Hyundai introduced significant discounts on its top-selling EVs, including the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and Kona Electric, in South Korea to overcome slumping sales. With government incentives, the IONIQ 5 now starts at just over $30,500 in Hyundai’s home market. Although demand remains strong in the US, Hyundai is still offering big savings opportunities.

Hyundai ramps up EV discounts in South Korea

On Wednesday, Hyundai launched a new EV discount promotion in Korea worth up to $3,500 (5 million won). Hyundai is offering between 3 to 5 million won ($2,000 to $3,500) in savings across its entire EV lineup.

The IONIQ 5 and 6 models are discounted at 3 million won ($2,000), while the Kona Electric is up to 4 million won ($2,700) off. Hyundai is offering up to 5 million won ($3,500) on electric vans, including the ST1 and Porter II.

Hyundai’s low-cost Casper Electric and IONIQ 5 N models get a 1 million won ($700) discount. Even the Genesis GV60 is discounted at 3 million won ($2,000) off.

According to Hyundai, the IONIQ 5 can now be bought for as little as 44.38 million won ($30,700) in Korea, down from 54.1 million ($37,400).

The savings include the 3 million won company discount, a 590,000 won Seoul government subsidy, and a “government subsidy and manufacturer discount proportional subsidy of 6.13 million won ($4,200). If you factor in benefits from its “2025 EV Every Care” promo launched last month, Hyundai said buyers will save even more.

The new discounts come as Hyundai deals with slowing EV sales in Korea. According to Chosun, Hyundai is halting IONIQ 5 and Kona EV production for a week later this month due to sluggish demand.

What about the US?

Although Hyundai’s EV sales are slowing in South Korea, the company continues gaining traction in the US market.

Hyundai is coming off its best January sales month in the US ever. With over 54,500 vehicles sold, Hyundai’s US sales were up 15% compared to January 2024.

The IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 set new January sales records with 2,250 and 871 models sold, respectively. Hyundai doesn’t provide a separate breakdown for Kona EV sales, but sales fell 34% across all powertrains.

With the upgraded IONIQ 5 and its first three-row electric SUV, the IONIQ 9, arriving this year, Hyundai expects to see even more momentum this year.

The new 2025 IONIQ 5 has an even more driving range of up to 318 miles, an upgraded interior and exterior design, and a NACS charging port to charge up at Tesla Superchargers.

Hyundai’s larger IONIQ 9 also includes a NACS port. Its 110.3 kWh battery provides a range of up to 335 miles, and its extended wheelbase opens to a spacious cabin with room for seven passengers.

Hyundai will build both electric SUVs at its new manufacturing plant in Georgia as it expands US production. The 2025 IONIQ 5 starts at $42,500, while IONIQ 9 prices will be revealed closer to launch. Hyundai opened IONIQ 9 pre-orders in Korea this week, starting at just 67.15 million won ($45,800). With incentives, Hyundai said actual purchase prices are closer to 60 million won ($41,00).

Leading today’s Green Deals is EcoFlow’s second phase of Game Day Power sale deals, with increased savings up to $3,398, including continuing 15% accessory discounts, new offers, and the 5% in extra savings switching to a threshold minimum. One of the newly added offers is the brand’s DELTA Pro Portable Power Station bundled alongside a smart extra battery and a transfer switch for home breaker backup for $3,499. We also have an appliance sale from Samsung that has dropped the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo All-in-One Washer and Ventless Heat Pump Dryer to $1,999, among other models, with up to $648 in additional saving options. Lastly, we spotted Greenworks’ 60V 42-inch CrossoverT Cordless Electric Riding Lawn Mower coming with a larger bundle package of six 8.0Ah batteries and the 42-inch Bin Bagger accessory for a $4,300 low. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s Lectric Valentine’s Day e-bike bundle offers, Bluetti’s limited-time flash sale, and more.

