Leading the group is Rad Power’s flash sale with two end dates (January 20 and January 29), price cuts, free accessory offers, and free extra battery opportunities across many models, like the RadRunner 2 Utility e-bike at $1,299 and coming with an extra battery for double the travel distance, among others.

Hop on Rad Power’s RadRunner 2 ‘jack-of-all-trades’ e-bike at $1,299 and get a free extra battery (Save $649)

Rad Power has launched a flash sale through January 20 (with some deals continuing past to January 29) with up to $699 in savings across a solid selection of e-bikes – complete with free extra battery offers too. One such offer getting the doubled mileage in Rad Power’s flash sale is the popular RadRunner 2 Utility e-bike at $1,299 shipped. Regularly priced at $1,499 after the summer’s tariffs hit, we saw it go as low as $1,199 in pre-summer sales, with July being the last time we saw its lowest rate before getting its price upped by $100. Today’s deal returns costs to the second-lowest price overall and the lowest price tracked since summer saving you a total of $649 in all.

Rad Power has named the RadRunner 2 Utility e-bike as its “jack-of-all-trades” model, ready to assist you through just about anything – errands, commutes, joyrides, and more. You’ll enjoy a 50-mile travel range (doubled to 100 miles with the extra battery) at up to its 20 MPH top speed thanks to the combination of its 672Wh battery and 750W brushless-geared hub motor.

Stocked features include a rear-mounted cargo rack that offers a 120-pound payload, puncture-resistant fat tires, a standard LED headlight, and an integrated taillight with both brake light and flash mode capabilities.

Rad Power flash sale e-bike accessory deals (ending January 29)

EcoFlow DELTA power stations

EcoFlow 24-hour flash sale takes up to 50% off three sizes of LiFePO4 power stations with free gear starting from $499

As part of its ongoing New Year sale, EcoFlow has launched a 24-hour flash sale that is dropping three of its power stations (some coming with free gear) to some of the lowest rates we have seen recently. Starting from the smallest and working up, the first offer is on the DELTA 2 Portable Power Station that comes with a waterproof bag at $499 shipped. Normally priced for $999 at full, we’ve only seen it go lower twice before – once to $489 during October’s Prime Day and the other taking things to $399 for short-lived Cyber Monday savings. Today, you’re not only getting $500 off the going rate, but you’ll be doing so $50 under the rate we saw during Black Friday sales while also getting the free waterproof bag for added protection.

A great travel companion for trips out of the home, the DELTA 2 provides you with 1,024Wh of LiFePO4 capacity that expands up to 3,000Wh by adding an extra battery (bundle option for $999 here). It pumps out power at up to 1,800W speeds, surging to 2,200W, through its 15 port options. The station’s battery can be brought back to 80% in 50 minutes via a wall outlet, while a full charge will take a little longer at 80 minutes. You can also take advantage of up to 500W of solar charging capabilities to refill the battery in three to six hours – or you can invest in the brand’s alternator charger to charge up as you drive.

The second of these short-term deals is the DELTA Pro Portable Power Station that gets a free transfer switch (letting you back up your circuit breaker with the station) for $2,099 shipped, with the station alone normally priced at $3,699. You’re getting plenty more here starting at a 3,600Wh LiFePO4 capacity (which expands to 25kWh with additional equipment) that provides 3,600W of output (surging to 7,200W) through 14 ports. A wall outlet tops its battery off in 1.8 hours, with its full 1,600W of solar input giving you a recharge in 2.8 hours.

Lastly, there’s the full home backup option in the DELTA Pro Ultra Portable Power Station for $4,699 shipped, down from $6,098, which comes at the second-lowest price we’ve seen direct from the brand. It starts at an even higher 6,100Wh LiFePO4 capacity with a 7,200W output, but that can easily be bolstered up to 90kWh capacity and a 21.6kW output with multiples of its full setups connected together. Outside of its 5.6kW to 16.8kW solar input range, a wall outlet will juice up the battery in two hours, with EV piles, and generators also an option.

