Jackery flash savings take Explorer 2000 Plus 500W solar generator bundle down to $1,424 low

Jackery has extended much of its Mother’s Day power station deals through May 28 as part of its Memorial Day Sale, complete with extra savings on orders over $1,300, some limited-time flash sales on four units, and the continued HomePower 3000 launch savings. Among these flash savings, this event gives you another shot at the best price on the Explorer 2000 Plus Solar Generator bundle that tacks on a 500W solar panel for $1,424.05 shipped, after using the code HONOR5 at checkout for an additional 5% off. Down from its full $2,949 price tag, we’ve seen this deal pop up a few times in 2025, harkening back to the low we saw for the first time during Black Friday sales. This is a 45% markdown that cuts $1,525 off the going rate and returns the costs to the lowest we have tracked, beating out its Amazon pricing, which is sitting at a higher $3,099 full rate.

A well-rounded, middle-ground option for backup power support at home and beyond, the Explorer 2000 Plus starts with an ample 2,042Wh LiFePO4 battery to cover most needs while camping or traveling, but can be expanded with up to five extra batteries to reach as high as a 12,000Wh capacity. On top of this, if you still need more, you can connect two of these fully expanded setups together to go further to 24,000Wh.

The station on its own delivers steady 3,000W of power through its 10 port options, surging to 6,000W when needed (and which becomes its common output level once fully expanded). You can connect up to its 1,200W of solar input to take advantage of the sun’s rays, refilling the lone station’s battery in two hours, so with this bundle, you’re looking at 5+ hours or so. Plugging it into a wall outlet can also get the battery back to full in two hours, but keep in mind these rates don’t account for any expanded systems.

***Note. Jackery’s Memorial Day Sale extra 5% savings have not been factored into any prices below, so be sure to use the code HONOR5 on any single or combined orders of $1,300 or more! On top of that, some units may have coupons for increased savings up to 7% that can be used over the 5% coupon.

Heybike Ranger S and Mars 2.0 folding e-bikes

Heybike celebrates anniversary with bundles and up to $700 in e-bike savings to new and returning lows from $899

Heybike is celebrating its 4th anniversary through June 6 with up to $700 discounts across its e-bikes, along with anniversary gift packs, as well as new and returning low prices due to automatic discounts applied in your cart. While not at its all-time lowest, we are spotting the prodigal return of Heybike’s Ranger S Folding e-bike at $999 shipped, after the extra $100 discount is automatically applied in your cart. The EV is coming down from its $1,499 full price, which has been spending 2025 mostly keeping to $1,099 since we saw it drop to $999 and $899 back in November and December. The $500 in savings here puts it back at the second-lowest price we have tracked, and marks the lowest rate of the new year. Along with your purchase, you’ll also be getting a gift box, a front basket, and a large rear cargo basket for free. Head below to check out the full lineup of deals we’re seeing.

Right alongside the Mars 2.0 model, Heybike’s Ranger S Folding e-bike is one of the most popular EVs under the brand’s flag, especially when considering the space-saving capabilities of its folding frame design. Your decision here will begin with two options for motor sizes, with a standard 750W rear hub motor (1,400W peak) having the option to upgrade to a 1,000W counterpart (1,800W peak) for $200 more. When the five pedal assistance levels are activated, the standard motor tops out at 28 MPH speeds (and coming supported by a cadence sensor) while the upgraded motor bumps up to 32 MPH speeds (supported by a torque sensor). The 692Wh battery on either variant delivers up to a 55-mile travel range after just four hours of charging, courtesy of the improved 4A charger that comes with it.

Along with the included free large basket and front basket that has an iron bottom, you’ll also enjoy some value-packed stock features: a folding step-thru frame, a hydraulic front suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes, an integrated rear cargo rack (which one of the baskets attach to), 20-inch fat tires with fenders over each, an LED headlight, an LED taillight with brake lighting, and a smart LCD display.

Bluetti AC200PL portable power station

Equip off-grid journeys with Bluetti’s AC200PL 2,304Wh LiFePO4 power station at an exclusive new $899 low

We’ve got a great exclusive deal from Wellbots for our readers that gives you Bluetti’s AC200PL Portable Power Station for $899 shipped, after using the exclusive code 9TO5BLU600 at checkout for an additional $600 off. It’s already down from its $1,739 tag at Wellbots, with the brand directly pricing it at a higher $1,999 full rate. In 2025, we’ve mainly seen it dropping down to $1,499 and $1,449, but taking advantage of the exclusive savings not only gives you $840 in savings ($1,100 off the direct MSRP) but also equips you with a sizeable backup power unit at the lowest price we have tracked.

Coming in as an upgraded “plus” model to the popular AC200L, Bluetti’s AC200PL power station starts things off with a greater 2,304Wh LiFePO4 capacity (over the 2,048Wh from the standard model) that can expand up to 8,448Wh with the appropriate expansion batteries. It covers devices and appliances through four AC ports, two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, two DC ports (one for your car, one for your RV), a NEMA TT-30 port (also for RV), and two 15W wireless charging pads. You’ll get a steady 2,400W output through these port options, which surges up to 4,800W to cover larger needs, especially if you’re taking it with you in an RV.

Rated for 3,000+ charging cycles, this unit has five ways to recharge its own battery (not counting any expansion setups you have or plan to add on). A standard wall outlet is the fastest option in 1.5 hours, while a gas generator takes a little longer at 2 hours and its max 1,200W solar input takes 2.8 hours, as well as the options to charge via your car and/or a lead-acid battery.

