Tesla plans to deploy a public charging network for its Tesla Semi truck, starting with 46 stations in 2027, according to a new presentation.
At a new presentation at the ACT Expo this week, Tesla’s head of the Semi program, Dan Priestley, revealed several new details about the long-awaited electric semi-truck.
During the presentation, Priesley claimed that Tesla Semi trucks have already cumulatively traveled 7.9 million miles (12.7 million km).
He didn’t disclose how many trucks contributed to this total mileage, but he did add that “more than 26 Tesla Semi trucks” have each traveled over 100,000 miles.”

These numbers have been updated from a previous presentation in September 2024, when Priestley said the Tesla Semi fleet had traveled 7.5 million miles and that a single truck had traveled 250,000 miles (400,000 km) over the last 1.5 years.
Tesla also confirmed that the truck is going to be equipped with a 25 kW Power Take Off (PTO) at the back to power external systems, like a refrigerated trailer, for example (via Jake Guerra on LinkedIn):
Priestley also revealed a few more details about Tesla’s planned expansion of its charging network for the Tesla Semi.
The company currently operates the Supercharger network. It is the most extensive EV fast-charging network in North America, but it is geared toward passenger electric vehicles and not practical for bigger commercial vehicles, like Tesla Semi.
Tesla has already deployed Megachargers, its charging station for electric semi trucks, at its own installations and those of a few customer-partners who have been testing the Tesla Semi, but now it plans to deploy public charging stations to enable long-haul trucking with the electric truck.
Priestley said that Tesla is now aiming to deploy 46 Megacharging stations as part of its public charging network by early 2027.
The automaker aims to start volume production of the truck in 2026.
Tesla Semi was first supposed to enter production in 2019, but it has been significantly delayed as Tesla tried to deliver on the promise of range and capacity.
Review: The ST3 Pro e-scooter brings serious suspension alongside smart controls and more as Navee’s latest flagship
As a long-time rider of Segway electric scooters, my expectations are quite high for new brands looking to climb their way up to the standard that the household-name has set in stone at this point. Only within the last few months did Navee come onto my radar, with the brand offering me the chance to test out its latest flagship model, the ST3 Pro Electric Scooter, which has been quite the surprise, to say the least. At first, it seemed like it was full of gimmicks that were destined to fail, but after riding around for several weeks now, I can happily say that Segway may just have found a new challenger. Head below to get my hands-on impressions of this high-end e-scooter that still retains accessible pricing for the stunning list of features.
To get our full hands-on impression of this new flagship e-scooter, be sure to check out our review here.

Save $500 on Luckeep’s C23 folding step-through e-bike with a removable passenger seat at a new $499 low
Luckeep is offering the lowest price yet on its C23 Folding Step-Through Two-Seater e-bike at $499 shipped, after using the promo code LKSDC23250 at checkout, which beats out Amazon’s current pricing by $101. It carries a $999 MSRP directly from the brand, though it’s never gone above $749 at Amazon in the two+ months it’s been listed, which we’ve seen taken down to $600, $569, and $519 in 2025 so far. Taking advantage of this promotional deal, though, gives you more savings than ever, as $500 is cut from the MSRP for the best new price that we have tracked.
Luckeep has designed the C23 Folding e-bike for women in particular, though that’s not to say anyone else can’t enjoy the budget-friendly commuter at this price – especially if you’re going to be regularly using it to shepherd kids to life’s appointments, as it sports a removable mini sofa backseat. What’s more, the folding design makes it far more manageable when storing it after a ride too, only adding to the versatile convenience. It comes equipped with a 750W rear hub motor that peaks as high as 1,200W alongside a 624Wh battery to provide up to 28 MPH top speeds for up to 65 miles of pedal-assisted travel.
Luckeep’s C23 folding e-bike even comes with its own security measures in the form of an NFC card, as well as smartphone or smartwatch apps, which can be used to lock and unlock the bike when you hop off. From there, you’re getting some solid stock features for such an affordable price, like the front suspension lock-out fork, all-terrain tires, an integrated headlight and taillight, and more – including the unique features I’ve already mentioned.
Aventon cuts the price further on its Aventure 2 all-terrain e-bikes to best price of 2025 at $1,499
As part of its ongoing Final Summer/Labor Day Sale running through September 3, Aventon has dropped the price further on its Aventure 2 All-Terrain e-bike to $1,499 shipped. It started this sale having fallen from its $1,999 full price to $1,699, with an additional $200 being taken off now for the best price of the year. We’ve seen discounts mostly dropping the costs to $1,599 at best this year, with this being the first time we’ve spied it going further in the last eight months. You’re looking at a total $500 price cut while the sale continues, giving you one of the most popular legacy models from this brand at the best price of 2025 – and it even beats out 2024’s Black Friday and Christmas pricing by $200 too.

It normally goes for $3,300 at full price, with the costs taken down between $2,200 and $2,000 most of 2025 during sales, though we did see it drop to $1,999 back in April and fall as low as $1,800 at Best Buy, where it’s currently priced for $1,999.99 shipped, though it doesn’t come with any bonus savings. While it has fallen as low as $1,500 in past years, you’re still looking at a solid $1,201 markdown that only gets sweeter when considering the extra savings you can obtain.

