greenworks snow blower and snow shovel kit

Greenworks 80V 20-inch snow blower & 12-inch snow shovel kit with $744 in savings at new $456 low (Today only)

Courtesy of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 80V 20-inch Snow Blower and 12-inch Snow Shovel Kit with two 4.0Ah batteries for $455.99 shipped through the rest of the day. It’s normally carrying a $1,200 tag at full price, which is getting a $744 cut from it today to a new all-time low. You won’t find this combo kit on Greenworks’ site or Amazon, with the two individual tools at Amazon discounted to $360 and $234 right now ($594 total) – and that’s not even considering that both come with 2.0Ah batteries over 4.0Ah, which would cost you more to upgrade.

This 2-tool combo kit from Greenworks is the perfect package to support you through the seasonal duties of snow clearing – with the two included 4.0Ah batteries and complimentary rapid charger coming along to ensure there’s enough power to clear your 4-car driveway on a single charge. The snow blower carves out a 20-inch wide path as deep as 10 inches, with the snow discharged up to 20 feet away thanks to the 180-degree rotating chute. Heavy snow and ice is better broken up with its auger-assist system, and the main chassis has been given LED headlights for those low visibility hours.

The snow shovel is a great companion that is much better suited for 12-inch wide paths through your buried walkways, going as deep as 6 inches. There’s a 45-minute runtime here, with it featuring a lock-out button that keeps you from automatically starting it – a great safety precaution for when your digits start getting stiff from the cold.

GoTrax Z4 Pro foldable e-bike

For today only you can save $501 on GoTrax’s class 3 Z4 Pro foldable e-bike at the $799 low

Through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is bringing back the December holiday lows on the GoTrax Z4 Pro Foldable e-bike for $799 shipped. Down from its regular $1,300 full price, which rose in June from $1,100 thanks to those tariffs, we mostly saw it falling to $1,000 over the last year, with it occasionally falling further to $860 and one drop to the $799 low last month. That same low rate is returning here for today only, giving you the chance at a great starter e-bike with $501 in savings at the lowest price we have seen anywhere. It can’t be found directly from GoTrax or at Amazon either, with Best Buy being the main retailer offering it so low – and you won’t be hard stretched to find replacement parts as they are fairly easy to come by.

GoTrax’s Z4 Pro is a great option for first-time riders wanting to jump into the e-bike world, as well as veteran riders in need of a budget-friendly commuter that offers more travel time. It will support you through your travels for up to 50 miles on one full charge, hitting a maximum 28 MPH speed. One of the biggest draws here is the performance mixed with its foldable design that is “built to go where other e-bikes can’t…even when you aren’t riding.” It also comes stocked with off-road fat tires, a front wheel suspension, fenders on both wheels, a rear storage rack, and a display that gives you real-time data.

Best New Year EV deals!

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.

Tesla’s retro-futuristic diner and Supercharger is here and it looks sick

Tesla's retro-futuristic diner and Supercharger is here and it looks sick

Tesla Diner

Tesla’s retro-futuristic diner with Superchargers and giant movie screens is ready to open, and I have to admit, it looks pretty sick.

This project has been in the works for a long time.

In 2018, Elon Musk said that Tesla planned to open an “old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in Los Angeles.” It was yet another “Is he joking?” kind of Elon Musk idea, but he wasn’t kidding.

A few months later, Tesla applied for building permits for “a restaurant and Supercharger station” at a location in Santa Monica. However, the project stalled for a long time, apparently due to local regulations.

Nevertheless, Tesla still moved forward with a Supercharger at the location, but it had to move the diner project to Hollywood. In 2022, Tesla filed the construction plans with the city, giving us the first look at what the automaker intends to build.

In 2023, the automaker broke ground on the site of the diner.

7 years after being originally announced, the project appears now ready to open:

Musk said that he ate at the diner last night and claimed that it is “one of the coolest spots in LA.” He didn’t say when it will open, but Tesla vehicles have been spotted at Supercharger and people appear to be testing the dinning experience inside.

A Tesla Optimus Robot can be seen inside the diner on a test rack. It looks like Tesla might use one for some tasks inside the diner.

