Our headliner closing out this week’s Green Deals is EcoFlow’s latest RIVER 3 Plus Portable Power Station that has not only gotten its first Amazon discount since hitting the online marketplace over a week ago but is also riding that discount to a new $189 low, alongside its expansion battery bundles. Right behind it is another new low price on Rad Power’s RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike that has fallen to $1,099 in the brand’s latest sale change-up. From there, we have EGO’s 56V 16-inch Cordless Telescopic POWERLOAD String Trimmer with 4.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries dropping to $330, as well as DJI’s Power 1000 Power Station returning to $419. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s EcoFlow Monthly Madness savings, or the full lineup of sales from Rad Power Bikes, Blix Bikes, and more.

EcoFlow’s latest RIVER 3 Plus 286Wh LiFePO4 power station gets first Amazon discount to new $189 low

Running alongside the ongoing Big Spring Sale, the official EcoFlow Amazon storefront is now offering the first savings at the online marketplace for its all-new River 3 Plus Portable Power Station at $189 shipped, after clipping the on-page $100 off coupon. Having only released directly from EcoFlow a month ago and just hitting Amazon’s market last week carrying a $289 price tag, this is the very first chance at savings we’re seeing here – with it even starting $10 under its MSRP from the brand’s direct website, which it has also only discounted it as low as $229 so far. Today’s deal saves you $40 from EcoFlow’s lowest rate and a full $110 off its MSRP, signaling a new all-time low price in the process.

Weighing in at just 10 pounds, EcoFlow’s all-new RIVER 3 Plus provides you with backup power support on your camping trips, road trips, or even at home when you need to keep your devices running during emergencies. It starts at a 286Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can expand up to 840Wh with the addition of either the EB300 or EB600 expansion batteries (bundle options below). With seven port options – three ACs, two USB-As, and a high-speed USB-C – it outputs up to 600W of steady power, surging to 1,200W thanks to the X-Boost tech.

The battery can recharge in just an hour via a wall outlet with its X-Stream charging, or you can hook up a maximum of 220W of solar input to charge via the sun’s rays, which will top it off in 1.5 hours. Not only does it provide extra protections from surges while plugged into an outlet, but it also provides LED and app-based notifications when it happens on top of offering immediate update alerts – all alongside the usual array of smart controls you’ll be getting.

EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus expansion bundles:

And be sure to check out the many backup power sales we’re seeing through the rest of the month while the savings last, with EcoFlow’s newly launched March Monthly Madness sale taking up to 57% off power stations, while also offering bonus savings, 2x and 3x EcoCredit rewards, and more – all from $169.

Rad Power RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike

Rad Power’s multi-functional, space-saving RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike hits new $1,099 low

Checking back in on Rad Power’s Gear Up for Spring sale, which has continued the RadRunner series lows and brought back the RadCity 5 Plus extra battery bundle, there’s a particular deal amongst the bunch that we want to highlight – namely the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike that has dropped to $1,099 shipped. Coming off its regular $1,599 price tag, this model is often featured in sales at $1,299, with it only falling lower to $1,199 back in October. The $500 markdown we’re seeing during this new sales period is taking things lower than ever, and drops the costs down to a new all-time low price – just in time to grab yours for spring and summer adventures.

The Rad Power RadExpand 5 e-bike is an ideal model for riders with limited space as its folding design makes it far more manageable when it’s not in use – stowing away in closets, car trunks, RVs, and plenty more. The combination of its 750W brushless geared hub motor and the 672Wh battery provide some solid commuting support at up to 45+ miles on a single charge with its four-level PAS activated and top speeds of 20 MPH. Of course, for shorter commutes where you don’t want to do any manual pedaling, there is a throttle for electric riding that cuts down the travel distance.

The stock features only add to its functionality, especially if you plan to take this on the road with you for camping or other purposes, like the integrated rear cargo rack that has a 55-pound payload for grocery hauling or the paired LED headlight and integrated taillight with brake lighting – as both lights also automatically activate when sunlight drops low enough. Alongside those you’ll also find a 7-speed MicroShift derailleur, fenders over both fat tires, a water-resistant wiring harness, and an LED display.

You can check out the full lineup of offers in Rad Power’s latest round of spring savings running through April 9 by checking out our original coverage here, which includes the ongoing low RadRunner prices, the RadCity 5 Plus e-bike getting an extra battery for 100+ miles of travel, and free gear accompanying other models.

EGO string trimmer

Save $179 on EGO’s 56V 16-inch cordless POWERLOAD trimmer with 4.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries at $330

As part of its Big Spring Sale, Amazon is now offering the EGO Power+ 56V 16-inch Cordless Electric String Trimmer with 4.0Ah and extra 2.5Ah batteries for $329.99 shipped. Today’s deal is coming in as a 35% markdown from its usual $509 rate, with it only beaten out by a fall to its new $300 low back in the first days of March. While you could save an extra $31 going with the single 4.0Ah battery package, the extra 2.5Ah battery would cost you $180 at full price, with discounts only bringing things down by $36 right now, making this a far better opportunity to save $113 and have that spare battery for longer trimming jobs or to use with other tools in the ecosystem.