Amazon is offering Prime members a second chance at the best pricing on the new Schumacher SEV1670 12A Level 1 Portable EV Charger at $115.59 shipped. Only having been on the market since the end of May and carrying a $160 full price tag, it didn’t see its first discount until Prime Day when it fell to $128, which remained the lowest we’d seen it fall until today. Now, Prime members can enjoy the best new price we have tracked, which gives you $44 off the going rate and drops things $12 under the previous low.

Picking up this ride while the sale lasts scores you the additional gear of a rear cargo rack, fenders to go over both tires, an Elite headlight, a suspension seat post, a bottle holder and mounting adapter, a bottle-shaped e-bike lock, and water-resistant pannier bags.

Through its official Amazon storefront, DJI is offering its Power 1000 Portable Power Station at $499 shipped. While it carries a $999 MSRP, we’ve been seeing it in 2025 keep down at $699 in full at Amazon. Since the end of July it’s been staying above $549, with past discounts this year having taken the costs as low as $379 in a series of short-term Lightning sales back at the top of the year. You’re looking at a 29% markdown off the going rate here, which saves you $200 while equipping your outdoor adventures with the means to keep your personal devices running.

By way of its official Amazon storefront, VIOFO is offering its A119 Mini 2 Dash Cam for $99.98 shipped which comes right behind our earlier coverage of the more advanced A229 series of dash cams. This smaller single-cam option usually fetches $139 at full price, which has regularly fallen between $100 and $99 over the course of 2025, with one drop lower to $90 back at the end of March. While we have seen the price go as low as $86 in 2024, you’re otherwise looking at the third-best rate of 2025 that cuts $39 off the going rate while giving you one of the brand’s best budget-friendly dash cam options.
Start your EGO multi-head arsenal with a power head, 15-inch string trimmer attachment, and 5.0Ah battery for $320

While it’s not the lowest tracked price in its history, you’re still looking at a solid $69 markdown that drops costs just $10 above Prime Day’s pricing. You can also browse the brand’s Amazon storefront here for more attachments to add to your kit’s arsenal.
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.

The Honda Prologue is one of the best-selling electric vehicles in the US. For Labor Day, Honda is offering generous discounts on EVs, including the Prologue and Acura ZDX.
What discounts is Honda offering on EVs for Labor Day?
After delivering the first models last March, Honda’s electric SUV proved to be a surprise hit. In the second half of 2024, it was the second-best-selling electric SUV, trailing only the Tesla Model Y.
The Prologue remains a top seller in the US in 2025, outselling the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai IONIQ 5 last month. With new Labor Day discounts, Honda has made its EVs even more attractive.
Honda is offering 2025 Prologue leases starting at $159 per month. The offer is for 24 months with $1,099 due at signing and includes a $3,500 conquest or loyalty bonus. Although it’s a regional offer, it’s available in most US states.

Alternatively, you can opt for Honda’s unique One Pay Lease deal. The offer allows you to pay the entire $4,800 lease amount upfront. For a 24-month lease, the monthly cost works out to approximately $200.
This is also a regional offer, available in California and other ZEV states. The One Pay Lease deal ends on September 2, while the $159 monthly lease deal is available until September 30. Both include the $7,500 EV tax credit, set to expire at the end of September.

If you’ve been eyeing a LiveWire electric motorcycle but couldn’t justify the price tag, this might be your moment. LiveWire Group just launched a new “Twist & Go” promotion that drops prices on its entire S2 lineup by thousands of dollars – at least for a limited time.
From now through October 31, 2025, customers can score significant discounts on all three S2 models:
S2 Del Mar: Now starting at $9,999
S2 Mulholland: Now starting at $10,999
S2 Alpinista: Now starting at $11,999
For reference, those models previously hovered in the $15k – $17k range depending on trim and region, so this is a serious price cut. And it’s not just a one-off model – this covers the full S2 lineup.
LiveWire is also rolling out a free software update that adds two long-awaited features: Reverse mode (a blessing for parking maneuvers on heavier bikes or when trying to back up a slight incline) and Roll-Forward Regenerative Braking, which lets riders engage regen while twisting the throttle forwards.

Electrek’s Take
This feels like significantly more than just a seasonal promotion. I’d say it’s clearly a response to slower-than-expected sales on what are arguably some of the most refined electric motorcycles on the market… but also some of the priciest. While the S2 Del Mar and its siblings have impressed with solid range, sporty performance, and premium styling, their premium pricing has made it tough to lure buyers away from both cheaper electric options and high-performing gas bikes. And as someone who owns an S2 Del Mar, I can tell you that its a fantastic bike to ride, but the price does make you swallow hard before pulling the trigger (and not owning a car helps, at least for me).
Slashing thousands off the price could help LiveWire move more units heading into the fall, especially as the weather cools and motorcycle sales typically dip. But it also signals that the high-end e-moto market might be hitting a ceiling, at least for now. LiveWire seems to be aware of that as well considering how they’re aggressively targetting smaller and more affordable bikes with their recent developments.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to go electric on two wheels, LiveWire just gave you one. But act fast, because the deal ends October 31, and inventory might not last that long.
