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.

Heybike’s Cityrun commuter e-bike carries you up to 55 miles of travel on a four-hour charge at $999 low

Looking back in on Heybike’s ongoing early Black Friday sale, we spotted another great deal on the brand’s Cityrun Urban Commuter e-bike for $999 shipped. Normally priced at $1,599, we mainly saw it fall to $1,199 during the first half of the year’s sales events, with that price dropping further to $1,099 as the months went on. During this Black Friday sale, you’re looking at the best rate we have seen so far, as it’s coming with a 38% markdown that slashes $600 off the price tag and lands it at the lowest price we have tracked. Along with your purchase, you’ll also be getting some free gear in the form of a large basket and a Black Friday gift pack.

Heybike’s Cityrun commuter e-bike arrives sporting a 500W brushless geared hub motor (peaking at 1,000W) and a large 720Wh battery that propels the model up to top speeds of 21 MPH with a 55-mile max travel range on one full four-hour charge (achieved thanks to the higher-power 4A charger). There are three levels of pedal assistance here supported by a torque sensor, which is nice to see, and it comes with some impressive features for its price range, with the usual cheaper options we see, like mechanical disc brakes, instead replaced by hydraulic disc brakes on top of the hydraulic suspension front fork too.

Heybike’s Cityrun e-bike also has a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, 26-inch by 2.5-inch tires with fenders over each, an automatic LED headlight and taillight with turn signals, a rear cargo rack, and a smart LCD display. While it does weigh in a bit hefty at 62 pounds, for the price it is a well-stocked option that won’t weigh so heavily on your wallet while providing a solid commuting solution for your daily life.

Amazon has ENGWE’s E26 dual suspension all-terrain e-bike hitting a new $849 low

Outside of ENGWE’s Black Friday sale, we just noticed Amazon offering the brand’s E26 Dual Suspension All-Terrain e-bike at $849 shipped. More recently sitting at $1,049 at Amazon despite its $1,299 price tag, as well as the $1,399 MSRP direct from ENGWE, we’ve mainly seen this model in 2024 dropping between $999 and $1,199 on average. We last saw prices down at $899 during ENGWE’s Halloween sale, which Amazon is beating out here today for a new all-time low price. This $550 markdown (off the full MSRP from ENGWE) is giving you the lowest price we have seen anywhere – with the brand’s Black Friday sale beaten by $50. You can learn more below or in our review.

You’ll find both the step-over and step-thru frames for ENGWE’s E26 e-bike benefitting from this discount today, with either model offering up an affordable means for longer commutes, depending on how you choose to ride. The 750W brushless motor peaks at 1,000W to provide up to 70Nm of torque for inclines while producing top speeds of 28 MPH. The removable 48V 16Ah battery sees to it that you get 30 to 40 miles while only using the throttle, or you can get up to 87 miles when utilizing the pedal assistance. There are also some surprisingly solid features considering the low price, with a dual suspension for smoother riding, hydraulic disc brakes for guaranteed stopping power, as well as an LED headlight and taillight, a 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, fat tires with fenders over each, a rear cargo rack, and a large LCD color display.

Be sure to also check out the lineup of ENGWE’s Black Friday sales, which overwhelmingly beats out Amazon’s pricing, excluding the above model.

Segway Ninebot E22

Segway’s Ninebot E22 electric scooter (with seat) is a reliable commuter that carries you up to 14 miles at $360

Amazon is offering the Segway Ninebot E22 Foldable Electric Scooter for $359.99 shipped. Normally priced at $640, but more recently fetching $570 on average, it’s mostly been seen keeping above $400 throughout the year, though we have seen a few previous falls lower to $378 and $360, on occasion. While it’s not as low as it was this same time last year, when it hit the $300 low, you’re looking at a solid $210 markdown to the lowest price we’ve tracked in 2024 and the second-lowest overall.

Not everyone wants to shell out tons of money to add an EV to their commute, and Segway’s Ninebot E22 is certainly a great choice. I’ve been riding this same model (albeit, without the included seat) since 2020 and it is still going strong despite my aggressive and semi-abusive riding on it. The 300W brushless DC motor is paired with a 184Wh battery to reach a 12.4 MPH top speed and carries you up to 13.7 miles on a single charge, with the addition of a Segway External Battery Pack (sold separately) bumping those numbers up to 15.5 MPH for up to 27 miles. There are three riding modes here – a cruise mode for lower speeds and extended travels, a normal mode for its standard settings, and a sports mode that bumps its speed to its maximum rate (while also handling inclines up to 15%) at the cost of some mileage.

EGO Power+ Nexus portable power station

Expand your EGO Power+ capabilities with the Nexus portable power station at a new $838 2024 low

Amazon is offering the EGO Power+ Nexus Portable Power Station with two 7.5Ah batteries for $837.85 shipped. Normally priced at $1,099, we’ve seen a few discounts drop over 2024, with minor falls above $1000 before July, at which point we’ve been seeing recurring discounts lower to $899. Today, we’re getting the best deal we’ve seen in a number of years as the price tag has had $261 cut from it, landing it at a new 2024 low price – just $38 above the all-time lowest rate we last saw in 2019.

