EcoFlow’s New Year phase 2 deals see DELTA 2 Max solar generator with two 220W panels and bag hit $1,472

We’re out of 2025’s gates and EcoFlow is switching over to phase 2 of its ongoing New Year sale through January 19, with new site-exclusive deals, with the free gifts being traded for extra savings at certain cart thresholds. We’ve spotted some first-time offers today, like the brand’s DELTA 2 Max Portable Power Station that is coming along with two 220W solar panels and a protective bag for $1,471.55 shippedafter using the continued sitewide coupon 25NYAFF5 at checkout for an extra 5% off. This travel-ready package is seeing $1,804 cut from its $3,276 full price, setting the bar for future discounts. We have seen this solar generator combo without the transport bag being offered for $1,659 back during EcoFlow’s Prime Day sale, but you’re getting the bag added in at $187 lower – making this New Year deal all the sweeter.

During this next phase of EcoFlow’s New Year sale, members will continue receiving 2x EcoCredits on select offers, which you can redeem for added savings at checkout. The savings don’t stop there, as all customers will benefit from the extra 5% off on orders over $2,000, as well as the extra 7% being taken off orders over $5,000.

EcoFlow’s DELTA 2 Max power station provides you with plenty of juice for out-of-the-house adventures, as well as home backup support in times of emergency. The 2,048Wh LiFePO4 capacity here can be further invested in to expand up to 6,144Wh with additional extra batteries. Its 2,400W power output should handle most of your appliance needs through its 15 port options, though you can always activate its X-Boost mode to bump that to 3,400W output for larger ones. It allows for two solar inputs to be hooked up to reach a maximum of 1,000W for recharging, or you can take advantage of its dual-charging capabilities using solar alongside a standard wall outlet for 80% battery in 43 minutes, among other options.

LG washer/dryer for easier laundry

Save $1,000 on LG’s all-in-one electric ventless washer/dryer combo with inverter heat pump at $1,999

LG is offering its All-in-One 5.0 Cubic-Foot Electric Ventless Washer/Dryer Combo for $1,999 shipped. Usually going for $2,999 direct from the brand, with higher starting rates elsewhere, this is the second-lowest price we have seen on this eco-conscious and efficient model, only beaten out by July 4th sale when it dropped to $1,500 for a short period. Today’s deal saves you $1,000, which you can use to further invest in other home upgrades or treat yourself. You can also find it at Best Buy for $2,000 at the moment, with bonus savings up to $1,000 when buying multiple appliances together.

LG’s ENERGY STAR-certified all-in-one washer/dryer combo brings intelligent functionality into your life for easier living and far less hassles during laundry duties. Alongside the obvious smart controls you’ll gain through the app, its been given a built-in smart system that can detect what fabrics you throw inside and just how soiled they may be, with the system then adjusting its own settings to give them the optimal wash. This lets you save some memory space from having to memorize what cycles and settings are best for your clothes and fabrics.

There are two notable features here above the rest, the first being the ventless design that lets you install it anywhere on top of the inverter heat pump tech increasing efficiency “using up to 60% less energy with every load ”over other models. The second standout is the ezDispense reservoir that offers enough capacity to dish out up to 31 loads of detergent, with an option to split things between detergent and fabric softener. There are some accessories available to expand its capabilities, like the pedestal washer or the storage drawer, which you can find on the same page.

EGO Power+ 56V 21-inch snow blower

EGO Power+ 56V cordless snow blower with two 5.0Ah batteries hits best price in years at $549

Amazon is helping with snow-clearing responsibilities by offering the EGO Power+ 56V 21-Inch Cordless Snow Blower with two 5.0Ah batteries for $549 shipped. This model with this combination of batteries usually fetches $700 in full, and has seen very few discounts over the last year compared with the 4.0Ah battery package that usually sees most of the savings attention. You can grab one for your household or business with a 22% markdown here, saving you $151 off the going rate at the best price on Amazon in the last few years.

Bigger and more heavy-duty than other budget models, this 56V snow blower from EGO Power+ utilizes a brushless motor to clear out a 21-inch wide path through piling snow, tossing it up to 35 feet out of the way. The two 5.0Ah batteries gives you plenty of juice to clear up to 8-inch high snow from a 10-car driveway on a single charge, with a variable speed control for improved handling and two bright LED headlights for increased visibility at the top and bottom of the day. It also starts up at the push of a button, making pull strings a thing of the past – especially considering having to deal with them in cold weather, which is never pleasant when they act up.

