It’s the second day of Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Day event and we’ve got another batch of notable Green Deals, starting with Segway’s Navimow Robot Lawn Mowers that are back at their lowest prices starting from $799. Jackery is taking up to 50% off its power stations for another day – with the flagship Explorer 3000 Pro power station bundled with two 220W solar panels hitting a new $1,999 low – plus, it and others are eligible to receive free on-the-go power stations and more with your purchase. From there, we have LG’s smart all-in-one electric washer/ventless dryer that is $1,000 off, as well as Bluetti’s Prime Day sales that have dropped the AC180 Portable Power Station down to a new $459 low. Finally, we have a bunch of EGO Power+ deals that you can take advantage of while the savings last. You’ll find our Prime Big Deal Days hub taking the spotlight down at the bottom of the page once again, curating everything together as we find them for your one-stop shopping pleasure. We’re updating the hub as fast as we can, so be sure to check back in regularly throughout the day.

Prime Day sale takes up to 32% off Segway’s Navimow robot mowers starting from $799

The Prime Big Deals Day savings continue with Amazon now offering the best rates on Segway’s Navimow Robot Lawn Mowers, with the H series models getting the biggest price cuts and starting from $1,299 shipped. The three models in this series normally go for $1,899, $2,199, and $2,599, respectively since first launching back in March, with discounts often dropping costs by $380 to $600. June saw the first of the largest discounts, followed again by July’s summer Prime Day, and now you can get the best savings once again today that returns the price down to the all-time lowest we have tracked.

Segway’s Navimow H series includes three models that are designed to cover either 0.2-acre yards, 0.37-acre yards, or 0.74-acre yards – with the first carrying a 180-minute battery life while the other two have extended 240-minute run times. They all provide the same cutting height range from 1.2 inches to 2.4 inches, and can even climb/descend up to 24-degree slopes while completing their duties – plus, they all sport an IP66 waterproof rating to handle the aftermath of adverse weather.

The big upgrade here is ditching any need for a perimeter wire in favor of RTK positioning, paired alongside its VisionFence Sensor that enhances its navigation and obstacle avoidance functionalities. You’ll be getting the smart controls over its performance that you would expect, allowing you to overwrite and adjust its settings and schedules – though you can also let it do it’s own thing too, with the robot able to return of its own accord to the charging station when its battery gets too low and picking back up after recharging. This is possible thanks to the guidance of its Global Navigation Satellite Systems that make sure to keep it within the set boundaries and also to track it down if it gets stuck on terrain or even swiped off your property when you’re not looking.

There’s also a more affordable option in the two predecessor Navimow i series models that are starting from $799, discounted from the usual $999 rate. These models are designed for either 1/8-acre yards or 1/4-acre yards and provide much of the same smart functionality, RTK navigation, and obstacle avoidance as the above models. You can get the full rundown on what to expect with these by reading through our announcement coverage from earlier in the year.

Jackery’s Prime Big Deals Day sale drops flagship Explorer 3000 Pro bundle to new $1,999 low ($2,000 off)

Running alongside Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Day event, Jackery is having a parallel sale direct from its website that is taking up to 50% off power stations, bundles, accessories – plus, the brand is giving away a limited quantity of free gifts along with your purchase of certain units and bundles. A notable standout is the flagship Explorer 3000 Pro Portable Power Station that comes bundled with two 220W solar panels for $1,999 shipped, gifting a free Explorer 240 v2 power station to the first 100 purchases on top of everything. Normally costing you $3,999, this bundle was last seen dropping to the former 2,279 low back during Labor Day sales, which was already a huge deal, but now that fall Prime Day is officially in swing, the brand has sweetened the pot with an increased 50% markdown. You’re looking at savings of $2,000 and scoring it at the best price we have seen to date anywhere – and that’s not even counting the free power station (valued at $249) if you’re one of the lucky recipients. Matched at Amazon, albeit without the gift.

Jackery’s flagship Explorer 3000 Pro supports you through your fall camping trips (whether you’re roughing it or heading out in an RV) and can also support your home appliances during sudden blackouts, with ten output ports to help: five AC ports (including a TT30 port), two USB-A quick-charge ports, two USB-C ports, and a car port. It provides an impressive 3,024Wh capacity and dishes out up to 3,000W of power to your appliances and devices. Recharging the battery in full can take as little as 2.4 hours with a standard wall outlet, or you can have it fully charged in three to four hours when utilizing its maximum 1,200W solar input (six 200W panels).

If you’re looking for more solar input on this bad boy, there are two additional bundles you can choose from – with both also eligible to receive the free Explorer 240 v2 unit. The first adds a transfer switch to the above bundle for $2,399, letting you connect to your breaker and power specific appliances in case of emergency. The second bundle instead gives you the power station with four 200W solar panels for $2,699.

