Today’s Green Deals are headlined by ALLPOWERS’ Spring Sale with up to 48% discounts on power stations, extra savings, free gifts, and more. One of the notable standouts during this event is the R2500 Portable Power Station bundled with a 600W solar panel for a new $1,349 low. Coming up behind it is Lectric’s St. Paddy’s Day Sale, which is continuing much of the brand’s spring offers while also increasing savings on some models, like the XP 3.0 e-bikes that are getting up to $574 in free gear and start from $999. Next, we have a selection of Greenworks electric pressure washers led by the Pro-tier 3,000 PSI model down at $297, as well as Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station that is undercutting the brand’s direct Spring Sale pricing to $449. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s MOD Spring e-bike Sale with $650 off its latest release, and more.

ALLPOWERS Spring Sale takes 48% off power stations with bonus savings, free gear, and more – all from $49

ALLPOWERS has launched its Spring Sale through March 25, with up to 48% being taken off power stations, solar generator bundles, and solar panels – with bonus savings for your initial cart total, as well as extra savings at certain pricing thresholds (more on those below) and free gifts. One new low price we’re seeing among this event’s direct website-exclusive offers is on the R2500 Portable Power Station that comes with a 600W solar panel for $1,349.10 shipped, after using the promo code AFSPRING at checkout for 10% off. Normally, this package would run you $2,199 at full price, which we’ve seen fall as low as $1,499 in past sales. While this is already a solid starting point, the savings get even better with the sitewide 10% off discount on your cart, which drops things lower than we’ve seen at $850 off, landing at a new all-time low.

Before we get into the solar generator’s capabilities, I want to go over the different levels of extra savings we’re seeing during ALLPOWERS’ Spring Sale. First, orders over $1,300 will receive an automatic 5% off discount, while orders over $2,200 will receive 7% off and orders over $3,000 will receive 10% off. However, you can get a sitewide 10% off your cart’s total by using the exclusive code AFSPRING at checkout, which doesn’t seem to stack with the other savings – meaning you can skip over those automatic discounts for the maximum savings on any order by just using the code! You’ll also score some free gear at certain thresholds too, with orders over $1,900 getting a free 100W solar panel, while orders over $2,500 get a free S300 288Wh power station and orders over $3,500 get a free 200W solar panel.

Arriving in a sleek and streamlined unit, ALLPOWERS’ R2500 power station delivers a 2,016Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity with 14 output ports that can dish out up to 2,500W of power, peaking at 4,000W. It provides the typical collection of smart controls that you can access through its app alongside four methods of recharging its own battery – AC, solar, auto, and dual AC with solar. Connecting it to a standard wall outlet refills the battery in about 1.3 hours, while utilizing its 1,000W solar input can do the same in two hours time (so this featured bundle with 600W panel gets you fairly close to this timeframe). These times can be cut down to just one hour when connecting both to an AC outlet while using the max solar input too.

There are quite a few other options for the R2500 power station, with the unit alone costing you $809 (down from $1,599). Next, there are a few varying solar generator bundles, like the power station coming with a 200W solar panel for $989 (down from $1,799), a 400W solar panel for $1,169 (also down from $1,799), or you can double its capacity with an expansion battery for $1,168 (down from $2,498).

***Note: The prices below have not had any of the extra savings factored in – be sure to use the promo code AFSPRING at checkout to score the maximum savings though!

Lectric XP 3.0 e-bike

Lectric’s St. Paddy’s Day flash sale increases savings on XP 3.0 e-bikes with up to $574 in free gear from $999

Lectric has launched its St. Paddy’s Day flash sale through the holiday next week, which is continuing much of its Spring Forward Sale pricing (along with the clearance sales and the extra battery promotion) while also offering a buy-two-get-one-free deal on accessories. We are spotting a bundle increase on Lectric’s popular XP 3.0 e-bikes, with the Long-Range models retaining their price cuts to $1,139 shipped with $574 in free gear while the standard models are at $999 shipped with $455 in free gear. These packages would normally run you $1,713 and $1,454, respectively, but you’ll be getting the biggest bundle savings we’ve seen yet in 2025. If you go with the standard models, you’ll be getting a comfort seat, suspension seat post, Elite headlight, an accordion style bike lock, and steel-encased front and rear cargo baskets. The Long-Range models also get this same gear with the addition of a phone mount, a bottle holder with a mounting adapter, and a bell.