Anker SOLIX Everfrost 2 58L dual-zone electric cooler

Anker’s EverFrost 2 58L dual-zone electric cooler now at its best post-launch rate of $850 in Memorial Day savings

Looking back in on Anker’s SOLIX Memorial Day Sale that is running through May 26, after already spotting new lows on the latest F3800 Plus units, we’re also seeing the brand’s EverFrost 2 58L Dual-Zone Electric Cooler coming down to $849.99 shipped, along with other deals/bundles for this model and its smaller counterpart. The 58L variant has carried a $1,100 price tag since first launching in March, with this sale’s deal being the best post-launch rate we’ve seen direct from Anker, beaten out only by its $800 pre-sale launch price. You can learn more about it in our hands-on review here, as well as by heading below where we’ve also laid out the other deals for this second-gen series.

Anker’s SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L electric cooler is the largest model of the two available sizes (40L single-zone model below) and the only one to sport the dual-zone compartments for simultaneous refrigeration and freezing. These new models have been upgraded from the previous generation’s direct cooling to a new air-cooled system, which allows it to reach your desired temperatures at much faster rates. The standard package comes with one 288Wh removable battery, with a second port for an additional battery and extended capabilities (with a bundle option for the two batteries below), which Anker claims provides up to 104 hours of continuous runtime when set in Eco Mode.

What’s really nice about these batteries is their secondary use as power banks when they aren’t powering the coolers, delivering some versatile backup power through either the 60W USB-C or 12W USB-A ports. There are four recharging options here, with cables to plug into a wall outlet or car port to charge as you drive, as well as a max 100W solar input or the option to plug directly to the batteries with a USB-C connection. The coolers come with an IPX3 water-resistance build, 6-inch wheels to tackle semi-rough terrain, an integrated bottle opener, a fold-down tray that doubles as a handle, and sections to attach the brand’s add-on accessory kit. As I mentioned, you can get an in-depth look at what to expect in our hands-on review.

China overhauls EV charging: 100,000 ultra-fast public stations by 2027

China overhauls EV charging: 100,000 ultra-fast public stations by 2027

BYD EV fast charger China

China just laid out a plan to roll out over 100,000 ultra-fast EV charging stations by 2027 – and they’ll all be open to the public.

The National Development and Reform Commission’s (NDRC) joint notice, issued on Monday, asks local authorities to put together construction plans for highway service areas and prioritize the ones that see 40% or more usage during holiday travel rushes.

The NDRC notes that China’s ultra-fast EV charging infrastructure needs upgrading as more 800V EVs hit the road. Those high-voltage platforms can handle super-fast charging in as little as 10 to 30 minutes, but only if the charging hardware is up to speed.

China had 31.4 million EVs on the road at the end of 2024 – nearly 9% of the country’s total vehicle fleet. But charging access is still catching up. As of May 2025, there were 14.4 million charging points, or roughly 1 for every 2.2 EVs.

To keep the grid running smoothly, China wants new chargers to be smart, with dynamic pricing to incentivize off-peak charging and solar and storage to power the charging stations.

To make the business side work, the government is pushing for 10-year leases for charging station operators, and it’s backing the buildout with local government bonds.

The NDRC emphasized that the DC fast chargers built will be open to the public. This is a big deal because a lot of fast chargers in China aren’t. For example, BYD’s new megawatt chargers aren’t open to third-party vehicles.

As of September 2024, China had expanded its charging infrastructure to 11.4 million EV chargers, but only 3.3 million were public.

Two charged in $650 million global crypto scam that promised 300% returns

Two charged in 0 million global crypto scam that promised 300% returns

Federal prosecutors have charged two men in connection with a sprawling cryptocurrency investment scheme that defrauded victims out of more than $650 million.

The indictment, unsealed in the District of Puerto Rico, accuses Michael Shannon Sims, 48, of Georgia and Florida, and Juan Carlos Reynoso, 57, of New Jersey and Florida, of operating and promoting OmegaPro, an international crypto multi-level marketing scheme that promised investors 300% returns over 16 months through foreign exchange trading.

“This case exposes the ruthless reality of modern financial crime,” said the Internal Revenue Service’s Chief of Criminal Investigations Guy Ficco. “OmegaPro promised financial freedom but delivered financial ruin.”

From 2019 to 2023, Sims, Reynoso and their co-conspirators allegedly lured thousands of victims worldwide to purchase “investment packages” using cryptocurrency, falsely claiming the funds would be safely managed by elite forex traders, the Department of Justice said.

Prosecutors said the pair flaunted their wealth through social media and extravagant events — including projecting the OmegaPro logo onto the Burj Khalifa, Dubai’s tallest building — to convince investors the operation was legitimate.

A video posted to the company’s LinkedIn page shows guests in evening attire posing for photos and watching the spectacle in Dubai.

In reality, authorities allege, OmegaPro was a pyramid-style fraud.

When the company later claimed it had suffered a hack, the defendants told victims they had transferred their funds to a new platform called Broker Group, the DOJ said. Users were never able to withdraw their money from either platform.

The two men face charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

The Justice Department, FBI, IRS-Criminal Investigation, and Homeland Security Investigations led the multiagency investigation, with help from international partners.
