It’s Memorial Day and we’re rounding together a bunch of new and ongoing Green Deals for you to get the most savings out of the holiday. Headlining today’s coverage is Ride1Up’s increased savings on two e-bikes, led by the Portola Compact Folding e-bike that is down at $995 and continuing its BOGO accessory promo. Next, from EcoFlow’s Memorial Day Sale through May 28, we have the final flash savings event for today only that gives you the RIVER 2 Max Portable Power Station for $309, as well as two add-on accessory deals from $329. We also have Navee’s Memorial Day Sale that is taking up to $400 off e-scooters, including the 40-mile trekking S65 Electric Scooter for $560. From there, we’ve included some of the most popular events during the holiday from Lectric, Rad Power, Anker SOLIX, Samsung, and more – with all the rest of the hangover Green Deals in the links at the bottom of the page, rounded together in our Electrified Weekly post.

Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Ride1Up is increasing/adding savings on select e-bike offers during its Memorial Day Sale, with the brand’s popular Portola Compact Folding e-bike taking the lead and dropping down to $995 shipped. Normally priced at $1,095 in our post-tariff marketplace, this model doesn’t see many massive price cuts as its already down at quite the affordable rate, though we have seen it go $100 lower in the past, last seen during the brand’s 2024 Black Friday sale. Taking advantage of this deal while it lasts gives you quite the array of high-value features for the second-lowest price we have tracked. Plus, it’s still retaining its BOGO accessory promotion too, adding to the savings while upgrading your riding experience.

One of the Ride1Up’s most well-known models, the Portola Folding e-bike is a great option for folks wanting a budget-friendly commuting solution that can also save you space when not in use, all for under $1,000 too. You’ll have two options for its battery (with only a $100 difference in price): there’s the standard 10.4Ah battery that provides you with a 40-mile range, or the upgraded 13.4Ah battery that bumps that up to 45+ miles depending on conditions. Utilizing the throttle alone tops off at 20 MPH speeds, while having the pedal assistance activated helps you reach 28 MPH top speeds.

As I mentioned, there’s plenty of great features for the price here, like the 3-inch wide cross-country tires with fenders over each, the suspension travel fork, dual piston hydraulic brakes, Shimano Altus 8-speed derailleur, front and rear LED lights (with brake lighting), an integrated rear cargo rack (which is compatible with the brand’s passenger kit), the folding frame, and a 2.2-inch LCD display for setting adjustments and real-time performance data.

Ride1Up has also added its Roadster V3 Lightweight Premium e-bike to the sale at $1,395 shipped, down from $1,495. This model is great for those needing a more manageable ride that isn’t heavy or for those wanting to keep their health in mind, as it is great for cardio with its PAS turned off. It comes with a sleeker, streamlined frame, housing a 500W Angled gear quiet MIVICE hub motor and a 10Ah battery in order to travel up to 40 miles with the PAS support (and the Intui-Drive torque sensor). You’re speed will be determined by which drive train setup you go with (both being at the same price) – either 25 MPH with the belt-drive or 28 MPH with the chain-drive. There’s also features like the 700x45c Schwalbe G-One RS gravel tires with fenders over top, integrated front and rear lighting, the two-tone 1.3-inch VeloFox tempered glass OLED display, and more.

Be sure to check out the full lineup of deals from Ride1Up’s Memorial Day Sale in our original coverage here.

EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max portable power station

EcoFlow drops RIVER 2 Max 512Wh LiFePO4 power station to $309 (Reg. $469) along with two add-on offers from $329

As part of its ongoing Memorial Day Sale that will be continuing with up to 67% discounts on power stations through May 28, EcoFlow has three short-term flash offers – one on a power station, two on add-on accessories. These deals are being led by the brand’s RIVER 2 Max Portable Power Station, which is down at $309 shipped through the rest of the day. Normally going for $469 at full price these days, discounts kept things above $349 until April, when we saw it start dipping as low as $290. Today’s deal comes in as the second-lowest we have tracked, giving you an ample yet more compact backup power solution with $160 cut from the tag. It’s even beating out its Amazon pricing by $50.

