We also spotted the GE Profile Smart Combo Electric Washer & Ventless Heat Pump Dryer that is back down in price at $2,200.

Plus, all the best hangover Green Deals from last week are in the links at the bottom of the page, collected together in our Electrified Weekly roundup coverage.

Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Lectric’s XPedition dual-battery e-bike provides cargo-hauling support up to 150 miles at $1,699 ($455 in free gear)

Heading back over to Lectric’s autumn sale, there’s still time to score the brand’s XPedition Dual-Battery Cargo e-bikes with $455 in free gear, including the limited-edition pink colorway for $1,699 shipped, which would normally cost you $2,154 in total. Along with a reliable and long-distance commuter solution, you’ll be getting all you need to maximize its cargo-hauling capabilities, with the bundle including rear-rack running boards and plush cushions for cargo and passengers, two XL pannier bags, an orbitor basket, and a 6L frame bag. You can learn more about the e-bike below, or check out our hands-on review.

Lectric’s XPedition Cargo e-bike is one of the best cargo-hauling models on the market at a significantly lower price than you’d expect, making it an affordable purchase for folks hoping to cart kids off to their appointments or even delivery workers in need of an e-bike that can go the distance. The 48V battery powers the 750W rear hub motor that provides top speeds of 20 MPH using only its throttle, or you can go as fast as 28 MPH when taking advantage of the five pedal assistance levels. This dual-battery model boasts an incredible 150-mile travel distance on a single charge, or if you want to save a little extra, you’ll find the standard model that provides a 75-mile travel distance at $1,399, and coming with $406 in free gear.

A notable design success here is the higher-than-normal 450-pound payload, which gives you significantly more room to play with in terms of rider weight vs. cargo/passenger weight – especially if you’re on the lower end of the weight spectrum, like me at 135 pounds. Aside from the free gear you’re getting from the bundle here, it also comes pre-stocked with hydraulic mineral oil brakes that are paired with 180mm rotors, custom puncture-resistant tires for added peace of mind no matter how rough the ride may get, as well as a headlamp, taillights, fenders over both wheels, and a backlit LCD display.

While there are a few models that have sold out during this ongoing sale, there are still a bunch of great e-bike bundle deals that you can take advantage of while they last, which you can browse in full on the landing page here.

Save space or double up with GE’s smart electric 2-in-1 washer & ventless heat pump dryer at $2,200

Best Buy is offering the GE Profile Smart Combo Electric Washer & Ventless Heat Pump Dryer for $2,199.99 shipped. Normally priced at $2,900, this unit hasn’t seen much by way of discounts over the year, but savings come in every so often. We spotted it hitting its lowest $1,749 price earlier in the year, but it’s spent most of the time since keeping well above $2,200. While it did sit for a short period at $2,000 back at the top of the month, you’re still looking at a solid $700 markdown here today. If you want to save a little more though, you can find it in an excellent open-box condition at $1,804.

I’ve been using this same model for several months now and I find it a very reliable washer & dryer option, especially as we have a bunch of cats running around our home and there has been an added benefit with one of its latest software updates. It now uses the airflow system to separate shed hair and dander from fabrics before the wash cycle starts, collecting it into the EZ access lint filter. Aside from that, there are plenty of other great benefits to adding it to your home, like the 2-in-1 design that can get through both washing and drying large capacity loads in two hours.

There’s also the ventless heat pump tech that not only “provides 50% more energy efficient airflow drying,” but also allows you to place it anywhere in your home (or double up for twice the efficiency), no longer dictated by where vents may be located. It boasts a wide array of smart features too, making life much easier as it updates itself regularly through your local Wi-Fi, while also providing status alerts and remote controls over its settings through the SmartHQ app.

Another of its big features that I’ve always appreciated in a washer unit is the SmartDispense tech that holds enough detergent and fabric softener for up to 32 loads before needing a refill. On top of that, you can also scan the barcode on your preferred detergent bottle so that the AI can adjust the dispensed amounts based on the brand and your load size. You can learn even more by heading below.

Worx Landroid robotic lawn mowers

Worx’s Landroid robotic lawn mowers are down at some of their lowest prices starting from $560

Amazon is offering discounts on three Worx Landroid Robotic Lawn Mowers, with the S 20V model starting at $559.99 shipped. More recently keeping near $900 instead of its original $1,000 MSRP, we’ve seen it getting plenty of discounts over 2024, beating out last year’s Black Friday sales in February when it fell to $589, followed by a fall further to $579 in June and hitting the $550 low first during July’s Prime Day event, which we saw repeat back at the top of this month. Today, you’re looking at the second-best price we have tracked, with the 44% markdown saving you $460 off its going rate.

