Headlining today’s Green Deals is Jackery’s Home Improvement Sale, which is continuing its previous flash sale offers alongside new additions, one of which being the Explorer 3000 Pro solar generator bundle with a 500W panel at its $1,999 low – plus, continuing free gifts on the brand’s newest Explorer 5000 Plus and its bundles, and more. We also have the unexpected price cut on Lectric’s XPeak 2.0 Off-Road Long-range e-bikes to a new $1,579 low, while also coming with $336 in free gear during the brand’s latest sale, as well as EGO’s 56V 765 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower with 5.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries down at $330. Bringing up the rear is Govee’s Smart Electric Composter which has dropped down to $305. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s latest sales from Lectric, Segway, Aventon, and more.

Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Jackery’s Explorer 3000 Pro comes with 500W solar panel at $1,999 low in Home Improvement Sale

Jackery has switched over to its Home Improvement Sale through March 28 with up to 50% discounts on new offers added alongside the previous flash sale offers, many of which are dropping further in price. One notable ongoing deal for the second time is Jackery’s Explorer 3000 Pro Portable Power Station bundled alongside a 500W solar panel for $1,999 shipped. This new package would normally run you $3,999 at full price, which we saw brought down to today’s rate only a few days ago for the first time, which is continuing in this longer-form sale. We did see a similar bundle with two 200W panels two weeks ago among the brand’s spring sale savings hitting $1,994, so considering you’re getting an extra 100W of solar input here for just $5 more (in the form of its newest solar panel model to boot), this deal is looking all the better. This is a 50% markdown we’re seeing, cutting $2,000 off the going rate and officially marking its current all-time low, which you won’t find at Amazon either.

If you’re dusting off your camping gear – especially if it includes an RV – or even preparing for any home backup emergency needs, Jackery’s Explorer 3000 Pro is a larger and more versatile option to cover all your bases. It starts with a sizeable 3,024Wh battery capacity, delivering up to 3,000W of power output that can surge to 6,000W for larger appliances. With 10 output port options, one of which is an RV-dedicated TT30 port, this is one of the brand’s few and best options for motor home living alongside the Explorer 2000 Plus and Explorer 5000 Plus – both of which come as modular and expandable options (see their deals below).

Recharging for the Explorer 3000 Pro takes just about 2.4 hours when plugged into a wall outlet, or it sports a maximum 1,200W of solar input that can push the battery back to full in three to four hours (so around twice as long for this bundle combo we’re seeing here). It also provides the option for connecting to your car if you’re desperate, recharging back to full in about 35 hours.

***Note: One thing we’re seeing continue from the previous flash sale is the inclusion of a free Explorer 100 Plus 99Wh LiFePO4 power station along with your purchase of the Explorer 5000 Plus station and its bundle packages. Some of these deals are matching at Amazon, though keep in mind that they won’t give you the free gift there.

Lectric XPeak 2.0 off-road long-range e-bike

Lectric’s XPeak 2.0 off-road long-range e-bikes with 80-mile range and $336 in free gear fall to new $1,579 low

Popping our head back into Lectric’s ongoing Nothin’ But Net Sale, which is offering up to $762 in free gear along with e-bike purchases, we spotted a price cut on the brand’s XPeak 2.0 Off-Road Long-Range e-bikes to $1,579 shipped along with $336 in free gear. Originally priced at $1,699 since launching in November, this is the first time we’ve seen a price cut on one of the brand’s newest models, with the bundle here normally costing you $1,915 ($2,035 at original pricing), marking a new all-time low. Along with your purchase, you’ll also be getting a rear cargo rack, fenders over both tires, an Elite headlight, and a suspension seat post. Head below for more details on this model, as well as the rest of the sale’s lineup of deals.

Lectric’s XPeak 2.0 Long-Range e-bikes sport significant upgrades from its predecessor, like the addition of a new torque sensor that pairs with the brand’s PWR+ tech for more responsive PAS support for up to 80 miles of travel thanks to the improved 20Ah battery. It also has the 750W Stealth M24 rear hub-motor (peaking at 1,310W) that provides riders with top speeds of 28 MPH, when permitted by your local laws. You can also find the standard XPeak 2.0 e-bikes with a 60-mile travel range at $1,399 shipped and coming with $316 in free gear.

All of the XPeak 2.0 models come with notable structural upgrades too, like the new hydroformed aluminum frame, a higher-end RST Renegade front suspension fork, lock-on hand grips, a larger 203 mm front disc for the hydraulic mineral oil brakes, and a new color LCD display. There’s plenty of continuing stock features from its previous generation too, including a Shimano 8-speed Altus derailleur, puncture-resistant off-road tires, a throttle for pure electric riding (though this decreases mileage), removable pedals, accessory mounting points, and hidden cable routing, as well as all the add-on accessories you’ll get from the bundle.

