck or a bus,” Brown said.

Because of its increasingly cost-effective production, fuel cell prices have come down “about 50% in the last three years,” he added.

Brown predicts that clean energy battery cell prices will “fall dramatically” in the coming decade as Chinese companies adopt more hydrogen-powered vehicles.

According to figures released by South Korean analysts SME Research Group in November, sales of hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles in China outnumbered purchases across the world.

Tesla (TSLA) obtains ride-hailing permit in California, no robotaxi yet

Tesla (TSLA) obtains ride-hailing permit in California, no robotaxi yet

Tesla (TSLA) has officially obtained a permit in California to operate an internal fleet for a ride-hailing service, but it’s not for robotaxi yet.

In fact, the automaker hasn’t even applied for an autonomous driving permit yet.

A few weeks ago, it was reported that Tesla had applied for a ride-hailing permit in California.

Even though many linked it to Tesla’s Robotaxi effort, it was specifically for the right to operate an internal fleet of vehicles with drivers to offer a ride-hailing service.

Tesla had already disclosed that it was offering such a service to its employees in the Bay Area.

Now, the CPUC has confirmed that it has approved Tesla’s application (via Reuters):

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) said it approved Tesla’s application for a transportation charter-party carrier permit (TCP), a license typically associated with chauffeur-operated services, allowing the company to own and control a fleet of vehicles and transport employees on pre-arranged trips.

After Tesla’s stock crashed 5% today, the automaker’s stock went up 1.3% in aftermarket trading on the news.

The speculation is that this is in anticipation of Tesla launching its “robotaxi service”, but a CPUC spokesperson confirmed that the permit doesn’t allow Tesla to do that and that the automaker has yet to apply for a permit that would enable such a service.

Last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed that Tesla would launch “unsupervised self-driving in Texas and California in Q2 2025.” That’s within the next 4 months.

However, we suspected that this would not be “unsupervised self-driving’ in customer vehicles like Tesla has been promising since 2016, but an internal fleet with teleoperation support in a geo-fenced area for ride-hailing services, much like Waymo has been doing for years.

Sure enough, Musk confirmed last month that this was the plan for Austin in June. We describe this as a “moving of the goal post” for Tesla.

With the focus on Austin in June, Tesla stopped talking about California, which was announced to happen at the same time as Texas last year.

Currently, the prediction market Polymarket puts the odds of Tesla launching robotaxis in California in 2025 at 29%:

Electrek’s Take

As I previously stated, I believe Tesla will use this permit to expand its existing ride-hailing test program in California to non-employees.

It will use that to iron out the ride-hailing system while it continues to work on its self-driving system, which is obviously the hard part to solve.

That said, I wouldn’t be completely shocked if Tesla launched a “robotaxi” in California this year. It just won’t be what Tesla has been promising for years: customer vehicles built since 2016 would be capable of self-driving at a robotaxi-level (4-5 SAE levels).

Instead, it will be an internal fleet with teleoperation support in a geo-fenced area, much like Waymo has been offering in California, Arizona, and Texas for years.
