Leading the pack of Green Deals today is the massive savings we’re seeing coming from Anker’s final SOLIX Spring Sale flash offers running through March 31 on its F3800 Portable Power Station bundles, with up to $7,032 off four options and some free gear too – all starting from $2,799. Right behind it is EVOLV’s Spring Sale discounts on four of its high-quality electric scooters, like the popular TERRA, with deals starting from $1,129. Lastly, we have Worx’s WG509 12A Trivac 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum that has fallen to $70, among other lawn care equipment from the brand. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s first-ever discount on ECOVACS’ new RTK robot mower, Anker’s PowerCore Reserve at $90, and more.

Anker’s final SOLIX spring flash sale offers giant deals on F3800 power station bundles at up to $7,032 off

As part of its ongoing Spring Sale through March 31, Anker has launched the last of its SOLIX Spring Sale flash offers running through the rest of the month and taking up to 44% off in initial savings on a selection of F3800 bundles, as well as any additional savings you can score on packages that are over $3,000. Things are starting with the SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station coming along with two 200W solar panels at $2,799 shipped. This bundle would normally cost you $4,997 at full price, which we don’t usually see featured in sales as much as we do the counterpart bundle with a single 400W panel. Today’s deal is coming in lower than we’ve tracked before thanks to the $2,198 markdown, which gives you a versatile and modular backup solution at the best price we can find. If you’d prefer the latest F3800 Plus model, be sure to check out the massive savings from its launch that have been extended alongside these deals.

Anker’s SOLIX F3800 is one of the best options for folks who want more versatility and expandability, as it starts with a 3,840Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can rise as high as 26.9kWh with future investments into its compatible expansion batteries (or scoring them in a bundle below). It puts out a normal 6,000W of output power that can surge up to 9,000W for large-scale appliances and home backup needs. There are 15+ output port options to connect to, which include dedicated ports for your RV, EV, and your home’s circuit breaker – though the latter will require either the Home Backup Kit for sectional support or the Home Power Panel for whole-home coverage and roof panel connections. You can recharge its own battery through an AC wall outlet, or connect up to its maximum 2,400W of solar input, which can refill the battery to 80% in 1.5 hours with ideal conditions.

If you’re trying to figure out which would be best for you – Anker’s SOLIX F3800 or the new SOLIX F3800 Plus, there are only a few differences to really keep in mind. First, the F3800 Plus has an increased solar input of 3,200W, as well as an increased capacity that it can take in from a generator. From there, it mainly depends on whether you’re an RV trekker or not – as the standard F3800 offers both L14-30R and 14-50R port options, while the F3800 Plus provides L14-30R and TT-30R ports, better for RV backup needs. Be sure to check out the full rundown of capabilities for the newly released F3800 Plus and its massive savings in our original coverage here.

Anker’s final SOLIX Spring Sale F3800 flash offers:

  • F3800 (7,680Wh) with expansion battery and home backup kit: $4,084 (Reg. $7,097)
    • Bonus 5% savings automatically applied in cart
    • Comes with free protective cover
  • F3800 (11,520Wh) with two expansion batteries: $4,928 (Reg. $8,997)
    • Bonus 7% savings automatically applied in cart
    • Comes with free protective cover
  • Two F3800s (15kWh) with two batteries, home power kit, and four 410W panels: $9,299 (Reg. $16,331)
    • Bonus 7% savings automatically applied in cart

These flash sale offers will be running for the rest of the month alongside Anker’s overall SOLIX Spring Sale deals, and be sure to also check out the extended F3800 Plus savings, as well as the recently added EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler savings, which will both last through the end of the main sale.

