Bluetti has some member-only deals running through the weekend, like the AC200L Solar Generator bundle with two 200W panels for $1,649. We also spotted EGO’s advanced 56V 22-inch Cordless Electric Self-Propelled Lawn Mower that comes with select cut and touch drive tech and a 10.0Ah battery for $999, as well as Greenworks 80V 770 CFM Cordless Electric Leaf Blower with a 4.0Ah battery at $220. Plus, there’s all the rest of the hangover Green Deals in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s EcoFlow EcoCredits May Madness event that ends tonight, Hiboy’s Father’s Day EV sale, and more.

Heybike’s carbon-fiber Hero all-terrain rear and mid-drive e-bikes get up to $600 price cuts to new lows from $2,199

As part of its ongoing anniversary celebration, Heybike is offering the biggest price cuts yet on its Hero Carbon Fiber All-Terrain e-bikes, with the 1,000W rear-hub model dropping to $2,199 shipped, while the 750W mid-drive model is down at $2,499 shipped. They’ve been given initial $300 and $500 discounts from their usual $2,599 and $3,099 price tags, with the brand automatically applying an additional $100 savings in your cart – plus, you’ll be getting a free gift pack too for some extra goodies. We’ve mostly seen these models getting $100 discounts during major sales, even during Black Friday, and very few flash offers at $200 off. It’s quite a surprise to now see them benefitting from $400/$600 markdowns, which take things lower than ever to land at new all-time low prices.

Heybike’s Hero models are the brand’s higher-end all-terrain e-bikes with carbon fiber frames, which start with a choice, depending on just what kind of environments you tend to travel through. The cheaper option is the 1,000W rear-hub model (peaks at 1,800W) that dishes out more power to tackle climbing hills and carrying heavier loads, while the 750W mid-drive model (peaks at 1,400W) moves the motor in the center of the frame for more balanced weight, as well as sporting a torque sensor over the other’s cadence sensor, providing smoother power transition and handling steep inclines. They both sport a removable 864Wh battery and hit speeds up to 35 MPH alongside up to 60 miles of travel distance with PAS activated.

Of course, for the higher prices, you’re also getting some higher-end features with Heybike’s Hero e-bikes, like the full suspension made up of a hydraulic front fork absorption and rear suspension. There are also the hydraulic disc brakes, the puncture-protected 4-inch fat tires, a 9-speed Shimano derailleur, a shock-absorbing saddle – plus, an integrated handlebar with a built-in headlight and LCD screen for setting adjustments and performance readouts, and more.

Be sure to check out the full lineup of e-bike deals while Heybike’s 4th anniversary savings last through June 6, including the cheaper off-roading models. You’ll also find many ongoing Memorial Day EV sales from our favorite brands collected together in our holiday EV hub here, with some, like Lectric’s $742 in savings, ending tomorrow night, May 31. We also have an update on Navee’s new flagship ST3 Pro Electric Scooter that has fallen even further in price (along with other Father’s Day EV offers) to $760.

Bluetti AC200L power station

Bluetti’s AC200L solar generator with two 200W panels covers camping, RVing, and more at $1,649 (Save $850)

With its Memorial Day Sale having come to a close, Bluetti is offering short-term member-only discounts (sign-up is free) on three units, as well as some additional price cuts open to anyone. Among the bunch, we spotted the AC200L Solar Generator bundle with two 200W panels for $1,649 shipped. Normally $2,499 at full price, we’ve only seen it go as low as $1,699 from the brand’s direct sales events, while the official Amazon storefront has offered it for as low as $1,598, which has most recently been appearing as supply-limited Lightning deals. After you’ve signed up for free, you can grab this station with a $850 markdown that drops the costs to the second-lowest price we have tracked, with the price also currently matching at Amazon, though you won’t get to earn points from purchases to redeem for benefits.

***A quick note: as I’ve stated, sign-up for membership is free, with multiple tiers that are achieved through purchases and unlock greater benefits as you move up. Things start at the base Starter level, moving to the Explorer level after spending $10 to $4,999. From there, you’ll reach the Pro level after spending $5,000 to $14,999, the Elite level after spending $15,000 to $29,000, and the Master level after spending $30,000 or more.

