Jackery flash sale drops Explorer 2000 Plus solar bundle with two 200W panels to new $1,673 low
Jackery is having a short-term flash sale through February 26 that is taking up to 50% off a solid collection of power stations and solar generator bundles, with an extra 7% taken off on orders over $1,500. One of the notable solar generator deals here is the Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station coming along with two 200W solar panels at $1,673.07 shipped, after using the promo code EXTRA7 at checkout. This bundle package normally goes for $3,299 at full price, with the starting $1,799 rate during this sale already beating out previous discounts we’ve seen up until now. You’re looking at a combined 49% markdown, saving you $1,626 at a new all-time low price that also beats out the $2,899 rate we’re seeing direct from its official Amazon storefront.
A solid option for folks who want an expansive setup that you can invest more in later, without going into the higher price ranges for the more expansive systems, Jackery’s Explorer 2000 Plus covers your camping trips, outdoor parties, and home backup with a 2,042.8Wh capacity. By adding up to five expansion batteries to the power station, that number can climb all the way up to 12,000Wh, with the option to connect two of these full setups for 24,000Wh. It can dish out up to 3,000W of power output through its 10 ports to cover small devices, larger appliances, and more – plus, the fully-stocked 24kWh setup knocks output up to 6,000W.
You can regain a full battery in just two hours when its plugged into a wall outlet, or get the same charging time when utilizing its full 1,200W of solar input (six SolarSaga 200W panels – though these rates don’t account for expansion batteries). There’s the usual array of smart controls via the companion app, allowing you to monitor and adjust settings in real-time with a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection. If you wanted to go ahead and start with an expanded bundle, there are two options: first, you can grab the power station with the two solar panels and an extra battery (bumping the capacity to 4,085.6Wh) at $2,603.07 shipped or go further with the same bundle and two extra batteries (6,128.4Wh) for $3,068.07 shipped – just be sure to use the promo code EXTRA7 at checkout.

With the brand’s Valentine’s sale officially over, the official Anker Amazon storefront is offering the SOLIX C200 DC 60,000mAh Power Bank Station for $99.99 shipped. Normally priced at $170, today’s deal is continuing the same offer we saw during the brand’s most recent sale, with this rate popping up a few times since first dropping back during Cyber Monday sales. You’re looking at a 41% markdown here, which puts $70 back into your pocket while landing it back at the lowest price we have tracked to date. It’s also beating out Anker’s regular power deals, which currently has this model down at a higher $120 rate.
Anker’s SOLIX C200 DC power bank station is a smaller and more compact version of the brand’s new C300 DC and AC models, coming in with a slightly smaller 60,000mAh/192Wh LiFePO4 capacity. It delivers up to 300W of output power to your devices through its five port options (two USB-As, one 140W USB-C, one 15W USB-C, one car port). You can refill the unit’s own battery via three ways, with its 140W USB-C port giving you an 80% charge in 1.3 hours through a wall outlet, or you can utilize up to 100W of solar input or the car port for 80% in 1.6 hours.
You’ll also find the larger 90,000mAh C300 DC and C300 AC models down at $150 and $210 (matched direct from Anker) for this sale. Not only are you getting the expanded 90,000mAh LiFePO4 capacity here, but they also come sporting different variations of built-in lights for camping trips. You can get the full rundown on its other capabilities in our launch coverage here.

Normally carrying a $400 price tag, you can score your own here today with a 15% markdown that puts $60 back in your pocket. While we did see it drop to a $299 low back during Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, you’ll still be getting it under the usual $360 rates we see it discounted to at the third-lowest price we have tracked. It’s also beating out GoTrax’s direct site where it’s listed at its full price.
Another among a strong lineup of budget-friendly commuters, the GoTrax APEX Max arrives with a 350W motor alongside a 36V 7.8Ah battery to carry you for up to 18 miles on a single charge at up to 18 MPH top speeds. Not only are you getting several miles more travel distance over some of the brand’s other entry-level scooters, but your ride will be far smoother too thanks to the rear dual suspension. The 8.5-inch honeycomb tires also add a little more shock absorption to the mix, but more importantly, keep you from ever stressing over flats. It comes with a standard folding body for easier storage and transport options, as well as an LED display for all the real-time data and controls you need, all at a glance.