EVOLV Terra Electric Scooter

EVOLV takes up to $400 in spring savings off four of its electric scooters starting from $1,129

EVOLV has a Spring Sale savings event going on right now, which is taking up to $400 off a selection of its higher-end e-scooters, starting with the TERRA Electric Scooter that starts at the lowest rate of $1,129 shipped, after using the promo code SPRING-SALE at checkout. Coming off its usual $1,229 price tag, we don’t see too many discounts across the lineup and when we do, it’s often in small amounts, with this model usually only seeing this same $100 markdown – including for Black Friday, which has only been beaten once over the last year when it hit a new $1,079 low in September. You’re looking at the second-lowest price we have tracked while these savings last.

The popular TERRA e-scooter sports dual 600W motors alongside a 15.6Ah battery, giving it the capabilities to reach 31 MPH top speeds and carry you anywhere for up to 34 miles on a single five to seven hours of charging. There are two driving modes here – the dual mode, activating both motors to produce up to 2,200W of peak power for maximum speed and tackling inclines, as well as the eco mode, which only utilizes one motor to limit things at 15 MPH, providing longer-lasting rides. Among its stock features, you’ll find front and rear shock suspension, dual drum brakes, dual LED headlights and dual LED taillights, as well as in-deck lights too – plus, the folding frame that conserves storage space when its not in use.

EVOLV’s other Spring e-scooter deals:

Worx 12A Trivac blower/vacuum/mulcher

Clear yard debris by blowing, collecting, and/or mulching with Worx’s 12A Trivac at $70

As part of its Big Spring Sale, Amazon is offering the Worx WG509 12A Trivac 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum for $70.48 shipped. It’s coming down off its usual $100 price tag here today, with the last year mainly seeing prices drop between $75 and $95 on average, though we did see it go as low as $65 during Black Friday. While we have seen the price drop as far as $60 in the past, this deal gives you one of the best recent rates we’ve tracked at $30 off the going rate, landing it down among the lowest we have seen.

The Worx Trivac was designed with the phrase “work smarter, not harder” in mind, offering up a 3-in-1 functionality to either blow, collect, and/or mulch the debris in your yard. The standard blower settings max out at 210 MPH worth of airflow, while the included bag provides the means for collection, which is controlled via a simple flip of a switch. It boasts a two-stage metal impeller and shredder blades to complete mulching tasks, which Worx assures “takes 18 bags worth of leaves and chops it down into one.” It weighs in at only 10 pounds for easier use despite varying sizes and strengths, and sports an angled collection nozzle so you can even reach under patio furniture, your deck, and more. This is a corded model, by the way, so you just have to keep it plugged in for prolonged use rather than wait for any batteries to recharge.

Best new Green Deals landing this week

The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

OpenAI’s first data center in $500B Stargate project is open in Texas, with sites coming in New Mexico and Ohio

OpenAI's first data center in 0B Stargate project is open in Texas, with sites coming in New Mexico and Ohio

OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar: 'More compute, more revenue' in response to concern on Oracle, Nvidia deals

ABILENE, Texas — OpenAI and Oracle are betting big on America’s AI future, bringing online the flagship site of the $500 billion Stargate program, a sweeping infrastructure push to secure the compute needed to power the future of artificial intelligence.

The debut site in Abilene, Texas, about 180 miles west of Dallas, is up and running, filled with Oracle Cloud infrastructure and racks of Nvidia chips.

The data center, which is being leased by Oracle, is one of the most notable physical landmarks to emerge from an unprecedented boom in demand for infrastructure to power AI. Over $2 trillion in AI infrastructure has been planned around the world, according to an HSBC estimate this week.

OpenAI is leading the way.

In addition to the $500 billion Stargate project, the startup on Monday announced an equity investment deal with Nvidia that will add an estimated $500 billion worth of data centers in the coming years. Since 2019, Microsoft has invested billions of dollars in OpenAI, providing loads of access to Azure credits. Additionally, OpenAI contracts with smaller cloud companies for additional compute capacity and help operating its infrastructure.

One building on the Abilene site is operational while another is nearly complete. The campus has the potential to ultimately scale past a gigawatt of capacity, OpenAI finance chief Sarah Friar told CNBC. That would be enough electricity to power about 750,000 U.S. homes.