One of the brand’s higher-end models that covers campsite visits, RV trips, home backup emergencies, and more, the Bluetti AC200L power station is a well-rounded solution that starts with a 2,048Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that can be further expanded with additional gear. You can bump its capacity to 4,096Wh with a B230 expansion battery, 6,348Wh with two B210 batteries, or max things out at 8,192Wh with two B300 batteries. It provides a steady stream of up to 2,400W to devices and appliances (surging up to 3,600W) through its 11 output ports: four ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, one car port, one RV port, and a NEMA TT-30 port.

By plugging it into a standard wall outlet, you can regain 80% of the battery in as fast as 45 minutes, while the unit can max out at 1,200W of solar input, which would put it back at full in 1.7 to 2.2 hours, with the 400W input in the bundle taking three times as long. And, as always, you’ll have the full array of smart controls through your tablet or smartphone via the companion app.

EGO 56V 22-inch cordless self-propelled lawn mower

This 22-inch EGO cordless self-propelled mower comes with a 10.0Ah battery + select cut/touch drive tech at $999

Amazon is now offering the EGO POWER+ 56V 22-inch Cordless Electric Self-Propelled Lawn Mower that comes with upgraded tech and a 10.0Ah battery at $999 shipped. Since it was released last year, we’ve almost exclusively seen it keep between $1,199 and $1,299 at Amazon all the way through most of March 2025, with some short-term falls to its $839 low peppered in over a year ago, which we haven’t seen again since. Recently, it’s been returning to $1,000 with discounts, with today’s deal taking things lower by $1, giving you $301 in savings at the second-best price we have tracked, all while giving you one of the brand’s more advanced mowing solutions.

If you want one of the best mowing options from EGO, without shelling out the money for the brand’s popular riding mowers, this 22-inch model takes quite a step up from many of its counterparts. To start, it has a cast aluminum deck over the more standard plastic ones we usually see, lending towards a much more durable build, as well as eight cutting height levels over the usual seven. It delivers up to 11.1 foot-pounds of cutting torque, with blade speeds going as high as 3,350 RPM, which outdoes plenty of gas guzzlers. The included 10.0Ah battery provides you with 70 minutes of continuous runtime on a single 60-minute charge, which you can swap out with any other batteries from the brand for extended jobs.

And its self-propulsion takes a step up with the touch drive tech here, which allows you to engage the function by simply placing your palms on the handle, complete with a convenient dial that you can scroll through for speed changes. What’s more, it comes boasting the brand’s select cut system, which allows for more customization with interchangeable lower mulching blades and a high-lift bagging blade, depending on just how much you’re tackling. The handles also conveniently fold to save you space when its not in use.

Of course, you can save a bit more by going with this more standard EGO 56V 21-Inch Cordless Push Lawn Mower that comes with a 4.0Ah battery for a new low of $357.30 shipped. You won’t have the self-propulsion here, though the lightweight body is easy to maneuver around your yard, but you will get the same folding design to help save space. It offers a cutting height range between 1.25 inches and 4 inches and delivers up to 6.0 foot-pounds of cutting torque.

greenworks 80V 770 CFM cordless leaf blower

Clear our yards and more with 770 CFM from this 80V Greenworks cordless electric leaf blower kit at $220

Amazon is currently offering the Greenworks 80V 770 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower with 4.0Ah battery for $219.99 shipped. Normally going for $300 at full price, aside from today’s deal and the $210 low we only saw pop up for Black Friday, discounts have been taking the cost down to $240 at most, which is where it’s currently priced on Greenworks’ direct site. With the deal here, you’ll be saving $80 off the going rate at the best post-Black Friday pricing we have tracked.

Weighing in at just under 11 pounds, this is a lightweight means to clear out your yards, walkways, driveways, and more – all while tossing out that noisy, fume-belching gas model. The brushless motor lends towards greater torque, efficiency, and especially quieter performance so you won’t drive your neighbors crazy at earlier or later hours in the day, with a trigger-activated variable speed control (and cruise control settings) allowing up to 770 CFM of force (180 MPH wind speeds) for clearing away unwanted debris. The battery provides you with 80 minutes of continuous runtime, and it sports the brand’s standard push-button starts so you don’t have to deal with pull strings.

You can also upgrade to Greenworks’ 40V 21-inch Cordless Electric Self-Propelled Lawn Mower that comes with a 5.0Ah battery while its down at a $360 low, covering up to 1/3 acre on a single charge. There’s a collection of the brand’s new and legacy electric pressure washers down at return lows starting from $82, as well as a collection of 40V, 80V, and 82V batteries getting up to 33% discounts starting from $80.

