Anker’s new eufy E15 and E18 robot mowers with pure vision FSD navigation now $300 off with free gift starting from $1,500

Coming from Anker’s official sub-brand, eufy, we’re seeing increased savings alongside a free ambient lighting gift when purchasing either the new E15 Robot Lawn Mower at $1,499.99 shipped or the E18 Robot Lawn Mower at $1,699.99 shipped, after removing the $200 off code and using the promo code RTLM200 at checkout for $300 off on both models. Regularly $1,800 and $2,000 each, this is $300 off the new post-tariff price hikes and matching the best we have tracked since launch deals, with things beating out the $200 discount we’re seeing at Amazon. On top of the cash savings, you’ll also receive a free eufy Indoor Floor Lamp ($100 value) along with your purchase.

These are the latest and most advanced eufy robot mowers, trading in the reliance on boundary wires and RTK stations in favor of pure vision FSD tech with high-precision cameras and advanced AI that guides it around every inch of your yard, with the E15 model tackling up to 0.2 acres on a single charge and the E18 model going longer for up to 0.3 acres. According to the brand, you’ll only have a “5-minute setup” after taking it out of the box, which is done through its companion app, which also provides a full array of smart controls afterwards, letting you adjust settings, monitor its progress, and manage multi-zone areas via the 3D maps that it generates as works throughout your yard.

The 3D perception system on eufy’s E15 & E18 robot mowers detects and avoids collisions with everyday obstacles that it may come across, even in complex garden environments, while the smart coverage detection “guarantees no area is left uncut.” Those with pets or regular wildlife running around can also rest assured, as its systems will ensure their safety while in operation. You’ll be able to set its cutting height between 25mm to 75mm, with it operating at a quieter 56dB level and able to handle up to 40% inclines without concern. Beyond the controls you’ll have through your smartphone, the robot can also detect rainfall and/or when the sun sets, activating its automatic station return function. On top of that, there’s even the security system that activates an alarm when removed from its set work area while providing you with GPS tracking to hunt it down.

EVOLV PRO-R V2 electric scooter

Score $400 off EVOLV’s 50-mile trekking PRO-R V2 e-scooter with dual 1,400W motors at $2,099

EVOLV is currently offering three of its e-scooters at up to $400 off, with the largest discount being on the Pro-R V2 Electric Scooter that is down at $2,099 shipped, after using the on-page promo code for $400 off. The promo code is bringing the costs down from its usual $2,499 tag, which we last saw included in the brand’s Spring Sale back in March. Sadly, the Pro V2 counterpart is sold out, but you can pick up this upgraded variant with the biggest price cut we have seen at the lowest price we have tracked.

EVOLV’s PRO-R V2 electric scooter comes as the upgraded model to the PRO V2, providing far more power for greater incline tackling and traveling times. It’s been equipped with dual 1,400W motors that peak at 3,600W, as well as a 60V 25Ah battery, delivering 44 MPH top speeds for up to 50 miles on a single charge.

Along with its monstrous performance specs, you’ll also have a heightened riding experience thanks to it coming stocked with front and rear spring suspension, front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, a front fender light, a taillight, running lights under its deck, turn signal lights, an IP54 water-resistance rating, and a smart center display – all with a foldable design for easy storage and transport when not in use.

EVOLV’s other e-scooter deals:

Anker SOLIX power stations

Anker extends Memorial Day pricing with up to 55% continued discounts on power stations from $120

Anker has extended its SOLIX Memorial Day pricing as flash offers running through May 29, continuing the new low prices on its F3800 Plus power station and bundles, as well as the best direct post-launch pricing on its EverFrost 2 58L electric cooler. We’re also seeing plenty of solid deals on its smaller backup power solutions, like the F2000 Portable Power Station deals that start from $1,199 shipped for the standalone unit. Normally priced at $1,999 in full, you can save $800 off that rate while these savings last. While we did see it go as low as $999 back during Black Friday sales, this is still a sold 40% markdown off the going rate, matching its Christmas pricing at the third-lowest price we have tracked and also matching in price at Amazon.

Among the larger backup solutions from Anker and a solid mid-tier option to keep devices and appliances going while out of the house or at home during emergency blackouts, the SOLIX F2000 power station carries a 2,048Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can be expanded to 4,096Wh with an expansion battery (bundle options below). It dishes out steady power at up to 2,400W and is capable of surging as high as 3,600W for larger needs. There are 12 output ports to cover your needs, with one even being a TT-30 port for RV connections.