Be sure to checkout the full lineup of deals from Lectric’s sale in our original coverage here, especially the exclusive Nothin’ But Net cargo packages on the brand’s XP 3.0 e-bikes.

EGO Power+ 56V 765 CFM cordless leaf blower

Grab EGO’s 56V 765 CFM cordless electric leaf blower with 5.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries at $330

EGO’s Power+ Savings event is still going, with tons of ongoing deals across an array of the brand’s electric lawn care equipment and tools. One notable inclusion that deserves some spotlight time is the brand’s 56V 765 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower that comes with a 5.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries for $329.99 shipped. This bundle would normally cost you $509 in full, with more frequent discounts usually hitting its counterpart package with just the 5.0Ah battery that has gone as low as $293 at Amazon. Considering the 2.5Ah batteries usual $150 rate, scoring it here at just $37 more is quite the steal. Today’s deal has only been beaten in price once before in April 2023, when it last hit its $300 low.

Housing a brushless motor, this 56V leaf blower from EGO offers up to 90 minutes of averaged continuous runtime thanks to the 5.0Ah battery, with that rate bumped to 150 minutes with it at its low setting – and of course, the extra 2.5Ah battery offers extended times once swapped out. There is a variable speed control on this model for a 260 to 580 CFM range, while the turbo mode ramps that all the way up to its max 765 CFM (around 200 MPH air flow). Along with the device, batteries, and charger, you’ll also be getting a spread nozzle, a tapered nozzle, and a shoulder strap.

We’ve covered a lot of amazing deals from this sale, many of which are new and returning low prices. Be sure to check them out before the savings end:

Coming at us by way of its official Amazon storefront, Govee is offering its Smart Electric Composter for $304.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $150 off coupon. Normally sitting up at a $500 price tag since hitting the market in October, it’s mostly been discounted to $350 in the time since, with occasional falls further to $300. Today’s deal is a 39% markdown that puts $195 in initial savings back in your pocket (plus the money you’ll save utilizing it in your life), dropping costs to the third-lowest price we have tracked – $5 under our previous mention a month ago and $55 above the all-time low that we haven’t seen since it first released.

It keeps digital records of your usage so you can better track your wasteful habits, providing you with another means to save money when planning out meals.

It provides three different operating modes, complete with smart controls via the companion app and hands-free voice controls through Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri – with safety notifications even being sent to you should anything not be functioning properly. Of course, I’m sure you’re worried about smells that tend to permeate from the composting process, but this model has been given two interchangeable filters that prevent those odors from escaping and filling up your kitchen. You can find replacement filters at Amazon for $26 right now too.

Controversial electric moto influencer ‘Surronster’ appears to have been arrested

Controversial electric moto influencer 'Surronster' appears to have been arrested

It looks like electric motorcycle influencer Surronster has landed himself in trouble south of the border, based on an arrest video posted to his social media channels.

A heavily edited video posted on his Instagram page shows the controversial rider in handcuffs being led into a police vehicle by officers in Tijuana, Mexico. The reel appears to have been filmed by a companion in the influencer’s entourage. No additional context was provided in the post, and at the time of writing, details surrounding the arrest remain unclear.

The incident comes just two days after the influencer posted another update to his social media showing that he was being denied entry into Mexico with his Sur Ron electric off-road motorcycle loaded in the bed of his truck.

In the more recent clip, the Tijuana Municipal Police appear to be questioning him and an associate before handcuffing them both. An officer is seen starting to remove the influencer’s helmet, then the clip jumps to a shot of the influencer entering the back of the police truck, edited to avoid showing his unhelmeted face. Surronster has long concealed his identity, always being filmed while wearing a full-face dirt bike helmet.

Surronster has gained a large following online by pushing the limits of electric motorcycles – especially the Sur Ron Light Bee and similar lightweight electric dirt bikes. His content often shows him performing stunts, riding in traffic without a license plate, and usually on electric dirt bikes that are not street legal for use on public roads. His 1M+ following is comprised mainly of young male viewers in their teens and twenties, with many attempting to imitate the riders’ style and stunts. He has risen to become one of the leading influencers in the electric motorbike industry, all while promoting a rebellious image and racking up millions of views on social media.

That notoriety has earned him plenty of fans, but also a long line of critics. Many in the e-bike and e-moto community have called out the influencer for encouraging illegal and unsafe behavior that risks drawing increased regulation and public backlash against electric two-wheelers, not to mention the danger to young riders who may attempt to recreate his stunts. Others defend him as a thrill-seeking entertainer similar to traditional motorsport stunt riders.

A large proportion of his videos feature illegal riding activities, but his strict control over his anonymity has meant that he has effectively operated with impunity. But getting arrested in a foreign country is a serious matter, and it remains to be seen what charges – if any – he’ll face. At the time of publishing, the Tijuana Minicipal Police have not responded to a request for comment.

