Get up to 67% off power stations, solar generators, more during EcoFlow’s Memorial Day Sale starting from $50

EcoFlow has its Memorial Day Sale promotions running through May 28 with up to 67% being taken off power stations, solar generators, and more – all with extra savings and select members-only pricing. A standout bundle that is returning to its lowest price is the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Solar Generator bundle that comes with two 220W solar panels and a protective bag for the station at $2,279.05 shipped, after using the code EFRVSALEAFF at checkout for an additional 5% off. This bundle would normally run you $4,997 at full price these days, but is starting down at $2,399, with the extra savings making the deal all the sweeter with an additional $120 taken off the tag. It’s matching the same price we saw during the brand’s shorter Mother’s Day Sale, coming back around at the all-time lowest rate we have tracked with a total $2,718 in savings.

One of EcoFlow’s most popular backup power solutions, the DELTA Pro boasts a robust 3,600Wh LiFePO4 capacity to cover off-grid living (with the solar panels ensuring the sun can re-juice its cells), which you can invest in over time to pump up to 25KWh that covers trips, events, home backup, and more (though you’ll also want to check out transfer switch options). There are 14 port options that can dish out up to 3,600W of steady power, with it even surging as high as 7,200W for hungrier and more essential appliances, especially during emergency power loss.

It has a max 1,600W solar input that will have the battery back to full in 2.8 hours, so the 440W you’ll be getting in this bundle will obviously take a bit more time. You can also plug it into a power outlet to have it recharged in 1.8 hours, or utilize your car’s auxiliary port while driving. With a Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth connection, you’ll stay synced to the real-time status of the station’s settings and performance, with remote controls to change things as needed.

***Note: The extra 5% sitewide savings have not been factored into the prices below, so be sure to use the promo code EFRVSALEAFF at checkout to get the maximum savings possible!

Lectric XP Trike e-bike

Hop on Lectric’s XP Trike with the biggest bundle to date of $508 in free gear for $1,499 ($2,007 value)

Lectric’s Memorial Day Sale has shaken up the previous bundle packages we’ve been seeing the last few months, with the event offering up to $742 in free gear along with your e-bike purchases through next week’s holiday. One notable increase this time around that deserves a spotlight is the Lectric XP Trike that comes with $508 in free gear at $1,499 shipped. This bundle we’re seeing during this sale would normally run the costs up to $2,007 in full, but the massive savings we usually see from the brand come in the form of these accessory packages, with this being the biggest we’ve seen to date. Along with the e-bike, you’ll be getting a pair of rear-view mirrors, an accordion-style folding bike lock, a suspension seat post, an Elite headlight, a wider saddle with a backrest, a bell, and the brand’s steel-encased cargo package for the front and rear.

Perfect for older riders, as well as anyone else looking for a more leisurely way to get around for joyrides, commutes, and even errands, Lectric’s XP Trike provides plenty of versatility. It sports a folding frame for space-saving convenience, housing a 500W planetary geared brushless motor (peaking to 1,092W) alongside a 48V 13Ah battery to reach 14 MPH top speeds for up to 50 miles of travel while its five PAS levels are active. Those who may be new to e-bikes will also get the added support from its default mode, which limits acceleration and speed to allow you to develop your comfort more thoroughly.

Along with the sizeable bundle it’s getting, the XP Trike already comes with a bunch of noteworthy features for the price, like the guaranteed stopping power of its hydraulic brakes (and the additional parking brake). There’s also the integrated rear lights (with brake lighting), slimmer tires for easier turning, an ergonomic twist throttle for electric cruising (which will shorten its mileage), and a backlit LCD display. On top of everything, the build comes with an IP65 water- and dust-resistant construction.

Be sure to check out the full lineup of Lectric’s Memorial Day Sale while the deals last through next week’s holiday, with the largest packages hitting the XPedition 2.0 Cargo e-bikes that start from $1,399, as well as the ongoing preorder bundles on the new XP4 and XP4 750 e-bikes from $999, among others. You can also browse all the live EV sales in one place by heading to our Ride to Work EV hub, which has been put together to give you all the best deals from our favorite brands.

EGO Z6 42-inch cordless electric zero-turn riding lawn mower

EGO’s Z6 42-inch electric zero-turn riding mower with an e-STEER LCD wheel and four 12.0Ah batteries back at $4,999 low

Amazon is dropping the EGO Power+ Z6 42-inch Cordless Electric Zero-Turn Riding Lawn Mower with e-STEER wheel and four 12.0Ah batteries back to its best price of $4,998.99 shipped. It usually goes for $5,999 at full price, though tariffs are seeing increased tag rates lately. We saw this model drop down to this same rate at the top of March and held out until early April when it went out of stock. Grabbing it here while the savings and stock are back gives you another chance at $1,000+ off the going rate, returning it to the lowest price we have tracked. Head below for more on this model and its variants that are also seeing discounts.