You can regain 80% of its battery in 1.4 hours by plugging it into a standard wall outlet, with it also boasting a 1,000W max solar input that would yield the same amount in 2.5 hours. There’s also the option to connect it to your car’s auxiliary port, as well as the usual array of smart controls available through its companion app.

Aventon Level 2 Commuter e-bike

Aventon’s extended Memorial Day savings take up to $400 off legacy e-bikes starting from $1,399

Aventon has extended its Memorial Day savings for a while longer, taking up to $400 off its legacy e-bikes in order to make room for its massive lineup of new smart e-bikes. Among the ongoing discounts, we wanted to focus on the previous flagship model, the Level 2 Commuter e-bike that is down at $1,599 shipped. This EV carries an $1,899 price tag when not benefitting from price cuts, which we’ve mostly seen being kept down at $1,699 and $1,599 during sales, though we have seen it as low as $1,299 in the past, which was last seen in a Best Buy one-day-sale back in March 2024. Grabbing this model while the savings lasts scores you $300 off the tag, giving you the third-lowest price we have tracked and also matching with its Black Friday and Christmas pricing. Head below for more on this e-bike and its counterparts seeing discounts.

Aventon’s Level series of e-bikes carry the mantle of the brand’s flagship models, with the Level 2 Commuter here having passed that title off to the new smart generation Level 3, but still provides some reliable mobility support through your daily travels. The sleek and streamlined frame arrives equipped with a 500W rear hub motor (peaking at 750W) and pairs with the integrated 14.0Ah battery in order to reach speeds as high as 28 MPH for up to 60 miles of travel on a single charge. The throttle can only get you up to 20 MPH, while activating the five PAS levels provides access to the faster 28 MPH speeds, as well as the 60-mile travel distance – all supported by a torque sensor too.

It comes with other solid features for the price, like the smoother rides you’ll get with the front suspension fork or the added safety when cruising alongside other vehicles, thanks to the taillights offering brake lighting. There’s also the integrated headlight, Shimano 8-speed derailleur, fenders over both tires, and the rear-mounted cargo rack, and the backlit LCD screen for real-time data and setting adjustments.

$14B in EV, renewable projects scrapped as tax credit fears grow

B in EV, renewable projects scrapped as tax credit fears grow

More than $14 billion in US renewable and EV investments and 10,000 new jobs have been scrapped or put on hold since January, according to a new analysis from E2 and the Clean Economy Tracker. The reason: growing fears that the Republican-majority Congress will pull the plug on federal clean energy tax credits.

In April alone, companies backed out of $4.5 billion in battery, EV, and wind projects right before the House passed a sweeping tax and spending bill that would gut the federal tax incentives fueling the clean energy boom. E2 also found another $1.5 billion in previously unreported project cancellations from earlier in the year.

Now, with the Senate preparing to take up the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” E2 says over 10,000 clean energy jobs have already vanished.

“If the tax plan passed by the House last week becomes law, expect to see construction and investments stopping in states across the country as more projects and jobs are cancelled,” said Michael Timberlake, E2’s communications director. “Businesses are now counting on Congress to come to its senses and stop this costly attack on an industry that is essential to meeting America’s growing energy demand and that’s driving unprecedented economic growth in every part of the country.”

Ironically, it’s Republican-led congressional districts – the biggest beneficiaries of the Biden administration’s clean energy tax credits passed in 2022 – that are feeling the most pain. So far, more than $12 billion in investments and over 13,000 jobs have been canceled in GOP districts.

Through April, 61% of all clean energy projects, 72% of jobs, and 82% of investments have been in Republican districts.

Despite the rising number of cancellations, some companies are still forging ahead. In April, businesses announced nearly $500 million in new clean energy investments across six states. That includes a $400 million expansion by Corning in Michigan to make solar wafers, which is expected to create at least 400 jobs, and a $9.3 million investment from a Canadian solar equipment company in North Carolina.

If completed, the seven projects announced last month could create nearly 3,000 permanent jobs.

To date, E2 has tracked 390 major clean energy projects across 42 states and Puerto Rico since the Inflation Reduction Act passed in August 2022. In total, companies plan to invest $132 billion and hire 123,000 permanent workers.

But the report warns that momentum could grind to a halt if the House tax plan becomes law. Since the clean energy tax credits were signed into law, 45 announced projects have been canceled, downsized, or closed entirely, wiping out nearly 20,000 jobs and $16.7 billion in investments.

