We’ve got three big Holiday sales for today’s Green Deals, with MOD’s savings event offering a 10% sitewide discount across its e-bikes, with the popular Easy 3 e-bike even hitting a new $2,159 low. Cruising up right behind it is Segway’s December savings that is taking up to 60% off its EVs, spotlighting the new ZT3 Pro All-Terrain KickScooter that has returned to its $950 low for the first time since its pre-order launch deal. Lastly, we have the 2024 Discover Samsung sale that has dropped its Bespoke AI Combo All-in-One Electric Washer and Ventless Dryer to $1,999 with $273 in bonus savings. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s Lectric Holiday sale deals, Anker’s PowerCore Reserve low, 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.

MOD Bikes started November with its month-long savings that saw massive price cuts up to $1,300 ($1,100 of which were permanent), and the brand is back with its Holiday sale through December 25 with some lower prices across its lineup of e-bikes thanks to a 10% sitewide discount. Its most popular model (and my personal favorite), the Easy 3 e-bike is undercutting its Black Friday pricing at $2,159.10 shipped, after clipping the on-page 10% off coupon. Carrying a new $2,399 price tag since November (down from its original $3,499), we saw the brand’s Black Friday savings drop costs to $2,199, but today you’re looking at a new all-time low price that beats out its former one-time low by $40.

I have been gushing about MOD’s Easy 3 e-bike since I first saw it, as the motorcycle-inspired design truly stands out on the market compared to the typical e-bikes we see from big brands and I have been loving mine now for over a month. The 750W rear brushless geared hub motor peaks up at 1,000W and comes powered by a removable 720Wh MOD Samsung Powerpack battery that works alongside the five levels of PAS (upgraded with a torque sensor that really makes a huge difference from past iterations). You’ll get up to 50 miles of PAS support at full charge, propelling your rides up to 28 MPH top speeds.

The high-quality stock features only make the riding experience that much more fun. There’s the integrated LED headlight and taillight that offers brake lighting, a dual suspension, hydraulic disc brakes, multi-terrain tires, and a 7-speed Shimano ALTUS derailleur – all adding to the comfort of the ride. But that’s not all as you’ll also enjoy a rear cargo rack, a saddle that is much wider and sturdier than average, fenders over both wheels, a thumb throttle for pure electric action (at the cost of mileage), a bell, and a solid S3 smart color display that even has a USB port to charge your devices. There’s even some added security as you can use a password to lock the bike when its not in use, which is definitely needed in a world where theft seems to be a popular way of life.

MOD Holiday sale

And what’s more, there is the MOD Easy SideCar 3 e-bike that that features the SideCar attachment for the model, currently down at $3,509.10 shipped, after clipping the on-page 10% off coupon. It has a 150-pound payload for riders, though it was more designed to give your canine friends a place to sit through the adventures. Sitting at the same price thanks to the 10% discount is the brand’s newest Easy SideCar Sahara which features an upgraded sidecar attachment complete with added storage racks, lights, a removable seat belt, and a rear doggie door to give easier access to your older dogs.

Segway Ninebot Holiday sale

Segway’s Holiday sale drops new ZT3 Pro fully-loaded all-terrain kickscooter to $950 low

Segway’s Holiday sale is bringing back Black Friday lows with up to 60% being taken off its EVs through December 27. One notable inclusion this time around is the brand’s new ZT3 Pro All-Terrain eKickScooter for $949.99 shipped. Normally priced at $1,300 since it hit the market two months ago, we’ve only seen two previous discounts since, the pre-order launch special that dropped costs to $950 followed by a Black Friday price cut to $1,100. Today, you’re looking at a second chance to score a 27% markdown here, cutting $350 off the price tag and dropping costs to the lowest price we have seen anywhere. You can get a full rundown on what to expect through our original launch coverage or head below.

Segway’s new ZT3 Pro electric scooter cruises across any terrain your journeys take you at top speeds of 24.9 MPH thanks to the 1,600W brushless motor that provides enough torque to conquer inclines up to 25% with ease. The 597Wh battery here is supported by RideyLong tech with an advanced controller algorithm that extends its travel capacity “by up to 20%,” lending to the 43.5 miles it carries you on a single 4-hour charge while in Eco Mode (18.6 miles when kicked into its high-powered Sport mode). Segway has even taken sudden needs to travel into consideration, giving it the ability the provide 6.2 miles off just 30 minutes of charging if you really need to get going.

Rider safety, stability, and comfort have been one of the main focuses of this model too, as it has been given plenty of features to support smoother and more controlled riding, like the full suspension frame, 6 inches of clearance from the ground, a pair of 11-inch all-terrain tubeless tires, as well as a Segride stability enhancement system that works alongside its Traction Control System. It boasts an IPX5 waterproof designation (with the battery rated IPX7) and even eco-friendly ASA thermoplastic that is easy to replace if damaged – plus, tons of smart features, like Apple Find My, and lighting too, which you can check out in full by reading our in-depth launch coverage.

