Rad Power has also launched a new flash sale running parallel to its ongoing deals, dropping two models to their lowest rates, one of which is the RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru e-bike hitting a new $1,199 low. That’s not the only EV lows here, as Greenworks’ 80V Venture e-bikes are all 25% off, with the 27.5-inch commuter e-bike dropping to a new $1,425 low. Lastly, we have Camplux’s new Nano 3 Max Portable Water Heater and Shower returning to its $360 low in its third-ever discount. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s Anker winter sale roundup, the rare Orbit Velo bike tracker deal, and more.

EcoFlow Game Day Power sale drops DELTA Pro 440W solar generator bundle with free bag to new $2,374 low (50% off)

With the Super Bowl on the horizon, EcoFlow is switching up savings with its Game Day Power sale through February 5 that is cutting up to $2,999 off power station price tags, with a bonus 5% off sitewide coupon code, a 15% off accessory discount, and 3x EcoCredits for all the deals on the sale’s main page (listed below). One bundle option that stands out is the site-exclusive DELTA Pro Portable Power Station package with two 220W solar panels and a protective bag for $2,374.05 shipped, after using the code 25EFDCAFF5 at checkout. This combination of items usually runs $4,997 in full, with last year’s Black Friday savings taking things lowest to $2,399. Today, you’re looking at a combined 55% price cut to a new all-time low price that beats out its Black Friday and Cyber Monday pricing.

Able to cover your on-the-go plans as much as it can cover emergency backup needs, EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro provides a much larger 3,600Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can be invested in over time and expanded all the way to 25kWh with additional equipment. With a solid 3,600W output through its 14 port options that can handle most appliances, that number surges up to 7,200W to ensure everything essential gets the juice needed to stay running.

Recharging the station’s own battery is fairly quick, as plugging it into a standard wall outlet will refuel it back to full in just 1.8 hours, or you can get a full recharge in 2.8 hours when utilizing the maximum 1,600W of solar input. All the usual remote smart controls you’ve expected from EcoFlow are available here and can be accessed through the companion app when connected by Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

***Note. The 5% sitewide coupon has not been factored in to the prices below, make sure to enter the code 25EFDCAFF5 at checkout to score the maximum savings!

rad power radrover 6 plus e-bike

Rad Power flash sale drops RadRover 6 Plus and RadExpand 5 e-bikes to lowest prices starting from $1,099

Rad Power is having a flash sale with up to $500 in savings on two of its e-bikes through the weekend, alongside its ongoing sale that ends January 29. Of the inclusions, our favorite out of the two is the RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru Fat-Tire e-bike at $1,199 shipped. Normally priced at $1,599, we saw it hit its lowest rate back at the end of its September fall sales when it fell to $1,299, with Black Friday and Christmas sales keeping costs up at $1,399. Today’s limited-time savings are cutting $400 off the tag to provide you with a new all-time low rate and the perfect opportunity to land your ride through the rest of the year.

My parents own the now discontinued high-step model of the RadRover 6 Plus e-bike, which I regularly cruise around on when visiting them in Virginia, and which I detailed in my Travel Kit here. There’s little question why it’s become one of the brand’s more popular models recently, with its durable design and solid lineup of features. You’ll get a reliable 45+ miles of travel when utilizing its five levels of PAS at up to 20 MPH top speeds thanks to the combination of its 750W brushless geared hub motor and semi-integrated 672Wh battery. There’s also a throttle for pure electric riding, but keep in mind it will cost you mileage to solely use.

As I mentioned in my Travel Kit coverage, this model is a great companion for rides on the streets and for when things go off-road, as the thick Kenda Juggernaut puncture-resistant tires easily tackled the swampy and varying terrain, with the water-resistant connectors providing added protections during these parts of my journeys. Along with these, the bike also comes equipped with a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, fenders to go over both wheels and a solid LCD display to monitor and switch through its settings.