EcoFlow increases savings up to $3,398 and more in phase 2 of Game Day Power sale – deals start from $170

EcoFlow has switched over its Game Day Power sale into its second phase through February 9, with savings on power stations and bundle packages increasing up to $3,398, including new offers – with the sale’s bonus savings also changing (discussed further below). Of these two new flash offers joining the lineup, the most notable is EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro Portable Power Station bundled with a smart extra battery and a transfer switch for $3,499 shipped. Normally costing you $6,498, we’ve seen this particular combo rarely pop up, with August having seen the lowest rate of $3,696 during a similar sale. Today, you can score this home backup solution at a 46% markdown, saving you $2,999 off the going rate at the lowest price we have tracked. Over at Amazon, we can only find the station and the battery bundled together, with it sitting $100 higher than the price here.

As I mentioned, there’s some change-ups with the bonus savings during the second phase of EcoFlow’s Game Day Power sale. To start, the 15% accessory discounts are continuing as they were in phase 1, while members will now be getting a slightly reduced 2x EcoCredits, but on all purchases, not just those featured on the main page. The extra 5% in savings has now been given a price threshold of over $3,000, which will be automatically applied in cart – and sadly doesn’t apply to the above flash sale offer.

This EcoFlow DELTA Pro bundle is a perfect balance for out of the house trips while also being equipped with all it needs to backup your home during sudden power outages. To start, the power station alone provides a 3,600Wh LiFePO4 capacity with a 3,600W output (surging to 4,500W thanks to the X-boost tech) through its 14 port options. With the smart extra battery included, that capacity is doubled to 7,200Wh and can be further expanded all the way to 25kWh with additional equipment.

The power station’s own battery takes just 1.8 hours to recharge to full when plugged into a wall outlet (So expect about twice that time for both it and the extra battery to refill), while connecting its maximum 1,600W of solar input should get the same result in 2.8 hours (again, for the power station alone). And as always, you’ll find the usual array of remote smart controls here, all accessed through the app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. If you want to utilize it for more solar generator needs over home backup, I recommend the bundle for the power station with two 220W panels and a protective bag for $2,499 shipped, which beats starting your journey by getting just the power station alone at $300 less the price.

***Note. The 5% threshold discount, as well as the 15% accessory discount, have been factored into prices for the first time for all offers over $3,000 (and accessories) and is automatically applied in your cart. Reminder: the extra savings don’t include the flash sale offers.

Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Combo all-in-one washer/ventless heat pump dryer is down at $1,999 + $648 in bonus savings

Samsung is offering folks a great chance at upgrading your laundry room with its Bespoke AI Laundry Combo All-in-One 5.3 cubic-foot Washer and Ventless Heat Pump Dryer at $1,999 shipped with up to $673 in additional savings too. You’d normally have to shell out $3,324 for this unit at full price, with most of last year’s discounts averaging around $2,199, while we saw it fall as low as $1,899 direct from Samsung’s Black Friday sale while Best Buy dropped things as low as $1,700. You can grab it here today at the third-lowest price overall and the second-lowest coming from the manufacturer thanks to the 40% markdown here, giving you $1,325 in initial savings (more on the bonus savings below). If you want to save a bit more, there is an open-box option in excellent condition on the same page for $1,599. This is the lowest current price we can find, with Best Buy offering it at $1 higher.

Before we get into the washer/dryer’s performance capabilities, let’s go over the bonus savings you can currently take advantage of direct from Samsung. First, there is the usual free installation (normally $25) alongside the two-year Samsung Care+ plan for just $1 (normally $149). Next, the brand is offering a special promotion for the units on this landing page here (including the washer/dryer), which gives you $100 off when you buy two appliances together, $250 off when buying three, and $500 off when buying four or more.

Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Combo comes ENERGY STAR-certified with AI supporting you through settings management and also increasing its energy efficiency by identifying and adjusting settings based on the different fabrics you place inside and how soiled they are. The AI also pairs with the dual-inverter heat pump, calculating and estimating your electricity costs to “reduce energy usage by up to 19%.” There’s also the ventless design, which allows you to place it virtually anywhere, no longer needing to be next to a dedicate 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.

