Anker SOLIX Christmas sale is bringing up to 50% discounts to town on power stations, bundles, more from $99

Anker SOLIX has finally launched its Christmas sales event that will run through December 26, taking up to 50% off its lineup of popular power stations, bundles for solar generators and home backup, and accessories – there’s even some free gear on select purchases and chances to win prizes. For folks not wanting to shell out for the SOLIX F3800 power station but still want some solid home backup power, you’ll want to consider the SOLIX F2000 Portable Power Station and its bundles that start from $1,199 shipped. Coming down off its usual $1,999 full price, over 2024 we’ve mainly seen it have price cuts to $1,299 and $1,399, falling twice before to $1,099 and only once to the $999 low on the day of Cyber Monday. You can score it today at the third-lowest price we have tracked overall, which still gives you a solid $800 in savings while electrifying your life with a reliable unit. You’ll also find it matches the price over at Amazon, after clipping the on-page $800 off coupon.

Whether you’re prepping to handle sudden blackouts over winter or just stocking up for adventures away from home, Anker’s SOLIX F2000 has your back with its 2,048Wh LiFePO4 capacity and 2,400W output power (surging up to 3,600W to tackle higher-power appliances). There are 12 versatile output ports to utilize here, including an exclusive RV port for those traveling by way of a motor home. It can reach an 80% battery recharge in 1.4 hours after being plugged into a standard wall outlet, or you can connect it to its 1,000W maximum solar input to get the same amount of juice in up to 2.5 hours. You’ll also get extra efficiency built right in as the smart AC ports work with its internal systems to switch into a power-saving mode for energy conservation that extends its lifespan and prevents waste.

Murf’s Class 3 Higgs Fat-Tire e-bike with 50-mile range hits new $1,916 low in holiday 20% off sitewide sale

For the holidays this year, Murf E-bikes is offering a sitewide 20% discount across its e-bike lineup. One of the more popular e-bikes from under the brand’s flag is the Higgs Step-Thru and Step-Over Fat-Tire e-bikes that are down at $1,916 shipped after the 20% discount is automatically applied at checkout. Normally $2,395, with rare discounts coming in across the year, we’ve mainly seen this model brought down between $2,095 and $2,195, though we did see a few price cuts further to $1,995 as well. During this sale, you’re looking at a solid $479 slashed off the tag, beating out all this year’s discounted rates for a new low price.

Murf’s Higgs e-bike offers a more versatile rider range from 4-foot-11 inches to 6-foot-four inches, allowing smaller biking enthusiasts to hop aboard comfortably. Its five levels of pedal assistance support you up to 25 MPH top speeds for up to 50 miles on a single charge (30 miles when only cruising using the throttle) – all powered by the 500W motor (750W peak) and 52V battery. There are some solid features here too to further enhance your riding experience, like the 4-inch fat tires for better stability, 600-lumen headlight powered by “3 high-power LEDs” for rides at darker times, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, an integrated cargo rack with 100-pound payload, and an upgraded high-resolution display.

***Note: The prices of the following e-bikes have had the 20% discount factored in below.

Other Murf 20% off sitewide holiday e-bike deals:

Greenworks 80V 16-inch cordless electric chainsaw

Greenworks’ 80V 16-inch cordless electric chainsaw tackles firewood duties at $224 Amazon low

We’re seeing a quality selection of Greenworks electric tools getting prices slashed by up to 32% at the moment at Amazon, with the brand’s 80V 16-inch Cordless Electric Chainsaw with 2.0Ah battery down at $223.99 shipped. Priced at $280, with rates keeping more down between $252 and $263 recently (especially during Black Friday/Cyber Monday), you’ll be able to expand your arsenal here with a solid 20% markdown, saving you $56 and landing it at the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon.

With winter having officially arrived, there will be plenty of firewood gathering going on through the next handful of months, and what better way to be prepared than having a reliable means to fell and cut up trees to keep your loved ones warm? With the included 2.0Ah battery, you’ll get 100 cuts (rated for 4×4 lumber) on a single charge, with a 16-inch bar and chain that effortlessly cuts through trees and limbs up to 30 inches in diameter. Its brushless motor stacks up to a 45CC gas model, though you won’t have to bother with annoying pull-strings thanks to the push-button start. Maintenance has been simplified with a pro-mounted chain tensioning feature while the auto oiler ensures consistent lubrication for continuous use.