Great for folks who are looking for a more compact power solution for smaller devices and appliances while on trips or for at-home use, the RIVER 2 Max covers needs with a 512Wh LiFePO4 capacity and an output of up to 1,000W (500W steady). There are nine port options giving you plenty of versatility, with four ACs, three USB-As, one USB-C, and one DC. Plugging it into a standard wall outlet gets you back to a full battery in one hour, with options to use solar capabilities (220W max input) taking 3+ hours, or you can plug it into your car’s auxiliary port for 8+ hours of charging as you drive. As usual, you’ll get the full array of remote smart controls for updates and setting adjustments, and it comes rated for 3,000 life cycles that gives you over eight continuous years of use were you to be discharging and recharging it every single day.

The other two offers running through the rest of the day, provide cash savings on add-on accessories for your existing setups or for any you were planning to pick up during this sale, with two 110W solar panels going for $329 shipped, down from $798, while two DELTA Pro Ultra Expansion Batteries are down at $4,599 shipped, down from $6,598. The solar panel package would fit right along with the DELTA 2 Max offer, or any other power station you may already have. Of course, the second of these offers is best for your existing DELTA Pro Ultra setup, increasing its capacity by an additional 12.2KWh.

Be sure to check out the full lineup of deals we’re seeing from EcoFlow’s Memorial Day Sale that will continue through May 28 with up to 67% discounts on units, bonus savings, free gifts, and more.

Navee S65 electric scooter

Save up to $400 on three Navee e-scooters, like the 40-mile traveling S65 with dual suspension at $560

Navee is offering some Memorial Day savings on a small selection of e-scooters, with the lineup led by the S65 Electric Scooter at $559.99 shipped. This model normally fetches $960 at full price, but through the upcoming holiday, you’ll be saving 42% off that rate, bringing it down to some incredibly affordable pricing for its features, and particularly, its travel range. Grabbing it here while the deals last cuts $400 off the going rate at the best price we have seen since the brand came onto our radar. Head below for more on this e-scooter and its counterparts that are seeing discounts through the weekend.

A perfect addition for folks with longer commutes, and also those who want options for some serious travel range when out on joyrides, Navee’s S65 electric scooter certainly handles going the distance with its 40.4-mile range on a single charge at up to 20 MPH speeds. It achieves this performance thanks to the 597.7Wh battery and 500W motor that peaks at 1,000W for incline tackling. There’s plenty of features to admire for the price tag too, like the 10-inch tubeless tires with a jelly layer to fight against sudden punctures so your riding doesn’t have to prematurely end, as well as the dual suspension system, the folding frame, a smart LED display, an IPX5 water-resistance construction, a 265-pound rider payload, and more.

Octopus Energy’s Texas power bill plan is compellingly simple

Octopus Energy's Texas power bill plan is compellingly simple

Octopus Energy

Time-of-use electricity plans are hardly a new concept, but what makes Octopus Energy’s new time-of-use plan, OctopusFlex, great is that it’s ridiculously simple.

It rewards its customers in Lubbock, Texas, for using power between 10 pm and 6 am with cheaper rates, when the grid is quieter and cleaner. That means big savings for choosing to run your dishwasher or washer and dryer at night or charging your EV while you sleep.

And if customers use EV charger apps and smart thermostats, OctopusFlex automatically shifts electricity use to off-peak hours, which makes a real difference in accessing lower rates and saving money.

“This is about more than off-peak discounts,” said Nick Chaset, CEO of Octopus Energy US. “We’re giving customers the power to save money while actively supporting a cleaner, more balanced grid.”