Heybike Mars 2.0 Folding e-bike

Kickstart 2025 adventures with Heybike’s Mars 2.0 e-bike at $999 with free bonus gear in New Year sale (Save $500)

Heybike is helping folks kickstart their 2025 adventures with its New Year sale offering up to $500 price cuts across its e-bike lineup and free gear in the form of front and rear cargo baskets. One of the most popular models that is benefitting from the most savings is the Mars 2.0 Folding Fat-Tire e-bike at $999 shipped. Normally carrying a $1,499 price tag, this e-bike mostly sees sales take things down to $1,099, with occasional drops lower to $999 while its Black Friday sales saw it go as low as $899. You can gear up today with a $500 markdown that knocks the price to its second-lowest rate that we have tracked, with you also getting both a free front basket and larger rear basket along with your purchase.

A popular means for aspiring riders to step into the e-bike market without shelling out huge amounts of money, the Heybike Mars 2.0 e-bike provides you with a commuter that tops out at 28 MPH speeds for a solid 45 miles of travel on one full charge.

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi is partnering with Ample and Yamoto Transports to deploy an innovative new battery swap network for electric cars in its Japanese home market — but it’s not just for electric cars. Mitsubishi Fuso commercial trucks are getting in on the action, too!

Despite a number of early EV adopters with an overdeveloped concept of ownership, battery swap technology has proven to be both extremely effective and extremely positive to the overall EV ownership experience. And when you see how simple it is to add hundreds of miles of driving in just 100 seconds — quicker, in many cases, than pumping a tank of liquid fuel into an ICE-powered car — you might come around, yourself.

That seems to be what Mitsubishi thinks, anyway, and they’re hoping they’ll be your go-to choice when it’s time to electrify your regional and last-mile commercial delivery fleet(s) by launching a multi-year pilot program to deploy more than 150 battery-swappable commercial electric vehicles and 14 modular battery swapping stations across Tokyo, where the company plans to showcase its “five minute charging” tech in full view of hundreds of commercial fleets and, crucially, the executives of the companies that own and manage them.

How battery swap works for electric trucks

A truck like the Mitsubishi eCanter typically requires a full night of AC charging to top off its batteries, and at least an hour or two on DC charging in Japan, according to Fuso. This joint pilot by Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks, and Ample aims to circumvent this issue of forced downtime with its swappable batteries, supporting vehicle uptime by delivering a full charge within minutes. The move is meant to encourage the transport industry’s EV shift while creating a depository of stored energy that can be deployed to the grid in the event of a natural disaster — something Mitsubishi in Japan has been working on for years.

Trucks like the eCanter already serve a number of roles throughout the global truck market, including municipal waste collection, regional delivery support, and more.

The pilot is backed by Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s “Technology Development Support Project for Promoting New Energy,” with local delivery operator Yamato Transport testing swappable EVs for delivery operations on both its eCanter light-duty trucks and Mitsubishi Minicab kei-class electric vans.

Electrek’s Take

Electrifying the commercial truck fleet is a key part of decarbonizing city truck fleets – not just here in the US, but around the world. I called the eCanter, “a great product for moving stuff around densely packed city streets,” and eliminating the corporate fear of EV charging in the wild just makes it an even better product for that purpose.

Here’s hoping we see more “right size” electric solutions like this one (and more battery swapping tech) in small towns and tight urban environments stateside somewhat sooner than later.

Opel Grandland Blitz AWD electric SUV should give US Jeep fans hope

Opel Grandland Blitz AWD electric SUV should give US Jeep fans hope

After becoming the first European brand to offer fully electric versions of every model it sells — and at the same price as the ICE models — Opel is going even further, with a new, AWD electric SUV that should give American Jeep fans hope for a new electric Cherokee!

Now part of the Stellantis, rather than GM portfolio of brands, Rüsselsheim-based Opel showed off the first official pictures of its new Opel Grandland Electric AWD — the company’s first all-electric SUV to feature the “Blitz” performance emblem and all-wheel drive.

“Our top-of-the-range Grandland SUV is a milestone for Opel,” says Opel CEO Florian Huettl. “Customers already have a choice of battery-electric drive, plug-in hybrid and hybrid with 48-volt technology. We are now offering even more choice with the Grandland Electric AWD and thus ensuring that our customers can enjoy maximum efficiency and safety in diverse weather and road conditions, combined with plenty of driving fun.”