Equipped with a high-efficiency brushless motor and just the 4.0Ah battery alone, there’s enough power for this EGO trimmer to tackle jobs for up to 60 minutes, with the additional 2.5Ah battery adding on another 45 minutes to that count. It provides a 16-inch cutting swath that has variable speed control and two different settings. The actual makeup of the trimmer has been given a telescopic shaft for comfortable handling depending on varying sizes of users, while also featuring the brand’s POWERLOAD tech, making reloading the dual line easier with a simple press of its button.

We’ve covered a lot of amazing deals from EGO this month, many of which are still going. Be sure to check them out before the savings end:

DJI Power 1000 Portable Power Station and solar generator

Electrify your outdoor adventures with DJI’s Power 1000 1,024Wh LiFePO4 station at $419

As part of the ongoing Big Spring Sale event, DJI’s official Amazon storefront is offering its Power 1000 Portable Power Station for $419 shipped. Coming down from its usual $999 price tag, this is the lowest price we have tracked outside of Black Friday and Christmas sales when it dropped further to $399 and then $379, though we haven’t seen those rates reappear in the time since. You can score yours today with this 58% markdown that puts $580 back into your pocket – with it beating out DJI’s direct site by $280 too.

If you’re planning to head out into nature more in these warmer months, especially to get in some photography, drone-flying, and more, DJI’s Power 1000 will support you through your adventures with a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 capacity and eight output ports. Among those port options, you’ll be getting 2,200W output through the two ACs (surging to 2,600W), as well as 140W fast-charging speeds from each of its dual USB-C ports.

To take advantage of its solar charging capabilities, you’ll need to pair the station with either a MPPT module or the brand’s Power Car Power Outlet to SDC Power Cable – which will allow for up to 1,600W of solar input to recharge the battery to full in 80 minutes (bundles below). When it’s plugged into a wall outlet, you can regain an 80% battery in 50 minutes or wait 70 minutes to have it back at full capacity.

Now, if you want to skip the headache of tracking down all the appropriate parts for solar charging, there are two bundles that will give you all you need to start. There’s the power station with a 100W panel and the compatible cables down at $669 from $1,247, or you can grab it with three 100W panels for $1,475 over its usual $1,955 rate. There are other options on the same page for the cables, if you already have compatible solar panels, though they’re currently sitting at their full prices.

Best New Year EV deals!

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.

Leading today’s bunch is Segway’s Fall Prime Day Sale that is taking hundreds off its EVs – including the premium Max G3 Smart Electric Scooter for $1,100, as well as the Xafari and Xyber e-bikes hitting return and new low prices, among others. We also have an exclusive $2,000 savings on EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro Ultra with a FREE 400W solar panel at its $3,799 low, Anker’s latest SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 Portable Power Station dropping to a new $379 low, and much more waiting for you below.

Save up to 46% on Segway EVs for Prime Day, like the premium Max G3 smart e-scooter at $1,100 (Reg. $1,200), more

Segway has launched its Fall Prime Day Sale, with up to 46% discounts on a selection of its EVs directly from its website, as well as through Amazon. One notable price cut that’s been a long time coming is the Segway Max G3 Electric Scooter dropping to $1,099.99 shipped, with the price matched at Amazon too. It carries a $1,500 MSRP, though we’ve seen it keep down at $1,200 for the majority of the year since releasing in March, save for the $900 and $1,000 pre-sale and launch deals. Aside from those first-time discounts, you’re otherwise getting the best price since during this event, giving you $100 off the going rate for the third-best price we have tracked. Head below for more on this advanced cruiser and the other models benefiting from discounts.

The latest generation in the series, Segway’s Max G3 e-scooter, picks up the mantle from its beloved second-generation predecessor and takes things further with upgrades, like the 800W motor that can peak as high as 2,000W to tackle up to 30% inclines and hit top speeds of 20/28 MPH. Featuring a boost mode, acceleration can be ramped up getting you from 0 to 15.5 MPH in 2.4 seconds before increasing further up to its higher speeds. There’s also the 597Wh battery that allows for up to 50 miles of travel after only 3.5 hours of charging – which can be cut down to 2.5 hours by using the alternate DC charging cable simultaneously with the AC cable.

Some of the Segway Max G3’s upgraded features include the Stability Enhancement System, as well as the Apple Find My inclusion, so you’ll always know where it is, especially if unfortunately stolen – plus, proximity locking and unlocking for even more bolstered security. You’ll also be getting dual suspension, 11-inch self-sealing tires, the automatic 6W headlight, underglow deck lighting, and a 2.4-inch smart TFT display, which provides navigation, caller ID, and smart charge management through your phone.

The cheaper Volvo EX30 Single Motor is finally here, and it starts at under ,000

Volvo-cheaper-EX30

The Volvo EX30 is now even more affordable. Volvo launched the EX30 Single Motor in the US, with prices starting under $40,000, but that’s not all.