Why work harder when you can get the work done smarter? Well, Worx’s Landroid S 20V robot mower is here to deliver the autonomous help you’re looking for, with this particular model covering up to 1/8 acres on a single charge (while its counterparts increase this coverage up to 1/2 acres, depending on the model). Driven by an advanced AI system that keeps it on its path, the floating blade disc can automatically lift to give the device more clearance when navigating the uneven sections of terrain in your yard, keeping it from getting trapped or stuck. Not only do you get the usual array of smart controls that you would expect, accessed through the companion app when connected to either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, but the 20V 2.0Ah battery is also part of the brand’s PowerShare ecosystem, letting you interchange it with other 20V, 40V, and 80V models in the family.

If you have a little more yard to cover, its two other models offer further support, with the M 20V Landroid covering a bit more area up to 1/4 acres at $719.99, while the 2024-updated L 20V Landroid can tackle even more up to 1/2 acres for $637.50 right now.

Anker SOLIX Halloween sale

Anker’s SOLIX C800 and C800 Plus power stations back at lowest prices from $399, with bundle options

Anker has launched a Halloween sale through November 3 that is giving folks another chance to score its SOLIX C800 and C800 Plus Portable Power Stations at their lowest prices, with the standard C800 model starting at $399 shipped. Normally priced at $599, we’ve been seeing a steady progression of discounts over the year so far on both models, with this particular unit down at $449 on average, though we have been seeing it hit the $399 low more often since first appearing back in September. You’re getting another chance to score this campsite companion at the lowest price we have tracked, saving you $200 in the process. You’ll also find this price matched over at Amazon.

Get the campsite, tailgate, and road trip backup power support you need with Anker’s SOLIX C800 power station, which delivers a 768Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity and a power output of up to $1,600W. There are 10 ports here to cover your charging needs, with five ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, and a single car port – plus, the full array of smart controls to monitor and adjust settings remotely. Plugging the power station into a standard wall outlet recharges the battery in just 58 minutes, or you can connect up to 300W of solar input to utilize its solar charging capabilities. There’s also a convenient on-board storage compartment on the top of the unit that can be used for your preferred gear or you can get the additional gear that comes when purchasing the C800 Plus model. You can also save some cash on its bundle options, getting you the power station with a 100W solar panel for $609, getting it with a 200W solar panel for $749, or getting a waterproof bag to protect it on your trips for $518.

The upgraded SOLIX C800 Plus power station is also down at its all-time low of $449. The extra $50 here delivers the station with two water-resistant LED camping lights that stow away inside the on-board storage I mentioned before. They provide three different lighting modes with an included retractable polearm that provides you with more versatility, acting as a hanger, a tripod, or even a selfie stick. It also comes with a bunch of bundle options, with the station coming with a 200W solar panel for $749, beating out the price to include a 100W panel by $70. You can also choose to get it with a waterproof bag for $568, or get the station with a 100W solar panel and an EverFrost Portable Cooler 30 for $1,449 (a $1,747 value).

Be sure to head over to the main page for Anker’s Halloween sale to check out all of its current offerings.

All the EVs (and one PHEV) you can buy with 0% financing in March 2025 [update]

All the EVs (and one PHEV) you can buy with 0% financing in March 2025 [update]

Lease deals get all the hype, but most people still want to own the car after they’re done making all those payments on it. If that sounds like you, and you’ve been waiting for the interest rates on auto loans to drop, you’re in luck: there are a bunch of great plug-in cars you can buy with 0% financing this March … and that includes a zero percent Tesla deal!

UPDATE: some American icons return to the list, and we’ve got more bonus cash offers, too!

I’ve done a couple of these now, so you probably already know that there were plenty of ways for me to present this information. “Best EVs ..?” Too opinion based. “Cheapest EVs ..?” Too much research. In the end, I went with alphabetical order, by make. And, as for which deals are new this month? You’re just gonna have to read the article. Enjoy!

Acura ZDX

2024 Acura ZDX; via Acura.

The 2024 Acura ZDX uses a GM Ultium battery and drive motors, but the styling, interior, and infotainment software are all Honda. That means you’ll get a solidly-built EV with GM levels of parts support and Honda levels of fit, finish, and quality control. All that plus Apple CarPlay and 0% financing for up to 72 months makes the ZDX one the best sporty crossover deals in the business.

All the electric Chevy EVs (again)

For the second month in a row, Chevrolet is offering 0% financing for up to 60 months on all three of its Ultium-based EVs – and they’re all winners. The Silverado is an incredibly capable pickup that can be spec’ed up to a 10,500 lb. GVWR, making it eligible for Class 3 incentives up to $30,000 in some markets and capable enough to tow whatever horse, boat, or RV you put behind it.

On the crossover side, both the Chevy Blazer EV and Equinox EV each offer their own takes on the five-passenger family SUV, with the cost of base model Equinox LT FWD models with 319 miles of EPA-rated range dropping to just $27,500 after you apply the $7,500 Federal tax credit (which, for now, is still a thing).