Samsung Bespoke AI Combo washer and dryer

Upgrade chores with Samsung’s Bespoke AI Combo all-in-one washer/ventless dryer at $1,999 (Save $1,598)

As part of its 2024 Discover Samsung sale, the brand is offering its Bespoke AI Laundry Combo all-in-one electric washer/ventless dryer for $1,999 shipped. This appliance carries a full price tag of $3,324, with most of the brand’s sales dropping costs down around $2,199, with a few occasional drops lower to $1,999 and one previous fall further to $1,899. Not only can you save $1,325 off the going rate to score the second-lowest price we have tracked direct from Samsung, but you’ll also get some bonus savings in the form of a $100 credit, a 2-year Samsung Care+ plan for $1 (normally $149), and free installation – all valued at $273 for a total $1,598 in savings. You can also find an open-box option for $1,599.20 shipped on the same page if you’re looking for a way to shave off more from the cost.

This all-in-one ENERGY STAR appliance from Samsung utilizes AI to take the hassle off of laundry management while also increasing its energy efficiency, as it will identify and adjust settings depending on different fabric types and their soil levels. On top of this, its dual-inverter heat pump tech pairs with the AI systems to calculate and predict your electricity costs to “reduce energy usage by up to 19%.” Another of its notable features (prominently displayed in its name) is the ventless design that gives you far more freedom to place it wherever is most convenient in your home, no longer needing to keep it next to a dedicated exhaust vent.

The detergent tank here sports a much larger capacity, holding up to 47 loads worth of detergent so you don’t have to regularly worry about filling and refilling in between laundry loads – plus, it also has a Flex One compartment that takes that convenience to the next level as it can be split between 25 loads of detergent and 34 loads of softener. It’s also been given self-cleaning and self-drying tech to keep laundry coming out fresh, smart controls via the SmartThings app (as well as hands-free voice controls), the EPA’s seal of approval, and much more.

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi Fuso and Ample to partner on battery-swapping technology for electric trucks

Mitsubishi is partnering with Ample and Yamoto Transports to deploy an innovative new battery swap network for electric cars in its Japanese home market — but it’s not just for electric cars. Mitsubishi Fuso commercial trucks are getting in on the action, too!

Despite a number of early EV adopters with an overdeveloped concept of ownership, battery swap technology has proven to be both extremely effective and extremely positive to the overall EV ownership experience. And when you see how simple it is to add hundreds of miles of driving in just 100 seconds — quicker, in many cases, than pumping a tank of liquid fuel into an ICE-powered car — you might come around, yourself.

That seems to be what Mitsubishi thinks, anyway, and they’re hoping they’ll be your go-to choice when it’s time to electrify your regional and last-mile commercial delivery fleet(s) by launching a multi-year pilot program to deploy more than 150 battery-swappable commercial electric vehicles and 14 modular battery swapping stations across Tokyo, where the company plans to showcase its “five minute charging” tech in full view of hundreds of commercial fleets and, crucially, the executives of the companies that own and manage them.

How battery swap works for electric trucks

A truck like the Mitsubishi eCanter typically requires a full night of AC charging to top off its batteries, and at least an hour or two on DC charging in Japan, according to Fuso. This joint pilot by Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks, and Ample aims to circumvent this issue of forced downtime with its swappable batteries, supporting vehicle uptime by delivering a full charge within minutes. The move is meant to encourage the transport industry’s EV shift while creating a depository of stored energy that can be deployed to the grid in the event of a natural disaster — something Mitsubishi in Japan has been working on for years.

Trucks like the eCanter already serve a number of roles throughout the global truck market, including municipal waste collection, regional delivery support, and more.

The pilot is backed by Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s “Technology Development Support Project for Promoting New Energy,” with local delivery operator Yamato Transport testing swappable EVs for delivery operations on both its eCanter light-duty trucks and Mitsubishi Minicab kei-class electric vans.

Electrek’s Take

Electrifying the commercial truck fleet is a key part of decarbonizing city truck fleets – not just here in the US, but around the world. I called the eCanter, “a great product for moving stuff around densely packed city streets,” and eliminating the corporate fear of EV charging in the wild just makes it an even better product for that purpose.

Here’s hoping we see more “right size” electric solutions like this one (and more battery swapping tech) in small towns and tight urban environments stateside somewhat sooner than later.

Opel Grandland Blitz AWD electric SUV should give US Jeep fans hope

Opel Grandland Blitz AWD electric SUV should give US Jeep fans hope

Conquering New Terrain: The Opel Grandland Electric AWD

After becoming the first European brand to offer fully electric versions of every model it sells — and at the same price as the ICE models — Opel is going even further, with a new, AWD electric SUV that should give American Jeep fans hope for a new electric Cherokee!

Now part of the Stellantis, rather than GM portfolio of brands, Rüsselsheim-based Opel showed off the first official pictures of its new Opel Grandland Electric AWD — the company’s first all-electric SUV to feature the “Blitz” performance emblem and all-wheel drive.

