Tenways early access Black Friday sale takes $600 off the 37-pound CGO600 Pro e-bike at new $1,299 low

Tenways has given riders early access to its Black Friday pricing, taking up to $600 off its lineup of e-bikes and giving away free gear too, with the biggest of these discounts being on its belt-drive CGO600 Pro e-bike for $1,299 shipped, while the new 8-speed chain-drive model is down at $1,399 shipped. This model is usually priced at $1,899 most days and we’ve seen a few different discounts drop the price since its release back towards the end of 2023, often to $1,499 or higher, though there have been a few falls to $1,399. You can take advantage of this early $600 markdown now and save yourself the trouble of typical Black Friday concerns while it’s down at a new all-time low price – plus, you’re also getting free mudguards and a kickstand valued at $118. Head below to learn more about this lightweight commuter, or read our hands-on review.

The 37-pound Tenways CGO600 Pro e-bike is an ideal fit for riders who enjoy active cycling, but want some added electric support, which is provided by the 350W rear hub motor and 360Wh battery. As there is no throttle for pure electric cruising, the battery comes in smaller than normal, also contributing to the lessened weight, among other design factors, but you’ll still get four levels of pedal-assisted boosts (utilizing a torque sensor) up to a top speed of 20 MPH for up to 53 miles.

The lower-priced model includes the Gates carbon belt drive, providing quieter operation while also tossing out any concerns you may have over rusting. On the other side of the design is Tenways’ new 8-speed CGO600 Pro-C e-bike that trades in the belt drive for an 8-speed Shimano drivetrain and upgrades the motor to the brand’s new Tenways C9 350W rear hub model, offering the same performance as before. Both of these e-bikes come with the same stock of commendable features, including internally routed cables for a streamlined look, LED lighting, puncture-proof tires, Tektro dual-piston hydraulic brakes, and a compact OLED display for controls.

Tenways Black Friday e-bike deals:

  • CGO800S Step-Thru Commuter e-bike: $1,499 (Reg. $1,999)
    • 20 MPH for up to 53 miles
    • Turn-signaling and color display

Lectric Halloween flash sale

Lectric’s flash sale takes up to $446 off e-bike bundles from $999 with mystery gifts through Halloween

Lectric has launched its 48-hour Spooky Sale that ends along with the month, offering larger bundles of free gear (including two mystery gifts) with your purchase from a selection of the brand’s e-bikes. One of the best options among the bunch is the XP 3.0 Long-Range e-bikes that are getting $438 in free gear for $1,199 shipped. Normally this bundle would cost you $1,637, but as is common in these sales, the savings are entirely on the free included goodies. You’ll be getting a front rack, a small basket to go on it, and a larger basket for the rear rack, along with a bottle-shaped bike lock and its appropriate bottle holder, as well as the pair of bonus mystery gifts that you’ll get with your order.

The three versions of Lectric’s XP 3.0 long-range e-bikes all come with the same 500W hub motor that is powered by the internal 48V battery. Utilizing the five pedal assistance levels on these models provides a travel range of up to 65 miles on a single charge (30 miles when only using the throttle), with speeds topping out at 20 MPH. Along with the add-on gear that you’ll be getting to expand its carrying capabilities, you’ll also get a bunch of stock features that are really hard to beat at such a low price, with the integrated rear cargo rack, puncture-resistant tires, and 180mm hydraulic disc brakes as particular highlights. That’s not all though, as you’ll also enjoy having the headlight, taillight, and LCD display – plus, its body folds up to make storing and transporting it far less of a hassle.

The Lectric ONE e-bike with $446 in free gear

XP 3.0 Standard e-bikes with $423 in free gear

XP Trike with $393 in free gear

First discounts save up to $100 on Anker’s SOLIX C300 solar generator bundles with 60W panels from $240

Coming through Anker’s official Amazon storefront, we just spotted the first discounts on the brand’s SOLIX C300 90,000mAh solar generator bundles that include a 60W panel, with the DC model’s bundle at $239.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $60 off coupon, while the AC model’s bundle is going for $269.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $100 off coupon. These two package deals are priced at $300 and $370, respectively, with these deals being the first chance to score them with cash savings, giving you a 20% and 27% markdown while allowing you to take advantage of the units’ solar charging capabilities.

Anker’s two new SOLIX C300 power stations arrive in a far more compact form factor that weighs in from six to nine pounds, with both delivering a 90,000mAh/288Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity. The DC model provides up to 300W output speeds, with its two bi-directional 140W USB-C ports able to work together to achieve 280W self-recharging speeds. There are seven ports in total with this unit, as well as an integrated LED light that pops out of its top to illuminate dark spaces, whether indoor or outdoor. The AC model throws out the dual-USB recharging to reach similar speeds as the DC when plugged into your wall outlet, sporting three AC ports, as well as three USB-Cs, one USB-A, and a car port. It doesn’t sport a pop-up light but does feature a light bar above its display.

If you would instead prefer a bundle that gives you these station’s full 100W solar input over the above 60W bundles, you’ll find those options coming only direct from Anker, with the DC bundle currently at $379, down from $499, while the AC bundle is at $409, down from $549. You can also check out the entirety of Anker’s direct Halloween sale here, which ends November 3.

