Velotric’s Spring Sale is in bloom with up to $400 in price cuts across its e-bike lineup, with some models getting free accessory bundles while others are seeing 30% off accessory promotions.

The fat puncture-resistant tires ensure your fun won’t be stopped early once you go off-road, while the hydraulic suspension fork works to smooth out rougher paths and the hydraulic disc brakes provide solid stopping power – all with an IPX6 waterproof rating.

jackery explorer 100 plus portable power station

Jackery’s two-pound Explorer 100 Plus 99Wh LiFePO4 power station returns to its $89 low

The official Jackery Amazon storefront is dropping the price on the Explorer 100 Plus Portable Power Station to $89 shipped. Normally fetching $149 most days, this rate has been popping up more recently since Black Friday sales, already having appeared as a Lightning deal and two longer-lasting cuts since the new year began. It’s back again today with the 40% markdown that cuts $60 off the going rate, dropping the price back to the lowest we have tracked – even beating out Jackery’s direct pricing by $40.

This palm-sized, airline-approved power station from Jackery starts off already beating some of the larger 20,000mAh and 25,000mAh power banks we normally see sitting at higher rates. Weighing in at just two pounds, you’ll be getting a 99Wh (31,000mAh) LiFePO4 capacity here for your device’s backup power needs, delivering up to 128W of power output through the dual USB-C and single USB-A ports. Connecting it to a wall outlet can refill the battery to 70% in about an hour, with things taking a little longer at two hours for a full battery. There’s also the solar charging option too, with its maximum 100W solar input pushing it back to full in about two hours, or you could also connect it to your car’s auxiliary port for a three-hour recharge. There are also the two bundle options you’ll find, with the power station coming with a fast charge kit for $140, down from $170, or a 40W solar panel for $169, down from $229.

Autel 40V MaxiCharger AC Lite Home level 2 EV charger

Autel’s 40A MaxiCharger AC Lite Home level 2 EV charger comes with a NEMA 14-50 plug and AI assistant for $399 low

Autel’s official Amazon storefront is now offering its MaxiCharger AC Lite Home 40A Smart AI Level 2 EV Charger (non-hardwired with a NEMA 14-50 plug) for $399 shipped. This unit normally carries a $470 price tag since hitting the market back in September, with only six previous discounts on the books – all of them to the $399 low, half of which were short-term Lightning deals. You’re getting another shot at the lowest price we have tracked today, albeit in a non-limited supply period, that puts $71 back in your pocket while equipping you with a reliable means to keep your EV juiced up and running. It also matches in price direct from Autel’s website.

This ENERGY STAR-certified plug-and-play level 2 EV charger from Autel is perfect for anyone driving a J1772-compatible vehicle and has the appropriate NEMA 14-50 plug available, with “installation only taking a few minutes.” It provides between 16A to 40A charging speeds, with a NEMA 4X protection rating against the elements, should you decide to set it up outdoors. You’ll have full smart controls through its companion app, allowing you to monitor and adjust settings, schedules, and the like – plus, this model comes with its very own AI-powered voice assistant. One other notable inclusion is the RFID card that rounds out the package, ensuring the option to prevent any unauthorized use when it’s not plugged into your own car.

If you’re a Tesla driver looking for a more affordable model, or you would prefer a higher output, you can also find the brand’s 50A hardwired counterpart down at $455 right now. While Amazon only offers the J1772-compatible model, you can find the option to switch to a NACS connector direct from Autel’s website, where it is matching in price.

Greenworks 24V pole saw and pole hedge trimmer combo

Greenworks’ 24V 8-inch cordless electric pole saw and 20-inch pole hedge trimmer combo falls to $161

Amazon is now offering the Greenworks 24V 8-inch Cordless Pole Saw and 20-inch Pole Hedge Trimmer Combo for $160.99 shipped. Normally fetching $210, we’ve mainly seen discounts over the last year keeping costs between $168 and $180. While we have seen it go lower, particularly during Black Friday sales and in past years, you’re still looking at a solid 23% markdown here that cuts $49 off the going rate, giving you the lowest price we’ve seen since November – $27 above the all-time low from 2023. It’s even beating out Greenworks’ direct site by $7.