And be sure to also check out EcoFlow’s full phase 2 of New Year savings across its lineup while it lasts – these deals will officially be ending at the end of January 19.

Heybike Ranger S e-bike

Heybike’s Ranger S Folding e-bike with $208 in free gear falls to $1,099 in weekend flash sale

Heybike is having a flash sale opportunity through January 19 on its popular Ranger S Folding e-bike at $1,099 shipped while also coming with free baskets worth $208. Normally this e-bike and the bundle would run you $1,707 ($1,499 for the e-bike alone) all together, but this combined 36% markdown is saving you $608 off that rate while things last. We have seen it go lower, primarily during Black Friday sales and random flash sales earlier in the year when it would fall to $999, as well as a one-day $899 low on November 29, which we haven’t seen again since. Regardless, this is still a solid chunk of savings – plus the included baskets ups the utility of this reliable commuter.

The Ranger S Folding e-bike cruises into view as one of the most popular and best-selling models from under Heybike’s flag, and it’s not hard to see why at such a low price compared to other big names on the market. You can choose between the standard 750W (1,400W peak) or the upgraded 1,000W (1,800W peak) rear hub motors, which will really come down to how much speed and incline-tackling power you need for your area. Keep in mind that the 1,000W model comes with a higher $1,299 price tag ($400 off). Both models come with a 692Wh battery and five pedal assistance levels – with a cadence sensor for the 750W model and a superior torque sensor for the 1,000W model. You’ll be cruising around town for up to 55 miles on these models at 28 MPH top speeds for the 750W motor and a faster 32 MPH top speed for the 1,000W motor.

It even comes with an improved 4A charger that comes in twice as strong as the average e-bike chargers we usually see, cutting down charging times to just four hours to get a full battery. There are plenty of solid features here too, like the folding step-thru frame, the 20-inch fat tires that come with fenders over top each, an LED headlight, a LED taillight with brake lighting that’s been integrated into the rear cargo rack, a hydraulic front suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes, and a smart LCD display, among others.

The other model that often keeps side by side in popularity with the Ranger S is the brand’s Mars 2.0 Folding Fat Tire e-bike that is also still benefitting from its New Year discounts at $999 with free baskets too. You can check out the full lineup of offers while they last on the landing page here.

Tesla offered many Cybertruck trade-ins above purchase price in apparent glitch

Tesla offered many Cybertruck trade-ins above purchase price in apparent glitch

Tesla prices 2025

Over the weekend, Tesla began offering many Cybertruck trade-in estimated values above the original purchase price, apparently due to a glitch in its system.

Tesla offers online trade-in estimates for individuals considering purchasing a vehicle from them.

Over the last few days, Cybertruck owners who submitted their vehicles through the system were surprised to see Tesla offering extremely high valuations on the vehicle, often above what they originally paid for the electric truck.

Here are a few examples:

Advertisement – scroll for more content

  • $79,200 for a 2025 Cybertruck AWD with 18,000 miles. Since this is a 2025 model year, it was eligible for the tax credit and Tesla is offering the same price as new without incentive.
  • Here Tesla offered $118,800 for a 2024 Cybertruck ‘Cyberbeast’ tri-motor with 21,000 miles.
  • In this example, Tesla offers $11,000 more than the owner originally paid for a 2024 Cybertruck.

The trade-in estimates made no sense. Tesla has been known to offer more attractive estimates online and then come lower with the official final offer, but this is on a whole different level.

Some speculated that Tesla’s trade-in estimate system was malfunctioning, while others thought Tesla was indirectly recalling early Cybertrucks.

It appears to be the former.

Some Tesla Cybertruck owners who tried to go through a new order with their Cybertruck as a trade-in were told by Tesla advisors that the system was “glitching” and they would not be honoring those prices.

Tesla told buyers that it would be refunding its usually “non-refundable” order fee.

