Save up to 55% on a massive lineup of power station deals during Anker’s SOLIX Mother’s Day sale starting from $70

Anker has launched its Mother’s Day sale running through May 11, with up to 55% being taken off its massive lineup of power stations and solar generators, as well as some multi-day flash sale offers and extra savings in the form of free gear on select purchases. A notable inclusion for campers is the brand’s F2000 Portable Solar Generator bundle that comes along with a 400W solar panel for $1,599 shipped, and also matching in price over at Amazon. Coming down off its usual $2,898 price tag, we’ve seen discounts in 2025 mostly dropping costs between $1,899 and $1,599, with today’s deal only beaten out by the discount from Christmas sales that dropped things $100 lower. You’re looking at the best price we’ve otherwise tracked, which saves you $1,299 while also equipping you with a reliable means of backup power for trips and emergencies.

As mentioned before, there are some benefits you can take advantage of during this event, with three different gift offers accompanying select purchases. When you buy a C1000 and EverFrost 2 40L bundle, you’ll get a free Tritan water bottle, while any of the C300 bundles come along with a free car charging cable, and purchases of either the F3800 or F3800 Plus score you a free protective cover.

A solid mid-tier option for keeping devices and appliances running, Anker’s SOLIX F2000 power station provides a 2,048Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can deliver up to 2,400W of output on average with the ability to surge to 3,600W for larger appliance needs. Its 12 output ports give you a versatile range of coverage, including a TT-30 port to connect to your RV while out on the road and beyond. You can regain 80% of its battery in 1.4 hours by plugging it into a standard wall outlet, with it also boasting a 1,000W max solar input that would yield the same amount in 2.5 hours (and a little over 5 hours for the included 400W panel). There’s also the option to connect it to your car’s auxiliary port, as well as the usual array of smart controls available through its companion app.

EcoFlow WAVE 3 AC/Heater

EcoFlow launches WAVE 3 AC/Heater and GLACIER Classic electric coolers at up to 49% off starting from $807

EcoFlow has launched its newest portable AC/heater and electric cooler units, which are joining the lineup of power station deals we’re seeing as part of the brand’s Spring-to-Summer Sale, but will be outlasting the sale through May 25 – plus, there’s even bonus savings and free gear to be had! Things start at the base WAVE 3 Portable Air Conditioner and Heater for $806.55 shipped, after using the promo code EFWGAFF5 at checkout for an additional 5% off. This new unit will carry a $1,299 price tag once the launch savings have ended, with the combined 38% markdown we’re seeing striking $492 off the going rate to set the bar for discounts down the road. Head below to learn more about this new device and check out its many bundle deals that we’ve collected together for you.

As a bonus, you’ll also be getting some free gear along with both the AC and the cooler, with the WAVE 3 coming along with a free 110W solar panel while the GLACIER coolers are getting a free Power Hat. These offers are only slated to continue through May 2, however, with the extra savings code lasting through May 25.

EcoFlow’s WAVE 3 provides similar performance to its previous-generation model, but with some notable upgrades, like the space coverage from the previous 108 square feet to 120 to 180 square feet. Whether you’re looking to utilize it for camping in a tent, car, RV, or other enclosed space, it’s 1,800W cooling output (6,100 BTU power) is claimed by the brand to drop temperatures by 15 degrees in 15 minutes, with the 2,000W heating output (6,800 BTU power) providing a similar speed of warming a space by 17 degrees in 15 minutes. It comes with an expanded list of smart controls through its companion app, with new features like the PetCare mode that automatically starts cooling once temperatures reach 77 degrees to protect your fur-babies from heatstroke, while also sending you notifications. There are also notifications for when its water drain needs attention, as well as offering a dehumidification mode and a sleep mode that drops operating noise to 44dB so you can sleep while it runs.