Stellantis gets it right in Europe


Opel says its new, AWD Grandland is its most aerodynamically efficient model yet, with a drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0.278. That efficiency, paired with similarly efficient electric motors and a 73 kWh li-ion NMC battery give the electric crossover a 501 km (311 mile) WLTP range, while a combined 325 hp and 375 lb-ft of torque should make for suitably spirited acceleration to go along with all that green cred.

Suspension and handling, too, are promised to deliver on what Opel claims is a “typical” Teutonic driving experience in the Grandland AWD:

Both driving pleasure and comfort are further emphasized by dampers with frequency selective damping technology. This unique technology comes as standard on the Grandland Electric AWD and incorporates a second hydraulic circuit in the damper chamber to mechanically adapt the damping force in relation to the frequency. Depending on the situation, road surface conditions and driving style, it enables different damping characteristics for comfortable gliding at high frequencies – i.e. with short impacts such as on cobblestones or a manhole cover – as well as for a sporty, ambitious driving style with more direct contact with the road at low frequencies. The Grandland reacts even more immediately and directly to any command from the driver and, as is typical for Opel, remains stable when braking, cornering and at high speeds on the Autobahn.

OPEL PRESS RELEASE

The Opel Grandland Electric AWD ships with four standard drive modes that include “normal,” eco, sport, and 4WD mode, which simulates locking axles and true 4×4 off-road performance. The ESP and traction control systems adopt specific settings to enhance grip in 4WD mode as well, and maximum power and torque are instantly available.

Electrek’s Take

As you maybe could tell by now, feeding European Stellantis EVs into an AI image generator and asking it to “make them into Jeeps” is one of my new favorite things to do. This new Opel is no different, and the resulting image (above) paired with the models’ stated specs give me hope that the next wave of Jeep EVs will do better than the Wagoneer S at attracting buyers. All they really need, I think, is the right name — and the right price, to be winners.

With $25,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going?

With ,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going?

Like a 90s “gifted” kid that was supposed to be a lot of things, the electric Jeep Wagoneer S never really found its place — but with dealers discounting the Jeep brands forward-looking flagship by nearly $25,000, it might be time to give the go-fast Wagoneer S a second look.

SKIP THE STORY: get straight to the deals.

Whether we’re talking about Mercedes-Benz, Cerberus, Fiat, or even Enzo Ferrari, outsiders have labeled Jeep as a potentially premium brand that could, “if managed properly,” command luxury-level prices all over the globe. That hasn’t happened, and Stellantis is just the latest in a long line of companies to sink massive capital into the brand only to realize that people will not, in fact, spend Mercedes money on a Jeep.

That said, the Jeep Wagoneer S is not a bad car (and neither is its totally different, hideously massive, ICE-powered Wagoneer sibling, frankly). Built on the same Stellantis STLA Large vehicle platform that underpins the sporty Charger Daytona EVs, the confusingly-named Wagoneer S packs dual electric motors putting out almost 600 hp. That’s good enough to scoot the ‘ute 0 to 60 mph in a stomach-turning 3.5 seconds and enough, on paper, to convince Stellantis executives that they had developed a real, market-ready alternative to the Tesla Model Y.

With the wrong name and a sky-high starting price of $66,995 (not including the $1,795 destination fee), however, that demand didn’t materialize, leaving the Wagoneer S languishing on dealer lots across the country.

That could be about to change, however, thanks to big discounts on Wagoneer S being reported at CDJR dealers in several states, according to our friends at the Car Dealership Guy podcast.

  • Jimmy Britt Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Georgia, has a Wagoneer S with an MSRP of $67,590 listed at $43,104 ($24,486 off)
  • In Florida, Taverna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat has a $67,590 Wagoneer S slashed to $43,138 ($24,452 off)
  • Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat in Oklahoma has a Wagoneer S listed for $43,425 ($24,165 off)

“Stellantis bet big on electric versions of iconic American brands like Jeep and Dodge, but consumers aren’t buying the premise,” writes CDG’s Marcus Amick. “(Stellantis’ dealer body) is now stuck with expensive EVs that need huge discounts to move, eating into already thin margins while competitors focus on [more] profitable gas-powered vehicles.”

All of which is to say: if you’ve found yourself drawn to the Jeep Wagoneer S, but couldn’t quite stomach the $70,000+ window stickers, you might want to check in with your local Jeep dealer and see how you feel about it at a JCPenneys-like 30% off!