The other offer during this short-term flash sale is the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike at $1,099 shipped, which lands back at the all-time low we only saw during a similar 3-day Cyber Monday flash sale. It sports the same motor and battery combination as the above model, providing the same 20 MPH speeds and 45+ miles of travel through its five PAS levels – all on a single charge. The highlight of its design is the folding frame that makes it far easier to store in tighter spaces (even car trunks/truck beds). It features an LED headlight and taillight integrated with the rear cargo rack that sports automatic and brake lighting. There’s also the 20-inch by 4-inch fat tires with fenders over each, a water-resistant wiring harness, a 7-speed MicroShift derailleur, and an LED display.

Be sure to also check out Rad Power’s full sale spread with its newest models getting free accessories, select tried and true models hitting some of their lowest recent rates, and even extra battery discounts.

Greenworks venture e-bikes

Greenworks’ 80V Venture e-bikes at 25% off with the 27.5-inch commuter hitting a new $1,425 low

Direct from Greenworks, we just spotted all three of the brand’s 80V Venture-series e-bikes getting 25% taken off their price tags, with the lowest price being on the 27.5-inch Commuter e-bike that has fallen to $1,424.99 shipped. Normally keeping to its full $1,900 price tag, we’ve seen very limited discounts since it hit the market at the start of 2024, with Black Friday sales bringing costs down lowest to $1,520. That Black Friday pricing is beaten out here though, saving you $475 at a new all-time low price. It’s even beating out Amazon, where it still sits at its full MSRP.

This 80V commuter e-bike is one of Greenworks’ Venture series models, designed to expand the brand’s versatile battery ecosystem, which is standard across most of its tools. The 350W brushless rear hub motor (that peaks at 500W) is powered by the brand’s included 4.0Ah battery (and you’ll also get a rapid charger) that can be switched out with other tools/batteries you may already own.

Utilizing three different forms of pedal assistance as you ride, you’ll be able to cruise around at 20 MPH top speeds for up to 22 miles on a single 40-minute charge. It also features a front suspension fork, an adjustable suspension seat, a 7-speed Shimano shifter, 27.5-inch Kenda tires, an LED headlight, a rear cargo rack, as well as an LCD display paired with a simple control panel along the handlebars.

Other Greenworks Venture e-bike deals:

Camplux Nano 3 Max portable shower

Camplux’s portable Nano 3 Max heats water for brewing, doing dishes, showering, more at $360 low

Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront, Camplux is offering its Nano 3 Max Portable Propane Water Heater & Shower for $359.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $80 off coupon. Released in November, this newer model has seen few discounts from its full $440 price tag since, which was dropped to $360 for the first time in December and has only repeated once for a short time at the top of 2025. Today’s deal marks the third-ever discount we’ve tracked, cutting $80 off the tag and giving you the means to enjoy outdoor ventures without worrying about bathing options.

Heading out into the wilds beyond your home? Don’t want to have to struggle looking for public means to wash up? Well, Camplux’s new Nano 3 Max is the perfect device to add to your nomad kit, as it comes battery-powered for up to 100 minutes of continuous use after a 3-hour charge (provided you keep its submersion pump in a water source the entire timeframe. It utilizes a small propane tank to provide you with hot water in seconds (while also ensuring the lowest emissions), which you can use for beverages, doing dishes on the fly, or to mainly shower via the included attachments. There’s even a secondary pet shower hose for your furrier companions, as well as three adjustable spray modes.

Best New Year EV deals!

US Customs delays force solar giant Qcells to furlough 1,000 workers

US Customs delays force solar giant Qcells to furlough 1,000 workers

Qcells furlough

Solar panel giant Qcells announced today that it’s temporarily furloughing 1,000 US workers – 25% of its workforce – and reducing pay and shifts at its factories in northeast Georgia due to supply chain delays caused by US Customs.

Qcells furloughs 1,000 workers

The supply chain delays are hindering the company’s ability to import components to build its solar panels. This has resulted in Qcells’ two factories in Cartersville and Dalton being unable to operate at full capacity for several months.

Qcells spokeswoman Marta Stoepker shared the following statement in an exclusive with Channel 2 Action News in Atlanta:

The company says the furloughed workers, who were notified this afternoon, will retain full benefits and won’t be laid off. However, Qcells will no longer be using staffing agency employees in Georgia “at this time.”