Cover 2.5 acres on Greenworks’ CrossoverT 60V riding mower with six 8.0Ah batteries and bin bagger for $4,300 low

Greenworks is offering the best rate we’ve seen on its 60V 42-inch CrossoverT Cordless Electric Riding Lawn Mower that comes with six 8.0Ah batteries and the 42-inch Bin Bagger for $4,299.98 shipped. This complete package usually sits at a $5,100 full price, with this being one of the rare discounts hitting this bundle with two additional 8.0Ah batteries (over the usual four that is more frequently cut down in price) as well as the Bin Bagger accessory too. You’ll be saving $800 off the going rate while these savings last, giving you a reliable electric riding mower at its all-time lowest price that we have tracked. You won’t find this bundle at other retailers either – with only an option for the mower with four 8.0Ah batteries at $4,297 from Amazon, while Best Buy currently offers it with six 4.0Ah batteries and the Bin Bagger for $5,600.

The Greenworks CrossoverT riding mower arrives ready to tackle up to 2.5 acres of land with its six 8.0Ah batteries, which take 90 minutes to charge with the included three dual port chargers. Sitting atop a 42-inch reinforced 13-gauge steel cutting deck that boasts an IPX4 waterproof rating, this mower comes equipped with three 60V intelligent TRUBRUSHLESS motors, the equivalent of a 24 horse-power gas motor, that can handle hills and inclines up to a 15-degree slope at a maximum speed of 6 MPH. You have seven cutting height settings to choose from, ranging from 1.5 inches to 4.5 inches. Not only can you bag your clippings, but it also offers you the options to discharge or mulch them as well.

While the mower itself sports an onboard bin storage for up to 200 pounds of clippings, with the additional Bin Bagger accessory, you’ll be getting an extra 6-bushel capacity for even more effective clipping collection, especially if you’re using it for multi-acre yards. Greenworks also offers a tip on how to gain virtually endless runtime – just keep three of its batteries in the mower while the other three charge (one per every dual-port charger). You can browse all the CrossoverT packages on the landing page here, or check out the full lineup of the upgraded zero-turn riding mowers here.

Australia is the latest market to report a significant drop in Tesla sales for the first month of 2025, and in this case, the automaker can’t blame the Model Y changeover.

Earlier this week, we reported on European markets releasing car sales data for January, showing a massive drop in Tesla sales.

Tesla sold roughly half as many cars in Europe in January 2025 compared to January 2024.

Most industry watchers agree that there are two main reasons behind the sharp decline:

• Elon Musk’s meddling in politics and spreading misinformation on social media is driving people away from Tesla
• Tesla is transitioning Model Y production to the new design, which is affecting production and sales

Now, Australia is reporting its car sale numbers for January 2025, and it shows that Tesla is also having issues in this market.

In the first month of 2025, Tesla delivered only 739 vehicles – down 33% year-over-year.

This time, Tesla can’t blame the Model Y changeover as Model Y deliveries were actually up 20%.

Model 3 is the problem. Sales of Tesla’s cheapest model were down 63%.

This has been Tesla’s trend in Australia for the last year. In January 2023, Tesla delivered more than 2,000 vehicles in the country, but now it can only deliver a few hundred units. In 2024, Tesla’s sales dropped 17% for the whole year.

Electrek’s Take

At this point, it’s fairly clear that Tesla’s sales will be abysmal in Q1. Tesla will use the excuse of the Model Y changeover, and it will undoubtedly be partly true, but I think the Elon effect is also be a significant part of Tesla’s sales problem.

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to calculate, but in the case of Australia, we can see that it’s part of the problem with the model breakdown.

Australia is not a huge car market and it won’t have a major impact on Tesla, but the trend appears to be similar in most markets.

The US is the biggest wildcard, as Elon still has a lot of fans there, obviously. US data is a bit more opaque and it will take a while for us to see an impact, if any.