LG’s smart all-in-one electric washer/ventless dryer falls to $2,000 in Prime Day competitor sale

As Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event continues, over at Best Buy we spotted the LG 5.0 Cubic-foot HE Smart All-in-One Electric Washer/Dryer with Ventless Inverter Heat Pump for $1,999.99 shipped as part of its official 48-hour fall Prime Day competitor sale. This combo appliance would normally cost you $3,000 at full price, with discounts often dropping during major sales events like this one. We saw it drop to its $1,500 low during July 4th sales, while more recently landing higher at $1,900 in August. Today, you can score it at a slightly lesser 33% markdown that still slashes a nice $1,000 off the price tag that you can invest elsewhere in your home upgrades, giving you a chance at the third-lowest price we have tracked. If you’re looking to save some extra cash on this model, you’ll find an open-box option in excellent condition at $1,700.

This combination washer/dryer unit arrives ENERGY STAR certified and sporting a streamlined ventless design alongside AI support that makes laundry day far less of a chore. You’ll get the full wide array of smart controls through its companion app, as well as built-in smart systems to detect fabric types and their soil levels to automatically adjust settings for the best wash options, tossing out the need to memorize which cycle and settings are ideal for particular clothes and fabrics.

It also has a large ezDispense reservoir that can hold and dispense up to 31 loads of detergent, or you can divide it up amongst detergent and fabric softener. One of its obvious standout features is the ventless design that not only lets you install it anywhere that fits your convenience, but its inverter heat pump technology makes it far more energy efficient than most other models, “using up to 60% less energy with every load.” Head below for more.

Take Bluetti’s AC180 portable power station on your next trip at new $459 Prime Day low

Joining the massive lineup of savings in its Prime Big Deal Days event, Amazon is offering another new low price on Bluetti’s AC180 Portable Power Station for $459 shipped. This unit normally sits at a $999 price tag at Amazon and even higher up to $1,249 elsewhere, we’ve mainly seen discounts dropping costs down between $549 and $649 on average. We did spot it drop to $499 back during Labor Day sales at the top of last month, but its getting beaten out here today with an even greater 54% markdown that cuts $540 off its going rate and carves out a new all-time low price.

The AC180 power station tackles device and portable appliance backup power needs with a 1,152Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that dishes out up to 1,800W of power output – with smart controls to adjust settings through the BLUETTI app on your tablet or smartphone. It boasts 11 output ports: four ACs, four USB-As, one USB-C, one DC, and even a wireless charging pad for your smaller, more personal devices. Recharging times come significantly reduced with this unit too, as you can get to 80% battery in as little as 45 minutes when your plug it into a wall outlet, or in 2.8 to 3.3 hours when connected to a 500W solar input. There are two bundle options during this sale that are discounted as well, with the power station including a 200W solar panel for $779, down from $1,299, or you can bump that up to a 350W solar panel at $949, down from $1,449.

EGO Power+ 56V 21-inch cordless self-propelled mower comes with 7.5Ah battery for $530

As part of its Prime Big Deals Day event, Amazon is offering the EGO Power+ 56V 21-inch Cordless Self-Propelled Lawn Mower with a 7.5Ah battery for $529.99 shipped. At full price, you’re looking at a cost of $649 normally, with occasional falls to $549 spaced out over months on average. We did see it fall to a $454 low back in March, with other discounts peppering the spring and early summer until keeping mostly to its MSRP from the top of June. Today we’re finally seeing a price shift once again, as $119 is slashed off the tag to give you the second-lowest Amazon price we have seen – $76 above spring’s low.

Powered by just the 7.5Ah ARC battery, this cordless electric lawn mower is designed to handle small to medium-sized yards for up to 60 minutes after a single charge. The 21-inch cutting deck houses the brushless motor and comes self-propelled at the touch of its trigger bar that sits right at your palms. It can easily maneuver through the bends and twists that you may have around your home, with six different cutting height position levels that range between 1.5 inches and 4 inches. Its even been given a 3-in-1 functionality to either mulch, rear-bag, or side-discharge clippings and debris – plus, it ditches the annoying pull string in favor of a quick and simple push button start.

Trump’s latest offshore wind cancellation is a threat to the grid – ISO New England

Trump's latest offshore wind cancellation is a threat to the grid – ISO New England

Trump’s Interior Department halted construction on 704 megawatt (MW) Revolution Wind, the US’s first multi-state offshore wind project that’s already 80% complete. Grid operator ISO New England says the decision is a threat to the grid.

ISO New England released a statement responding to the stop-work order, warning that “delaying the project will increase risks to reliability.”:

As demand for electricity grows, New England must maintain and add to its energy infrastructure. Unpredictable risks and threats to resources – regardless of technology – that have made significant capital investments, secured necessary permits, and are close to completion will stifle future investments, increase costs to consumers, and undermine the power grid’s reliability and the region’s economy now and in the future.

Revolution Wind, a joint development between Ørsted and BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners, is a 65-turbine project capable of powering around 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut once it’s complete. It was expected to come online next year. The project has created more than 1,200 jobs.

