We’re kicking off another week of Green Deals, with today’s offers following behind NIU’s latest sale that has dropped its 40-mile trekking KQi3 Max Electric Kick Scooter to $600, coming in $1 above its Black Friday/Cyber Monday pricing, among other models. We also spotted Camplux’s Nano 3 Max Portable Water Heater and Shower falling to its $360 low, as well as Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station hitting $499, with other on-the-go backup power options as well. Lastly, we have a one-day discount on the budget-friendly Snow Joe 24V ION+ 13-inch Single-Stage Cordless Electric Snow Shovel for $159, but keep in mind that the deal only lasts until midnight. We also have all the other hangover Green Deals from last week in the links at the bottom of the page, collected together in our Electrified Weekly roundup from over the weekend.
Go the distance on NIU’s KQi3 Max electric kick scooter with a 40-mile travel range at $600
NIU is offering ongoing savings through January 23 across its KQi-series e-scooters for folks looking to add a new solution to commuting needs at affordable rates. With so many models dropping back to their lowest prices, one notable standout for those who want to go the distance is NIU’s KQi3 Max Electric Kick Scooter at $599.98 shipped. Normally running at a much steeper $999 full rate, we’ve seen discounts mainly taking this model down around $700 most sales, with Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales dropping things to the $599 low. It’s coming in during this sale at only $1 higher, giving you the second-lowest price we have seen to date while saving you nearly $400 in the process. You’ll also find this model matching in price over at Amazon.
One of the best e-scooters under NIU’s flag for folks in need of longer-range travel support, the KQi3 Max e-scooter can go the distance thanks to its 608.4Wh battery that carries riders up to 40 miles on a single charge. You’ll be cruising through your commute at up to a max of 23.6 MPH, after unlocking the speed in the app – with its 450W motor even able to peak in power enough to conquer up to 25% inclines, which beats out a majority of other competitors on the market.
The NIU KQi3 Max e-scooter has been given a triple braking system for ensured stopping power, with one of them being a regenerative brake that recycles energy for extended travels. Everything sits atop two self-healing tires for rides along questionable terrain (or even streets littered with glass, nails, and more), as well as a halo headlight, brake lighting, and smart controls via the app, which includes unlocking those higher speeds and even locking the scooter when you’re not riding.
Shower anywhere with Camplux’s Nano 3 Max portable water heater with pet-friendly hoses at $360 low
Camplux’s official Amazon storefront is bringing costs back to their lowest rate on the brand’s latest Nano 3 Max Portable Water Heater and Shower for $359.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $80 off coupon. This new model released in November carrying a $440 price tag, which we saw drop for the first time to $360 during early Christmas sales. You’re getting a second chance here today at its lowest price to date, saving you $80 while equipping your out-of-home ventures with a reliable means to heat water and shower – with attachments for your pets too!
The Camplux Nano 3 Max is a perfect addition to travel kits – regardless of if you’re tackling the open road or settling down for weekend camping. The battery-powered unit uses a small propane tank (for the lowest emissions) to provide you with hot water in a matter of seconds, delivering up to 100 minutes of continuous use on one full 3-hour charge, so long as you keep its submersion pump in a water source. The shower function provides three adjustable spray modes, with a secondary pet shower hose included for your furry companions.
Right now, you can save a little extra money by going with the brand’s Nano 3 Pro counterpart, which is down at $339.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $60 off coupon. The main difference here is the battery lasts 10 minutes shorter and doesn’t include and pet-focused hoses like the above model, but it’s still an equally handy devices to have available on your travels.
For those looking to update their home’s showers, you can also land Camplux’s 18kW or 27kW electric tankless water heaters at their lowest prices right now starting from $240.
Score $300 in savings on Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 LiFePO4 power station for your 2025 trips at $499
Its direct New Year sale may be over, but Jackery is still offering some select ongoing deals through its official Amazon storefront, like the price cut we’re seeing on the Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station that has kept costs down at $499 shipped. This unit would normally run you $799 on other days, with this discount repeating the same pricing we saw in the brand’s most recent New Year event, with it only beaten out by its $459 Black Friday rate and the $399 Cyber Monday low. You’ll save $300 here today at the third-lowest price we have tracked, giving you one of the brand’s latest releases at one of its best prices to date. There is a bundle option available that gives you the power station with a 200W solar panel for $749, down from $1,299.
Jackery’s newer Explorer 1000 v2 delivers some serious power output from a compact unit, with its upgraded 1,070Wh LiFePO4 capacity able to pump power out at up to 1,500W on the regular, with it surging up to 3,000W for those larger appliance needs. There’s a solid mix of seven port options to connect to/from – with three ACs, two USB-Cs, one USB-A, and a car port. Hooking it up to a wall outlet will refill the battery in 1.6 hours, with that time cut down to just one hour with the emergency charging features activated through the smart controls on the app. You can also take advantage of its 600W maximum solar input to get a full battery in three hours via the sun’s rays.

