EcoFlow’s Valentine’s Day sale returns DELTA Pro bundle with two 220W panels and bag to $2,374 low
EcoFlow is showing its customers the love with its newly launched Valentine’s Day sale through February 23 that is taking up to 57% off units, while also providing $100 in bonus savings for every $2,000 spent, as well as an extra 5% off sitewide discount. One notable return is the brand’s DELTA Pro Portable Power Station bundled with two 220W solar panels and a protective bag for $2,374.05 shipped, after using the code 25EFVDAFF at checkout. You’d normally be pressed for $5,096 for this package at full price, but the $2,722 in savings here provide a second chance at the lowest rate we’ve tracked, which beats out even recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday pricing.
One of the most popular and expansive power stations under the brand’s flag, this EcoFlow DELTA Pro solar generator bundle is a great starting kit for your backup needs, able to cover trips, outdoor events, and even appliances during blackouts. The LiFePO4 batteries start with a 3,600Wh capacity that you can further expand up to 25kWh with future investments in add-on equipment. Its 14 ports dish out 3,600W of power output, which will cover most appliances, with things surging up to 7,200W to ensure essential devices stay running.
Plugging the power station into a wall outlet will have the station’s battery recharged in 1.8 hours, or you can refill its capacity in 2.8 hours should you have the maximum 1,600W of solar input available (with the 440W here obviously taking more time). Keeping track of its settings and monitoring charging statuses doesn’t have to keep you nearby either, as the companion app gives you the full array of remote smart controls you’d expect, it just takes a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection.
***Note: The 5% sitewide coupon has not been factored in to the prices below, make sure to enter the code 25EFVDAFF at checkout to score the maximum savings!

Grab Lectric’s premium ONE long-range e-bike with $308 in free gear and bonus extra battery savings option at $2,199
As part of Lectric’s ongoing Valentine’s Day sale, which you can check out in full in our original coverage here, the brand is offering its ONE Long-Range e-bike at $2,199 shipped with $308 in free gear thrown in too. It seems Lectric is keeping this e-bike down at $2,199 since cutting the price back during October, with this entire package valued at $2,507. While it’s not the largest bundle we’ve seen on this model, it is among the more sizeable ones, with you getting a free rear cargo rack, fenders, mirrors, and an accordion-style folding bike lock along with your purchase. As a bonus offer, Lectric is even taking $200 off the cost of an extra battery (found on-page) that would double its travel distance to 120 miles. You can also save 40% on the Wag-Along Pet Trailer during this sale at $107, down from $179.
The ONE long-range e-bike is Lectric’s premium commuter, sporting upgrades unseen on other models, like the Pinion auto-shifting gearbox, the Gates CDC 113-tooth Carbon Drive Belt System, and the 24A potted motor controller for effortless peaking to its maximum output power. The equipped Sutto 750W rear hub-motor (peaking at 1,310W) provides you with a top speed of either 20 or 28 MPH, depending on your state’s laws, while the 48V 14Ah battery keeps things running for up to 60 miles on a single charge (which increases to 120 miles if you take advantage of the extra battery discount). There are five PWR-supported pedal assistance levels with this model, with lag times between the system cut down thanks to the 96 magnet cadence sensors.
Pure electric cruising is possible thanks to the additional thumb throttle inclusion, with your riding experience further improved from the 20-inch puncture-resistant city tires, an integrated headlight and taillight – plus, hydraulic mineral oil disc brakes, and a new color LCD display. Its sleek look is kept organized via the hidden cable routing, with cargo-hauling needs met thanks to the included free gear, and it never hurts to have a sturdy bike lock if you’re one to want to stop off at the store while you’re out, among the other bonus gear.
Check out the full lineup of Lectric’s Valentine’s Day savings with up to $654 in bundled gear while they last – and passenger packages being offered on the brand’s best-selling XP 3.0 e-bikes.
Clear an 18-car driveway with Greenworks’ 80V 24-inch cordless two-stage snow blower at $1,400 (Today only)
Coming in via its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 80V 24-inch Cordless Brushless Two-Stage Snow Blower with two 4.0Ah batteries for $1,399.99 shipped. This heavy-duty package would normally cost you $2,000 at full price here and $2,100 direct from Greenworks, with mostly these one-day-only sales being the main source of savings that we’ve seen over the last year, the biggest of which took things to the $1,300 low in February 2024. You can take advantage of the 30% markdown here today to score $600 in savings at the second-lowest price we have tracked – $100 above the all-time low. It’s also beating out Greenworks’ direct pricing, which has it down at $2,000.
Plenty of folks in the Northeast and Midwest are aware that the snow season isn’t over yet, and this 80V heavy-duty solution from Greenworks makes an excellent companion for clearing it out of your way. The digitally-controlled brushless motor comes powered by the two 4.0Ah batteries to clear out an 18-car driveway on a single 60-minute charge using the dual-port turbocharger (with the blower offering a third slot for any existing batteries you may already have). It clears a 24-inch wide path at up to 18 inches deep, tossing the snow up to 50 feet out of the way with its 200-degree rotating chute. There’s also the zero-turn self-propelled hub motor wheels that won’t be bogged down in the powder or ice – plus, the LED lights provide visibility for those darker hours that you’re working.
If you’re looking for a less advanced snow removal device to handle clearing out occasional snowfall, or you just want to save some money over the above unit, you can check out the discounted equipment being offered direct from Greenworks’ site here.

