Lectric New Year sale increases savings to $326 on new XPedition 2.0 13Ah cargo e-bike bundle at $1,399

It’s a New Year so Lectric is throwing a new sale with up to $727 in savings on the brand’s e-bike bundles. While prices on most of these bundles are landing at or below its Black Friday and Christmas rates, one model seeing an increase in savings is the new XPedition 2.0 13Ah Single-Battery Cargo e-bike at $1,399 shipped, which comes with $326 in free gear. Normally totaling up to $1,725, we saw this EV getting $296 in gear since releasing back in November. While savings on its two dual-battery iterations have slightly lowered, this model is benefitting from increased savings with the biggest accessory package we’ve seen to date.

Sporting two new colorways from the brand, the XPedition 2.0 Cargo e-bike has some obvious upgrades from its first-generation model, like the extended rear rack or the increased 450-pound payload. It’s been given an improved 750W M24 rear hub motor (peaking at 1,310W) that reaches 28 MPH top speeds, with increased acceleration and much more power to tackle inclines even with cargo being hauled along. This base model is powered by a 13Ah battery that provides up to 60 miles with the PAS support (the dual 13Ah model bumps this to 120 miles while the dual 17.5Ah model goes higher to 170 miles). What’s more, its charger has been improved to 5A output, “cutting down on charging speeds by 60%.”

Aside from its impressive performance capabilities for the low price, it also comes with loads a solid features, like the adjustable dual spring 50mm front suspension fork, the Shimano 8-speed drivetrain, narrower 20-inch by 2.5-inch wheels with fenders over each, more powerful hydraulic mineral oil disc brakes, the headlamp and taillights with brake lighting and turn signal functionality, the wider-stance kickstand, and a color display.

Worx leaf blower

Clear out debris with Worx’s Nitro 40V cordless leaf blower equipped with two 4.0Ah batteries at new $159 low

Amazon has dropped the price lower than ever on the Worx Nitro 40V Cordless Leaf Blower with two 4.0Ah batteries for $158.99 shipped. This newer model usually carries a $200 price tag, which has fallen as low as $160 back in mid-December, with slightly increased savings here today. You can grab one for your tool arsenal at a 21% markdown here, saving you $41 at the lowest price we have tracked.

Whether you live in a warmer climate during winter or want to start prepping for after the snow melts away, Worx’s Nitro 40V cordless leaf blower will be ready to clear your yard’s leftover debris with 530 CFM of airflow (180 MPH) that matches up to a 27cc gas blower. The two included 4.0Ah batteries ensure you’ll get 90 minutes of runtime on one charge, with it only weighing in at 7.7 pounds, making it easy to handle no matter the age, size, or physical strength. It has 3-speed adjustments alongside a turbo mode for boosted power, even coming with a concentrator nozzle that can be equipped to reach its maximum output airspeeds.

Greenworks snow shovel

Carve a 12-inch wide path with this Greenworks 80V cordless electric snow shovel while it’s at $234

Amazon is bringing the savings to equipment perfect for snow relief, with the Greenworks 80V 12-inch Cordless Electric Snow Shovel down at $234.49 shipped. The price has been brought down from its usual $350 MSRP today, which saves you $116 off its full costs. While we have seen it go as low as $200 in the past (which hasn’t been seen since 2023 Christmas sales), it’s been spending more recent months near $300, except for occasional events like October’s Prime Day or early Black Friday sales, which is when we first saw it at this 2024 low.

Winter is well under way, and plenty of folks across the country have been battling it out with Mother Nature’s snowfall already, and this electric snow shovel from Greenworks is ready to join the fight. Its 80V brushless motor will have a 12-inch wide by 6-inch deep path cleared in no time, with snow tossed up to 25 feet out of the way. The lightweight design makes it easy to manage while in operation, not to mention the management of space, which you’ll save over larger snow blowers. The included 2.0Ah battery provides a 45-minute runtime for every 30 minute period that it charges, and the shovel also protects you via the lock-out button that prevents accidental start ups when your digits start growing too cold and stiff.

