Lastly, Anker has added its latest EverFrost 2 Electric Coolers (as well as extended its massive F3800 Plus savings) to its SOLIX Spring Sale lineup, with the 40L model down at $700 while the dual-zone 58L model is down at $900.

Aventon’s Level 2 commuter e-bike with 60-mile range drops to $1,499 in spring savings for first time in over a year

Popping back in on Aventon’s Spring Sale that is running through March 31, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the brand’s Level 2 Commuter e-bikes that have fallen lower than we’ve seen them in the last year, with both the Step-Over and Step-Through models at $1,499 shipped for this event. Though they carry a $1,899 price tag, over the last year we’ve seen them keeping down at $1,699 and $1,599 rates, never budging lower, even during Black Friday and Christmas sales. It has been since 2023 that we saw this model drop to $1,499 directly from Aventon (which is the lowest we’ve tracked from the brand and likely due to the upgraded Level 3 e-bike’s release), though we did spy a one-day-only sale from Best Buy a year ago that saw a short-term fall to the $1,299 low. You’re looking at a rare opportunity to score your own at the best price coming from Aventon and the second-best overall, saving you $400 to invest in accessories or other gear.

The Level commuter e-bikes have carried the mantle of Aventon’s flagship model, which is being passed off to the newest smart generation of the Level 3, but the Level 2 models still provide tried-and-true quality support for you on your daily travels. They come with a streamlined frame that houses a 500W rear hub motor (750W peak) alongside a fully integrated 14.0Ah battery, providing a 60-mile travel range at up to 28 MPH speeds on a single charge. There is a throttle to enjoy pure electric cruising that requires no effort from you, though you will only be able to top out at 20 MPH like this, with the 28 MPH top speed possible using the five PAS levels that come supported by a torque sensor.

There are also some solid stock features on Aventon’s Level 2 e-bike, like the front suspension fork for smoother riding, a Shimano 8-speed derailleur, fenders over both tires, and the rear-mounted cargo rack, which gives you some added versatility, especially if you’re carrying bags to class or work with you. That’s not all you’ll find, as it also comes with integrated head and taillights – the latter having brake lighting – as well as the backlit LCD display for at-a-glance performance updates and setting adjustments.

Be sure to check out the other e-bike deals we’re seeing during Aventon’s ongoing Spring Sale event, with deals like the free extra battery bundles on the Pace 500.3 e-bikes for 120 miles of travel, the $400 markdown on the Abound Cargo e-bike, the rare $2,599 low on the Ramblas Electric Mountain Bike, and more – all through March 31.

Score exclusive $639 in savings on EcoFlow’s DELTA 2 1,024Wh LiFePO4 power station at a new $360 low

We’ve got a fresh new exclusive deal for our readers from Wellbots, this time on the EcoFlow DELTA 2 Portable Power Station for $360.40 shipped, after using the promo code 9TO5D2 at checkout. It’s already starting off coming down from its usual $999 price tag to $424, with the additional 15% off from the exclusive code bringing in a sizeable drop further. We’ve seen it go as low as $399 back during Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, with EcoFlow’s current Spring Sale only bringing things down to $474 at the moment. Today’s deal gives you the best rate we have seen yet, cutting a combined $639 off the going rate and marking a new all-time low price.

EcoFlow’s DELTA 2 power station makes an excellent companion out of your home for short-term off-grid backup power needs, especially if you already have appropriate solar panels to pair with it. Alongside the usual smart controls and the IP68 waterproof rating, it provides a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that expands to 3,000Wh with one or two expansion batteries. It keeps your devices and appliances running with up to 1,800W output through its 15 port options normally, but can surge as high as 2,200W. Its battery can be quickly refilled thanks to the fast-charging tech here, which gives you an 80% battery in 50 minutes when plugged into a wall outlet, while a full charge takes a little longer at up to 80 minutes. There’s also the solar charging capabilities, with the unit having a max 500W solar input that can have the battery back to full in three to six hours, depending on conditions.