Other Notable Greenworks tool discounts:

Govee smart electric composter

Cut down on food waste while making low-cost fertilizer with Govee’s smart electric composter at $265

The official Govee Amazon storefront is offering its new Smart Electric Composter for $264.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $50 off coupon and redeeming the on-page 10% promo code. Normally this new device would run you $500, with only two previous discounts on the books so far, the first dropping things to the $250 low upon its launch back at the end of October and the other taking things to $260 during Black Friday. Today, you can score it to start recycling food scraps at the third-lowest price we have tracked, just $15 above the all-time low.

Composting at home is a great way to cut down on food waste while also improving the soil you use for your gardens and potted plants. This new release from Govee is making things far easier with the added benefit of smart home functionality, helping you keep records of your disposal routines on top of creating a low-cost fertilizer for vital plant growth. It can all be accessed and monitored through your smartphone or by connecting it to Alexa, Google Assistant, and/or Siri for hands-free voice control. Odors associated with traditional composts won’t be of any concern here either, with the device’s two changeable filters preventing smells during its cycles. It also offers three operating modes and a fully array of safety notifications for when anything goes wrong.

Best ongoing holiday 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.

Inflation is back – but not here! These EVs are actually CHEAPER for 2026

Inflation is back – but not here! These EVs are actually CHEAPER for 2026

These Cars Actually Got Cheaper for 2026

Inflation is back, with prices rising 2.7% compared to last year (and that doesn’t include food, fuel, or rent, which are up even more), which is objectively bad. But it’s not true that everything is getting more expensive. These inflation-busting EVs are heading into 2026 with prices that are lower than they were in 2025!

There’s plenty of reasons for prices to go up or down in a market – everything from tariffs and taxes and increased domestic production to changes in inflation or even just a manufacturerwillingness to take a smaller profit on per-unit sales in order to drive volume. There’s a little bit of all of that happening in the American EV market this year, especially in the face of the expiring Federal EV tax credit that kind of makes most EVs cost $7,500 more than they would have otherwise.

That said, as I was putting this list together, I realized there were plenty of ways for me to present these MY26 price cuts. “Best deals?” Too opinion-based. “Biggest discounts by percentage?” Too much math. In the end, I went with alphabetical order, by make. Enjoy!

Cadillac OPTIQ

Cadillac is the industry’s luxury EV leader these days – and for good reason. Its electric crossovers are good-looking, have long range, great acceleration, and ultra-fast charging. Heck, they can even power your home in a pinch.

Even so, the powers that be at GM are worried about how their EV sales will fare in an American without a $7,500 Federal EV tax credit, so they’re offering a rear-wheel-drive version of the OPTIQ crossover with 300 miles of range for the 2026 model year with a starting price that’s nearly $2,000 lower than the least-expensive 2025.

Chevy Silverado EV

Chevy is crushing it right now. After setting EV range records and surpassing Ford in EV sales this semmer, Chevy is now the fastest-growing domestic EV brand in the US – and they’re seemingly intent on keeping that momentum into 2026 with a more affordable WT trim level that starts at $54,895, compared to $57,095 for the ’25 WT Standard Range.

The financial picture is looking rosier at the top of the Silverado EV model range, too. The range-topping model for 2026 is the $88,695 Trail Boss, while the $97,895 RST Max Range topped the 2025 lineup.

Mercedes-Benz EQS

These Cars Are Losing Value So Fast It’s Almost Impressive
2023 EQS, via Mercedes-Benz.

Despite being objectively capable, technologically-advanced, and supremely luxurious long-range electric vehicles, the Mercedes EQS and EQS SUVs were saddled with a somewhat anonymous, jellybean-like styling language that’s seen the flagship EVs struggle to find a foothold in the ultra-luxury segment they inhabit.

To that end, Mercedes kicked off its 2025 with big discounts on its in-stock EQS and EQS SUVs, and is responding to lower-than-expected market demand by reducing the cars’ MSRPs. In the case of the EQS SUV, by an inflation-busting $15,000 (!).

Toyota bZ

For 2026, Toyota has axed the bZ4X name and added a raft of both functional and cosmetic improvements to its five-passenger electric crossover, including body color fenders, up to 25% more range, and – thanks to a new thermal management system and battery preconditioning – a bigger battery that can charge from 10-80% capacity in about thirty minutes.

Even with those upgrades, the new and improved 2026 Toyota bZ is cheaper than the outgoing bZ4X, starting at $34,900 – or $2,170 less than the outgoing model.

