Leading today’s Green Deals is the latest Christmas sale that we spotted from NIU, with up to 42% being taken off its e-scooter lineup, like the KQi2 Pro Electric Kick Scooter that hit a new $379 2024 low. From there, we have a returning low price on Goal Zero’s Yeti 1500X Portable Power Station at $779, as well as a new low rate for Hoverfly’s entry-level H3 16-inch Folding e-bike down at $423. Lastly, we have two Rexing EV charger adapters and one extension cable for Tesla drivers/owners at up to $100 off and starting from $50. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s Jackery Christmas flash sale that ends tonight, 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.

NIU Christmas sale drops beginner-friendly KQi2 Pro electric kick scooter to new $379 2024 low

NIU’s Christmas sale is offering plenty of low prices – returning and new – through December 24 on a small collection of KQi series electric kick scooters at up to 42% off. One notable new price is on the beginner-friendly KQi2 Pro Electric Kick Scooter that is down at $379 shipped. Usually going for $649 outside of these sales, this model ended last year at the $369 low that hasn’t been seen again since. Over 2024, discounts have kept the price above $380 (usually over $400), but that’s changing here today as its previous Black Friday rate gets beaten out by $1, saving you $270 at the lowest price of the year – only $10 above the all-time low from 2023. You’ll also find this same scooter matching in price at Amazon.

A great and affordable pick for both newbie riders and veterans who don’t want to shell out too much cash, NIU’s KQi2 Pro electric kick scooter arrives as a balanced model to assist you through most commuting needs. You’ll get a 25-mile travel range on a single charge at up to top speeds of 17.4 MPH thanks to the paired 300W motor and 48V battery. It even sports regenerative brakes to extend your riding time by recycling energy alongside the four riding modes (e-save, sport, custom, pedestrian). The IP54 water-resistance protections here ensure being caught in sudden inclement weather or riding after the fact won’t threaten the scooter’s life. You’ll also be getting an LED headlight and taillight, a secondary front drum brake, a foldable body, and an LED dashboard display to adjust settings – which you can also do through the companion app on your smartphone.

NIU’s Christmas sale is even offering a bunch of bundle options to save on two e-scooters bought together, which you can browse in full on the landing page here.

Goal Zero Yeti 1500X power station

Through its official Amazon storefront, Goal Zero is offering a return low on its Yeti 1500X Portable Power Station at $779.18 shipped, after clipping the on-page $500 off coupon. Normally going for $1,300 these days, but priced at $1,279 since November, it’s spent most of the year keeping between $1,100 and $1,234 on Amazon. We spotted it hitting this same rate on Black Friday and holding out until Cyber Monday’s end, but that same low price is back again today to save you $521. There are also two discounted bundle options here, with the station coming with a 100W solar panel for $866, after clipping the on-page $584 off coupon, or with two accordion-folding 200W solar panels for $1,775, after clipping the on-page $220 off coupon.

More of an outdoor and job site-tailored brand of backup power solutions, Goal Zero’s Yeti 1500X power station provides you with a 1,516Wh battery capacity that dishes out an impressive 2,000W output that surges up to 3,500W. Through its 10 output ports, you can keep the power on for devices, appliances, tools, and more. The battery takes up to 14 hours to recharge via a wall outlet, which can be sped up to just 3-hour charge times with a Goal Zero Yeti X 600W Power Supply. You can also utilize up to its 600W max input to take advantage of solar charging, as well as an additional recharge option by connecting it to your car.

NIU Christmas sale

Hoverfly’s H3 16-inch folding e-bike is an affordable entry-level option for beginners at new $423 low

We just spotted a great collection of beginner-friendly e-bike deals at Amazon on the Hoverfly H3 16-inch Folding e-bike starting from $423.20 shipped for its black and white colorways, with the other colorways getting some decent savings too. Down from its $500 price tag here, with higher $560+ rates direct from Hoverfly and elsewhere, we saw it drop furthest in price back over September when it hit $425. That rate is getting beaten out here today though, saving you $77 off the going rate ($137+ off its higher MSRPs) and carving out a new all-time low price by $2. It even beats out its pricing direct from Hoverfly right now that has it down at $530.

A great starter bike that certainly won’t break the bank, Hoverfly’s H3 model provides a solid 15.5 MPH max speed from its 350W brushless hub motor (500W peak) that is powered by the removable 280.8Wh battery, with added support from its three simplified riding modes: a traditional bike mode, electric mode, and PAS mode. When it is switched to the PAS mode, you’ll benefit from support for up to 25 miles on one charge. It features fully adjustable handlebars and saddle to fit a wider range of rider heights, as well as front shock absorbers, an integrated rear cargo rack, a headlight and taillight, 16-inch wheels, and a foldable bike frame.

Rexing EV charger adapters for Tesla drivers

Save up to $100 on these EV charger adapters and extension cable for Tesla drivers starting at $50

Tesla drivers are in luck today as Best Buy is offering some solid discounts across three popular Tesla-focused add-on adapters, starting with the Rexing J1772 to Tesla EV Charger Adapter for $49.99 shipped. Normally priced at $80, we’ve mainly seen this adapter drop to either $50 or the $45 low during one-day sales, with the savings today taking $30 off the price to return costs to the second-lowest price. This device arrives rated for a maximum 80A input and a 240V output, allowing Tesla drivers to gain wider access to level 1 and 2 EV chargers by using home and portable setups your non-Tesla driving family and friends may have.