Anker’s new SOLIX EverFrost 2 40L and 58L electric coolers join in on the spring savings from $700

As part of its ongoing Spring Sale running through March 31, Anker has added its two sizes of SOLIX EverFrost 2 Electric Coolers to the lineup, alongside the extended $2,598+ savings on the new F3800 Plus power station and its bundles. You’ll find the 40L model down at $699.99 shipped and the 58L dual-zone model falling to $899.99 shipped. These coolers normally carry $900 and $1,100 price tags, respectively, since releasing at the top of the month, with only the previous launch discounts on the books – which brought the 40L down to $600 while the 58L model dropped to $800 from Anker and $809 from Wellbots. While not the lowest, you’ll still be getting $200 off these new releases, which is nice for folks who missed the window on the launch savings.

There will be a smaller 23L model of Anker’s SOLIX EverFrost 2 Electric Coolers hitting the market later in the year, which comes in as a more compact version of the 40L model that only has one compartment with dual functionality, while the 58L model provides two compartments for simultaneous cooling and freezing. These new coolers are trading in the previous generation’s direct cooling systems for air-cooled refrigeration, which provides a chilled space for your food and drinks at much faster speeds (about 18 minutes).

Unlike the upcoming 23L model, the 40L and 58L models both sport dual battery ports (the second batteries are sold separately on the landing pages), allowing for up to 104 hours of continuous runtime when they are set to their Eco mode. Each battery comes with a 288Wh capacity, and alongside running the coolers, they can be removed and used as a power bank when needed, giving you the versatility to top off your personal devices with either the 60W USB-C or 12W USB-A ports. You have four means to recharge the batteries – connect its maximum 100W solar input, plug it into a wall outlet or a 12V car port (for 3.6-hour charge times), or use a USB-C connection for 5.5 hours of charging. Both models sport IPX3 water-resistance ratings, as well as large 6-inch wheels for semi-rough terrain and a fold-down tray that is also used as a handle. For $50 more (option on the landing page), you can also score them with the Road Trip Kit which includes a dual cup holder, knife holder, and rod holder.

As I mentioned earlier, Anker has extended the massive launch savings on its newest F3800 Plus power station and its bundles as part of its current savings event. You can browse the full lineup of Spring Sale offers in our original coverage here.

EcoFlow’s final Spring Sale flash offer drops the DELTA Max 2,016Wh power station to $899

Running as part of EcoFlow’s ongoing Spring Sale, the brand has launched the last of its limited-time flash sales, this time with three different offers – two power station deals and one accessory discount. Starting with the largest discount, there’s the DELTA Max 2000 Portable Power Station down at $899 shipped. This model would normally cost you $2,099 at full price here, with most of the discounts we’ve seen have been on the power station’s bundle options, though the standalone unit has been seen going as low as $759 in the past, though it more regularly keeps above $949. Today’s deal gives you a 57% markdown, cutting $1,200 off the going rate and landing it at the third-lowest price we have tracked.

You’ll be getting a 2,016Wh starting capacity with the DELTA Max 2000 power station, which can be expanded even further up to 6,000Wh with the addition of expansion batteries. It delivers up to 2,400W of power output through its 15 port options normally, with the X-Boost tech present to ramp things to 3,400W for larger appliance needs. You can refill 80% of the battery in just 65 minutes by plugging it into a wall outlet, with other options for combination fast-charging, including AC and solar, AC and a generator, or solar and a generator – with the battery being recharged in as fast as 2.5 hours should you have the maximum 800W solar input connected for those combo options.

The second of the power station deals is on the DELTA 2 Portable Power Station that comes with a waterproof bag for $459 shipped. This model offers a more compact 1,024Wh LiFePO4 capacity that’s expandable up to 3,000Wh and dishes out up to 1,800W through the 15 ports (surging to 2,200W). Recharging times vary from 50 minutes to six hours depending on whether you’re utilizing a wall outlet or its max 500W solar input. If you’re unconcerned with getting the bag, be sure to check out the exclusive new $360 low on the power station by itself that we’ve secured from Wellbots.

Lastly, you can score the brand’s 500W Bifacial Modular Solar Panel for $479 shipped, down from $899. This kit comes in four 125W segments that attach to the included frame to provide 500W of solar input – the largest of the brand’s panel options, which makes it a great add-on for your existing setups or for any new ones you’re planning to grab while the sale’s full savings are still running.

There’s only a few days left of EcoFlow’s second phase of Spring Sale deals, which are running through March 26, with up to 59% discounts, bonus savings, free gear, and more.