The most popular of the brand’s commuting solutions, the XP 3.0 e-bikes all sport a 500W hub motor that peaks up at 1,000W to hit 20 MPH speeds, which can go higher up to 28 MPH speeds, depending on your state’s laws. The main difference between the standard models and the long-range models is the battery – which will either provide you with 45 miles of travel (standard) or up to 65 miles (long-range) when utilizing the PAS support. Keep in mind for folks who enjoy cruising with only electric power that you’ll get about half the mileage. Along with the free add-on gear, you’ll also enjoy some quality stock features, like the integrated rear cargo rack, puncture-resistant tires, 180mm hydraulic disc brakes, a foldable body, an LCD display, and more.

And if you’re interested in taking advantage of the sale’s buy-two-get-one-free accessory deals to deck out your e-bike that you already own, be sure to follow this link to the landing page to browse and shop among the large collection of included accessories. The discount will be automatically applied in your cart to the lowest-priced item.

Gear up for outdoor cleaning with Greenworks’ Pro-tier 3,000 PSI electric pressure washer at $297

Amazon is now offering the Greenworks Pro 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer for $296.99 shipped. This model would normally run you $450, though we’ve been seeing it regularly drop down between $310 and $350 during most sales over the last year, with it last hitting the $290 low back during Black Friday sales. Today’s deal comes with a 34% markdown, cutting $153 off the going rate and landing it at the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $7 above the all-time low.

Jackery explorer 1000 v2 portable power station

Amazon beats out Jackery’s direct sale pricing on the Explorer 1000 v2 1,070Wh LiFePO4 power station for $449

Jackery’s official Amazon storefront is undercutting its direct Spring Sale pricing (ending March 12) on the Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station that is down at $449 shipped, after clipping the on-page $50 off coupon. Normally going for $799 at full price, discounts have mainly been keeping it at $499 in 2025, though we did spy it undercutting its Valentine’s sale last month in a similar fashion – with this rate only beaten out by the $399 low we saw during Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. You can pick one up for your backup power needs today with a $350 markdown, which is the best we’ve seen since November, landing the cost back at the second-lowest price we have tracked.

One of Jackery’s upgraded v2 models that sport the brand’s ChargeShield 2.0 tech for 62 forms of charging protections, the Explorer 1000 v2 can handle outdoor ventures and emergency backup needs alike with a 1,070Wh LiFePO4 capacity and 1,500W output (surging to 3,000W) through its seven port options. Plugging it into a wall outlet recharges the battery in 1.6 hours, which can be cut down to just one hour after you’ve activated the emergency charging features through its app – giving you ensured juice during sudden storm warnings or for last-minute plans. There’s also a maximum 600W solar input, which regains a full battery in three hours in the sun – plus, you can start towards that goal with a 200W solar panel bundled alongside it for $749 right now, down from $1,299.

Aside from this deal, we’re still seeing some incredible deals coming from Jackery’s direct Spring Sale, with up to 50% off units, new solar generator low prices, extra savings, and more – but don’t dawdle too long as the sale ends tomorrow night (March 12).

Amazon, Google and Meta support tripling nuclear power by 2050

Amazon, Google and Meta support tripling nuclear power by 2050

Google, Meta, and Amazon join forces to boost nuclear energy by 2050

HOUSTON — Amazon, Alphabet’s Google and Meta Platforms on Wednesday said they support efforts to at least triple nuclear energy worldwide by 2050.

