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.

You can browse Anker’s entire SOLIX Memorial Sale lineup on the landing page here, and be sure to also check out our coverage of the new lows on the brand’s latest F3800 Plus power station and its bundles that start from $2,999.

BYD’s best-selling EV arrives in Europe as the Dolphin Surf with prices starting at $26,000

BYD's best-selling EV arrives in Europe as the Dolphin Surf with prices starting at ,000

BYD-Dolphin-Surf-EV

BYD’s electric hot hatch has officially arrived in Europe. The BYD Dolphin Surf is the European version of its best-selling (and most affordable) EV, the Seagull. Despite its small size, the Dolphin Surf has “huge potential” with prices starting at just 23,000 euros ($26,000).

Meet the BYD Dolphin EV for Europe

With over 55,000 units sold last month alone, the Seagull was BYD’s top-selling EV in April. Last year, it was second, trailing only Tesla’s Model Y as the best-selling electric vehicle in China. Now, you can buy it in Europe.

BYD launched the Dolphin Surf on Wednesday, a longer version of the Seagull with a few upgrades. Although not quite as cheap as the Seagull, which starts at under $10,000 (69,800 yuan) in China, the electric hatch is still one of the most affordable in Europe.

The Dolphin Surf is available in three different versions in Europe, with prices starting at 22,990 euros ($26,000) for the standard range model with a WLTP driving range of 220 km (137 miles).

Until June, BYD is offering a discounted price of just 19,990 euros ($22,700). The longer-range Dolphin Surf starts at 24,990 euros and has a 507 km (315 mile) range.

BYD said the compact electric city car is “built for the big city” with a sporty new design and the automaker’s advanced in-car technology.

Built for the big city

The interior is similar to other BYD vehicles, with a 10.1″ rotating touchscreen (with Apple CarPlay and Android connectivity) at the center. It’s also equipped with “Hi BYD,” a new voice control feature.

Although it may be compact, the Dolphin Surf has over 20 “clever storage areas” and a boot capacity of up to 316 L. With the rear seats folded, the electric hatch offers up to 1,037 L of space.

BYD-Dolphin-Surf-EV

Like its other new vehicles, the Dolphin Surf is equipped with BYD’s Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) as standard, which includes features like intelligent cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and lane-departure assist.

BYD will introduce the four-seater variant in June. With prices expected to start at around 25,000 euros ($28,300), it’s expected to compete with the Renault R5 and Volkswagen’s upcoming ID.2 electric car.

BYD’s region director, Maria Grazia, said during the launch event in Berlin (via Reuters) that “The compact segment is the next frontier for electrification in Europe,” adding “We think this market has huge potential.”

Electrek’s Take

BYD is leading EV sales in China, and it’s not even close. The automaker is coming off its best sales week of the year with nearly 68,000 vehicles registered from May 5 to May 11, up 15% from the previous week.

To give you some perspective, Tesla delivered just 3,070 vehicles in China in the same week, down 69% from the same week in 2024.

Will the Dolphin Surf see the same demand in Europe? With competitive prices, range, and features, it could be BYD’s most important EV so far. It’s the brand’s 10th vehicle to launch in Europe, following the Sealion 07, a smart midsize electric SUV.

According to S&P Global Mobility, BYD’s sales could double in Europe this year to around 186,000. By 2029, that number could reach around 400,000. Although it’s not slated for European production, the report notes that the Dolphin Surf’s “pricing strategy ensures competitiveness in the EU even with tariffs.”

Will the BYD Dolphin Surf become a top-selling EV in Europe? Leave us a comment below and let us know your thoughts.

Fiat really, REALLY wants to build this 4×4 Grande Panda Manifesto concept

Fiat really, REALLY wants to build this 4x4 Grande Panda Manifesto concept

The original Fiat Panda 4×4 was an 80s icon and early entry into the compact SUV movement. Today, the funky electric Panda Grande is still carrying that torch, but it’s clear that someone at Fiat wants to lean into the off-road segment just a bit harder – and that’s what this new Grande Panda 4×4 Manifesto is all about.