Built around customer feedback, OctopusFlex is designed for total transparency. Customers can see exactly how and when they’re using electricity, what it’s costing them, and no connected devices are required. All they have to do is remember that electricity is cheaper from 10 pm to 6am.

“We’re thrilled to launch OctopusFlex, a plan our customers asked for and helped name,” said Katie Rosario, marketing manager. “With OctopusFlex, customers can shift energy use on their terms to save money.”

And in the summer, when solar power is strong and demand shifts, OctopusFlex customers could see low rates not just overnight, but all day long. (This program is designed for folks who don’t have solar and battery storage.)

“Time-of-use is one of the easiest ways to cut energy bills and reward flexibility,” said Daniel Kirwin, product manager. “We couldn’t be more excited to bring this to Texas.”

By nudging demand to off-peak hours, OctopusFlex helps reduce the strain on Texas’ grid during scorching summer afternoons, cuts the risk of blackouts, and makes room for more renewable energy.

Want to make the most of it? Pre-cool your home in the early morning, run big appliances overnight, charge your EV after 10 pm, and use smart plugs or timers to set and forget.

OctopusFlex is now live in Lubbock, Texas, where Octopus Energy became a retail provider in early 2024. Octopus Energy launched in 2016 and entered the US market in 2020. The company is part of Octopus Group, a global certified BCorp operating in 18 countries.

To limit power outages and make your home more resilient, consider going solar with a battery storage system. In order to find a trusted, reliable solar installer near you that offers competitive pricing, check out EnergySage, a free service that makes it easy for you to go solar. They have hundreds of pre-vetted solar installers competing for your business, ensuring you get high-quality solutions and save 20-30% compared to going it alone. Plus, it’s free to use and you won’t get sales calls until you select an installer and you share your phone number with them.

Your personalized solar quotes are easy to compare online and you’ll get access to unbiased Energy Advisers to help you every step of the way. Get started here. –trusted affiliate link*

BYD is on a roll as another global EV hits a huge milestone

Are you sick of hearing BYD’s name yet? You may want to get used to it. Another one of its EV models crossed a major milestone on Monday as BYD’s global push heats up.

BYD Atto 3 EV hits 1 million cumulative sales milestone

BYD announced on Weibo that its cumulative global sales of the Yuan Up electric SUV surpassed the 1 million mark on Monday.

The Yuan Up is sold in China and rebranded under the name Atto 3 in global markets. It’s the third vehicle in BYD’s Dynasty series to achieve this feat, following the BYD Song (sold globally under the name Seal U) and the Qin sedan.

BYD first launched the electric SUV in China in February 2022, meaning it took just over three years and four months to sell one million units.

In China, the Yuan Up starts at just 115,800 yuan ($16,100), but overseas, it typically costs more. For example, the Atto 3 starts at around 38,000 euros ($44,000) in Europe. In Thailand, it was launched at around 1,099,900 baht ($33,600), but BYD has since slashed the prices to around 899,900 baht ($27,500).

BYD-EV-milestone
BYD-ev-milestone

After launching the electric SUV in Hyundai and Kia’s home market of Korea earlier this year, the Atto 3 secured over 1,000 preorders in under a week.

Measuring 4,455 mm in length, 1,875 mm in width, and 1,615 mm in height, the Atto 3 is a small SUV, about the size of the Nissan Qashqai.

BYD-EV-milestone

In China, the Yuan Up is available with two LFP battery options: 49.9 kWh and 60.5 kWh, providing a CLTC range of 430 km (267 miles) and 510 km (317 miles), respectively. The Atto 3 is rated with a WLTP range of 345 km (214 miles) and 420 km (261 miles).

The Yuan Up (Atto 3) is the latest BYD EV to reach the milestone. Last week, it was BYD’s top-selling electric car, the Seagull.

BYD’s Seagull EV starts at under $10,000 (69,800 yuan) in China and is sold globally under the name Dolphin Mini. In Europe, where it was launched earlier this month, it’s sold as the Dolphin Surf, with starting prices at € 19,990 ($23,100).