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.

Opel Frontera GRAVEL concept previews next Jeep Renegade electric 4×4

Opel Frontera GRAVEL concept previews next Jeep Renegade electric 4x4

European Off-Road Cues Could Shape Jeep's Next Subcompact SUV

Hot on the heels of the Fiat 4×4 Grande Panda Manifesto comes another subcompact Stellantis compact with electric drive and off-road ambitions. Meet the Opel Frontera GRAVEL – which might be our best look yet at the next-generation electric Jeep Renegade coming in 2027.

Based on a lifted Frontera EV and riding on a set of bespoke, 7×16″ Borbet CWE wheels wrapped in aggressive AT tires, Opel says its all-electric Frontera GRAVEL’s emissions-free driving makes it ideally suited for “soft-roading” nature drives (their words, not mine), with a rugged, adventurous 4×4 appearance.

Those rugged, Jeep-like good looks are backed up enhanced by the usual overland accessories, including a front-mounted winch, side storage boxes at the rear, and a lattice-style roof rack. A slew of accessory lights mounted on the Thule Canyon XT carrier and hood, as well, for excellent nighttime visibility off-road and (presumably) retina-searing intensity on-road.

“The new Opel Frontera is already standout,” says Rebecca Reinermann, Vice President of Marketing for Stellantis’ Opel and Vauxhall brands. “It is rugged, practical, and perfect for families and everyday adventures. But with the Frontera GRAVEL show car, we’ve pushed the limits, imagining a tougher, more daring, trailblazing version. This concept is built to fire up our fanbase and test the demand for a bolder, more rugged Frontera in the future. It’s all about freedom, adventure, excitement and pushing boundaries.”

Like the recent Fiat concept mentioned at the top of this post, the production Frontera EV is based on Stellantis’ “Smart Car” BEV-native platform, and features a 113 hp electric motor and more than 300 km of WLTP range (about 185 miles) standard, with the “long range” version able of traveling up to 400 km (about 250 miles) between charges.

Either version comes with the “Pure Panel” digital cockpit featuring dual 10″ displays. For a few dollars quid more, the GS trim adds automatic climate control and Intelli-Seat front seats. And, if Mopar Insider has any idea what’s up, it might actually make for a decent little Jeep Renegade replacement (below).

The Opel Frontera first came to our attention last October, when it became the first new EV from Stellantis to be offered with both ICE and battery power, for the same price – making EV price parity an objectively real thing.

Jeep parent company Stellantis has already confirmed that a new Jeep Renegade that’s priced below the upcoming Jeep Compass EV would be coming to the US as a 2027 model, and it’s expected to share its mechanicals with both the Frontera and Fiat’s recently teased Grande Panda Manifesto. If that does anything for you, let us know in the comments.

First-ever production electric Honda motorcycle is here – and it’s a cafe racer!

First-ever production electric Honda motorcycle is here – and it's a cafe racer!

Why Honda’s New Electric Motorcycle Is Unmissable

Year after year, a seemingly endless raft of all-electric concept bikes wearing Honda badges have made their way across the motor show stage without ever making it onto the dealer showroom. But now, it’s here: this unmissable, cafe racer-inspired electric Honda motorcycle is the company’s first – and you can buy it!

We got our first look at this first-ever production electric motorcycle from Honda back in March, when leaked type-approval documents hinted at a 75 mph 125 cc-class motorcycle with cafe racer styling and a “WH8000D” designation first surfaced. It was clear, then, that Honda was seriously working on a for-real electric motorcycle – what wasn’t clear was when (or even if) it would ever see productions.

The wait is over

Honda E-VO 75 mph electric motorcycle; via Honda.

The new Honda E-VO is available in dual- or triple-battery versions that feature either 4.1 or 6.2 kWh of battery capacity. On the triple-pack version, riders can enjoy up to 170 km WMTC (about 105 miles) of riding. Recharging takes about 2.5 hours on a standard outlet or about 90 minutes on an L2 (like the Harley-Davidson backed Livewire or Vespa Elettrica electric bikes, DC fast charging is not available).

Both battery configurations drive a motor with a peak power of 15.3 kW, or about 20 hp. And, like all electric motors, all the torque is available at 0 rpm, giving the Honda E-VO in-town performance similar to much higher (than 125 cc) displacement bikes.

