Bluetti Home Backup Sale drops new Elite 200 v2 2,073.6Wh LiFePO4 power station back at $999 low

Bluetti is having a Home Backup Sale that is taking up to $3,500 off a selection of power stations and solar generator bundles – with most of these offers hundreds of dollars cheaper than at Amazon. One notable low price this go around is on the brand’s new Elite 200 v2 Portable Power Station for $999 shipped. This model just released back in November carrying a $1,699 price tag, which we’ve mainly seen fall to $1,099 in most sales so far and going lower to $999 for the first time in last month’s Valentine’s Day sales. Today’s deal is giving you a second chance at its lowest tracked price, saving you $700 while equipping you with the latest backup power solution from under Bluetti’s flag. It’s even beating out Amazon, where it is still listed at its full price.

A perfect addition to your travel and camping setups, Bluetti’s new Elite 200 v2 power station provides you with a 2,073.6Wh LiFePO4 capacity, delivering up to 2,600W of output normally and ramping up to 5,200W for larger appliance needs. There are eight ports to cover your device’s needs: four ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, and one DC port. It comes featuring the brand’s Turbo Boost tech with built-in MPPT modules for faster recharging, only taking 50 minutes to refill 80% of the battery when utilizing its dual AC and DC charging capabilities. Of course, there’s also the options for standard wall charging, car charging, or you can take advantage of the sun’s rays with up to a maximum 1,000W solar input. It’s also been designed to work at 16dB “whisper-quiet” levels, so you won’t be disturbed at times when you’re trying to relax or sleep.

EGO Z6 electric riding mower

EGO’s standard Z6 42-inch zero-turn electric riding mower with four 10Ah batteries hits new $3,999 low (Save $1,500)

Amazon is now offering the EGO Power+ Z6 42-inch Zero-Turn Electric Riding Lawn Mower with four 10Ah batteries at $3,999 shipped. This combination of mower + batteries usually costs $5,499 at full price, which we’ve only really seen budge occasionally by $200 to $300 since July. Before summer 2024, the lowest we saw it drop to was $4,499, making today’s deal all the better. You’re looking at a $1,500 markdown here, which gives you the best savings we’ve tracked at the lowest price to date. You’ll also find its upgraded counterpart with four 12Ah batteries and the brand’s e-STEER wheel at a new $4,999 low right now too.

Powered by the included batteries, this 42-inch riding mower from EGO operates via its four independent brushless motors for up to two acres of lawncare duty on a single two-hour charge. What’s really great here for those already investing in the brand, is that your other 56V batteries can fill the additional two spaces in order to increase its runtime further. It provides three different driving modes – control, standard, and sport – normally cruising along at up to 8 MPH speeds.

You’ll have ten cutting height levels to choose from (1.5 to 4.5 inches), as well as the 3-in-1 functionality for bagging, mulching, and side-discharges. There’s also the premium features like the LED lights for when you work during darker hours, as well as a USB charging port for your devices – plus, there’s even Bluetooth app connection to enable a remote key from your phone, full control of your mowing experience, easy battery monitoring and firmware updates.

If you want to upgrade to bigger batteries for longer runtimes, or would prefer a LCD display integrated into a steering wheel design, be sure to check out the ongoing low price on its 12Ah battery/e-STEER counterpart.

Lectric XPress 750 Commuter e-bike as part of extra battery promotion

Running alongside Lectric’s ongoing Spring Forward Sale, as well as the new $1,099 lows we’re seeing in the switched-up closeout sales on the XPedition 1.0 and XPeak 1.0 e-bikes, the brand is also running a special promotion that takes $200 off an extra battery (normally $500) for longer travel times when purchasing from a selection of models. One of the included models that the extra battery will very much pair nicely with is Lectric’s XPress 750 Commuter e-bikes, which also get $206 in free gear at $1,299 shipped. The bundle package on it right now would normally cost you $1,505 at full price, which seems to be the average size of free gear we’ve seen on this model. The free gear includes a rear cargo rack, fenders for both wheels, a phone mount, and an accordion bike lock. Head below to see the other e-bikes benefitting from the $200 off extra battery discount.

Coming in both high-step and step-thru designs, Lectric’s XPress 750 commuter e-bike has been my main source of crossing larger distances in NYC for a while now, especially with my e-scooter only able to make it around my immediate area. The removable 14Ah battery powers the 750W rear hub motor (which peaks at 1,310W) to provide 20 MPH speeds for me (up to 28 MPH when permitted by state laws) for up to 60 miles when utilizing its five PAS levels (supported by a torque sensor). Of course, if you spring for the extra battery at $300, you’ll get up to 120 miles of travel, which should be more than enough for most folks, as I take mine out for hours at a time and have not run the battery to empty once yet, though I usually don’t rely on the throttle which would drain things much faster.

There’s a bunch of other solid features to praise on such a low-priced e-bike, like the puncture-resistant tires, hydraulic mineral oil brakes, front suspension fork, a 7-geared freewheel paired with a Shimano derailleur, removable pedals, a thru-axle wheel attachment system for tool-free installations, kickstand, a hidden cable routing system, an integrated headlight and taillight, and a full-color LCD display with a USB-A port to charge your personal devices, especially if you use them as a GPS while riding.

Lectric XP Lite 2.0 with up to $557 in free gear (up to 160 miles with battery):

Lectric ONE LR e-bike with $467 in free gear (up to 120 miles with battery):

Lectric XP Trike with $419 in free gear (up to 100 miles with battery):

You can also check out the full lineup of e-bike deals from Lectric’s Spring Forward sale here, and be sure to also check out the closeout sales on the XPedition 1.0 and XPeak 1.0 e-bikes that are getting up to $455 in free gear at new low prices starting from $1,099.