All the EVs you can buy with 0% interest financing in June 2025

ford f-150 lightning home back up

The world seems awfully tinderbox-y these days, what with a heat dome descending over the US, the Strait of Hormuz getting locked down, and gas prices set to climb on rising oil prices. As such, it might be a good time to buy that slick new EV you’ve had your eye on. If that sounds like you, you’re in luck! There are a bunch of great plug-in cars you can buy with 0% financing in June, 2025!

As I was putting this list together, I realized there were plenty of ways for me to present this information. “Best EVs ..?” Too opinion based. “Cheapest EVs ..?” Too much research. “Biggest discount deal ..?” Too individualized. In the end, I went with alphabetical order, by make. And, as for which deals are new this month? You’re just gonna have to check the list. Enjoy!

Acura ZDX

2025 Acura ZDX; via Acura.
2025 Acura ZDX; via Acura.

A solidly-built EV with GM levels of parts support and Honda levels of fit, finish, and quality control plus Apple CarPlay? That’s the Acura ZDX, and (through June 30th) you can get yours with 0% financing for up to 72 months, making the ZDX one the best sporty crossover values in the business.

Chevy Brightdrop ZEVO

Chevrolet BrightDrop ZEVO; via GM.

GM Authority is reporting that the $25,500 discount rolled out to Chevy Brightdrop dealers nationwide has been extended through June 30th on both the Zevo 400 and 600 models, and that the massive Brightdrop price drop is stackable with up to $3,000 in Costco member savings plus 0% interest financing.

If you’re looking for a new truck for your business or even a unique #vanlife ride with zero emissions, modern tech, and a nationwide dealer network, GM makes that $130 Executive membership seem like a no-brainer.

Every electric Chevrolet

Silverado EV, Equinox EV, and Blazer EV at a Tesla Supercharger; via GM.

Chevrolet is offering 0% financing for up to 60 months on all three of its remaining 2024 model year Ultium-based EVs – and they’re all winners. The Silverado can be spec’ed up to a 10,500 lb. GVWR, making it capable enough to tow whatever horse, boat, or RV you put behind it.

On the crossover side, both the Chevy Blazer EV and Equinox EV each offer their own takes on the five-passenger family SUV, with the cost of base model Equinox LT FWD models with 319 miles of EPA-rated range dropping to just $27,500 after you apply the $7,500 Federal tax credit (which, for now, is still a thing).

Dodge Charger Daytona

Dodge dealers are hoping that at least a few muscle car enthusiasts with extra cash will find their way to a Dodge store and ask for the meanest, loudest, tire-shreddingest thing on the lot without caring too much about what’s under the hood. For them, Dodge has the new electric Charger, and Dodge will help get the deal done on its latest retro-tastic ride with 0% interest financing for up to 72 months!

Ford Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning

Ford-free-EV-charger

This month, you can get a killer deal on a new Ford Mustang Mach-E, with 0% interest financing for up to 72 months on the sporty plug-in pony car.

If you’re looking for something more practical, the Ford F-150 Lightning is a reasonably capable half-ton truck with V2X capabilities that first proved themselves during Texas’ 2021 ice storms, when they backed up people’s homes while they waited for power to get restored. Ford Pro customers buying an F-150 Lightning for their commercial or public fleet also get Ford’s support in sourcing grants and incentives – meaning your fleet manager would be crazy not to take a serious look at this electric pickup.

GMC Sierra + Hummer EVs

2025 GMC Sierra
GMC Sierra EV; via GM.

Another legacy brand with a solid Powerwall option, the big Ultium-based EVs from GM’s commercial truck brand are seriously impressive machines, with shockingly quick acceleration and on-road handling that seems to defy the laws of physics once you understand that these are, essentially, medium-duty trucks. This month, GMC is doing its best to move out its existing inventory, so if you’re a fan of heavy metal you’ll definitely want to stop by your local GMC dealer and give the Hummer EV a test drive.