Lectric New Year sale

Through its lineup of Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 80V 21-inch Lawn Mower, 13-inch String Trimmer, and 730 CFM Leaf Blower Combo for $569.99 shipped for the rest of the day.

Today is one of the occasions as you save $530 off the going rate while stocking up on reliable equipment for your yard duties at the lowest price we have tracked. You won’t find this bundle just anywhere, as even Amazon doesn’t have the same combination of tools, with the closest we can find being this combo with a less advanced blower and trimmer as well as three batteries for $550.

Winter is always a great time to invest in lawncare equipment, especially with such a massive price cut, and this 3-tool combo kit from Greenworks will have you stocked up for spring duties once it rolls back around. The lawn mower has been given an 80V brushless motor to tackle up to 1/2 acre of land on a single charge of the included 4.0Ah battery, with seven cutting height positions and a push button start.

It seems like Elon Musk stoking a civil war in England isn’t good for Tesla’s sales there

It seems like Elon Musk stoking a civil war in England isn't good for Tesla's sales there

Tesla Model Y Performance hero US

Tesla’s EV registrations in the UK, its biggest market in Europe, took a dramatic hit in October 2025 — just 511 units — marking one of the brand’s weakest showings in recent memory. That’s a steep drop from 971 in October 2024 and 2,677 in October 2023. The tone of the market is shifting.

Maybe Tesla’s CEO stoking a civil war in England isn’t helping the automaker’s demand in the important market.

Tesla’s sales have been struggling in Europe over the past two years, and the decline has been accelerating in 2025.

While some believed that things were stabilizing for the American automaker in Europe, the October data tells a different story. Tesla had its worst month of deliveries of the year in 12 of its 15 biggest European markets.

As Tesla sales in Germany crashed over the last year, partly because Tesla CEO Elon Musk supported the far-right AfD party, the UK became Tesla’s biggest market in Europe.

But now it looks like the UK is going in the same direction.

According to registration data, Tesla delivered only 511 vehicles in the UK in October 2025. Tesla has over 50 stores in the country – that’s an average of roughly 10 vehicles per location for the whole month.

It’s the worst monthly performance since October 2022.

Much as Tesla’s demand crashed in Germany, Elon Musk’s politics might be behind the lower demand in the UK.

The CEO regularly comments on UK politics and often shares inflammatory reports about crimes perpetrated by immigrants. He also shares misleading crime and immigration statistics aimed at spreading hatred.

After he tweeted that “Civil war is inevitable. Just a question of when.”, he was accused of stoking a civil war in the country.

Musk’s public commentary on UK topics has sparked backlash and resulted in his “unfavorability rating” reaching 80% in the country.

Electrek’s Take

Meanwhile, Tesla’s demand cliff is opening the door to competitors. BYD is now expected to outsell Tesla in the whole year of 2025 in the UK despite Tesla having a presence in the market for much longer.

Not many industry watchers thought it would happen this fast.

Tesla appears to be completely missing out on the surge of EV sales in Europe due to a mix of having a stagnant EV lineup, brand problems brought on by a controversial CEO, and increased competition.

In the US, Musk is believed to have cost Tesla about 1 million sales over the last 3 years.

I think it will soon be approaching this number in Europe.

HEINEKEN is brewing beer with a massive 100 MWh heat battery

HEINEKEN is brewing beer with a massive 100 MWh heat battery

Rondo Energy and energy producer EDP are installing a massive 100 MWh renewable-powered heat battery at HEINEKEN’s brewery in Lisbon, Portugal. The project will deliver round-the-clock renewable steam and reduce emissions without altering the facility’s beer brewing process.

Brewing HEINEKEN with zero-carbon steam

The Rondo Heat Battery (RHB) will be the biggest deployed in the beverage industry worldwide. It can store electricity as high-temperature heat using refractory bricks, then convert that heat into 24/7 steam, all without burning fossil fuels.

At HEINEKEN’s Central de Cervejas e Bebidas Brewery and Malting Plant, the heat battery system will supply 7 MW of steam, powered by renewable electricity from onsite solar and the grid. That steam is identical to steam created by gas-fired boilers, but without the carbon pollution.