Rad Power RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike

Commute and more on Rad’s cargo-hauling RadWagon 4 and folding RadExpand 5 e-bikes starting from $1,299

We’ve seen a lot of top-notch deals coming from Rad Power’s latest sale (ending March 12), like the three continuing low prices on the RadRunner Utility e-bikes, the rare RadTrike discount, or the RadCity 5 Plus commuter getting a free extra battery. Looking back in on the sales, there are two other solid options in the lineup for your space-saving and cargo hauling needs, starting with the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike at $1,299 shipped. Normally priced at $1,599, we’ve seen it go as low as $1,199 in the past (last seen in October), though more often it drops to this same $1,299 rate on average. This $300 markdown gives you some solid savings on a more manageable model that doesn’t take up as much space – all at the third-lowest price we have tracked.

Rad Power’s RadExpand 5 is a space-saving model with a folding design that makes it far more manageable for folks with limited space – whether you plan to store it inside closets, car trunks, RVs, and more. The 750W brushless geared hub motor and 672Wh battery provide a 20 MPH top speed for up to 45+ miles on a single outing when the four PAS levels are activated, with a throttle for pure electric riding that will lessen its travel distance. Among its additional features, you’ll have a 7-speed MicroShift derailleur, a standard LED headlight alongside an integrated taillight that offers brake light functionality, both of which automatically activate when daylight drops low enough. You’ll also get some cargo-hauling support from the integrated rear rack with a 55-pound limit, fenders to go over both wheels, a water-resistant wiring harness, and an LED display.

Now if you tend to need more cargo hauling power for packages, kids, and the like, the brand’s RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike is definitely the way to go, and it’s currently down at $1,499 shipped from its usual $1,799 price tag. The integrated rear cargo rack here has a 120-pound payload, which explains why I see so many of these around NYC taking kids to and from daily appointments. The combination of its 750W rear hub motor and 672Wh battery provides the same speed and travel range as the above model, supported by five levels of pedal assistance. Stock features include an auto-on headlight and integrated taillight with brake lighting, custom 22-inch by 3-inch tires with fenders over each, a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, a water-resistant wiring harness, and a backlit LCD display that has a USB port to charge your phone with.

As I’ve mentioned before, you only have until the end of March 12 to take advantage of all the great deals we’re seeing from Rad Power’s sale – with the RadRunner low prices specifically lasting for as long as supplies do.

This supped-up model has been given dual 750W motors (each peaking at 1,000W) and a 48V 36Ah battery that not only ramps its possible top speeds up to 31 MPH, but also extends travel times up to 80 miles on a single charge. It brings along much of the same features as its base TITAN counterpart, with the main difference being the additional multi-function control buttons that allow you to switch between single and dual motor usage.

Hiboy’s Better Than Prime Sale will continue through October 12, giving you plenty of time to make decisions if you’re split between varying models – with prices starting from $320.

The Trump administration just killed the US’s largest solar project

The Trump administration just killed the US's largest solar project

The Trump administration has canceled the Esmeralda 7 solar project in Nevada — a sweeping, multi-developer clean energy plan that would have been the largest solar installation in North America.

The Esmeralda 7 project, composed of seven connected solar farms proposed by NextEra Energy Resources, Leeward Renewable Energy, Arevia Power, and Invenergy, was designed to sit across around 185 square miles of public land, an area nearly the size of Las Vegas. The plan promised to deliver about 5,350 MW of electricity, enough to power nearly 2 million homes – that’s three times the Hoover Dam’s generating capacity.

The Biden administration had permitted the developers’ joint proposals, and the Trump administration had advanced the project’s draft environmental impact statement. However, the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) hadn’t issued a final environmental impact statement or record of decision.

Yesterday, the BLM’s website marked the project as canceled. That’s part of a broader shift within the Trump administration away from utility-scale renewable energy development on federal land — even as global clean energy buildout accelerates.

According to Politico, “The Interior Department in a statement Friday afternoon said that the solar developers and BLM had ‘agreed to change their approach for the Esmeralda 7 Solar Project in Nevada. Instead of pursuing a programmatic level environmental analysis, the applicants will now have the option to submit individual project proposals to the BLM to more effectively analyze potential impacts.’”

The BLM had spent years reviewing Esmeralda 7’s potential impacts on wildlife and public lands, so clean energy advocates say the decision to scrap the project is more political than procedural. “The Trump administration’s reported cancellation of Nevada’s largest solar and storage project will restrict America’s ability to produce homegrown clean energy,” the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) said in a statement. “This action hurts America’s economy, its energy security, and the jobs of thousands of hardworking Americans.”

Electrek’s Take

Anyone shocked by this move hasn’t been paying attention, but that doesn’t make it any less destructive. Killing the Esmeralda 7 project isn’t just a setback for Nevada — it’s a blow to US energy independence, and making the developers jump through the same hoops all over again is a stall tactic. Utility-scale solar, like Esmeralda 7, is the backbone of the transition away from fossil fuels and toward true domestic energy dominance.

The US still spends billions each year importing oil, even as solar power remains the cheapest source of new electricity in history. Every canceled project like this one delays when the US can power itself with affordable clean energy, which means higher prices, higher emissions, and fewer jobs in the long run. And don’t expect this one to be a one-off cancellation of renewables on federal lands, seeing how Trump is encouraging the buildout of fossil fuel projects on those same lands.
