Anker SOLIX New Year weekend flash sale returns C800 Plus 768Wh LiFePO4 power station to $429 low
Anker SOLIX has switched from its Christmas savings to its New Year sale through January 5, with up to 50% markdowns across its lineup of popular power stations, bundles, and accessories. There are three notable low prices we’re seeing during the event, coming in the form of short-term flash sales through December 29, with the C800 Plus Portable Power Station starting the lowest at $429 shipped. Down from its usual $649 price tag, we only saw this rate once before during the short-lived Cyber Monday deal that the brand offered, which is returning here today to give you a second chance at the lowest price we have tracked, saving you $220 in the process.
Anker’s C800 Plus comes as a multi-capable backup solution that has been tailored for camping trips specifically, with two water-resistant LED camping lights that sport three modes (candlelight, flood light, and flashlight) lasting for up to 8 hours at a time before needing to be stowed back in the integrated compartment to recharge. The power station itself provides you with a 768Wh LiFePO4 capacity, covering devices and small appliances with up to 1,200W of output (1,600W surging) through its 10 port options. You’ll be able to return the battery to its full capacity in just 58 minutes when connected to a wall outlet, or you can use up to 300W of solar input to get 80% battery in 2.3 hours.

For the rest of the day grab Hyper’s 26-inch electric mountain bike at new $550 low
As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the first notable discount from its warehouse on the Hyper 26-inch Electric Mountain Bike at $549.99 shipped. This e-bike model would normally cost you $1,000 at full price, with discounts often coming directly from Hyper or third-party vendors. Today, you’re looking at the first discount we’ve seen from Best Buy, slashing $450 off the price tag and landing it at a new all-time low that will only last through the rest of the day. The closest model you can find from Hyper at the moment is a less advanced 250W model that is not only sitting at a higher $598 rate, but is also out of stock.
Getting into e-bikes doesn’t have to be an endeavor that breaks the bank, and this electric mountain bike from Hyper is one of the many examples of just how true that statement is. It arrives with a 350W rear hub motor and a 36V battery, providing you with up to 20 MPH top speeds for up to 20 miles of PAS support on a single four-hour charge. Aside from its 50-pound weight that makes managing it far easier, especially in urban environments and living situations, it also comes stocked with a 6-speed derailleur, rugged mountain bike tires, and a front shock suspension.
Samsung’s AI Combo all-in-one electric washer and ventless dryer at $2,199 through the rest of the year
Samsung is offering its Bespoke AI Combo All-in-One Electric Washer and Ventless Dryer for $2,199 shipped. Normally priced at $3,324, we’ve seen it discounted frequently over the year, with its lowest prices usually averaging around $2,199, though we did see it go as low as $1,899 direct from Samsung and $1,700 from Best Buy. Today, you’re looking at the fourth-lowest price overall and the third-lowest direct from Samsung’s sales, saving you $1,125 on this laundry upgrade. You’ll also have the option to score a two-year Samsung Care+ plan for just $1 (normally $149) and free installation worth $25. This is the lowest current price we can find, with Best Buy offering it at $1 higher.
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.
Clear a 6-car driveway with Greenworks’ 80V 22-inch cordless electric snow blower at $570 (Today only)
As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 80V 22-inch Cordless Electric Snow Blower for $569.99 shipped. Normally this model would run you $800 at full price, with discounts very sparse this year, the biggest of them being a fall to the $450 low back at the start of the year. For today only you can take advantage of this 29% markdown that takes $230 off the usual going rate and lets you properly equip for snow removals at the second-lowest price we have tracked. You’ll also find it currently matching in price at Amazon.
Now that winter is here and snowfall has long begun, you may be realizing your need for a reliable means to clear it all out of the way. This Greenworks snow blower arrives sporting a digitally controlled brushless motor that is powered by the included 4.0Ah battery and gives you enough runtime to clear out a 6-car driveway on a single charge. It clears out a 22-inch path with a depth of up to 10 inches, with its 180-degree rotating chute tossing it up to 20 feet out of your pathways. It features an auger-assist system for heavier snow and ice that hasn’t been too tightly packed down, as well as LED lights for visibility at darker hours and a foldable design for easier storage options.
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.

Stellantis is recalling over 375,000 Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrids, telling owners to avoid charging and park away from any buildings due to a potential fire risk.
Stellantis recalls Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee PHEVs
After an internal investigation found 19 reports of fires, Stellantis said it was recalling about 320,065 Jeep plug-in hybrid SUVs in the US.
The recall affects certain model-year 2020-2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and 2022-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe models.
Stellantis is recalling another 20,753 Jeep PHEVs in Canada, 2,653 in Mexico, and 32,238 in markets outside of North America.

Until the remedy is available, the company is urging owners to refrain from charging and to park away from buildings or other vehicles. The risk of a fire is less when the battery is drained, the company said.
The batteries were produced by Samsung SDI, the same defect that led to the recall of 154,000 Jeep plug-in hybrids in 2024. Vehicles included in that recall will still need the new remedy.