As Qcells introduced new supply chains to support its growing solar panel manufacturing facilities in Georgia, the company was recently forced to scale back production while our shipments into the US were delayed in the customs clearance process.

Although our supply chain operations are beginning to normalize, today we shared with our employees that HR actions must be taken to improve operational efficiency until production capacity returns to normal levels.

Stoepker said it expects to bring the furloughed workers back “in the coming weeks and months.” She continued:

Our commitment to building the entire solar supply chain in the United States remains. We will soon be back on track with the full force of our Georgia team delivering American-made energy to communities around the country.

Electrek’s Take

In January 2023, the Seoul-headquartered Qcells announced it would invest more than $2.5 billion to build a solar supply chain in Georgia – the largest-ever investment in clean energy manufacturing in the US to date. That included expanding the Dalton solar factory and building a fully integrated solar supply chain factory in Cartersville, Georgia, that will manufacture solar ingots, wafers, cells, and finished panels.

It’s not quite there yet, because that takes time. In the meantime, it’s being penalized by Customs. The US government under Trump says it’s keen on boosting domestic manufacturing. Why would it work against a company that’s onshoring an entire solar supply chain, including recycling?

Dalton and Cartersville employ nearly 4,000 people. Its total output will reach 8.4 GW of solar production capacity per year, which is equivalent to nearly 46,000 panels per day – enough to power approximately 1.3 million homes annually.

It’s ludicrous that it has been forced to furlough a quarter of its workforce due to the ineptness of the Trump administration’s US Customs policies. This is right up there with the ICE arrests at Hyundai’s plant in Georgia. Bravo.

Toyota is yet again delaying EV battery plans

Toyota is yet again delaying EV battery plans

Toyota-delaying-EV-battery

The breakthrough EV batteries Toyota says will double driving range and cut charging times are facing another setback. The company is once again delaying plans for a new battery plant in Japan.

Why is Toyota delaying its EV battery plant this time?

Earlier this year, Toyota bought a 280,000-square-meter plot of land in Fukuoka, Japan, where it planned to build a plant to produce the more advanced EV batteries.

A location agreement was expected to be signed by April, but Toyota pushed back construction by several months, blaming slower-than-expected demand for electric vehicles.

The agreement was expected to be finalized this Fall, but that will no longer be the case. According to Nikkei, Toyota is delaying the EV battery plant for the second time. Toyota will review and adjust plans over the next year.

Fukuoka governor, Seitaro Hattori, confirmed the news with reporters on Friday following a meeting with Toyota’s president, Koji Sato. Hattori also shut down claims that Toyota was planning to scrap the battery plant altogether.

Toyota again blamed slowing EV demand for the delay. The decision comes despite Keiji Kaita, president of Toyota’s Carbon Neutral Advanced Engineering Development Center, confirming at the Japan Mobility Show just last week that it’s “sticking on the schedule” to introduce its first solid-state battery-powered EV by 2028.

Last month, Toyota said it aimed to “achieve the world’s first practical use of all-solid-state batteries in BEVs” after securing a partnership with Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. to mass-produce them. It’s also working with Japanese oil giant Idemitsu.

The company recently revealed a solid-state battery pack prototype that it claims can deliver 747 miles (1,200 km) range and 10-minute fast charging, but will we ever see it actually in production?

Electrek’s Take

Toyota has been making empty promises about EV batteries for almost a decade now. It initially planned to introduce solid-state EV batteries in 2020, then pushed it to 2023, then 2026, and now it’s saying it will be around 2028.

Mass production is likely closer to the end of the decade, if Toyota doesn’t delay it again. While it’s blaming the slowing demand, global EV sales are still on the rise. According to Rho Motion, global EV sales topped 2 million for the first time in a single month in September 2025. Through the first nine months of the year, EV sales are up 26% compared to the same period in 2024.

Even with the US ending the $7,500 federal tax credit and other policies designed to promote electric vehicles, global adoption will continue building momentum over the next few years.

Is it a demand issue, or is Toyota just looking for another excuse? With rivals like Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, BMW, and Honda advancing next-gen EV batteries, Toyota will only fall further behind if it continues delaying key projects.