The South Korean auto giant has no plans to slow down in the US. Hyundai will reportedly announce another $20 billion investment in the US later today. The funds will help boost local production, including a new steel plant for its upcoming EVs. President Donald Trump and Hyundai are expected to announce the new US investment later today.

Hyundai to invest another $20 billion in the US

Hyundai is coming off its best sales year ever in the US, selling over 836,800 vehicles, 4% more than it did in 2023. February was its fifth straight record sales month in the US.

Even with US President Trump raising import tariffs, Hyundai is confident the momentum will continue. According to a new CNBC report, Hyundai will announce a $20 billion investment in the US later today. Sources familiar with the matter said the plans include a $5 billion steel plant in Lousiana.

The facility will produce “next-generation steel” for Hyundai’s electric vehicles, creating around 1,500 jobs. Hyundai already has two major manufacturing plants in the US, one in Alabama and the other in Georgia.

According to the report, Hyundai will announce the opening of its third plant (also in Georgia) on Monday. Hyundai Chairman Euisun Chung, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, and President Donald Trump are expected to announce the investment.

Trump targeted South Korea earlier this month, claiming its tariffs were four times higher than those of the US. The South Korean government shot back, saying the two countries had free trade, and the effective tariff rate on US imports was 0.79% last year.

The new investment comes ahead of Trump’s April 2 tariff deadline. Hyundai is already one of the top EV sellers in the US. The IONIQ 5 was the fourth top-selling EV in the US last year behind the Tesla Model Y, Model 3, and Ford’s Mustang Mach-E.

After a major refresh, the 2025 IONIQ 5 now has more range (up to 318 miles), improved style inside and out, and an NACS port for charging at Tesla Superchargers.

With its first three-row electric SUV, the IONIQ 9, arriving and production ramping up at its new EV plant in Georgia, Hyundai North America CEO Randy Parker said he’s “confident this momentum will continue.”

Check back soon for more details on the investment. We’ll keep you updated with the latest.

Chinese air taxi company EHang has established a new joint venture with JAC Motors to fund construction of a production facility for its eVTOL aircraft following the company’s first unmanned urban eVTOL flight test in Spain – the first such milestone in Europe.

The new joint venture (JV) between EHang, JAC Motors, and Guoxian Holdings will see the construction of a new construction compound in Hefei, the capital of Anhui, China. The JV hopes to integrate the city’s existing production supply chains new aircraft/eVTOL manufacturing technology, promote the standardization of key aircraft components, and establish unified industry standards in the growing air taxi space.

Founded in 1964, JAC Motors has a long history of large-scale vehicle manufacturing in China, and will bring that expertise to the new eVTOL-focused JV.

“As a comprehensive automotive enterprise group integrating the R&D, production, sales, and service of full series commercial and passenger vehicles, and covering a wide range of fields including automotive mobility and financial services, JAC Motors is strategically partnering with EHang and Guoxian Holdings to develop the low-altitude economy,” said Xingchu Xiang, Chairman, and General Manager of JAC Motors. “By leveraging Hefei’s high-quality resources, this collaboration aims to drive the high-quality growth of emerging industries.”

The company signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Hefei’ municipal government back in October of 2023, which led to the establishment of two eVTOL “vertiports” at Luogang Central Park in Hefei. Those facilities followed the construction of a similar, 5G-connected vertiport in Guangzhou, China in 2022, which, themselves, followed a $150 million funding round.

EHang received a flight license for commercial operation of its unmanned passenger air taxis the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) the following year.

eVTOL completes Spanish test

Over in Europe, EHang reached another major milestone on its path to mainstream success with the completion of the first-ever unmanned eVTOL flight in an urban environment in Benidorm, Spain.

EHang completed the test using one of its EH216-S unmanned eVTOL aircraft. The company also flew 12 additional drones alongside the EH216-S, in a second test designed to highlight the effectiveness of EHang’s coordinated multi-drone operations.

The tests were conducted by Spain’s air navigation provider, Enaire, in accordance European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations.

Electrek’s Take

Forget whatever you’ve heard about solid-state batteries being perpetually two years away. Not only does EHang have prototypes operating with solid-state EV batteries (above), but JAC Motors has a history of advancing battery tech, too. That changes the calculations about the potential success of eVTOL air taxis like the EH216-S, and might mean that widespread adoption of air taxi services might be closer than we all think.