“Our top-of-the-range Grandland SUV is a milestone for Opel,” says Opel CEO Florian Huettl. “Customers already have a choice of battery-electric drive, plug-in hybrid and hybrid with 48-volt technology. We are now offering even more choice with the Grandland Electric AWD and thus ensuring that our customers can enjoy maximum efficiency and safety in diverse weather and road conditions, combined with plenty of driving fun.”

Stellantis gets it right in Europe

Opel says its new, AWD Grandland is its most aerodynamically efficient model yet, with a drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0.278. That efficiency, paired with similarly efficient electric motors and a 73 kWh li-ion NMC battery give the electric crossover a 501 km (311 mile) WLTP range, while a combined 325 hp and 375 lb-ft of torque should make for suitably spirited acceleration to go along with all that green cred.

Suspension and handling, too, are promised to deliver on what Opel claims is a “typical” Teutonic driving experience in the Grandland AWD:

Both driving pleasure and comfort are further emphasized by dampers with frequency selective damping technology. This unique technology comes as standard on the Grandland Electric AWD and incorporates a second hydraulic circuit in the damper chamber to mechanically adapt the damping force in relation to the frequency. Depending on the situation, road surface conditions and driving style, it enables different damping characteristics for comfortable gliding at high frequencies – i.e. with short impacts such as on cobblestones or a manhole cover – as well as for a sporty, ambitious driving style with more direct contact with the road at low frequencies. The Grandland reacts even more immediately and directly to any command from the driver and, as is typical for Opel, remains stable when braking, cornering and at high speeds on the Autobahn.

OPEL PRESS RELEASE

The Opel Grandland Electric AWD ships with four standard drive modes that include “normal,” eco, sport, and 4WD mode, which simulates locking axles and true 4×4 off-road performance. The ESP and traction control systems adopt specific settings to enhance grip in 4WD mode as well, and maximum power and torque are instantly available.

Electrek’s Take

As you maybe could tell by now, feeding European Stellantis EVs into an AI image generator and asking it to “make them into Jeeps” is one of my new favorite things to do. This new Opel is no different, and the resulting image (above) paired with the models’ stated specs give me hope that the next wave of Jeep EVs will do better than the Wagoneer S at attracting buyers. All they really need, I think, is the right name — and the right price, to be winners.

With $25,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going?

With ,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going?

Deep discounts hit Jeep’s flagship EV as Stellantis struggles with demand

Like a 90s “gifted” kid that was supposed to be a lot of things, the electric Jeep Wagoneer S never really found its place — but with dealers discounting the Jeep brands forward-looking flagship by nearly $25,000, it might be time to give the go-fast Wagoneer S a second look.

SKIP THE STORY: get straight to the deals.

Whether we’re talking about Mercedes-Benz, Cerberus, Fiat, or even Enzo Ferrari, outsiders have labeled Jeep as a potentially premium brand that could, “if managed properly,” command luxury-level prices all over the globe. That hasn’t happened, and Stellantis is just the latest in a long line of companies to sink massive capital into the brand only to realize that people will not, in fact, spend Mercedes money on a Jeep.

That said, the Jeep Wagoneer S is not a bad car (and neither is its totally different, hideously massive, ICE-powered Wagoneer sibling, frankly). Built on the same Stellantis STLA Large vehicle platform that underpins the sporty Charger Daytona EVs, the confusingly-named Wagoneer S packs dual electric motors putting out almost 600 hp. That’s good enough to scoot the ‘ute 0 to 60 mph in a stomach-turning 3.5 seconds and enough, on paper, to convince Stellantis executives that they had developed a real, market-ready alternative to the Tesla Model Y.

With the wrong name and a sky-high starting price of $66,995 (not including the $1,795 destination fee), however, that demand didn’t materialize, leaving the Wagoneer S languishing on dealer lots across the country.

That could be about to change, however, thanks to big discounts on Wagoneer S being reported at CDJR dealers in several states, according to our friends at the Car Dealership Guy podcast.

  • Jimmy Britt Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Georgia, has a Wagoneer S with an MSRP of $67,590 listed at $43,104 ($24,486 off)
  • In Florida, Taverna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat has a $67,590 Wagoneer S slashed to $43,138 ($24,452 off)
  • Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat in Oklahoma has a Wagoneer S listed for $43,425 ($24,165 off)

“Stellantis bet big on electric versions of iconic American brands like Jeep and Dodge, but consumers aren’t buying the premise,” writes CDG’s Marcus Amick. “(Stellantis’ dealer body) is now stuck with expensive EVs that need huge discounts to move, eating into already thin margins while competitors focus on [more] profitable gas-powered vehicles.”

All of which is to say: if you’ve found yourself drawn to the Jeep Wagoneer S, but couldn’t quite stomach the $70,000+ window stickers, you might want to check in with your local Jeep dealer and see how you feel about it at a JCPenneys-like 30% off!