In addition to superior stop-and-go performance, the Honda E-VO offers riders a number of other innovative (for a motorcycle) features, including a 7-inch TFT instrument display paired with a second 7-inch TFT screen for navigation, music, tire pressure, and battery SOC information. The smaller battery pack version of the E-VO includes a front dash cam, while the larger model has both a front and rear dash cam as standard equipment.

The Honda E-VO is available in the black and off-white color schemes (shown). Prices start at 29,999 yuan, or about $4500 for the 4.1 kWh version, and 36,999 yuan (about $5100) for the 6.2 kWh triple-pack version.

Electrek’s Take

Yes, this is a Chinese-market bike built by Honda’s Chinese Wuyang venture. No, we probably won’t ever get something like this in the US, where a raucous, 113 hp 600 cc CBR600RR is somehow positioned as a “good starter bike” by cowards with 3″ wide chicken strips on their tires. That said, if the motorcycle industry as-a-whole wants to survive in North America, zippy, affordable, lightweight motorcycles are exactly what’s needed.

Here’s hoping we get something like this stateside rather sooner than later.

What $100,000 gets you in China: Rolls looks, Maybach luxe, Huawei tech – and 850 hp

What 0,000 gets you in China: Rolls looks, Maybach luxe, Huawei tech – and 850 hp

Maextro S800 launched as Maybach challenger, starting at 97,500 USD in China

Westerners in-the-know look longingly at the affordable, value-packed electric cars rolling out of China – but what could you get if money was no object? If you were to spend 100,000 US American dollars on a Chinese EV, how good could these Chinese cars really get? Huawei’s 852 hp Maextro S800 is the answer.

Packing up to 852 hp and a cutting-edge technology stack developed by Huawei, Chinese luxury brand Maextro revealed its latest entry into the Mercedes-Maybach EQS and Rolls-Royce Spectre segment of ultra-luxe EVs, the S800, back in February. Now, it’s officially on sale, priced at 708,000 and 1,018,000 yuan (approx $97,500-140,000), and ready to make an entrance.

As I wrote at the car’s launch, the Maextro S800’s bespoke, purpose-built platform doesn’t share any parts with a lesser offering in the Huawei lineup in the same way a Mercedes or BMW or Volkswagen does with a Maybach, Rolls-Royce, or Bentley, respectively. And, while I admit that that may not mean much to you and me, I maintain that it might to the people shopping six- and seven-figure cars. And that might be especially true to people willing to shell out that kind of cash for a car in China’s generally lower-priced market.

That seems to be the kind of upmarket experience people of the People’s Republic want, if the S800’s two thousand initial orders (in just two days) are and indication. And, lucky for those buyers, the Maextro is set to deliver plenty in return.

The vibe is immaculate

Those well-heeled buyers will get a choice of EREV or “pure” battery electric powertrains good for between 480 and 852 all-electric horsepower. 32 ADAS sensors including both radar and lidar compliment a suite of cameras analyze the road ahead and feed data to Huawei’s ADS road perception system, which is constantly adjusting torque distribution, suspension compression and rebound, and front and rear steering to deliver a tech-driven chauffeur experience that Huawei insists is second to none.

Huawei says its robotic driver is pretty handy when the weather gets nasty, too, thanks to an advanced sensor array that helps to increase the detection distance in rain, fog, and dust by 60% compared to the benchmarked competition.

While the car is its passengers around, they’ll get to enjoy luxurious, reclining rear seats with next-level mood lighting handled by a fully independent rear passenger system that supports intelligent track lighting, gesture dimming, and a panoramic “starry sky” moonroof that includes meteor shower effects.

The Maextro S800 also offers intelligent privacy glass and a unique door-closing function are also controlled with advanced gesture controls, in case you needed reminding that China is living in the year 3000 while the US is being plunged headlong into the 1940s by a pack of pseudo-conservatives too old to realize their gold standard policies will do nothing but hurt a fiat economy that’s consistently proved out the basic hypotheses behind modern monetary theory over the last five or six decades – but that’s a lot for an EV blog.

Instead of that, let’s ooh and ahh over the Maextro S800’s ultra-luxe interior in the photo gallery, below, then keep the debate to the relative merits of one of these over, say, a Mercedes-Benz EQS in the comments.