Volvo adds cheaper EX30 trim for the 2026 model year

Volvo promised it was coming. Although the cheaper EX30 trim was scheduled to arrive in the US by the end of 2024, Volvo ultimately pushed back its arrival as it ramped up production.

Almost a year later, the Volvo EX30 Single Motor is finally available on Volvo’s US website. Prices for the 2026 Volvo EX30 start at just $38,950. That’s a nearly $6,000 price reduction from the 2025 model, which started at $44,600.

The outgoing model was exclusively available in the 422-hp Twin Motor Performance variant, while the 2026 EX30 gains a new Single Motor version.

The new EX30 model features a single rear-mounted motor with 268-hp. It’s powered by the same 69 kWh battery pack as the Twin Motor version, but offers an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 261 miles. Upgrading to the Twin Motor Performance, with 253 miles range, costs an additional $6,000.

Volvo offers the Plus package as standard, but you can upgrade to the Ultra grade, which adds Park Pilot Assist, a 360-degree camera with 3D view, and more, for $46,650.

With charging speeds of up to 175 kW, Volvo said the EX30 Single Motor can recharge from 10% to 80% in 28 minutes.

Volvo introduced another EX30 variant for the 2026 model year, the more rugged Cross Country version. The 2026 Volvo EX30 Cross Country starts at $48,150 and is only available as an AWD model.

The EX30 Cross Country is “engineered to move effortlessly from city streets to snowy trails and rugged backroads,” Volvo said. It offers higher ground clearance, a blacked-out grille, skid plates, wide wheel arches, and more, perfect for both on- and off-road adventures. It offers a driving range of 227 miles.

2026 Volvo EX30 trim Starting Price Driving Range
Volvo EX30 Single Motor, Plus $38,950 261 miles
Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance, Plus $44,900 253 miles

Volvo EX30 Cross Country $48,150 227 miles

The new EX30 is part of Volvo’s revamped 2026 lineup, which also includes significant improvements to the larger EX90. Volvo’s three-row electric SUV now has faster charging times and more computing power than ever.

Volvo’s popular Black Edition package is now available on the EX40, its first EV to receive the blacked-out design upgrade.

Hyundai is discounting EVs by over $34,000 as price cuts expand beyond the US

Hyundai is discounting EVs by over ,000 as price cuts expand beyond the US

Hyundai-discounting-EVs

After cutting prices on its top-selling electric vehicle by nearly $10,000 in the US, Hyundai is now bringing the savings to new markets. Hyundai is offering discounts of over $34,000 on some of its EVs overseas.

Hyundai is discounting EVs in the US and overseas

Last week, Hyundai announced it was reducing prices on the 2026 IONIQ 5 by up to $9,800 in the US. The 2026 IONIQ 5 starts at just $35,000, making it one of the most affordable EVs available alongside the Chevy Equinox EV and the Nissan LEAF.

Hyundai said the generous EV discounts reflected its “commitment to affordability” as part of its long-term strategy.

Record vehicle sales and higher output at its new EV plant in Georgia are helping reduce costs, which the company said it’s now passing on to buyers.

The massive EV discounts are starting to pile up after Hyundai cut prices in another market on Tuesday. After launching a series of special offers in Australia on Tuesday, Hyundai is discounting some of its EVs by more than $34,000.

According to TheDriven, Hyundai reduced prices on select IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, Inster EV, and Kona Electric models by up to $34,142.

Hyundai’s most affordable electric car, the Inster (which is sadly not sold in the US), received a $3,925 price reduction, and now starts at under $40,000 for the first time.

The IONIQ 6 is heavily discounted, with up to $34,142 off the driveway price on 2023 model year inventory. Hyundai has also reduced the prices of the IONIQ 5 by nearly $10,000. As the report points out, the savings are based on the driveway prices in NSW, which are available nationally.

Although Hyundai’s price cuts in the US were in response to the $7,500 federal EV tax credit expiring, the discounts in Australia come as demand for electric cars is at an all-time high. In September, electric vehicles accounted for 11.3% of new car sales.

In the US, Hyundai is still offering a $7,500 cash incentive for 2025 IONIQ 5 models until at least the end of October.

2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Trim Driving Range (miles) 2025 Starting Price 2026 Starting Price* Price Reduction Monthly lease cost (October 2025)

IONIQ 5 Limited Dual Motor AWD 269 $58,200 $48,975 ($9,225) $419
2025 vs 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 prices and range by trim

The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Standard Range starts at $42,600, while the 2026 model year is priced from just $35,000.

Although it was already one of the most affordable EVs on the market, the IONIQ 5 is hard to pass up with leases starting at just $249 per month in the US. For $10 more per month ($259), you can upgrade to the long-range SE RWD trim, which offers a range of up to 318 miles.

Curious what Hyundai’s electric SUV feels like to drive? You can find available IONIQ 5 models near you through our trusted partner.