First shown during the Grande Panda Hybrid media drive, Fiat is calling the new 4×4 Grande Panda Manifesto concept “the direct heir of the Panda 4×4,” and hopes it can act as a reminder of the 1983 original’s efficient, off-road legacy.

The Grande Panda that debuted last year is available with either a 108 hp 1.2 liter gas engine or a 111 hp electric motor powering the front wheels. The 4×4 concept starts with that electric motor up front, but adds an “innovative” e-axle at the rear of the tiny grande crossover, fully delivering on the “4×4” promise of a powered rear axle despite the lack of a conventional/traditional driveshaft or transfer case.

For their part, Fiat’s people seem pretty proud of the new setup:

From a technical standpoint, the Grande Panda 4×4 concept is thought with an electrified innovative rear axle. This feature would enable the vehicle to deliver impressive performance in urban settings and on more demanding terrain. It’s a deliberate choice that underscores FIAT’s ongoing commitment to embracing increasingly sustainable and forward-looking technologies, all while preserving the adventurous spirit and everyday practicality that have always defined the Panda 4×4.

STELLANTIS

A lifted stance, more aggressive A/T tires, front-mounted accessory lights, steelie wheels, and the seemingly mandatory “overlander” roof rack make up the rest of the modifications. No word yet on the Manifesto’s performance or specs, but I imagine something not too far removed from the new Jeep Compass’ specs makes sense.

And I promise: Fiat really, really wants to build this thing. Watch this space for more announcements, specs, and (eventually) pricing information.

Electrek’s Take

Fiat Panda 4x4 Is Back And Bigger Than Ever

As my aunt Mary would say, Stellantis needs to get down from that cloud and realize that Jeep is not, should, and will not ever be the high-end luxury brand it hopes it will be. Once it does, it can slap a seven-slot grille on this Grande Panda 4×4 Manifesto concept, throw in some removable doors and a folding canvas moonroof, re-brand it as a modern Willys for about $30K, and watch the money roll in.

Fight me.

Xpeng shares rise, adding to 66% rally after the Chinese EV maker's losses narrowed

Xpeng shares jumped as much as 6% in premarket trading in New York, after the Chinese electric vehicle upstart reported first quarter earnings that were ahead of expectations.

The stock had pared gains to rise 5.23% at 12:44 p.m. London time.

Here’s how Xpeng did in the first quarter versus LSEG estimates:

  • Revenue: 15.81 billion Chinese yuan ($2.18 billion), up 141.5% year-on-year and comparing with 15.1 billion yuan expected.
  • Net loss: 660 million yuan, versus a 1.4 billion yuan loss expected and down from 1.37 billion yuan last year.

Xpeng said it anticipates second-quarter revenue will come in between 17.5 billion yuan and 18.7 billion yuan, which was also surpassed consensus estimates.

The Guangzhou-headquartered firm also said it expects to deliver between 102,000 and 108,000 of its electric cars in the second quarter of this year, representing a year-over-year increase of around 237.7% to 257.5%.

Xpeng delivered 94,008 in the first three months of this year.

The company contended with a difficult 2023, when it faced slowing growth and mounting losses because of rising competition in China’s electric vehicle market and increasing economic uncertainty in its home market.

But the company has been aggressive with new products, launching a mass market car last year and a refreshed version of its flagship X9 in April in 2025, helping to improve its fortunes over the last 18 months or so.

That, along with strong deliveries this year, has helped fuel a 66% year-to-date rally in its share price, which has finally helped lift its stock above the $15 per share price that it went public with in 2020. Still, the stock is well off its record high of more than $50 per share hit in October 2021.

Xpeng is now facing an even bigger raft of competition from new entrants like Xiaomi and from incumbents like BYD.

Still, the company is maintaining momentum. Xpeng delivered 35,045 electric vehicles in April, sustaining its record of putting out more than 30,000 vehicles for the sixth consecutive month.