Like its predecessor, the standalone WAVE 3 can be powered by simply plugging it into an outlet or power station, or you can get up to 8 hours of wireless action with its add-on LiFePO4 battery (bundles below). Of course, once its battery is attached, there are some alternative ways to keep it juiced up and going, like utilizing up to its 400W max solar input to refill the battery in up to 3 hours, which can also be split between solar and an AC outlet to cut that time to 75 minutes. You can also connect it to your car with the brand’s 800W alternator, charging to regain a full battery after a little more than one hour of charging, while connecting it to your car’s auxiliary port takes longer, at 10 hours.

***Note: The 5% promo coupon has not been factored into the prices below; make sure to enter the code EFWGAFF5 at checkout to score the maximum savings where applicable!

Tesla announces Cybertruck expansion into South Korea

Tesla announces Cybertruck expansion into South Korea

Tesla has announced that it is launching Cybertruck in South Korea, only the fourth market where the electric pickup truck becomes available and the first outside North America.

While Tesla took reservations worldwide when unveiling the Cybertruck in 2019, the automaker never confirmed plans to launch the vehicle outside North America.

The Cybertruck is currently only available in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

By any metric, it has been a total commercial flop.

Advertisement – scroll for more content

Tesla had accumulated over 1 million reservations for the vehicle and planned for a production capacity of 250,000 units per year, with CEO Elon Musk saying that it could be increased to 500,000 units.

After Tesla unveiled the production version for a much higher price than announced initially and a significantly shorter range, demand fell off a cliff, and now Tesla now has issues selling the truck at a rate of 25,000 units per year.

This quarter is expected to be better due to the end of the tax credit in the US pulling demand forward, but it could prove extremely difficult to move the Cybertruck in North America starting in October.

Tesla is now turning to South Korea to try to sell some Cybertrucks.

The American automaker has told South Korea reservation holders to confirm their orders over the next week, as it will start converting reservations into orders – something it hasn’t done since expanding into Canada and Mexico last year.

The announcement was made via X:

South Korea might sound like a strange, relatively small, distant market for the first expansion of the Cybertruck outside North America, but Tesla is extremely popular in South Korea.

In July, it sold a record number of more than 7,000 vehicles in a single month.

Tesla also has an extremely strong shareholder base in the country.

However, in South Korea, the Cybertruck is going to start at 145 million South Korean won, which is approximately $104,000 USD – making the Cybertruck about $24,000 more expensive than in the US.

It should not be easy to sell in significant volumes despite Tesla’s popularity in the market.

Hyundai is plowing billions into building more cars in the US, including a new robot-run plant

Hyundai is plowing billions into building more cars in the US, including a new robot-run plant

Hyundai-billions-US-investment

Hyundai wants to sell more vehicles in the US. The South Korean auto giant is investing an additional $5 billion to ramp up production. With billions more on the table, Hyundai will build a new robotics facility while ramping up production of Hyundai and Kia vehicles in the US. Here’s what’s coming next.

How Hyundai’s $26 billion investment will boost US sales

Have you noticed more Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles on the road lately? Over the past few years, the South Korean automakers have grown significantly in the US.

In the first half of 2025, Hyundai and Kia sold more vehicles than in any first half since entering the US market nearly 40 years ago.

Hyundai has no plans of slowing down after announcing another $5 billion investment on Tuesday, “significantly expanding the Group’s footprint in the US market.” The new funds will be used for several new projects, including a new state-of-the-art robotics facility and steel plant in Louisiana.

The new funding is in addition to the $21 billion investment Hyundai announced just a few months ago, bringing the company’s total to a whopping $26 billion.

Hyundai will use the investment over the next three years (2025 – 2028) to boost production, including Kia and Genesis vehicles.

It’s also building a new robotics innovation hub to design, manufacture, and deploy vehicles. Hyundai expects the advanced new facility will create about 25,000 jobs in the US over the next four years. It will have an annual production capacity of 30,000 units.

EVs and hybrids are driving growth

The new investment comes after Hyundai and Kia hit a milestone, selling a combined 1.5 million “eco-friendly” vehicles cumulatively in the US this week.