On August 22, the director of Bureau of Ocean Energy Management sent a vague letter to Ørsted commanding it to halt all activities on the fully permitted Revolution Wind, citing “national security interests,” yet providing no details.

BOEM’s Record of Decision for Revolution Wind, reported in 2023 in Section 4.6, page 185, states that the national security effects of the project would be “negligible and avoidable.”

This latest move echoes Trump’s cancellation in April of New York’s $5 billion Empire Wind 1 project, which was already under construction off New York’s coast. No viable reasons were given for that stop-work order either, and the cancellation was reversed in May.

Kit Kennedy, managing director for power at Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), released the following statement in response to the Revolution Wind order:

The Trump administration’s war on the electricity needed to power the grid continues on all fronts. Halting Revolution Wind is a devastating attack on workers, on electricity customers, and on the investment climate in the US.

New England homeowners will feel this when they tear open their electricity bills and look at the surging costs of keeping the lights on.

This administration has it exactly backwards. It’s trying to prop up clunky, polluting coal plants while doing all it can to halt the fastest growing energy sources of the future – solar and wind power.

It makes no sense to say we have an energy emergency and then make decisions like this. Unfortunately, every American is paying the price for these misguided actions.

Tesla teases new product release on Friday

Tesla teases new product release on Friday

Tesla is teasing a new product release on Friday, August 29th, coming to Europe and the Middle East. It’s likely going to be the Model Y Performance.

On X today, Tesla has teased an upcoming product release coming this friday.

The post is cryptic. It only mentions ‘spoiler alert’ and the date August 29 with what looks like a close up of a vehicle with what appears to be a spoil – hence the “spoiler alert” reference:

There are main suspect is the Model Y Performance due to the spoiler reference.

Since the Model Y refresh in January, Tesla stopped selling the Model Y Performance. It is due to launch the top performance version under the new design.

When Tesla released the Model 3 refresh in 2024, it took about 4 months for Tesla to launch the new performance version.

Electrek’s Take

The only thing that I find strange with this likely being the Model Y Performance is the fact that they tweeted this from the Europe and Middle East account.

It would be strange for the Model Y Performance to launch there first, but who knows. Maybe Tesla started production at Gigafactory Berlin first.

I don’t think this will have a major impact on Tesla’s business. The Model Y Performance is the least popular version of the best-selling Model Y.

We don’t have the full mix of sales, but I wouldn’t be suprised if it represents less than 10% of Tesla’s Model Y deliveries.

The Model 3 Performance is probably a more popular option within the Model 3 lineup as it is a lot more fun to drive.

Genesis GV60 Magma EV sheds camo, revealing a radical new look [Video]

The GV60 Magma will have a distinct look and feel compared to other Genesis vehicles. As the first EV from its new performance sub-brand, the Genesis GV60 Magma will debut with enhanced power, advanced suspension, a sporty new design, and more. For the first time, it was caught on video racing around the Nürburgring, giving us our closest look yet.

Genesis GV60 Magma EV flexes new style at Nürburgring

We got our first look at the new Magma models last March at the NY Auto Show alongside the full-size Neolun concept.

Magma is “the brand’s expansion into the realm of high-performance vehicles,” Genesis boasted. Among the first vehicles to earn a Magma upgrade is the GV60.

Genesis fine-tuned the electric crossover SUV, giving it a wider and lower stance for improved control. The larger lower air intake contributes to the aggressive new look, while also serving to cool the batteries and motor, both of which have been upgraded for enhanced performance.

Earlier this year, we got a good look at the GV60 Magma during winter testing in Europe. Although you could see a few new design features, it was mostly covered in camo.

After it was recently spotted with less camo at the Nürburgring race track in Germany, we are getting an even better idea of what to expect when it arrives.

The video from CarSpyMedia shows the Genesis GV60 Magma EV with a production body and minimal camouflage.

You can see the high-performance vehicle flexing its power and handling as it rips around the track. Like other Hyundai Motor performance EVs, including the new IONIQ 6 N, you can expect the Genesis GV60 Magma to deliver over 600 horsepower, if not closer to 700.

The current Genesis GV60 Performance delivers up to 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, good for a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds.

Horsepower 0 to 60 mph

Starting Price
Genesis GV60 Performance 429 3.7 $69,900

1,092 2.1 $230,000
Tesla Model S Plaid 1,020 1.99 $89,990
Genesis GV60 Magma vs Porsche Taycan vs Tesla Model S Plaid

Genesis will launch the GV60 Magma EV later this year in Korea, followed by the US, Europe, and other global markets. We will learn prices and final specs closer to launch, but given the Performance models start at $69,900, you can expect a higher starting price tag, likely closer to $75,000.

At that it would be significantly less than the Porsche Taycan Turbo and Tesla Model S Plaid. Will it match the performance?