This EGO Power+ power station utilizes the brand’s interchangeable batteries for power as an alternative to gas generators, giving you some expansive capabilities for your existing setup. 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. It can pump out up to 2,000W of power (peaking at 3,000W) through its three AC outlets and four USB ports to cover devices, appliances, and even run large holiday displays/decorations.

The first giant 15 MW turbine is up at Germany’s largest offshore wind farm

The first giant 15 MW turbine is up at Germany’s largest offshore wind farm

Germany’s largest offshore wind farm under construction, EnBW’s He Dreiht, just hit a big milestone: The first enormous turbine is now up in the North Sea.

He Dreiht – which means “it spins” in Low German – is using Vestas’s massive 15 megawatt (MW) turbines, the first project in the world to install them. Just one spin of one of the rotors can generate enough electricity to power four households for an entire day.

When it’s finished, He Dreiht will have 64 mega turbines cranking out 960 megawatts (MW) of clean power – enough to supply around 1.1 million homes. And it’s being built without any government subsidies.

EnBW, one of Germany’s major energy companies, has been working in offshore wind for more than 15 years, but He Dreiht is their biggest project yet. “It will play a key role in helping us to significantly grow our renewable energy output from 6.6 GW to over 10 GW by 2030,” said Michael Class, who heads up EnBW’s generation portfolio development.

The project is a win for Vestas, too. “With the installation of the first V236-15.0 MW, we have reached an important milestone for both the He Dreiht project and our offshore ramp-up, which helps Germany build a more secure, affordable, and sustainable energy system,” said Nils de Baar, president of Vestas Northern & Central Europe.

He Dreiht is located about 85 kilometers (53 miles) northwest of Borkum and 110 kilometers (68 miles) west of Helgoland. At peak times, more than 500 workers will be out at sea building the farm, using a fleet of more than 60 ships. EnBW’s offshore team in Hamburg is running the show.

The installation process is a major operation. The 64 foundations were already set in the seabed last year. Parts for the turbines are loaded onto the installation vessel Wind Orca in Esbjerg, Denmark, and shipped out in a 12-hour journey to the construction site. From there, the turbines are lifted into place. Meanwhile, crews are also working on internal wind farm cabling.

A partner consortium made up of Allianz Capital Partners, AIP, and Norges Bank Investment Management owns 49.9% of the shares in He Dreiht.

Tesla gives update on Tesla Semi factory, says on track for volume production in 2026

Tesla gives update on Tesla Semi factory, says on track for volume production in 2026

Tesla Semi factory hero

Tesla has released a quick update about its Tesla Semi factory in Nevada. It says that it is on track for volume production of the electric semi truck in 2026.

The Tesla Semi was first scheduled to go into production in 2019, but it has faced numerous delays.

Now, it appears that there is finally some momentum to bring it to volume production.

For the last two years, Tesla has been working to build a new factory next to Gigafactory Nevada, where it builds the battery packs and drive units for most of its electric vehicles built in North America.

Today, Tesla released a “progress update on the factory, confirming that it finished building and it’s now working on deploying the production lines:

Tesla had previously mentioned aiming for volume production by 2025, but it is now only talking about starting production toward the end of the year and ramping up next year.

The automaker reiterated its planned production capacity of 50,000 units.

We recently reported that an early Tesla Semi customer, Ryder, stated that the electric truck program is experiencing more delays and a price increase described as “dramatic.”

They now expect to take deliveries of their first trucks later in 2026 and said that the price has increased “dramatically,” leading them to scale back their pilot program from 42 to 18 Tesla Semi trucks.

When originally unveiling the Tesla Semi in 2017, the automaker mentioned prices of $150,000 for a 300-mile range truck and $180,000 for the 500-mile version. Tesla also took orders for a “Founder’s Series Semi” at $200,000.

However, Tesla didn’t update the prices when launching the “production version” of the truck in late 2022. Price increases have been speculated, but the company has never confirmed them.

Vietnamese solar giant Boviet opens first US factory in North Carolina

Vietnamese solar panel maker Boviet Solar just opened the doors to its first US factory — a huge new PV module plant in Greenville, North Carolina.

The company dropped $294 million into the state-of-the-art facility, which will pump out Boviet’s Gamma Series monofacial and Vega Series bifacial solar panels. They’re using advanced PERC and N-Type solar cell tech, which basically means these panels are built to deliver higher efficiency and better performance across residential, commercial, industrial, and utility-scale projects.

The Greenville factory’s first phase is now online with an annual PV module output capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). For Phase 2, which is scheduled to come online in the second half of 2026, Boviet will invest another $100 million to add 600,000 square feet and ramp up to another 2 GW. It will make high-efficiency solar cells.

Once both phases are complete, Boviet’s campus will cover more than 1 million square feet of manufacturing and R&D space. It’s one of the biggest clean energy manufacturing projects North Carolina has ever seen.

The jobs impact is significant, too. The first phase will create 460 skilled local jobs. Phase 2 is expected to add another 908, bringing the total to over 1,300 direct jobs, plus nearly 2,000 more indirect jobs across the region. That’s good news for Pitt County’s economy, real estate market, and workforce training programs.

“This facility is not just creating jobs, but creating opportunity, innovation, and a stronger foundation for eastern North Carolina,” said Senator Kandie Smith. Governor Josh Stein added that Boviet Solar’s move shows how North Carolina is leading the way in clean energy growth.