Coming in as the smallest of EGO’s Z6 series, this 42-inch riding mower has been equipped with four independent brushless motors powered by the four included 12.0Ah batteries to keep things running for up to 2.5 acres on a single charge. Of course, as is always convenient with EGO tools, any other 56V ARC batteries you may already own can also be thrown into the mix, whether in the two open ports or to switch out, providing you with extended runtimes to tackle even more.

This model comes with three driving modes to choose from (control, standard, and sport), and features EGO’s e-STEER wheel that pairs well with the zero-turn maneuverability for improved control as you work. The steering wheel also boasts an LCD interface that lets you better customize your experience with more streamlined controls. You’ll also benefit from the adjustable seat suspension, 10 cutting height levels, 3-in-1 functionality for bagging, side discharging, and mulching, and more.

Anker SOLIX C300 AC Power Station

Anker’s SOLIX C300 AC 90,000mAh power station makes an excellent traveling companion at $217 (Today only)

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Anker SOLIX C300 AC Portable Power Station for $216.99 shipped through the rest of the day. This unit normally fetches $300 at full price directly from the brand, but starts at $270 from Best Buy. Since tariffs hit the market a few months ago, discounts have been reduced across multiple marketplaces, with things usually getting cut down between $239 and $250 lately. While we have seen the price go lower, especially during November and December, you’re still looking at a solid $53 markdown ($83 off the direct MSRP) that not only drops costs to the second-best price we’ve seen over the last four months, but also undercut’s Anker’s current Memorial Day Sale, as well as Amazon’s pricing, by $33.

One of Anker’s more portable backup power solutions that can be slung over your shoulder or toted inside a bag, this SOLIX C300 power station covers your personal devices and smaller appliances with a hefty 90,000mAh LiFePO4 battery. Unlike the DC variant, which is more USB-focused, this model boasts three AC outlets alongside the three USB-C ports, single USB-A, and the car port. It dishes out a steady stream of power at up to 300W, surging as high as 600W when needed.

You’ll have a few different ways to go about recharging its battery, with a standard wall outlet putting the battery back to 80% in about 50 minutes, with additional methods through either its solar input (100W max), a car port, or through its PD 3.1 USB-C port. It also comes designed for camping, as an integrated handle on top makes carrying it easy (with shoulder strap hooks too), while the integrated light bar above the display helps to see when deep in the thick and dark woods of off-grid sites.

Best Spring 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.

MINI x Deus Ex Machina Skeg electric concept lightens the mood

MINI x Deus Ex Machina Skeg electric concept lightens the mood

MINI JCW x Deus Ex Machina: Two worlds. Two cars. Singular enthusiasm.

MINI has partnered with lifestyle brand, Deus Ex Machina, to develop this. It’s called the Skeg, and it’s a high-performance, racing-inspired electric concept car that’s sure to lighten the mood – by shedding fully 15% of its mass in the quest for speed.

One of a pair of exclusive, one-off concepts based on MINI’s John Cooper Works cars. The Deus Ex Machina Skeg celebrates MINI’s storied racing history with what the company calls, “a clean, minimal, and quiet rebellion,” that draws on materials, technologies, and philosophies from the world of surfing.

The electric MINI JCW Skeg is stripped to its essentials, with much of the steel and aluminum bits replaced with lightweight fiberglass to maximize acceleration while driving the minimalist aesthetic home. The end result weighs 15% less than the standard car – but makes the same stout 190 kW (258 hp) as the production car.

Surf’s up

The interior is stripped back to the barest essentials, reflecting BMW’s vision of a surf culture that prioritizes function over form. MINI claims the end result resembles a mobile surf shop, with fiberglass trays for wetsuits, specially shaped bins, neoprene seats, and other touches that “bring the surf culture into the interior.”

For their part, the BMW and MINI styling team seems pretty proud of its minimalistic electric endeavor. “In this extraordinary collaboration … every single detail has been crafted with artisanal precision and expertise,” says Holger Hampf, Head of MINI Design. “This has resulted in unique characters that are clearly perceived as belonging together through their distinctive design language and use of graphics.”

The concept retains the production version’s 54.2 kWh li-ion battery pack, up to 250 of WLTP range with the production aero kit, sprints from 0-100 km (62 mph) in just 5.9 seconds. With 15% less mass, though, that should jump to more than 255 miles, with 0-60 times dropping below 5.5 seconds.

I dig it – but I’d skip the surf bits and just appreciate the raw composite, minimalist interior look for what it is. Take a look at the image gallery, below, then let us know what you think of MINI’s Skeg concept in the comments.

Volvo Penta teams up with e-power to equip Boels with next-gen Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Volvo Penta teams up with e-power to equip Boels with next-gen Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Volvo battery

Veteran marine and industrial power solutions company Volvo Penta has joined forces with energy solutions provider e-power to build battery energy storage systems (BESS). Volvo Penta’s battery systems for energy storage will power BESS units built by e-power that can be catered to a range of applications, most notably construction rental clients like Boels Rentals in Europe.