According to Stellantis, nine of the reported fires were from Jeep Wranglers and Grand Cherokees included in the 2024 recall.
Stellantis said a remedy “is imminent,” and affected drivers will be notified when they can schedule a service appointment.
Until then, owners can call customer care at 1-800-853-1403 with questions or concerns. You can also visit recalls.mopar.com for more information.
The recall comes after Stellantis issued one for nearly 25,000 Jeep Wrangler PHEVs less than two weeks ago due to a software glitch that left drivers stranded with bricked vehicles. Some had to be towed to dealers.

Zero Motorcycles, long known for its powerful electric motorcycles, is diving deeper into the world of urban mobility with the launch of the all-new LS1 electric scooter. Unveiled today at EICMA 2025 in Milan, the LS1 is designed to expand Zero’s reach beyond motorcycles and into the increasingly important city commuter segment.
The LS1 marks a key milestone in Zero’s “All-Access” initiative, aimed at making electric two-wheelers available to a broader range of riders. Compact, lightweight, and built for life in dense city environments, the LS1 brings Zero’s signature electric performance into a much more approachable and user-friendly package.
Powered by a mid-mounted motor and fueled by two swappable floorboard-mounted batteries, the LS1 offers up to 115 km (71 miles) of range in standard configuration. Riders looking to go further can add an optional third battery, stored under the seat, to extend range to 170 km (106 miles).
With a top speed of 100 km/h (62 mph), ABS, traction control, and a low seat height, the LS1 seems to offer the kind of versatility and rider confidence needed for navigating tight European streets.

For charging, the removable batteries can be topped up indoors using the included 800W charger (0–95% in 4.5 hours or 20–80% in 3 hours), or more quickly with an optional 1,500W fast charger that cuts those times nearly in half. That ease of off-board charging, combined with under-seat storage big enough for a helmet or groceries, seeks to make the LS1 a practical daily driver for urban riders and apartment dwellers.
Built as part of Zero’s expanding partnership with Zongshen, which also saw Zero roll out two trail-oriented e-motos, the LS1 seems to offer a nice balance between Zero’s design and more affordable Chinese production. And with a projected price of roughly €5,200 depending on the country/market, it seems reasonably priced to sell.
“The LS1 is designed for the people we see every day in cities like Paris, Milan, or Barcelona,” said Zero CEO Pierre-Martin Bos. “It’s simple, stylish, and makes electric riding accessible to a whole new group of riders.”
Bos recently replaced Sam Paschal as Zero’s new CEO, part of significant shifts lately at Zero that saw the company move its base of operations out of the US and reduce its workforce. A representative of Zero at the EICMA booth also explained that Zero’s former CTO Abe Askenazi is also no longer with the company.
Electrek’s Take
This is an interesting move by Zero, and probably a smart one. Flagship electric motorcycles may feature impressive performance, but they aren’t bringing in big profits right now. Smaller, modest e-motos that fit into more lifestyles are where the volume is at right now.
The LS1 brings the brand’s premium engineering and EV know-how to a format that more riders actually want, and can use every day. It’s lightweight, nimble, and doesn’t try to be a motorcycle in disguise. For city riders who’ve wanted a legit, high-quality electric scooter from a trusted brand, this could be an answer.

After teasing another new vehicle, Toyota said “a major unveiling” is set for next week. Is this Toyota’s electric truck?
What new vehicle is Toyota teasing now?
After stealing the spotlight at the Japan Mobility Show last week with the Corolla Concept, Land Cruiser FJ, and ultra-luxe Century brand, Toyota is at it again.
Toyota is teasing another new vehicle ahead of what it’s calling a “major unveiling” set for next week. “Get ready to embark on a new journey together,” the company said.
The image appears to be of the new Hilux, Toyota’s compact midsize Hilux pickup truck. The Hilux is the best-selling pickup outside of North America, going head-to-head with the Ford Ranger and other smaller trucks. It’s even Toyota’s most popular vehicle in some markets across Southeast Asia and Africa.

Currently in its eighth generation, Toyota’s pickup is due for an overhaul. Toyota teased the new vehicle, revealing slim LED headlights and a rugged front-end design.
A video from Toyota Thailand offers a better look at the pickup from the back and side. The rear features redesigned taillights similar to those on the front end. You can also see it’s a four-door pickup, or Double Cab.
Toyota said the major unveiling is set for November 10. We have yet to learn the prices or any powertrain specs (or even officially what vehicle it is), but it could arrive with a battery-electric (BEV) powertrain.

According to Drive, Toyota’s plans to release an electric Hilux pickup leaked during the Tokyo Motor Show. A slide shown to Malaysian media was leaked on Instagram, revealing two pickups, one clearly marked as a BEV. The other vehicles included the new bZ4X, Land Cruiser FJ, and Yaris Ativ.
The leaked image comes after Toyota Thailand president Noriaki Kamashita told reporters during last year’s Bangkok International Motor Show that the Hilux EV would launch by the end of 2025.
Although an electric variant is a possibility, the Hilux is expected to continue to be offered with its current mild-hybrid 2.8-liter turbo diesel engine.
We will learn more next week. Check back on November 10 for the full details.