Sennebogen 824 G Electro Battery material handler promises 24/7 power

Sennebogen 824 G Electro Battery material handler promises 24/7 power

sennebogen material handler

Sennebogen’s new 824 G Electro Battery material handler is being put through its paces at a recycling site in Munich’s Aubing district. And, thanks to its innovative grid-connected/battery system, it never has to stop to recharge!

With its emphasis on the recycling of stainless steel, ferroalloys, and superalloys, CRONIMET Alpha’s recycling operations are loud, and adding the ceaseless drone of diesel engines straining against the mass of all that metal as it’s sorted and fed into bailing presses. That’s why the company was so excited to test out Sennebogen’s new, all-electric 824 G Electro Battery material handler during an extensive trial at its Munich site.

So far, CRONIMET’s operators have been impressed with the new Sennebogen. “The battery-powered machine drives just like a diesel-powered one,” explains equipment operator Zoran Alexsic. “You don’t notice any difference in power – only that everything runs much more smoothly and quietly … you don’t have to take breaks to escape the noise.”

Quiet, but powerful

824 G Electro Battery; via Sennebogen.

The Sennebogen 824 G comes standard with a 98 kWh battery, but operators can install up to four modular packs for a total of 392 kWh and roughly eight hours of runtime. Even with a single pack—good for 1.5 to 3 hours—the machine can keep CRONIMET’s operations running almost nonstop, thanks to its built-in dual power mode.

Sennebogen’s dual power mode enables the 824 G to run on battery while drawing power from the grid at the same time. When connected to grid power, the machine can recharge its batteries as it works, eliminating the downtime other BEVs need for charging and giving operators the freedom to reposition the machine on battery power, then plug back in when convenient.

Beyond flexibility, the electric handler is also cleaner, quieter, and more cost-effective than the diesel models it’s designed to replace. By seamlessly cycling between battery and grid power, it reduces both noise on the job site and energy costs during peak hours.

Electrek’s Take

Drop the beat; via Sennebogen.

We’ve seen grid-connected equipment assets like this before, and with good reason. Simply put, it takes many more kilowatts of energy to dig up tons and tons of dirt and rocks than it does to send an aerodynamically smoothed sedan down a road. That’s why you still see a push towards hydrogen and other energy-dense fuels in construction – but permanently grid connected assets, whether wired or inductive, could solve for some of the limitations of batteries on job sites that can support them.

If the 824 G Electro Battery is a commercial success, expect Sennebogen to roll out more grid-connected options in the years to come.

MINI x Deus Ex Machina Skeg electric concept lightens the mood

MINI x Deus Ex Machina Skeg electric concept lightens the mood

MINI JCW x Deus Ex Machina: Two worlds. Two cars. Singular enthusiasm.

MINI has partnered with lifestyle brand, Deus Ex Machina, to develop this. It’s called the Skeg, and it’s a high-performance, racing-inspired electric concept car that’s sure to lighten the mood – by shedding fully 15% of its mass in the quest for speed.

One of a pair of exclusive, one-off concepts based on MINI’s John Cooper Works cars. The Deus Ex Machina Skeg celebrates MINI’s storied racing history with what the company calls, “a clean, minimal, and quiet rebellion,” that draws on materials, technologies, and philosophies from the world of surfing.

The electric MINI JCW Skeg is stripped to its essentials, with much of the steel and aluminum bits replaced with lightweight fiberglass to maximize acceleration while driving the minimalist aesthetic home. The end result weighs 15% less than the standard car – but makes the same stout 190 kW (258 hp) as the production car.

Surf’s up

The interior is stripped back to the barest essentials, reflecting BMW’s vision of a surf culture that prioritizes function over form. MINI claims the end result resembles a mobile surf shop, with fiberglass trays for wetsuits, specially shaped bins, neoprene seats, and other touches that “bring the surf culture into the interior.”

For their part, the BMW and MINI styling team seems pretty proud of its minimalistic electric endeavor. “In this extraordinary collaboration … every single detail has been crafted with artisanal precision and expertise,” says Holger Hampf, Head of MINI Design. “This has resulted in unique characters that are clearly perceived as belonging together through their distinctive design language and use of graphics.”

The concept retains the production version’s 54.2 kWh li-ion battery pack, up to 250 of WLTP range with the production aero kit, sprints from 0-100 km (62 mph) in just 5.9 seconds. With 15% less mass, though, that should jump to more than 255 miles, with 0-60 times dropping below 5.5 seconds.

I dig it – but I’d skip the surf bits and just appreciate the raw composite, minimalist interior look for what it is. Take a look at the image gallery, below, then let us know what you think of MINI’s Skeg concept in the comments.