Clear snow on a budget with Snow Joe’s 24V ION+ 13-inch cordless electric snow shovel bundle at $159 (Today only)
The first thing you might consider with this snow shovel from Snow Joe is the fact that you’ll be saving plenty more space in your garage or shed over larger, more traditional snow blowers. This more compact tool makes a 13-inch wide path through the powder with a depth of six inches – and all without the noise/fumes from gas-guzzling counterparts or the need for any extension cords. Snow is cleared out via the 2-blade paddle auger and tossed up to 20 feet out of your walkways/driveways, with the battery even coming interchangeable with other Snow Joe and Sun Joe equipment you may already have.
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.

French hydrogen firm Hyvia has been given a stay of execution. The Commercial Court of Versaille has given Hyvia a few extra weeks to get through its insolvency proceedings and find a buyer – but, frankly, it ain’t lookin’ good.
Hyvia began life as a joint venture between French carmaker Renault and American company Plug Power in 2021, but as anyone with more than a social media headline-deep knowledge of hydrogen’s shortcomings as a transportation already know: it’s impossible for hydrogen to compete with BEVs.
To its credit, Renault seems to have learned those rather expensive lessons about hydrogen well – and has learned so much about hydrogen that it’s committed to a full range of battery electric delivery vans. The French carmaker’s new vans range in size from something like an MPV/minivan on up to a box van and something like one of the Amazon delivery vans built by Rivian called the Estafette E-Tech (below, center).

But this article isn’t about Renault’s EVs, it’s about the hydrogen-powered Hyvia brand – and Hyvia doesn’t seem to be long for this world. That hard truth becomes even more obvious when you read the company’s own statement on the matter, which is almost wholly devoid of self-awareness and full of external blame:
For three years, HYVIA, one of the first companies to invest and innovate in hydrogen mobility, has developed an offer, in a market which unfortunately still remains absent.
The too slow evolution of hydrogen mobility ecosystems in Europe and the very significant development costs required for H2 innovation led to this decision.
The new Liebherr Liduro Power Port 100 is the company’s newest, smallest battery energy storage system to charge electric construction equipment or power up a mobile office – and it’s coming to bauma 2025.
Access to power on construction sites can be limited or non-existent – even if you’re working for the power company! Liebherr understands this better than most, and they’re developing a series of portable energy storage solutions like the Liduro Power Port (LPO) to make sure electrified job sites can keep the lights on.
Liebherr put the LPO 100 to work by French construction firm CJ Bois, in France, to power a 65 K.1 bottom-slewing crane on a construction site. With access to a standard 2 kW household outlet, the LPO 100 was able to deliver up to 26 kW power up to on-site equipment the next day.
“Available for sale and very soon for rental, Liduro completes our commercial offering,” comments Cyrille Prudhomme, business development manager at Liebherr Distribution and Services France. “(The LPO) enables us to expand our service offering to our customers by providing a concrete response to the electrification of the construction sites and many other applications.”
For their part, CJ Bois seems happy with the Liduro. “We were very pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was throughout the worksite,” says the site manager at CJ Bois. “Compared to an internal combustion engine generator, Liduro significantly improves our working conditions, and we feel less tired at the end of the day. It also facilitates communication on site, which contributes to staff safety.”
Liebherr will bring the LPO 100 to bauma for the first time this year, with customer deliveries set to begin soon after. The company says it can be used with maximum efficiency to supply electricity to fast-erecting tower cranes and small- to medium-sized machines like Liebherr’s own L 507 E compact electric wheel loader.