EDP is providing the renewable electricity and will deliver the steam directly to HEINEKEN via a Heat-as-a-Service model. Rondo is supplying the battery, and HEINEKEN gets to ditch fossil fuels without retooling its brewing process.

Why this matters

This project is a big win for industrial decarbonization. High-temperature steam is one of the most complex parts of manufacturing to electrify, and the beer industry runs on it. HEINEKEN’s Lisbon site already uses solar panels for electricity and electric heat pumps for hot water, and this move helps it go even further.

It’s part of HEINEKEN’s “Brew a Better World” plan to hit net zero emissions by 2040 and decarbonize all of its global production sites by 2030.

Additionally, the deployment aligns with Portugal’s national target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030.

The bigger picture

With the European Investment Bank and Breakthrough Energy Catalyst backing this and other Rondo projects with €75 million in funding, this Lisbon installation is just the beginning. Rondo’s technology enables energy-hungry industries to switch from fossil fuels to renewable electricity without compromising 24/7 operations.

Rondo CEO Eric Trusiewicz sums it up: “We are thrilled to be installing our first Rondo Heat Battery in Iberia, and to support HEINEKEN to reach its goals. We look forward to helping industries across Iberia cut costs and carbon, and help Iberia capitalize on the opportunity.”

Lucid (LCID) misses Q3 earnings estimates, but there’s some good news

Lucid (LCID) misses Q3 earnings estimates, but there's some good news

Lucid-Q3-2025-earnings

Lucid Group (LCID) reported third-quarter earnings after the market closed on Wednesday, missing top and bottom-line estimates.

With 4,078 vehicles delivered in Q3, Lucid marked its seventh straight quarter with higher deliveries. Through the first nine months of 2025, Lucid delivered nearly 10,500 vehicles, more than the roughly 10,200 it handed over in 2024.

Although supply chain issues hampered production in the first half of the year, Lucid’s CEO Marc Winterhoff said the company made “significant progress ramping production of the Lucid Gravity through Q3,” including adding a second manufacturing shift at its Casa Grande, Arizona, plant.

Lucid produced 3,891 vehicles in Q3, missing estimates of around 5,600. With 9,966 EVs produced through the third quarter, Lucid will need to build over 8,000 more to meet its full-year production goal of 18,000 to 20,000.

According to estimates, Lucid is expected to report an adjusted quarterly loss of $2.27 per share on revenue of $352 million in Q3 2025.

Lucid Group Q3 2025 earnings breakdown

Lucid missed top and bottom-line estimates as it continues to address industry-wide supply chain issues that are hampering production of the Gravity SUV.

Although it missed estimates, Lucid reported Q3 revenue of $336.6 million, which is still up 68% from $200 million in the same period last year.

Lucid’s net loss narrowed to $978.4 million in the third quarter, or $3.31 per share, from $992.5 million, or $4.09 per share, in Q3 2024. On an adjusted basis, Lucid posted a loss of $2.65 per share.

In addition, Lucid said it agreed with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) to increase the delayed draw term loan credit facility (DDTL) from $750 million to around $2 billion.

Given the increase, Lucid said total liquidity would have been around $5.5 billion at the end of Q3, up from the $4.2 billion it reported. Lucid ended the third quarter with $1.6 billion in cash and equivalents.

Lucid said liquidity is enough to fund it through the first half of 2027, up from the second half of 2026, as previously forecast. Lucid plans to launch production of its more affordable midsize platform in late 2026 with vehicles starting at around $50,000.

Lucid confirmed it was still on track to start production of the midsize platform later next year. However, given the supply chain issues, it now expects to hit the lower end of its production goal at around 18,000.

Winterhoff said the company “remains intensely focused on ramping up production and addressing the significant supply chain disruptions impacting the entire industry.”

Lucid is advancing other emerging tech, including autonomy and intelligent mobility. Through a new partnership with NVIDIA, Lucid aims to be among the first to offer Level 4 autonomous driving.

The third-quarter earnings miss comes after Rivian (RIVN) beat expectations this week, reporting higher revenue and improving gross margins.