Hyundai IONIQ 6

Hyundai-IONIQ-6-price-2024
Hyundai IONIQ 6; via Hyundai.

From some angles, the Porsche influences in the Hyundai IONIQ 6′ design are obvious – but not so much so that it seems like a copy of anything. It’s aerodynamically efficient, comfortable, quick, offers up to 361 miles of range, can charge just about anywhere, and now through June 30th, it’s available with 0% financing for up to 48 months.

Jeep Wagoneer S

Jeep-Wagoneer-S-Limited
Electric Jeep Wagoneer S; via Stellantis.

With some dealers advertising massive $25,000 discounts, the Jeep Wagoneer S is a confusingly named EV diamond in the rough. This high-riding crossover rides on a lifted version of the same Stellantis platform as the Dodge Charger, and seems more than ready to deliver solid range and on-road performance.

With those killer deals and 0% interest for up to 72 months through June 30th, the Wagoneer S might just be the best Jeep deal you’re going to find this month!

Lexus RZ

Lexus-lease-cash-RZ
2024 Lexus RZ 450e Luxury; via Lexus.

Starting at $55,175, the Lexus RZ promises up to 266 miles of EPA-rated range from a 72.8 kWh battery back in the “base” RZ300e (and 224 from the top-shelf RZ450e, shown above). With up to 308 hp and over 195 lb-ft of instant, all-electric torque, the RZ promises to be one Lexus’ zippier rides in any trim.

US News is reporting that remaining 2024 and ’25 Lexus RZ models qualify for 0% financing for up to 72 months in some regions.

Nissan Ariya

I’ve already said that the Nissan Ariya didn’t get a fair shake. If you click that link, you’ll read about a car that offers solid driving dynamics, innovative interior design, and all the practicality that makes five-passenger crossovers the must-haves they’ve become for most families. With up to 289 miles of EPA-rated range, Tesla Supercharger access, and 0% interest from Nissan for up to 72 months, Nissan dealers should have no trouble finding homes for these.

Tesla Model 3

Say what you will about Elon Musk, we wouldn’t be here talking about EVs at all if it wasn’t for his marketing brilliance, bravado, and sheer force of will. Beyond that, Tesla simply offers as superior ownership experience through total software integration, unfettered access to the Supercharger network, and the best EV route-planning software this side of Chargeway.

If you can stomach being associated with Elon (or have an inside line on some spare Honda badges), you can get a new Model 3 for 0% interest or 0.99% with $0 down if you apply the $7,500 Federal tax incentive at the point of purchase.

Toyota bZ4X

Toyota-GM-EV-battery-plant
Toyota bZ4X; via Toyota.

Toyota is updating its bZ4X with a new name and a slightly updated look for 2026, but the 2025 model is still a solid mid-sized contended that packs Toyota’s reputation for reliability with a staggering three decades of modern EV battery know-how that goes back to the OG Prius launched in 1997.

With an updated bZ waiting in the wings, the current bZ4X EV might be the best deal in Toyota’s current lineup with big discounts on remaining 2024 and 2025 model year bZ4X crossovers happening all month long.

VW ID.4

VW ID4.

One of the most popular legacy EVs, the ID.4 offers Volkswagen build quality and a Chat-GPT enabled interface. Still, with a relatively affordable base price, lickety-quick charging, up to 291 miles of EPA-rated range, and a 5-star safety rating, and 0% interest financing for 72 months, the ID.4 offers a value proposition that’s tough to beat.

Disclaimer: the vehicle models and financing deals above were sourced from CarsDirect, CarEdge, and (where mentioned) the OEM websites – and were current as of 23JUN2025. These deals may not be available in every market, with every discount, or for every buyer (the standard “with approved credit” fine print should be considered implied). Check with your local dealer(s) for more information.