The data center construction plans are important enough that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang personally engaged in last-minute negotiations with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the weekend to get in on the action, CNBC reported earlier on Tuesday.

“People are starting to recognize just the sheer scale that will be required,” Friar said. “We’re just getting going here in Abilene, Texas, but you’ll see this all around the United States and beyond.”

The scale of the project’s construction was necessary to supply the amount of compute required to operate OpenAI’s models, Friar said.

“What we see today is a massive compute crunch,” she said. “There’s not enough compute to do all the things that AI can do.”

OpenAI's Sarah Friar: 'Full ecosystem' needs to come together to address compute crunch

A bold bet on AI infrastructure

OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank, which is helping fund the project, announced on Tuesday five additional Stargate sites across Texas, New Mexico, Ohio and an additional unnamed site in the Midwest. That brings the size of the initiative to nearly 7 gigawatts and more than $400 billion of investment over the next three years, which includes an existing $300 billion agreement between OpenAI and Oracle.

While companies like Oracle are helping fund the data center construction, OpenAI will ultimately be the one to pay for the computing capacity as an operating expense, Friar said. Although Nvidia is putting in equity to jumpstart the project, Friar said the chipmaker will get paid for all graphics processing units (GPUs) that it provides as those chips get deployed.

Friar said OpenAI will generate $13 billion in revenue this year, and that the company plans to help pay for the construction using its own cash flow and debt financing.

The Stargate name will refer to all OpenAI infrastructure projects going forward, CNBC reported this week. Together with CoreWeave and other partners, the companies say they are ahead of schedule to meet their full 10-gigawatt commitment by the end of 2025.

Friar told CNBC the shovels going into the ground today are laying foundations for compute that won’t come online until 2026, starting with Nvidia next-generation Vera Rubin chips.

Data center buildings are under construction during a tour of the OpenAI data center in Abilene, Texas, U.S., Sept. 23, 2025.

“No one in the history of man built data centers this fast,” Friar said, adding that the entire ecosystem has to work together to meet demand.

Critics have questioned the circular funding behind Stargate — OpenAI committing hundreds of billions of dollars to projects while suppliers like Nvidia are also investing directly into those same buildouts.

Friar said history shows that technology booms require bold infrastructure bets.

“When the internet was getting started, people kept feeling like, ‘Oh, we’re over-building, there’s too much,'” Friar said. “Look where we are today, right?”

The project also carries political weight. OpenAI and Oracle first unveiled Stargate alongside President Donald Trump at the White House in January. Friar called Trump “the president of this AI era,” pointing to Washington’s role in framing the technology as both an economic engine and a national security priority. Trump was briefed on the Nvidia investment into OpenAI during a state visit to the U.K. earlier this month.

Oracle says the project will employ more than 6,000 construction workers daily and deliver nearly 1,700 long-term jobs.

In a paper published Tuesday about OpenAI’s infrastructure plans, the company wrote that its data center buildout could help reshape the American power grid with new technologies and help the U.S. exert global influence.

Honda is slashing over $20,000 off the Prologue right now

Honda is slashing over ,000 off the Prologue right now

Honda-Prologue-$20,000-off

How about over $20,000 in savings on a new SUV? For the next week, Honda is currently offering over $20,000 off 2025 Prologue models with stackable savings.

Honda Prologue buyers can snag more than $20,000 off

Honda has made its electric SUV even more tempting for the last week of September. Until September 30, when the $7,500 federal EV tax credit is set to expire, Honda is offering generous discounts of more than $20,000 in some states.

The 2025 Prologue is $17,000 off nationwide, plus Honda is offering 0% interest for six years. That’s hard to find for any vehicle, whether it’s electric or gas-powered.

The deal includes $9,500 in financing bonuses and the potential $7,500 EV tax credit. On a six-year loan for a $50,000 Prologue, online car research firm CarsDirect estimates the financing deal would cost about $33,000, before taxes and fees.