Dodge Charger EV

As the auto industry transitions to electric, Dodge is hoping that at least a few muscle car enthusiasts with extra cash, will find their way to a Dodge store and ask for the meanest, loudest, tire-shreddingest thing on the lot.

These days, that’s the new electric Charger – and you still owed money on the Hemi you just totaled, Dodge will help get the deal done on its latest retrotastic ride with a $3,000 rebate plus 0% financing for up to 72 months!

Ford Mustang Mach-E

This month, you can get a killer deal on a new 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E (shown, above). Through March 31st, you can get $2,500 in bonus cash, a free L2 home charger installed, plus 0% financing for up to 72 months. Tesla owners can also get an additional $1,000 in conquest cash, bringing the hood money total to $3,500.

Ford also announced a 0% financing deal plus $4,000 in bonus cash on the F-150 Lightning pickup, while Ford Pro customers buying an F-150 Lightning for their commercial or public fleet can get even better deals on the OG electric trucks.

GMC Hummer and Sierra Denali EV

2025 GMC SIERRA EV DENALI

The biggest Ultium-based EVs from GM’s commercial truck brand are seriously impressive machines, with shockingly quick acceleration and on-road handling that seems to defy the laws of physics once you understand that these are, essentially, medium-duty trucks. This month, GMC is doing its best to move out its existing inventory of 2024s, so if you’re a fan of heavy metal you’ll definitely want to stop by your local GMC dealer and give the Hummer EV and Sierra Denali EV a test drive.

Honda Prologue

Honda-Pologue-2025

Despite the Honda Prologue was one of the top-selling electric crossovers last year by combining GM’s excellent Ultium platform with Honda sensibilities and Apple CarPlay, Honda upgraded the 2025 model with slightly more EPA range. Even so, there’s still some remaining 2024 inventory out there and dealers are ready to deal (that’s what they do, after all). To make room for the 2025 models, Honda is offering 0% APR for up to 72 months on the remaining 2024s.

Hyundai IONIQ 5

Hyundai-IONIQ-5-world-record

Hyundai is still offering 0% financing for 60 months on all versions of the hot-selling 2024 IONIQ 5 crossover, making it hard to overlook in the five-passenger segment. It’s worth noting that Hyundai is also offering the 5 with $7,500 bonus cash in select markets, but that offer can’t be stacked with the 0%, so do some math before deciding which way you want to go.

All the Kia EVs

2024 Kia Niro EV; via Kia.

Kia’s EV6 and EV9 have been grabbing headlines and setting sales records sine the Kia EV6 shocked the world, making its global debut on a drag strip where the car ran against a Lamborghini, a Porsche, and an AMG Mercedes (and won). This month, however, it’s the Kia Niro EV’s turn to shine thanks to 0% financing on the fun, compact urban runabout for up to 60 months.

The Niro’s bigger siblings are getting the 0% treatment, too, for a longer 72 month term.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV; via Mitsubishi.

One of the first three-row plugin cars to hit the market (and a frequent addition to these 0% lists), Mitsubishi’s Outlander PHEV offers up to 38 miles of electric range from its 20 kWh li-ion battery, making it a great “lily pad” vehicle for suburban families who want to drive electric but still worry about being able to find a charging station when they need one.

Nissan Ariya

2024 Nissan Ariya; via Nissan.

I’ve already said that the Nissan Ariya didn’t get a fair shake. If you click that link, you’ll read about a car that offers solid driving dynamics, innovative interior design, and all the practicality that makes five-passenger crossovers the must-haves they’ve become for most families. With great discounts available at participating dealers, Supercharger access, and 0% interest from Nissan for up to 72 months, Nissan dealers should have no trouble finding homes for their remaining 2024 Ariya crossovers.

Subaru Soltera

Subaru Solterra
2023 Subaru Soltera; via Subaru.

Despite being something of a slow seller, this mechanical twin of the Toyota bZ4X EV seems like a solid mid-size electric crossover with some outdoorsy vibes and granola style that offers more than enough utility to carry your mountain bikes to the trail or your kayaks to the river. The company is hoping to help clear out its remaining 2024 models with big discounts and 0% financing for up to 72 months.

Tesla Model 3

Tesla Model 3 Highland Refresh
Model 3 Highland; via Tesla.

Say what you will about Elon Musk – and I say plenty over on the Quick Charge podcast – the fact remains that we wouldn’t be here talking about EVs at all if it wasn’t for his marketing brilliance, bravado, and sheer force of will. Beyond that, Tesla simply offers as superior ownership experience through total software integration, unfettered access to the Supercharger network, and the best EV route-planning software this side of Chargeway.