What’s more, Trump’s Department of Energy announced today that it was killing more than $3.7 billion in funding for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) and decarbonization initiatives. Eighteen out of 24 projects were awarded through DOE’s Industrial Demonstrations Program (IDP), which was made law in the Inflation Reduction Act. It aimed to strengthen the economic competitiveness of US manufacturers in global markets demanding lower carbon emissions, while supporting US manufacturing jobs and communities.

Executive Director Jason Walsh of the BlueGreen Alliance said in a statement in response to today’s DOE announcement:   

The awarded projects that DOE is seeking to kill are concentrated in rural areas and red states. American manufacturers are hungry to partner with the federal government to bolster US industry. The IDP saw $60 billion worth of applications during the program selection process, a ten-times oversubscription. 

President Trump claims to be a champion of American manufacturing, but today’s announcement is further evidence that he and his Secretary of Energy are liars.

Tesla prototype spotted at factory – sparking speculation

Tesla prototype spotted at factory – sparking speculation

A Tesla prototype was spotted at the Fremont factory in California, sparking speculation that it’s the new “cheaper Tesla”, but it looks like a regular Model Y.

A drone operator flew over the Fremont factory this week and spotted a Tesla prototype with light camouflage on the front and back ends.

The vehicle is making a lot of people talk on social media and the media as many think it could be a new “affordable model” coming to Tesla.

Other than the camouflage, the vehicle looks just like a regular Model Y:

It’s likely one of two things: a new “stripped-down Model Y” or a Model Y Performance.

Model Y Performance is the only version that Tesla hasn’t launched since the design changeover earlier this year.

The “stripped-down Model Y” is what will replace Tesla’s upcoming “affordable models.”

We have been reporting on this new vehicle program from Tesla for a while now.

It came to life just over a year ago as a pivot for Tesla after CEO Elon Musk canceled two cheaper vehicles that Tesla was working on, commonly referred as “the $25,000 Tesla”. Those vehicles were codenamed NV91 and NV92, and they were based on the new vehicle platform that Tesla is now reserving for the Cybercab.

Instead, Musk saw that Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y production lines were starting to be underutilized as Tesla faced demand issues. Therefore, Tesla canceled the vehicles program based on the new platform and decided to build new vehicles on Model 3/Y platform using the same production lines.

We previously reported that these electric vehicles will likely look very similar to Model 3 and Model Y.

In recent months, several other media reports reinforced that, and Tesla all but confirmed it during its latest earnings call.

Considering this looks like a regular Model Y, it could be the new cheaper and less feature rich Model Y:

Some people are claiming that this vehicle looks smaller than the Model Y, but it’s difficult to tell as the black camouflage on the ends can confuse the eye.

It looks like a very similar size when it passes near other Tesla vehicles:

Lumina hopes this 32-ton dozer makes them the Tesla of heavy equipment [video]

Lumina hopes this 32-ton dozer makes them the Tesla of heavy equipment [video]

Lumina Electric Dozer Prototype Officially Revealed

San Francisco-based founder Ahmed Shubber wants to emulate Elon Musk’s success in the electric construction equipment world – and he hopes his new, 32-ton electric bulldozer is enough to make the world sit up and take notice.

Since launching his company, Lumina, in 2021, Shubber has raised more than $8 million and grown the company’s global (!?) headcount to 26 people. That fruit of that team’s labor is the machine seen here. Dubbed “Moonlander,” the first-of-its-kind prototype occupies the physical footprint of something like a Caterpillar D6, but packs the blade and performance of the larger, more powerful Cat D9.

“A D6 could not push that blade,” David Wright, Lumina’s head of UK operations, told the assembled media at the Moonlander’s launch last week. “We can have that blade full of material, full dozing seven to nine cubic meters of material, for eight to 10 hours.”

Moving all that mass takes a lot of power – but getting that power back into the Moonlander’s batteries won’t take a lot of time, thanks to the machine’s 300 kW charging capability.

“Even if you spend all morning heavy dozing and you’re a bit worried about how much juice you’ve used — well, your operators are going to take a union-mandated lunch break, right?” asks Wright. “Plug it in, and in 30 minutes, you’ve put 50% of power back in again.”

Shubber says Lumina is working to raise from $20-40 million for its Series A round to develop the company’s next electric equipment asset: a 100-ton electric excavator called Blade Runner. And, in a truly Tesla-like fashion, Shubber says he’s on track to hit an ambitious $100 million revenue target sometime in the next 24 months.

And, of course, the Blade Runner will feature state-of-the-art autonomous operating technology (because: of course it will).

We’ll see how that unfolds in 2 year’s time, I guess. In the meantime, check out this Lumina promo video for Moonlander, below, then let us know what you think of Shuber’s take on an electric job site in the comments.