The tech companies signed a pledge first adopted in December 2023 by more than 20 countries, including the U.S., at the U.N. Climate Change Conference. Financial institutions including Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley backed the pledge last year.

The pledge is nonbinding, but highlights the growing support for expanding nuclear power among leading industries, finance and governments.

Amazon, Google and Meta are increasingly important drivers of energy demand in the U.S. as they build out artificial intelligence centers. The tech sector is turning to nuclear power after concluding that renewables alone won’t provide enough reliable power for their energy needs.

Amazon and Google announced investments last October to help launch small nuclear reactors, technology still under development that the industry hopes will reduce the cost and timelines that have plagued new reactor builds in the U.S.

Meta issued a call in December for nuclear developers to submit proposals to help the tech company add up to four gigawatts of new nuclear in the U.S.

The pledge signed Wednesday was led by the World Nuclear Association on the sidelines of the CERAWeek by S&P Global energy conference in Houston.

French industrial giant Schneider Electric hails the significance of China’s ‘DeepSeek moment'

Schneider Electric chairman says China’s DeepSeek breakthrough is ‘very good’ news

China’s so-called “DeepSeek moment” is likely to be good news in the global race to develop artificial intelligence models that can carry out more complex tasks, according to Jean-Pascal Tricoire, chairman of French power-equipment maker Schneider Electric.

“I actually think its good news. We need AI at every level,” Tricoire told CNBC’s Steve Sedgwick at CONVERGE LIVE in Singapore on Wednesday.

“We need AI to optimize your whole enterprise at all levels, so that you can buy better, consume better, decide better, source better. To do all of this, we need models to operate on a smaller scale,” he added.

Tricoire said the emergence of Chinese AI app DeepSeek showed that AI models can achieve the same results as some of its more established U.S. rivals, but with a much smaller model.

It “will actually spread AI at all levels of the architecture much faster,” Tricoire said. He added that DeepSeek’s blockbuster R1 model would be “fantastic” for improving safety and reliability when deploying AI on dangerous equipment.

“The spread of AI models at every level of what we need is actually very good news,” Tricoire said.

His comments come shortly after Schneider Electric reported record sales and profits in 2024.

The company, which has been a big beneficiary of the artificial intelligence trend, raised its 2025 profit margin following robust fourth-quarter demand for data centers.

Shares of Schneider Electric rose 33% in 2024, following a 39% upswing in 2023. The Paris-listed stock is down around 7% year to date, however, with China’s recent AI push sparking concerns about AI investment and tech sector returns.

Data centers, which consume an ever-increasing amount of energy, represent a key piece of infrastructure behind modern-day cloud computing and AI applications.

Ailing Swedish EV battery firm Northvolt files for bankruptcy

Struggling electric vehicle battery manufacturer Northvolt on Wednesday said it has filed for bankruptcy in Sweden.

The firm said it that it submitted the insolvency filing after an “exhaustive effort to explore all available means to secure a viable financial and operational future for the company.”

“Like many companies in the battery sector, Northvolt has experienced a series of compounding challenges in recent months that eroded its financial position, including rising capital costs, geopolitical instability, subsequent supply chain disruptions, and shifts in market demand,” Northvolt noted.

“Further to this backdrop, the company has faced significant internal challenges in its ramp-up of production, both in ways that were expected by engagement in what is a highly complex industry, and others which were unforeseen.”

Northvolt’s collapse into insolvency deals a major blow to Europe’s ambition to become self-sufficient and build out its own EV battery supply chain to catch up to China, which leads as the world’s largest market for electric vehicles by a wide margin.

The Swedish battery firm had been seeking financial support to continue its operations amid an ongoing Chapter 11 restructuring process in the United States, which it kicked off in November.

“Despite liquidity support from our lenders and key counterparties, the company was unable to secure the necessary financial conditions to continue in its current form,” Northvolt said Wednesday.

Northvolt said a Swedish court-appointed trustee will oversee the company’s bankruptcy process, including the sale of the business and its assets and settlement of outstanding obligations.
