Lastly, we have the EGO Power+ Nexus Portable Power Station falling to a new annual low price too at $838. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s Black Friday release of Lectric’s new XPedition 2.0 Cargo e-bikes, Bluetti’s Black Friday changeups, and more.

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.

Slate poaches key Tesla manufacturing leader to build its electric pickup truck

Slate poaches key Tesla manufacturing leader to build its electric pickup truck

Slate Auto, a new EV startup backed by Jeff Bezos, has poached a key Tesla manufacturing leader to build its electric pickup truck factory in Indiana.

Napoleon Reyes is a US Marine from Indiana who got a degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue after leaving the force.

He then worked a few years at Subaru and Wabash before joining Tesla’s manufacturing team at the Fremont Factory in 2020.

There, he became part of the Model Y production ramp and was quickly promoted to lead the Model Y General Assembly in Fremont in 2022.

Reyes led Model Y GA, one of the most critical parts of vehicle manufacturing, for more than a year before being promoted again to lead new pilot processes at the factory.

Most recently, he led the launch of the general assembly line for the Model Y refresh.

The new engineering manager announced this week that he is leaving Tesla to join Slate:

A bit late on the post but after nearly 5 years working at Tesla in Fremont, I made the difficult decision to leave the Company and move closer to home with my family. It was an incredible experience being part of multiple line expansions and multiple Model Y program launches. Leading and managing the Model Y Refresh launch for GA in Fremont this year tested me professionally however we ultimately succeeded due to our amazing cross functional team collaboration. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with such great people, and I will forever be proud and thankful for everything we accomplished together.

I will be taking on a new role as Senior Manager, Plant Vehicle Engineering at Slate Auto in Warsaw, In.

Slate emerged from stealth mode earlier this year to unveil a new type of electric pickup truck featuring modular customization and an affordable price.

The company raised over $700 million through two rounds of investments from several different investors, including Jeff Bezos. It is currently raising more, which basically guarantees that it will be able to reach production.

The startup acquired a former printing plant in Warsaw, Indiana. It is currently converting to manufacture its electric pickup with a team from legacy automakers and also several former engineers and leaders from Tesla.

Rich Schmidt, an early Tesla manufacturing director, is the head of manufacturing.

Genesis GV90 coach door system revealed in new patent

Genesis GV90 coach door system revealed in new patent

Genesis-GV90-coach-door-patent

Genesis is preparing to shake things up with its most luxurious SUV yet, the GV90. Thanks to a new patent filing, we are getting a detailed look at how its Rolls-Royce-style coach doors will work.

New patent reveals Genesis GV90 coach door system

When Genesis first unveiled the full-size SUV at the NY Auto Show last March, it wasn’t the stunning design or advanced tech that caught everyone’s attention. It was the coach doors.

Although we were worried it wouldn’t make it to the production model, like many concepts, the Genesis GV90 will be offered with coach doors.

The ultra-luxe electric SUV was first caught with coach doors earlier this year on a car carrier in South Korea. Just last month, the GV90 was spotted in California with a hinge at the rear to open the coach doors.

After several new patents were filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for new door latching devices, we are getting a sneak peek at how they are expected to work.

The patents, titled “Cinching Device For Door Latches in Vehicle,” and “Door Latch Device for Vehicles,” give a pretty detailed explanation of how the Genesis GV90’s coach doors will operate. The “Door Latch Device” uses a door striker on the lower side of the door, which is opened or closed by a hinge unit.

Unlike traditional doors, which use the B-pillar for support, the device is attached directly to the door itself, allowing for hinge-like movement.

The cinching device works in a similar way. It’s also attached to the door and part of the vehicle. However, unlike most of its kind, Genesis found a way to use a single cinching device to control multiple units. Again, the device is used for B-pillarless doors that swing open.

Genesis already said that B-pillarless coach doors are now feasible in production vehicles. The patent reveals a glimpse into how the luxury automaker could make it a reality.

Although the Genesis GV90 is expected to be offered with coach doors, they will likely not be standard. Other variants, with traditional door handles, have also been spotted testing in the US and South Korea.

Genesis is expected to launch the GV90 in mid-2026. It will be built at Hyundai’s Ulsan plant in South Korea. The flagship Genesis SUV is scheduled to debut on Hyundai’s new eM platform, which the company said will “provide 50% improvement in driving range.” It will also be loaded with the latest technology, software, connectivity, and Level 3 or higher autonomous driving capabilities.