Worx 80V Nitro LEAFJET Backpack Blower

Worx’s 80V Nitro LEAFJET cordless electric backpack blower delivers 800 CFM at $400 low (Today only)

As part of its large Deals of the Day collection, Best Buy is offering the Worx 80V Nitro LEAFJET Cordless Electric Backpack Leaf Blower for $399.99 shipped. Normally fetching $700 most days, while we have been seeing fluctuating prices on this tool over the year, it’s mostly kept above $549 until more recently. Over the summer we saw prices come down and level out around $500, with Prime Day at the top of this month bringing costs down further to the $400 low, which is repeating again here today. You’re looking at a solid $300 being slashed from the price tag, giving you the opportunity to score it for your arsenal at the lowest price we have seen. You’ll also find this same model matched in price over at Amazon.

The Nitro LEAFJET blower from Worx comes powered by four 20V 4.0Ah Power Share batteries that can be interchanged with other tools in the brand’s ecosystem. Its brushless motor delivers 800 CFM of air volume, pushing airflow up to 150 MPH worth of force to more easily clear out leaves and debris in your yard and around your home. It features a variable speed control which is pretty standard, but also includes a turbo mode when you need the extra power, with all this adding better handling while its compact design allows more versatility among folks of different sizes. It comes with a base camp power source that can not only be removed but also charges all four batteries while being compatible with other Worx 80V tools.

CGO600 Pro e-bike

Get a reliable clean in compact form with Greenworks’ 1,900 PSI electric pressure washer kit at $100 (Today Only)

Coming through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the popular Greenworks 1900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Combo Kit for $99.99 shipped. This one-day-only discount is bringing costs down from the usual $220 price tag, joining with the trend we’ve been seeing this year where these limited sales have become the most frequent way to get major cash savings. The deal today saves you a solid $120 and lowers the price to the third-lowest rate we have tracked – just $10 above the all-time low that we last saw in September. The closest to this deal that you can find on Amazon delivers lesser PSI strength without as much gear and for a higher $140 price.

This electric pressure washer from Greenworks is one of the best models if you also desire compact portability, tossing out the heavier frames of counterpart washers while still delivering a reliable 1,900 PSI at a 1.2 GPM flow rate. The washer itself will continue saving you money over time as the brand’s Total Stop System shuts off the pump upon the trigger being disengaged to save energy and extend the pump’s lifespan. You’ll also be getting more gear with this kit than the normal combo, with 20 feet of non-marring hose, four varying nozzles that have their own convenient storage spots, and a surface cleaner attachment that boosts its cleaning potential.

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.

Los Angeles’ power supply is now officially coal-free

Los Angeles' power supply is now officially coal-free

Los Angeles coal

Los Angeles has officially cut ties with coal. City officials say the Intermountain Power Project (IPP) in Utah – the last coal-fired power plant supplying the US’s second-largest city – went offline just before Thanksgiving.

IPP’s two massive units had a combined capacity of around 1,800 megawatts (MW) when fully operational, and as recently as 2024, they still supplied around 11% of LA’s electricity. The plant sits in Utah’s Great Basin region and powered Southern California for decades. Now, for the first time, none of LA’s power comes from coal.

There’s a political hiccup with IPP, though: the Republican-controlled Utah Legislature blocked the Intermountain Power Agency from fully retiring the coal units this year, ordering that they can’t be disconnected or decommissioned. But despite that mandate, no buyers have stepped forward to keep the outdated coal units online.

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is transitioning to newly built, hydrogen-capable generating units at the same IPP location, part of a modernization effort called IPP Renewed. These new units currently run on natural gas, but they’re designed to burn a blend of natural gas and up to 30% green hydrogen, and eventually 100% green hydrogen. LADWP plans to start adding green hydrogen to the fuel mix in 2026.

“L.A.’s coal divestment is not just about discontinuing the use of coal to power our city – it’s about building a clean energy economy that benefits every Angeleno. This milestone will further accelerate our transition to 100 percent clean energy by 2035,” said Mayor Karen Bass.

To reach that goal, LA is investing heavily in solar, wind, battery storage, and local programs that expand rooftop solar and energy efficiency.

One of the city’s biggest milestones was reached in August with the completion of the Eland Solar-plus-Storage Center – a massive project that pairs 758 megawatts of solar with 300 MW/1,200 MWh of battery storage. It’s one of the largest solar-plus-storage plants in the country, capable of powering more than 260,000 Los Angeles households. Bringing Eland online helped push LADWP’s power supply past 60% clean energy in 2025.

Kia’s small EV drops its camo, plus a sneak peek at the interior [Video]

Kia's small EV drops its camo, plus a sneak peek at the interior [Video]

Kia-EV2-spotted-camo

Kia’s most affordable electric SUV will be here in just over a month. Ahead of its debut, the EV2 was spotted with light camo, offering our best look yet.

Kia EV2 looks more like an SUV with less camo

Just days after Kia confirmed the EV2 will debut at the Brussels Motor Show on January 9, 2026, the small electric SUV was spotted in Europe with barely any camo.