Electrek’s Take

That’s a weird glitch. I assume that it was trying to change how the trade-in value would be estimated and the new math didn’t work for the Cybertruck for whatever reason.

It’s the only thing that makes sense to me.

The Cybertruck’s value is already quite weird due to the fact that Tesla still has new vehicles made in 2024, which are not eligible for the tax credit incentive, while the new ones made in 2025 are eligible.

There’s also the Foundation Series, which bundles many features for a $20,000 higher price.

All these things affect the value and can make it hard to compare with new Cybertrucks offered with 0% interest.

At $28,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going? [update]

At $28,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going? [update]

Deep discounts hit Jeep’s flagship EV as Stellantis struggles with demand

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 when dealers started discounting the Jeep brands forward-looking flagship by nearly $25,000 back in June, I wrote that it might be time to give the go-fast Wagoneer S a second look.

This month, the discounts are even better.

UPDATE 23AUG25: I found you some even better EV 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:

  • Jeff Belzer’s in Minnesota has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,790 MSRP for $39,758 ($28,032 off)
  • Troncalli CDJR in Georgia has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,590 MSRP for $42,697 ($24,893 off)
  • Whitewater CDJR in Minnesota has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,790 MSRP for $43,846 ($23,944 off)
  • Antioch CDJR in Illinois has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,790 MSRP for $44,540 ($23,250 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!

New 50-ton SANY reach stacker brings Formula 1 tech to the job site

New 50-ton SANY reach stacker brings Formula 1 tech to the job site

Sany launches world’s first 50-tonne energy storage reach stacker

Multinational equipment brand SANY just launched a clever new 50-ton reach stacker that pairs gravity and an F1-style KERS system to generate electricity, improve operating efficiency, and reduce costs. The best part: they’re putting that smart tech to work by helping clean up (and shore up) the grid.

Short for Kinetic Energy Recovery System, KERS was a staple of Formula 1 in the late aught and 2010s. Essentially an advanced form of regenerative braking, KERS captured the kinetic energy of a car at speed that would normally be lost as heat when the brake pads pressed against the brake discs. Instead of heat, KERS converted that energy into electricity (storing it in a battery or flywheel), to be deployed later.

Sebastian Vettel explains KERS

4x WDC Sebastian Vettel explains KERS.

In practice, KERS gave drivers an extra boost of horsepower at the push of a button, enabling them to attack or defend their position on track and adding a fresh strategic element to the sport. In SANY’s case, that stored power is fed back into the reach stacker’s electric hydraulic system, reducing pressure loss across the high-pressure setup by 50%, and lowering the machine’s overall energy consumption by more than 60%.

Energy recovery is a key feature. The potential energy of the boom, lifting gear and energy storage cabinets during the boom’s descent can be recovered efficiently with an overall recovery efficiency of over 65%. That means every 1 kWh of consumption in lifting can be recovered by 0.4 kWh during descent.

SANY

The 50t reach stacker is available with a 512 kWh swappable battery pack that’s compatible with other SANY heavy equipment assets, and supports both DC fast charging when swapping isn’t practical or (for whatever reason) desirable.

On a single charge and backed by the onboard KERS, that’s good enough for the machine can lift and move containers for more than 7 continuous hours, which SANY claims significantly reducing downtime for charging compared to other, similar equipment assets.

The new SANY reach stacker can stack six 50-ton containers, greatly enhancing a site’s container and battery storage density within a limited space. The first units will reach unnamed customers building out a utility-scale energy storage project by the end of this month.

Electrek’s Take

50 tonne electric reach stacker; via SANY.

All the great stuff I was saying about the new 65-tonne XCMG still holds true for the SANY (especially when they take the wraps off their own 65t BESS-specific unit later this year), but the SANY adds smart battery swap tech and what seems to be more efficient operations, too.

Regardless of which one you choose, it seems like the available options for reach stacker operators are just getting better and better!