Volvo Penta is a provider of sustainable power solutions that currently serves land and sea applications under the Volvo Group umbrella. As more and more of the world goes all-electric, the global manufacturer has also adapted, sharing cultural values with Volvo Group to engineer new and innovative sustainable power solutions.

Nearly 100 years later, Volvo Penta remains an industry leader in marine propulsion systems and industrial engines. As more and more of the world goes all-electric, the Swedish manufacturer has also adapted, sharing cultural values with Volvo Group to engineer new and innovative sustainable power solutions.

For example, all Volvo Penta diesel engines now run on hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO), reducing well-to-wheel emissions by up to 90% across the marine and industrial power industries. On the zero-emissions side, Volvo Penta has expressed its dedication to fossil-free power solutions, including battery electric components to serve heavy-duty applications such as terminal tractors, forklifts, drill rigs, and feed mixers, to name a few.

To leverage its battery electric value chain, Volvo Penta has also ventured into battery systems for energy storage (or BESS subsystems). These energy-dense, purpose-built BESS subsystems can provide portable, sustainable energy for all-electric charging and reduce grid dependency.

Volvo Penta to deploy battery systems for energy storage

Volvo Penta recently announced a strategic partnership with e-power, a Belgian power solutions provider. Together, Volvo Penta and e-power will develop a scalable Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for Boels Rental.

The collaboration continues a long-standing partnership between all three companies. Boels – one of the largest construction rental companies is a long-time customer of e-power generators that utilize Volvo Penta engines. As the company shifts toward electrification and sustainability, it will again turn to those companies to deliver reliable performance.

Volvo Penta’s BESS subsystem comprises battery packs, a Battery Management System (BMS), DC/DC converters, and thermal management, combining to offer a compact, high-density, and transport-friendly solution optimized for rental operations. The company shared that this BESS design is integration-ready, enabling other OEMs like e-power to adapt and scale systems to customer-specific needs. Per e-power business support director, Jens Fets:

We’ve built our reputation on reliability and efficient power systems. Working again with Volvo Penta, this time on battery energy storage, allows us to meet the growing demand for energy in a silent, low-emissions, compact and mobile design—especially in rental applications.

The deployment of these new battery energy storage systems will help Boels cater to its customers’ growing demand for clean, silent, and mobile energy solutions in construction and other industrial applications. 

Aside from being more quickly adaptable to customer needs, Volvo Penta says its BESS architecture marks an overall shift in rental power systems. This is welcome news for all who support a cleaner, more sustainable future across all industries.

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC EV exterior leaks ahead of schedule

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC EV exterior leaks ahead of schedule

Mercedes-GLC-EV-face
The 2026 GLC EV will showcase a new face; via Mercedes-Benz.

That didn’t take long! Just a few hours after Mercedes revealed the screen-heavy interior of its upcoming 2026 GLC EV, photos of the new crossover’s exterior – and that controversial grille! – leaked on Instagram and Reddit. We’ve got them here.

Two days ahead of the GLC EV’s officially schedule global debut, images that reportedly show the new 2026 Mercedes undisguised have leaked on Instagram and Reddit. They show the blocky new light-up grille on the nose of a very smooth, jellybean-like crossover shape that, despite Mercedes’ insistence that it’s moving away from the EQ series’ design language, looks an awful lot like an EQ Mercedes.

Check out the leaked images from kindleauto’s Instagram account, below, and see if you agree with that assessment.

If you need to see more before you feel comfortable commenting on the new SUV’s looks, there’s a few more angles over on the r/mercedes_benz subreddit.

As with everything else on the internet, take those unofficial images with a grain of salt and maybe wait until the GLC EV’s official reveal in a few days’ time before casting your final vote on the new look – but there’s very little reason to believe the new Mercedes will look terribly different from what you see here.

Will the new grille and tech-forward interior with its massive, 39″ screen and MB.OS software be enough to turn the tide for Mercedes-Benz, enabling it to finally gain some traction in the electric crossover market? That remains to be seen, but the recently updated Tesla Model Y and crisply-styled new BMW iX3 with its 500 miles of range will make it an uphill battle, for sure.

We got a sneak peek at the new GLC back in July, when Mercedes-Benz Group CEO, Ola Källenius said that, “We’re not just introducing a new model – we’re electrifying our top seller.” Back then, we learned that the new GLC EV would have a wheelbase 3.1″ longer than the current ICE-powered model, as well as more head- and leg-room for its occupants and an extra 4.5 cubic feet (for 61.4 total) of cargo space.

Källenius also promised an innovative new 800V electric architecture and the latest battery tech, which will enable the electric GLC to add around 260 km (~160 miles) of WLTP range in just ten minutes thanks to more than 300 kW of charging capability.