US clean energy jobs hit 3.56M in 2024 but the feds may kill the boom

US clean energy jobs hit 3.56M in 2024 but the feds may kill the boom

Clean energy jobs surged in 2024, growing more than three times faster than the rest of the US economy and adding nearly 100,000 new positions. That brought the total clean energy workforce to 3.56 million people, according to the 10th annual Clean Jobs America report from E2.

But growth slowed compared to 2023. Amid policy uncertainty and an overall cooling economy, clean energy jobs expanded at their slowest pace since 2020, with about 50,000 fewer new jobs than the year before.

Even so, the sector still outpaced the broader economy. Solar, wind, batteries, energy efficiency, storage, and grid jobs made up more than 7% of all new US jobs last year and 82% of new energy jobs. Clean energy also takes a bigger share of the overall workforce: it now accounts for 42% of all US energy jobs and 2.3% of the total workforce. More people work in clean energy today than as nurses, cashiers, restaurant servers, or preschool through middle school teachers.

The report lands as the clean energy industry faces major headwinds. Federal policy moves have canceled projects, revoked tax credits, and added new regulatory hurdles targeting solar, wind, EVs, and more. While not yet reflected in 2024’s numbers, those actions are already hitting jobs hard. E2 found that since January 2025, companies have canceled more than $22 billion worth of clean energy factories and projects that would have created 16,500 jobs. Other analyses warn that more than 830,000 jobs could vanish under Trump’s big bill, signed on July 4.

“This was one of the hottest and most promising job sectors in the country at the end of 2024,” said E2’s executive director Bob Keefe. “Now, clean energy job growth is at serious risk – and with it, our overall economy.”

Clean energy and EV jobs have added more than 520,000 positions over the last five years, a 17% increase. That’s far more growth than fossil fuels, ICE vehicle manufacturing, or the economy overall. In fact, over the past five years, clean energy companies have added jobs 60% faster than the rest of the US economy.

Energy efficiency remains the largest employer in the sector, with nearly 2.4 million workers after adding 91,000 jobs last year. Renewable generation jobs reached 569,000 (+9,000 in 2024), while clean vehicle jobs totaled 398,000. The clean vehicle sector shrank by 12,000 jobs in 2024 due to an industry-wide decline across all vehicle sectors, but employment is still up 52% since 2020.

Regionally, the South is leading the way. More than 1 million clean energy workers are based there, and the South added 41,000 jobs in 2024. The West and Northeast each added over 20,000 jobs, and the Midwest added 13,000. At the state level, 23 states now have at least 50,000 clean energy jobs, and in all but eight states, clean energy employment outnumbers fossil fuel jobs.

“Every year, clean energy jobs become more intertwined and critical to our overall economy,” said Michael Timberlake, E2’s director of research and publications. “These jobs are now a vital anchor of America’s energy workforce. The strength of the US job market and the future of our energy economy are now inseparable from the growth of clean energy.”

Genesis is about to launch a slew of new luxury EVs and hybrids: Here's what's coming

Genesis-new-EVs-hybrids

Genesis is turning 10, and it’s celebrating with a few big surprises. The rising luxury brand is rolling out a slate of new hybrids and EVs, including an ultra-luxe flagship SUV and off-roader.

Genesis gears up for new EVs, hybrids, and EREVs

Hyundai’s luxury brand has quickly emerged as a dark horse in the luxury market. Genesis is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a bang.

By 2030, the brand aims to sell 350,000 vehicles annually. Genesis is launching a new lineup, including its first hybrid, a new flagship SUV, an off-roader, and several performance vehicles.

Hyundai confirmed during its CEO Investor Day on Thursday that Genesis will launch several new models soon, including new EVs, hybrids, and extended-range vehicles (EREVs).

Genesis will launch its first hybrid in 2026, followed by EREVs shortly after. At least two new SUVs are set to join the lineup, a full-size flagship model and an off-roader.

Hyundai said the new luxury SUVs will be based on the Neolun and X Gran Equator concepts. Although we have yet to learn all the details, the Neolun is expected to arrive as the GV90, an “ultra-luxe,” full-size flagship electric SUV. The X Gran Equator concept is a more rugged, luxury off-road SUV.

Genesis plans to expand the brand into up to 20 European markets while strengthening its presence in the US. Those in the US will see the first hybrid Genesis vehicles roll out, starting in 2026.

The luxury brand will also launch its first EREV, which Hyundai promises will deliver over 600 miles of range by using a battery and a gas engine that acts as a backup generator.

Genesis is entering “the realm of high-performance vehicles” with its new Magma brand. The first performance model, the GV60 Magma, will arrive later this year.

In under eight years, the Genesis brand sold a total of over 1 million vehicles. Over the next few years, it’s betting on new EVs, hybrids, advanced tech, sleek designs, and more to solidify its position in the luxury space.

Hyundai is also launching new vehicles across nearly all powertrains and segments. Check out our recap of Hyundai’s CEO Investor Day to see what’s coming.