If you can stomach being associated with Elon (or have an inside line on some spare Honda badges), you can get a new Model 3 for 0% interest or 0.99% with $0 down if you apply the $7,500 Federal tax incentive at the point of purchase.

Volkswagen ID.4

Volkswagen-EVs-in-2023
VW ID.4; via Volkswagen.

One of the most popular legacy EVs, the ID.4 offers Volkswagen build quality and (for 2024) a Chat-GPT enabled interface. To keep ID.4 sales rolling, VW dealers are getting aggressive with discounts, making this fast-charging, 291 mile EPA-rated range, 5-star safety rated EV a value proposition that’s tough to beat.

This month, get a Volkswagen ID.4 with 0% financing for up to 72 months plus a $5,000 customer cash bonus to stack with it.

Disclaimer: the vehicle models and financing deals above were sourced from CarsDirectCarEdge, and (where mentioned) the OEM websites – and were current as of 09MAR2025. These deals may not be available in every market, with every discount, or for every buyer (the standard “with approved credit” fine print should be considered implied). Check with your local dealer(s) for more information.

Workhorse electric delivery vans arrive in Canada this spring

Workhorse electric delivery vans arrive in Canada this spring

Following approval from Transport Canada, EV startup Workhorse will be bringing the W56 and W750 model electric delivery vans to commercial truck dealers in Canada as early as this spring.

Workhorse first showed its W56 medium-duty electric truck at Indiana’s Work Truck Week in 2023, and has sold the trucks to logistics and delivery companies like FedEx and Pride Group – which ordered more than six thousand of the electric vans in 2021, and continues to expand its fleet.

“This is a major step forward for Workhorse,” says Josh Anderson, Workhorse’s chief technology officer in a press statement. “Pre-clearance from Transport Canada opens up a large new market for our products throughout Canada, including with fleets that operate across borders in North America.”

As part of the approval process, Workhorse completed its registration as a foreign manufacturer under Transport Canada’s Appendix G clearance program. Transport Canada confirmed the vans’ compliance with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) for both vehicles – but it remains to be seen if and how the latest tariff-driven trade war between the Trump Administration’s US and Canada will impact Workhorse’s plans to expand throughout North America.

Despite that uncertainty, Workhorse execs remain upbeat. “We’re excited that our electric step vans can now reach Canadian roads and highways, providing reliable, zero-emission solutions that customers can depend on,” added Anderson.

Canadian pricing has yet to be announced.

Electrek’s Take

FedEx Places First Order for 15 Workhorse W56 Step Vans to Grow Zero-Tailpipe Emission Fleet

There’s no other way to say it: the Trump/Musk co-presidency is disrupting a lot of companies’ plans – and that’s especially true across North American borders. But in all this chaos and turmoil there undoubtedly lies opportunity, and it will be interesting to see who ends up on top.

Liebherr developing giant, 140-ton Segway-style autonomous haulers [video]

Liebherr developing giant, 140-ton Segway-style autonomous haulers [video]

The new Liebherr S1 Vision 140-ton hauler is unlike any heavy haul truck currently on the market – primarily because the giant, self-propelled, single-axle autonomous bucket doesn’t look anything like any truck you’ve ever seen.

Liebherr says its latest heavy equipment concept was born from a desire to rethink truck design with a focus only on core functions. The resulting S1 Vision is primarily just a single axle with two powerful electric motors sending power to a pair of massive airless tires designed carry loads up to 131 tonnes (just over 140 tons).

The design enables rapid maintenance, as important components easily accessible for quick servicing. Wear parts can be replaced efficiently, and the electric drive significantly reduces maintenance work. This helps to minimise downtimes and increases operational efficiency.

LIEBHERR

Because of its versatility, durability, and ability to perform zero-turn maneuvers that other equipment simply can’t, the Liebherr S1 Vision can be adapted for various applications, including earthmoving, mining, and even agriculture. There’s also a nonzero chance of this technology finding applications supporting other on-site equipment through charging or fuel delivery.

The S1 accomplishes that trick safely with the help of an automatic load leveling system that ensures maximum stability, even on bumpy or rough terrain. The company says this technology significantly reduces the risk of tipping while providing smooth and secure operation across various environments.

Liebherr will show the S1 Vision at this year’s bauma equipment exhibition in Munich, Germany. The design has already been nominated for the bauma Innovation Award in the Mechanical Engineering category – and my money’s on it winning.

Electrek’s Take

This is such goofy, stupid fun that if it was wheelbarrow-sized I’d have three of them. I can’t imagine the insanity of watching one of these things roll across a job site with 100 tons of granite in the bucket – and will have nightmares about the kind of damage it could do if it flipped out like a poorly made Chinese hoverboard clone whipping a toddler across a living room … which, in fairness, would probably get a billion views on Instagram or TikTok or whatever.

I can’t wait.