Why deal with the noise and fumes that come with gas-powered models when you can keep your trees and hedges trimmed with this 24V alternative? This combo kit from Greenworks gives you two tools in one package, with an 8-inch bar and chain pole saw that features an automatic oiler to keep things running smoothly, ensuring durability and extending its lifespan. Outside of branch and small trunk trimmings, you’ll also get the 20-inch pole hedge trimmer for those higher-reaching hedges and tree tops, which has a 7-position pivoting head to hit any angle. Along with the tools themselves, you’ll also be getting a 2.0Ah battery and charger to round everything out.

Save an exclusive $1,700 on Anker’s SOLIX F2600 power station with an expansion battery at a new $1,799 low

We’ve secured an exclusive deal from Wellbots on the Anker SOLIX F2600 Portable Power Station with a BP2600 expansion battery for $1,798.56 shipped, after using the exclusive code 9TO5F2600 at checkout. You’d normally have to shell out $3,499 for this bundle at full price, which we’ve seen go as low as $2,399 in the past. You’re looking at a combined 49% markdown that cuts $1,700 off the tag in all, giving you the best price we have tracked on this expanded backup power solution.

A successor to the F2000 model, Anker’s SOLIX F2600 power station starts at an increased 2,560Wh LiFePO4 capacity that is then doubled thanks to the expansion battery inclusion to 5,120Wh. There are twelve output ports (including a TT-30 port for RV support) to connect devices and appliances, with the unit delivering up to 2,400W of continuous power that can surge as high as 2,800W – all within a convenient suitcase-like design complete with wheels for easier transport.

The two main ways to recharge Anker’s SOLIX F2600 power station are either by utilizing its max 1,000W solar input that can have it back to 80% in around two hours, or you can activate its HyperFlash mode to charge to 80% via an AC outlet in one hour and 40 minutes. It comes rated for a 10-year lifespan of continuous use, so using it less often just means extended support for your backup needs, and offers the full array of remote smart controls through its companion app that you would expect.

Genesis may drop its most affordable model to trade up for SUVs and EVs

Genesis may drop its most affordable model to trade up for SUVs and EVs

Genesis-most-affordable-model

It’s only a matter of time before the Genesis G70 sedan will no longer be offered. Genesis is reportedly planning to kill off its most affordable model as it shifts its focus to SUVs and electric vehicles.

The most affordable Genesis model is on the way out

Starting at $42,500, the G70 is the most affordable Genesis vehicle offered. But that might not be the case for long.

According to a new Automotive News report, the Genesis G70 sedan will be retired after the 2027 model year. Although it was the luxury brand’s third-best-selling vehicle last year, Genesis is moving away from sedans, with more buyers opting for SUVs and EVs.

The report said that industry analysts don’t believe the G70 is on track for a second generation. And that’s not just the US, Genesis expected to kill off its most affordable model globally.

Genesis has yet to confirm the news, but a company spokesperson said, “We have no plans to discontinue the G70 at this time.”

The keyword is “at this time.” The G70 underwent a major refresh for the 2022MY. Much like its newest models, Genesis fine-tuned the exterior design and added more luxury to the interior, featuring a larger infotainment system and new features.

Genesis already dropped one model this year. Earlier this month, Genesis confirmed to Car and Driver that it will no longer sell the Electrified G80 in the US, its luxury electric sedan.

The electric G80 has already been pulled from its US website, leaving only the GV60 and Electrified GV70 as purely electric options.

Genesis said that “the customer is at the core of every decision we make, and we remain flexible as we adapt to ever-changing consumer needs and market conditions.”

If Genesis kills off the G70 sedan, it will leave the GV70 SUV as its most affordable model, with starting prices from $47,985.

While Genesis is trimming sedans from its lineup, it’s planning to trade up for a new flagship electric SUV. The GV90 will be the production version of the Neolun concept (shown above) revealed last March.

Genesis is expected to introduce the GV90 next year as its new ultra-luxury SUV to rival the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Last month, we caught a sneak peek of it for the first time with Rolls-Royce-like coach doors.