Tesla has started accepting Cybertruck trade-ins, something that wasn’t the case more than a year after deliveries of the electric pickup truck started.
We are starting to see why Tesla didn’t accept its own vehicle as a trade-in: the depreciation is insane.
The Cybertruck has been a commercial flop.
When Tesla started production and deliveries in late 2023, the vehicle was significantly more expensive and had less performance than initially announced.
Advertisement – scroll for more content
At one point, Tesla boasted having over 1 million reservations for the electric pickup truck, but only about 40,000 people ended up converting their reservations into orders.
Tesla didn’t share an explanation at the time, but we assumed that the automaker knew the Cybertruck was depreciating at an incredible rate and didn’t want to be stuck with more trucks than it was already dealing with.
Now, Tesla has started taking Cybertruck trade-ins, at least for the Foundation Series, and it is now providing estimates to Cybertruck owners (via Cybertruck Owners Club):
Tesla sold a brand-new 2024 Cybertruck AWD Foundation Series for $100,000. Now, with only 6,000 miles on the odometer, Tesla is offering $65,400 for it – 34.6% depreciation in just a year.
Pickup trucks generally lose about 20% of their value after a year and 34% after about 3-4 years.
It’s also wroth nothing that Tesla’s online “trade-in estimates” are often higher than the final offer as noted in the footnote o fhte screenshot above.
Electrek’s Take
This is already extremely high depreciation, but Tesla is actually trying to save face with estimates like this one.
As Tesla wouldn’t even accept Cybertruck trade-ins, used car dealers also slowed down their purchases as they also didn’t want to be caught with the trucks sitting on their lots for too long.
On Car Guru, the Cybertruck’s depreciation is actually closer to 45% after a year and that’s more representative of the offers owners should expect from dealers.
That’s entirely Tesla’s fault. The company created no scarcity with the Foundation Series. They built as many as people wanted. In fact, they built too many and ended having to “buff out” the Foundation Series badges on some units to sell them as regular Cybertrucks and as of last month, Tesla still had some Cybertruck Foundations Series in inventory – meaning they have been sitting around for up to 6 months.
Now, Tesla is stuck with thousands of Cybertrucks, early owners are already getting rid of their vehicles at an impressive rate, and the automaker had to slow production to a crawl.

Australian logistics company Linfox is making big moves to electrify its heavy-duty semi fleet with the addition of thirty new Volvo FH and FM Electric semi trucks as the Swedish brand works to begin production at its Brisbane facility.
Volvo Trucks is expecting to begin full scale production of its FH and FM Electric semi trucks at the Brisbane factory in early 2026, just in time to fill the Linfox order – which happens to be the company’s largest in Australia. So far.
“We are very proud to continue our close partnership with Linfox. The order for 30 Volvo electric trucks is proof of their trust in our company and in zero-emissions transport as a viable solution here and now,” said Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks. “Our commitment to start building electric trucks in Australia demonstrates our confidence in this technology, and means we can offer an industry-leading range of purpose-built electric trucks all around the world.”
“Linfox is excited to partner with Volvo in driving the future and leading sustainable logistics in Australia,” explains Peter Fox AM (Member of the Order of Australia), Executive Chairman of Linfox. “Further electrifying our fleet sets the standard for us and our customers and the entire industry.”
Linfox’ latest order includes 29 Volvo FH Electric and one FM Electric semi. The company currently has four electric Volvo trucks in its fleet of 195 semis, with plans to continue to electrify as ICE-powered assets reach retirement.
Electrek’s Take
Linfox Volvo semi fleet; via Volvo Trucks.
Now counting miles in operation in the tens of millions and rolling out its third generation of electric semi trucks, Volvo (and, by extension, Mack and Renault) continue to build a huge lead in the commercial trucking space. The competition, meanwhile, seems content to post pictures of its first factory while trucks that have been on order for years still haven’t reached customers.
I can’t see how they (Tesla) catch up from here.

Oakland International Airport (OAK) in Alameda, California is helping stressed-out air passengers breathe a little bit easier with the introduction of five new battery-electric K9MD shuttle buses to its ground equipment fleet.
“We applaud Oakland Airport and their commitment to electrifying its fleet,” said Jason Yan, Vice President of Sales, West Region and National Account at Ride. “[BYD] Ride is thrilled to partner with OAK to offer sustainable transportation solutions that benefit both the environment and the community.”
The K9MD buses seat up to 42 passengers and have a 208 mile operating range from a 352 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. That battery is backed by a 12-year warranty to help keep fiscally conservative fleet buyers at ease, while the smooth, quiet, and electric drive keeps the fleet’s operators happy, too.

Oakland International Airport is operated by the Port of Oakland, and is scheduled to electrify its entire ground operations fleet by 2030.