If you happen to own a Tesla S, 3, X, or Y – or if you’re looking to grab a last-minute gift for someone who does – there’s also the Rexing CCS to Tesla Adapter for $130, down from $200. We have seen it go for $100 much earlier in the year, but more often than not it usually only sees a drop to $150, so this 35% markdown is a great opportunity at some extra savings. Adding this adapter to your glovebox gives you wider-ranging charging access at over 5,000 CCS level 3 fast-charging stations across the country, providing you with up to 250kW or 250A speeds.

Lastly, suppose you happen to own one of Tesla’s home chargers, like the popular level 2 Wall Connector or the Universal Wall Connector, or you regularly frequent other charger stations with a lack of reach. In that case, you may want to add on some extra length to the cable with Rexing’s Tesla Extension Charging Cable for $200, saving you $100 off the usual going price. Fully compatible with the many chargers and connectors for the Tesla Models S/3/X and Y EVs, you’ll get an additional 20 feet of length now with this cable, which supports up to 240V/48A speeds. Do remember though, it unfortunately does not work with the supercharger stations.

Best ongoing holiday e-bike deals!

BYD has a new ultra-luxury EV brand headed for Europe

BYD has a new ultra-luxury EV brand headed for Europe

BYD-ultra-luxury-EV-Europe

Ferrari and Porsche will soon have company. BYD just confirmed plans to launch Yangwang, its ultra-luxury EV brand, in Europe. It will be the first Chinese brand to enter Europe’s most elite segment.

BYD preps new ultra-luxury EV brand for Europe

After launching Denza earlier this year, BYD is set to introduce another luxury brand to Europe. Yangwang is BYD’s most exclusive lineup of new energy vehicles, featuring its advanced technology and performance.

The brand has been on sale in China for about two and a half years, and now, it’s preparing to launch in Europe. BYD’s vice president Stella Li told Autocar that “our plan is that we will bring Yangwang into Europe,” after Denza earlier next year.

BYD launched its ultra-luxury EV brand in January 2023, with the first vehicle, the Yangwang U8, going on sale in September of the same year.

The Yangwang U8 is a Range Rover-like extended range electric SUV (EREV), packing over 1,100 hp (880 kW). It also comes loaded with features like float mode, which allows it to literally float on water, tank turns, and the U8 can even plow through more water than a Defender.

A few months later, BYD launched the second vehicle, the Yangwang U9, in February 2024. The Yangwang U9 is an electric supercar that can jump and dance thanks to BYD’s DiSus-X body control system.

It’s faster than a Ferrari, with four electric motors delivering nearly 1,300 hp, enabling a 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) sprint in just 2.36 seconds.

The Yangwang U8 and U9 start at 1,098,000 RMB ($150,000) and 1,680,000 RMB ($230,000) in China, respectively. Both will be sold in Europe.

Li said that “more cars are coming,” including the Yangwang U7, an electric ultra-luxury sedan. BYD delivered the first U7 models in China last month, starting at 628,000 RMB ($87,000).

The four-seater variant costs 708,000 RMB, or about $98,500, which is still about half the cost of the most affordable Ferrari.

With Yangwang set to arrive in Europe, BYD will be the first Chinese automaker to enter Europe’s top luxury auto segment.

With an additional 17% tariff, export costs, and other factors, prices in Europe are expected to be notably higher. We will learn more as we get closer to launch.

Block’s stock pops on addition to S&P 500

Block's stock pops on addition to S&P 500

Block shares jumped 7% on Monday after S&P Global said the company will join the S&P 500, replacing Hess, which was acquired by Chevron’s for $54 billion.

The stock rose following the announcement late Friday as investors sought to get in ahead of index fund managers, who will need to buy shares to mimic the changes. Square’s $48 billion market cap at Monday’s close places it well above the median S&P 500 constituent, though shares are still down 8% this year.

Passive funds are expected to purchase roughly 101 million shares of Block due its inclusion, equivalent to about 11 days of average trading volume, according to a note from Stephens.

Block is working to reestablish investor confidence after uneven performance from its Cash App business. Gimme Credit’s Stu Novick noted that while gross profit growth missed estimates last quarter, the company still delivered strong adjusted earnings and improving cash flow.

While Block is joining the benchmark index, a major player in the fintech industry remains on the sidelines.

Robinhood has delivered one of the strongest recent runs in the U.S. stock market, soaring 345% in the past year. Yet despite nearing a nearly $100 billion, the company has been repeatedly passed over for S&P 500 inclusion.

Robinhood shares fell almost 5% on Monday.

By way of its official Amazon storefront, Anker is offering its PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh Power Bank Station at $87.99 shipped, with it also coming in a few dollars under the brand’s current direct pricing. Normally costing $150 at full price, we’ve mostly seen discounts over the last year dropping costs between $110 and $90, though there have been a few select falls to $80, and recently we saw Prime Day take things to $75.