With trade-in offers in California and other ZEV states, you can score up to $20,300 off the 2025 Honda Prologue.

But, there’s gotta be a catch, right? Well, for one, the offer ends in a week on September 30, the same day the federal $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles expires.

While the deals on the 2025 model year are expiring, the 2026 Honda Prologue is already set to arrive with discounts of up to $9,000.

A notice sent to dealers (via CarsDirect) said that the 2026 model year will debut with a $6,000 lease or finance offer through Honda Financial Services (HFS). The incentive bulletin said an additional $3,000 conquest bonus will be offered, bringing the total savings to $9,000 on 2026 models.

2025 Honda Prologue trim Starting Price* Starting Price After

EX (FWD) $47,400 $39,900 308
EX (AWD) $50,400 $42,900 294
Touring (FWD) $51.700 $44,200 308
Touring (AWD) $54,700 $47,200 294
Elite (AWD) $57,900 $50,400 283

Interestingly, the offer for the 2026 Prologue is available until November 3, suggesting Honda may continue offering discounts even after the $7,500 tax credit ends.

Honda has yet to announce 2026 Prologue prices publicly, but it’s expected to start at approximately the same $47,400 MSRP as the 2025 model year. With the government incentives set to expire, it could be even less.

Those of you looking for other deals ahead of the tax credit expiration might want to check out the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 with leases starting from $149 per month. The Chevy Equinox EV, or “America’s most affordable 315+ mile range EV,” is available with leases starting at $249 per month. Volkswagen is offering some of the lowest EV lease prices, with the ID.4 available starting at just $129 per month.

Jackery’s Early Prime Day sale drops Explorer 1000 v2 with 200W panel to $649 (50% off) + free bundle offer, more

Jackery has launched its Early Prime Big Deal Days sale running through October 6, with up to 65% discounts on its power stations alongside bonus savings, free gifts, and more. If you’re gearing up for fall adventures outdoors and off-grid, one of the best budget-friendly bundles to score right now is Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station with a 200W solar panel at $649 shipped, which is also matching over at Amazon and is eligible for a FREE refurbished Explorer 290. This combination of station and add-on equipment would normally cost you $1,299 in full, though over 2025, you’ve had the chance to score it between $749 and $699 with regular discounts. If you’ve waited until now to pick it up, you’ll get it at the best price we have tracked this year, behind the $599 low that appeared last year for only a few hours. Head below for more on this bundle, the sale’s promotions, and the full lineup of deals.

Before we jump into the details of pricing, let’s go over the many special promotions being offered during Jackery’s Early Prime Big Deal Days sale. First, orders that reach a $1,500 threshold can use the code OFFER5 for an additional 5% savings, though this does not include the HomePower 3000 series of deals. Next, you can score up to $830 in trade-in bonuses, with reminders that the 30% federal tax credits may be ending with the year, so don’t miss the opportunity to jump on that while equipping yourself with reliable backup power support.

Ever since its late 2024 release, Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 power station has become one of the brand’s best camping-focused backup power companions for folks not wanting to shell out too much money on larger units/combos. It brings a 1,070Wh LiFePO4 capacity to your trips and boasts 62 forms of charging protections from its ChargeShield 2.0 tech. Your devices and appliances are covered with up to 1,500W of steady power, which can surge up to 3,000W and offers seven ports for connection options.

When plans are known in advanced, all you’ll need is 1.6 hours charging from a standard AC outlet to get it back to full battery, and for more last-minute plans, you can activate the emergency charging feature with the in-app controls to cut that time down to just one hour. You can also charge as you drive through your car’s auxiliary/cigarette lighter port, and the 200W panel coming with the bundle puts you a third of the way towards its max 600W solar input, which can get the station back to full in three hours with proper sunlight.

***Note: The following prices have not had the extra savings taken into account, so be sure to use the code OFFER5 once your cart totals $1,500 or more to score the absolute best prices.