The EV2 is a fully electric B-segment SUV set to be Kia’s new entry-level EV. It will sit below the EV3, which is already the UK’s most popular retail electric vehicle and among the top-sellers in Europe.

“With the EV2, we reaffirm our commitment to make electric mobility truly accessible to a broader audience,” Kia Europe president and CEO, Marc Hedrich, said earlier this month.

Despite its compact size, the EV2 looks and feels much bigger in person. It has a similar high-riding, blocky design as Kia’s latest electric SUVs, such as the EV5 and three-row EV9.

In the teaser images Kia posted a few days ago, the EV2 was shown under a drape with a design that looked nearly identical to the EV2 Concept from earlier this year.

Now, we can finally confirm it. The Kia EV2 was recently spotted in Europe in light camo, rocking a tall, SUV-like stance. The latest image from KindelAuto gives us a solid look at its profile, which still resembles a mini EV5 or EV9.

Kia will begin EV2 production alongside the EV4 hatch at its Zilina, Slovakia, plant shortly after its debut at the Brussels Motor Show next month, ramping up output throughout 2026.

Although Kia has yet to reveal specifics, the EV2 is expected to be about 4,000 mm (157″) long, or slightly smaller than the EV3 at 4,300 mm (169.3″). It will be closer in size to the Hyundai Inster EV.

Prices are expected to start at around €30,000 ($35,000) in Europe, given that the EV3 starts at about €36,000 ($42,000).

A new video from HealerTV offers a glimpse of the interior. Although the EV2 concept included sliding benches, detachable seats, cushions, and other innovative features to unlock more space, the interior looks more like Kia’s latest EVs, such as the EV3, EV4, and EV5.

You can see it has a standard armrest and a separate storage spot, similar to the EV5. The door handles are about the same as those in the EV3 and EV4.

Although it’s just a preview since the windows were covered, the second row looks about the same as the EV3. The reporter mentioned a “family look” similar to Kia’s other electric vehicles.

The compact electric SUV is expected to ride on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, with similar battery pack options as the EV3. The EV3 is available with 58.3 kWh and 81.4 kWh battery options, delivering a WLTP range of 410 km (255 miles) and 560 km (348 miles), respectively.

The EV2 will debut at the Brussels Motor Show on January 9, 2026. Kia will hold a press conference at 10:40 am CET to introduce the new entry-level EV. Check back for updates leading up to the event.

For those in the US, sadly, the EV2 is not expected to make the trip overseas. However, Kia is offering generous discounts of over $10,000 off its current EV lineup.

Nissan is shopping for partners to build EVs, with one major caveat

Nissan is shopping for partners to build EVs, with one major caveat

Nissan-EV-partner

Nissan is looking for a partner to co-develop new EVs with as it struggles to turn things around, but only on one condition.

Nissan is still looking for EV partners

After its plans with Honda fell through earlier this year, Nissan is still hoping to find a partnership to build next-generation EVs.

As part of its recovery plan, Re:Nissan, the automaker has already announced significant job cuts, factory closures, and other extreme measures to cut costs as it looks to return to profitability.

Nissan has been actively seeking new partnerships, but it won’t settle for “just a transaction.” Speaking to Automotive News at an event earlier this month, Ponz Pandikuthira, chief product and planning officer for Nissan Americas, said that although it was open to partnering, it would have to be a two-way street.

“We would not engage with a partner just to buy a vehicle, or platform, or piece of tech,” Pandikuthira said, adding, “That’s what makes it a long-term commitment instead of just a transaction.”

Pandikuthira suggested Nissan is already in talks with several potential partners, including Honda and Mitsubishi. Sources told Automotive News in October that Nissan was in discussions with Ford and Stellantis to supply a new electrified SUV based on the Rogue.

The sources claimed the electrified Rogue would use Nissan’s new e-POWER hybrid system. According to Pandikuthira, Nissan could also use the next-gen Frontier platform, set to underpin the new Pathfinder.

So what would the partnership look like? The product and planning boss said it could involve automakers either buying the technology or Nissan building rebadged vehicles, but the partner would still need to use its tech. It would be a two-way commitment, not just a transaction.

Either way, Nissan will need to move quickly. It already cut the Ariya electric SUV from its 2026 lineup in the US, and is reportedly struggling to sell the new LEAF.

We know we need economies of scale for an EV, and we would be open to a discussion with another partner to jointly develop an EV,” Pandikuthira stressed. That could involve a family of SUVs, Nissan’s product boss suggested.

Electrek’s Take

Starting at $29,990 with over 300 miles of range, Nissan says the 2026 LEAF has “the lowest starting MSRP for any new EV currently on sale in the US.” If it’s already having a tough time selling the low-cost LEAF EV, it could be a long road ahead for Nissan.

Like Hyundai and General Motors, which announced plans to co-develop five new vehicles, combining resources with a new partnership could help Nissan reduce development costs, leverage new tech, and achieve economies of scale.

What are your thoughts on a Nissan EV partnership? Which company would be the best fit? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