Lennox Residential HVAC has launched an extreme cold climate heat pump that warms a house with low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant in temperatures as low as -20F.
In 2022, Lennox was the first company to complete the first phase of the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump (CCHP) Technology Challenge, and the SL22KLV is a souped up version of the unit developed for that challenge.
The heat pump, which pairs with a smart thermostat, uses a variable-speed compressor with Electronic Refrigerant Injection (ERI) to adjust the energy usage based on the outside temperature, which helps to lower energy costs. When the temperature drops, the ERI increases heating output efficiently.

The SL22KLV has efficiency ratings of up to 21.10 for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2 (SEER2), 13.2 for Energy Efficiency Ratio 2 (EER2), and 10.50 for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor 2 (HSPF2). It also features a precision-balanced, direct-drive fan and sound-dampening system for ultra-quiet operation as low as 58 decibels.
The heating capacity is between 21,600 Btuh and 60,000 Btuh, and the cooling capacity is between 22,000 Btuh and 56,000 Btuh.
Lennox’s new extreme cold heat pump uses the low global warming potential R-454B refrigerant, reducing environmental impact without compromising performance. It’s also eligible for the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, a federal IRA tax credit for homeowners (and it’s still in place). There may also be other local utility and state incentives for installing a heat pump, so it’s definitely worth checking. It’s now available for order through local Lennox dealers.

EV startup Lucid Motors (LCID) released its fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday, beating estimates with big expectations for 2025. Lucid said it expects to produce about 20,000 EVs this year with the output of its first electric SUV, the Gravity, ramping up.
Q4 2024 earnings preview
After four straight record quarters, Lucid delivered 10,241 vehicles last year. That’s up 70% from the roughly 6,000 EVs Lucid delivered in 2023.
In the final three months of 2024, the company delivered 3,099 vehicles alone, nearly 80% more than the year prior. Lucid also hit its production target for the year with 9,029 EVs built at its Casa Grande, Arizona manufacturing plant.
After launching its first electric SUV, the Gravity, in December, the EV maker expects output to pick up this year.

The higher volume helped Lucid generate $200 million in revenue in the third quarter, but its net loss also widened to $992.5 million compared to $630.9 million in Q3 2023.
Like most, Lucid has introduced significant discounts and incentives with up to $15,000 in savings on select Air models.

Lucid (LCID) EV deliveries by quarter through 2023 to 2024
Wall St is estimating Lucid will post Q4 revenue of $214 million, up from $157.2 million in Q4 2023, with an eps loss of 0.25.
Lucid aims to double EV production in 2025
Lucid reported Q4 revenue of $234.5 million, up nearly 50% from the prior year and beating Wall St estimates. For the full year, the company generated $807.8 million, up from $595.2 million in 2023.
Lucid Q4 2024 revenue: $234.5 million vs $214 million expected
Lucid Q4 2024 EPS: (-$0.22) vs (-$0.25) expected
The company also improved gross margins by 72pts to (-89%). Despite the higher output, Lucid’s operating loss narrowed to $732.95 million in Q4, down from $736.87 million a year prior.
Lucid ended the quarter with about $6.13 billion in liquidity, which the EV maker said will be sufficient into the second half of 2026 when it plans to launch its midsize platform.

CEO Peter Rawlinson said earlier this month that the midsize platform is “finally when we compete directly with Tesla.” The first two models are expected to be an electric SUV and sedan starting at around $50,000, aimed at Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y.
Interim CFO Gagan Dhingra said, “We made substantial progress in improving our gross margins, managing our operating expenses while balancing strategic growth investments, and strengthening our balance sheet with the support of the Public Investment Fund (PIF).”

Lucid expects to produce around 20,000 vehicles in 2025, more than double the just over 9,000 EVs it built last year.
The company said it will “continue to prudently manage and adjust production to meet sales and delivery needs” this year.