Hyundai’s Tucson Hybrid and the Kia Niro Hybrid are the brand’s top-selling eco-friendly cars. Meanwhile, the all-electric Hyundai IONIQ 5 remains one of the top-selling EVs in the US and is the brand’s fourth most popular eco-friendly vehicle.

With leases starting as low as $159 per month, the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 is one of the most affordable, efficient EVs on the market. Hyundai has upgraded its best-selling EV with more range (now up to 318 miles), a fresh new style, and a built-in NACS port, allowing you to recharge at Tesla Superchargers.

Hyundai’s new three-row IONIQ 9 is listed for lease as low as $299 per month, and that’s for a nearly $60,000 SUV.

Both the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 9 are built at the massive new Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) in Georgia. Kia’s EV6 and EV9 are assembled at a separate plant in Georgia.

Major e-bike maker hits pause on US imports after new tariffs

Major e-bike maker hits pause on US imports after new tariffs

In a move that underscores the growing instability in international e-bike trade, premium electric bike maker Riese & Müller has paused all e-bike shipments to the United States, citing unpredictable steel tariffs as the final straw.

The German brand, known for its high-end urban and cargo e-bikes, informed US dealers this week that it is halting exports for the foreseeable future. While the company pointed to the recent reinstatement of a 50% tariff on certain steel components from overseas, including Germany, the broader issue here seems to be the chaotic and ever-shifting tariff landscape surrounding e-bike imports.

“We need to take a few days to carefully evaluate this situation and its implications before proceeding with further steps,” explained the company in an email to its dealers in the US, according to Bicycle Retailer.

This isn’t the first time tariffs have disrupted the flow of electric two-wheelers into the US. The Trump administration’s Section 301 tariffs targeting Chinese goods initially shook up the industry during the administration’s first term, hitting Chinese-made e-bikes and components with 25% duties before being temporarily suspended. Those tariffs whipped back and forth as exclusions came and went, then became a double whammy after the Trump administration’s “reciprocal” tariffs added even more hardships to e-bike importers in the US. And now, as of July 1, additional steel tariffs have expanded the uncertainty.

What’s unusual in Riese & Müller’s case is that most e-bikes – even expensive ones – use relatively little steel compared to aluminum. Frames, forks, wheels, and most structural components are increasingly made from aluminum alloys or carbon fiber. But with the tariff code system as vague and inconsistently enforced as it is, it seems R&M simply doesn’t want to take the risk of unexpected import costs – or the administrative mess that comes with it, including having to account for how much of a bike is produced from steel components and what the value of those components proves to be.

The impact on the US market will likely be minor in volume; Riese & Müller is a premium but somewhat boutique brand with a loyal yet small customer base. Still, this is a canary in the coal mine. If even premium brands are choosing to step away from the US market over tariff unpredictability, what happens when larger, mass-market brands start running into similar issues?

For now, dealers in the US are being told to sell through existing stock and not take additional orders until the company can determine whether it will be able to continue importing e-bikes into the US. But if the trade war tariffs contineu, this may not be the last premium brand to throw in the towel – at least temporarily.

Electrek’s Take

This isn’t just about one German e-bike brand putting things on pause – it’s a red flag for the industry. While Riese & Müller may be small in terms of US volume, their decision shows how unpredictable tariffs, even on seemingly minor components, can create enough uncertainty to shut down an entire market channel. Most e-bikes are made primarily from aluminum, not steel, but when customs enforcement can interpret tariff codes in vague or inconsistent ways, no brand wants to gamble on a five-figure shipment getting hit with a surprise 25-50% fee.

What’s more concerning is that this adds to a growing stack of trade policy hurdles facing e-bike makers: China-focused tariffs, broader “reciprocal” tariffs, battery import duties, and now steel restrictions hitting European brands too. There’s no coherent strategy here, just a patchwork of protectionist measures that hurt importers, confuse dealers, and raise prices for consumers. If the US wants to promote micromobility and clean transportation, it’s going to need smarter policies than this.