Earlier this year, Tesla integrated the diner into its mobile app – hinting at some interaction through the app – possibly ordering from it.

Electrek’s Take

I think it looks pretty cool. I am a fan of the design and concept.

However, considering the state of the Tesla community, I don’t think I’d like the vibes. That said, it looks like Tesla isn’t prominently pushing its branding on the diner.

You can come and charge there, but it looks like Tesla is also aiming to get a wider clientele just for dining.

Westinghouse plans to build 10 large nuclear reactors in U.S., interim CEO tells Trump

Westinghouse plans to build 10 large nuclear reactors in U.S., interim CEO tells Trump

Van Applegate | CNBC

Westinghouse plans to build 10 large nuclear reactors in the U.S. with construction to begin by 2030, interim CEO Dan Sumner told President Donald Trump at a roundtable in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Westinghouse’s big AP1000 reactor generates enough electricity to power more than 750,000 homes, according to the company. Building 10 of these reactors would drive $75 billion of economic value across the U.S. and $6 billion in Pennsylvania, Sumner said.

The Westinghouse executive laid out the plan to Trump during a conference on energy and artificial intelligence at Carnegie Mellon University. Technology, energy and financial executives announced more than $90 billion of investment in data centers and power infrastructure at the conference, according to the office of Sen. Dave McCormick, who organized the event.

Trump issued four executive orders in May that aim to quadruple nuclear power in the U.S. by 2050. The president called for the U.S. to have 10 nuclear plants under construction by 2050. He ordered a “wholesale revision” of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s rules and guidelines.

The U.S. has built only two new nuclear reactors over the past 30 years, both of which were Westinghouse AP1000s at Plant Vogtle in Waynesboro, Georgia. The project notoriously came in $18 billion over budget and seven years behind schedule, contributing to the bankruptcy of Westinghouse.

The industry stalwart emerged from bankruptcy in 2018 and us now owned by Canadian uranium miner Cameco and Brookfield Asset Management.

Westinghouse announced a partnership with Google on Tuesday to use AI tools to make the construction of AP1000s an “efficient, repeatable process,” according to the company.

Hyundai's electric minivan sheds its camo: Check out the new Staria EV

Hyundai's-electric-minivan-camo

Hyundai’s electric minivan is finally out in the open. The Staria EV was caught without camo near Hyundai’s R&D center in Korea, giving us a closer look at the electric minivan undisguised.

Hyundai’s electric minivan drops camo ahead of debut

The Staria arrived in 2021 as the successor to the Starex, Hyundai’s multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). Although the Staria has received several updates throughout the years, 2026 will be its biggest by far.

Hyundai will launch the Staria EV, its first electric minivan. Like the current model, the 2026 Staria will be available in several different configurations, including cargo, passenger, and even a camper version.

We’ve seen the Staria EV out in public a few times already. Last month, we got a glimpse of it while driving on public roads in Korea.

Despite the camouflage, new EV-like design elements were visible, including updated LED headlights and a full-length light bar. Although it’s still unclear, the electric version appears to be roughly the same size as the current Staria from the side, but slightly wider from the front.

New images posted on the South Korean forum Clien reveal a test car, expected to be Hyundai’s Staria electric minivan, without camo.

Like most Hyundai test cars, the prototype has a black front and a grey body. It still features a similar look to other prototypes we’ve seen, but you can clearly see the new facelift.

Earlier this year, a Staria EV was spotted in a parking lot in Korea, featuring a similar look. The electric version is nearly identical to the Staria Lounge, but with an added charge port and closed-off grille.

The Hyundai Staria EV is expected to make its global debut later this year. Technical details have yet to be revealed, but it’s expected to feature either a 76 kWh or 84 kWh battery, providing a range of around 350 km (217 miles) to 400 km (249 miles).

Hyundai’s electric SUV arrives after Kia introduced its first electric van, the PV5, which launched in Europe and Korea earlier this year.

In Europe, the Kia Passenger PV5 model is available with two battery pack options: 51.5 kWh and 71.2 kWh, providing WLTP ranges of 179 miles and 249 miles, respectively. The Cargo version has a WLTP range of 181 miles or 247 miles.