Lucid’s upbeat guidance comes after Rivian (RIVN) announced during its Q4 earnings last week that it expected slightly fewer deliveries this year. Rivian said the lower guidance was due to “external factors,” including changes in government policies and regulations.
The company also announced several management changes. COO Mark Winterhoff will serve as interim CEO, while Peter Rawlinson will become a Strategic Technical Advisor on the board. Meanwhile, Taoufiq Boussaid has been appointed CFO.
Lucid’s stock climbed over 8% after beating fourth quarter estimates and raising EV output guidance for 2025. Check back for updates from Lucid’s earnings call. We will post updates from the call below.

Mercedes will use the designation “with EQ technology” rather than naming its EVs with separate “EQ” model names, to focus on treating them more like normal models – in what this author considers an overdue move.
For many years now, Mercedes has added “EQ” to the model name of its electric models, as in the Mercedes EQS, EQE and so on. It’s meant to stand for “electric intelligence,” a play on the concept of “IQ.”
Since then, Mercedes has carried it over into all of its electric models, treating “EQ” as a separate sub-brand or a model line on its own, to distinguish it from the company’s staid fossil-powered offerings.
Advertisement – scroll for more content
But that has led to some confusion among buyers. With models named EQA, EQB, EQC, EQE, EQE SUV, EQS, EQS SUV, EQV, and EQT, it starts to look like alphabet soup.
Mercedes noticed this confusion and commented on it back in 2023, when it first announced its plan to drop EQ branding from its model names.
Mercedes buyers are used to the convention of naming vehicles with lettering based on body style and numbers based on engine displacement. But for the EV line, all vehicles share the letters “EQ,” which could lead customers to think that there is some similarity between them, and engine displacement doesn’t really make any sense to apply to an EV. So there is room for confusion there.
Instead, Mercedes now says it will follow the convention it established with the release of the electric G-Class, which it officially calls “G580 with EQ technology.” That “with EQ technology” portion will stick and be carried through other Mercedes EVs, like the upcoming electric CLA. Plug-in hybrids will use “with EQ hybrid technology” as their designation.
Mercedes is treating this as somewhat of a compromise between dropping “EQ” entirely and still maintaining continuity with its past electric models. In this way, there is still a way to tell that a model is electric, but they will be treated more like “normal” models within the model range, instead of as a separate sub-brand.
Alongside these changes, Mercedes has also signaled a return to more “traditional” designs for its EVs, such as a fake grille for the 2025 EQS and perhaps less streamlined exterior shapes for upcoming EVs.
Electrek’s Take
It’s a bit of a mouthful, especially on the first available model with such naming, the G580 with EQ Technology – but we expect that people will start calling it “the electric G-Class” or “G-Class EQ” (perhaps a similar treatment to how people use AMG) or thereabouts, and that as other models gain the same designation, they will get the same colloquial treatment until it eventually feels normal. (Although, we still don’t know what the “580” means in that name).
And, I have long thought that automakers should do something like this, and treat electric models as normal models rather than some foreign thing.
We’ve seen a lot of odd naming conventions from automakers as they try to figure out what to call their EVs – like Audi, which originally introduced the E-tron as a singular concept model and later ended up using it as a designation for anything with an electric motor, or BMW, which started a separate “Projekt i” sub-brand in the early days (with actually interesting designs for once), then killed it off, then brought back the “i” to make more conventional-looking vehicles.
My theory is that by treating models as something foreign, something different, you create an internal conflict within the organization, confusion among customers, and all-in-all make the EVs seem less like a “normal” choice that a buyer could make. It almost feels like you’d have to go to a separate dealership, talk to a separate specialist, in order to find an EV. It adds another layer of friction which could push customers away.
But EVs don’t need to be different and weird, especially here in 2025 where just about everyone at this point has seen them, taken rides in them, has a friend who has one, or something of the sort. And if the entire auto industry is going to electrify – which, I think it bears repeating, is happening andis inevitable, no matter who tries to stop it – at some point we need to drop this idea that EVs are “something else” and recognize that they’re just cars.
So, why not call EVs something normal? Every gas car gets its own name – Tucson, Elantra, Camry, Palisade – so why can’t EVs just be normal too? Let’s get more Taycans, more Dolphins, more Leafs.
And, this is one step along the way towards that for Mercedes, and that’s a good thing. Other automakers should consider the same.
