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.

Through its official Amazon storefront, Govee is offering a lightning deal on its latest Smart Electric Composter that is down at $299.98 shipped, after clipping the on-page $50 off coupon. It’s starting off already down from its $500 MSRP, and while we have seen it go as lower twice before, you’re still looking at a solid $200 in savings here while the deal lasts. Upgrade your kitchen today with the third-lowest price we have tracked since it was released in October, landing just $50 above the all-time low from Prime Day.

Cut out food waste and its costs by recycling it for alternate uses with Govee’s Smart Electric Composter which not only gives you records of your disposal routines, but also provides low-cost nutrient-rich soil for your garden and/or potted plants. It features three modes with plenty of safety notifications sent directly to your device when problems arise, complete with in-app smart controls and even hands-free voice controls through Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. And I’m sure you’re concerned about foul smells from the food breaking down, but don’t be! The two interchangeable filters prevent those odors from the composting cycle from filling your home.

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. Down from its usual $1,100 full price, we’ve mainly seen it fall between $600 and $700 over the last year, with some occasional drops lower. 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. The 13-inch trimmer sports the brand’s dual bump feed head to more easily replace broken lines, with the battery providing enough juice for an 80-minute runtime on its low power setting. The leaf blower provides up to 730 CFM of airflow (reaching up to 170 MPH) with a variable speed trigger with cruise control for more effortless handling.

Sunrun’s 37,000 home batteries are bailing out Puerto Rico’s grid

Sunrun’s 37,000 home batteries are bailing out Puerto Rico’s grid

Sunrun is putting tens of thousands of home batteries to work in Puerto Rico as the island’s electric grid faces a summer of high temperatures and energy shortfalls.

The company says it’s now dispatching energy from over 37,000 residential batteries to help grid operator LUMA keep the lights on. That stored power is being used to prevent rolling blackouts when demand spikes and centralized power plants can’t keep up.

Sunrun’s emergency power contribution has grown more than tenfold since last summer. LUMA expects more than 75 energy shortfall events between now and October, with each dispatch sending electricity to the grid for four consecutive hours. During several recent evenings, Sunrun and other virtual power plant (VPP) operators provided enough energy to offset a 50-megawatt generation gap, LUMA said.

Sunrun CEO Mary Powell said Puerto Rico’s aging infrastructure and intense weather patterns make home battery support increasingly critical:

It’s going to be a very difficult summer, which is why Sunrun has ramped up our dispatch capabilities, using tens of thousands of home batteries to support the grid and people of Puerto Rico.

She added that distributed power plants like Sunrun’s serve the same role as natural gas peaker plants – offering fast, reliable power during high-demand moments – but with clean energy.

Sunrun customers enrolled in the VPP will get paid too. Each participating battery earns about $200 minimum for the season, and customers who allow more of their stored energy to go to the grid earn even more. Sunrun also earns revenue for operating the VPP.

Volkswagen is practically giving away the ID.4 with leases as low as $99 a month

Volkswagen is practically giving away the ID.4 with leases as low as a month

Volkswagen-ID.4-leases-$99

Volkswagen is advertising ID.4 leases starting at just $99 a month. It’s hard to find any car lease these days for under $100 a month, but for $45,000 electric SUV, it’s almost unheard of.

Volkswagen offers ID.4 leases as low as $99 a month

The Volkswagen ID.4 was the third top-selling EV in the US in January after the 2025 model year went back on sale.

Volkswagen’s electric SUV starts at $45,095 with an EPA-estimated driving range of 291 miles. It’s available in five different trims: Pro, AWD Pro, Pro S, AWD Pro S, and AWD Pro S Plus.

The base 2025 VW ID.4 Pro RWD is equipped with 282 hp from a single rear electric motor. Inside, it features a 12.9″ infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and Volkswagen’s new ID.Cockpit digital instrument display.

Upgrading to the AWD version will gain a tow hitch and an additional 53 hp, for a combined maximum of 335 hp. The added power comes at the cost of some range, with an EPA-estimated range of 263 miles.

Volkswagen was already offering 2025 ID.4 leases as low as $129 a month, but some dealers are listing it for even less this month.

A California dealership, Volkswagen of Garden Grove, has the 2025 ID.4 Pro RWD listed for lease at just $99 per month. The offer is for 24 months with $2,995 down. According to the dealer, the offer includes a $5,000 cash back bonus, good on a new ID.4 purchase or lease.

We thought the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 was a good deal with leases starting at just $179 per month, but for $99, now that’s a steal.
