Two exclusive Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L dual-zone electric cooler bundles save you up to $600 at new lows from $749
We’ve secured two lower-than-ever exclusive electric cooler price cuts from Wellbots, with the first being Anker’s new SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Dual-Zone Electric Cooler with a free Road-Trip Kit for $749 shipped, after using the exclusive code 9TO5COOL100 at checkout. Normally priced at $1,100 here and $1,150 directly from Anker, we saw this same bundle offer from Wellbots back in February ahead of the cooler’s release in March, where the discount took things to $809. Now, with the exclusive savings today, you’re looking at an even greater $351 markdown that lands it at a new all-time low price. On top of this, you’re also getting the $50 Road-Trip Kit free, giving you a cup, a knife, and fishing rod holders that can attach to various points on the cooler. Head below to learn more about the cooler and also about the additional exclusive bundle that gives you more battery power alongside solar capabilities.
The largest of Anker’s new line of electric coolers, the 58L SOLIX EverFrost 2 is the sole model sporting the dual-zone compartments that allow for simultaneous refrigeration and freezing. Upgraded from the first generation’s direct cooling to an air-cooling system, it’s able to drop to your desired temperatures (-4 to 68 degrees) even faster. The first of these deals gives you the standard package that comes with one 288Wh removable battery, while there is a port for a second one that extends its capabilities, which the brand claims to deliver up to 104 hours of continuous runtime in its Eco Mode (bundle below).

These batteries can also serve a secondary purpose as power banks when the coolers aren’t in use, with your devices getting topped off by either the 60W USB-C or 12W USB-A ports, which also act as one of the battery’s recharging options too. There are three other ways to refill the battery: plugging it into a wall outlet, using the included cables to plug into your car’s auxiliary port, or you can connect up to 100W of solar input. Built for your outdoor adventures, the cooler has an IPX3 water-resistance build, 6-inch wheels for semi-rough terrain, and integrated bottle opener, a fold-down tray that also acts as its pull-along handle – plus, the Road-Trip Kit accessories.
As previously mentioned, we have a secondary exclusive deal on this cooler that is also dropping things to a new all-time low, with the Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Electric Cooler getting a second battery and a 100W solar panel for $999 shipped, down from $1,599, after using the exclusive code 9TO5COOL100 at checkout. With this bundle, you’ll get the maximum performance capabilities thanks to the two batteries here alongside utilizing the sun to recharge them, which is especially handy if you’re headed off or far from any grid to plug into.
Jackery’s 72-hour flash sale drops new HomePower 3000 solar bundle with two 200W panels to new $1,994 low ($1,005 off)
For World Environment Day, Jackery is having a flash sale through June 5 that is taking up to 50% off a collection of power stations, with the first post-launch savings hitting the new HomePower 3000 solar bundle with two 200W panels for $1,994.05 shipped, after using the promo code EXTRA5 at checkout for an additional 5% off. This new model (and the subsequent bundle) just recently hit the market last month and normally carries a $2,999 price tag outside of sales. We saw this same bundle offered with early-bird savings at $1,999, which is getting beaten out here today thanks to the additional savings code. All-in-all, you’re looking at a 34% markdown off the going rate that saves you $1,005 on the latest backup power tech at the best price we have so far seen.
Among the collection of newer v2 power stations, the HomePower 3000 is the upgraded second-generation variant to the Explorer 3000, now sporting LiFePO4 battery cells with an increased 3,072Wh capacity. It comes with the latest battery management system and ChargeShield 2.0 protections we’ve seen from the v2 series, with a steady output of up to 3,600W, which can surge higher to 7,200W for hungrier appliances, especially when you find yourself having suddenly lost power at home. It provides the same versatile array of output ports to cover your needs, with four AC outlets, a TT-30R port, two 100W USB-Cs, two USB-As, two DCs, and a car port.
It has five different ways to refill the battery, with a wall outlet putting it back to full in around 2.2 hours, on average. There’s also the options for AC/DC dual charging in 1.7 hours, as well as ports to top it off with a gas generator or from your car’s auxiliary port. Lastly, it can take up to 1,000W of solar input, with the included 400W in this bundle recharging the unit from empty in around 11 hours with sunny conditions. On top of all this, it also runs much quieter in the dedicated mode at 30dB, which won’t disturb your sleep should you be recharging it nearby.
There’s plenty of other power station and solar generator bundle deals worth checking out during Jackery’s flash sale event, which you can browse in full in our original coverage here.
Warm-season grasses are ripe for healthy repair with Greenworks’ 13A 14-inch corded detatcher/scarifier at $128
Amazon is offering the Greenworks 13A 14-Inch Corded Dethatcher/Scarifier for $127.97 shipped. Coming down off its $160 tag, we’ve mostly seen discounts going their lowest to $128 in 2025, with that same rate returning here thanks to the 20% markdown. We have seen it go as low as $106 in the past, but you’re otherwise looking at one of its lowest tracked prices in the last year, giving you $32 off the going rate.
If you have a warm-season grass type in your yard (Bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass, and St. Augustinegrass, for example), early summer is a ripe time to pick up this Greenworks dethatcher/scarifier to repair damages and get it back to healthy condition. You won’t need to plan out charging any batteries here, as the corded design allows you to simply plug it in and go. There are two included attachments that can be switched out, depending on what kind of job you are about to tackle, helping you to remove surface thatch while also digging deeper to clear out further thatch and aerate the soil for growth. It’s an easy model to maneuver as it weighs in at just 29 pounds, and also comes with three depth adjustment levels to fit your preference.
We’ve got a few other Greenworks deals on other lawn care and outdoor cleaning solutions worth checking out while the savings last:
Trade testing kits for Aiper’s solar-charging HydroComm 5-in-1 smart pool monitor at $400
Aiper’s official Amazon storefront is offering summertime savings on its new HydroComm Solar Smart Pool Monitor for $399.99 shipped. It hit the market back at the top of April, carrying a $500 price tag and is now 20% off. While we have seen it go for less than today’s deal previously, with summertime swim season ready to kick off, we wanted to make sure today’s $100 price drop was on your radar.
You can toss out those old-fashioned testing kits once you’ve picked up Aiper’s new HydroComm monitor, which sports an advanced detection head that provides 5-in-1 testing for your pool’s pH, ORP, EC, TDS, and temperature. What’s really great here is the built-in solar panel that allows for continuous 24/7 runtimes, guaranteeing you’ll always have any information you need, exactly when you need it. And don’t worry about those days when the sun hides away in the clouds, as you’ll be able to plug in to its DC port to keep it juiced up and going.
Another handy device that can equally serve you this summer is Aiper’s Surfer S2 Solar Pool Skimmer that is down at its second-lowest rate of $339.98 shipped from its more recent $400 pricing. A second-generation model, there’s tons of great upgraded features packed in here, like the DebrisGuard anti-leak design, an improved brushless motor, expanded suction inlet, and a 150-micron filtration system. It has a solar panel mounted on its top side, which recharges the battery that delivers up to 35 hours of runtime, alongside a DC port for cloudy days. There are dual dToF sensors for obstacle avoidance here, alongside four retactable anti-standing columns to prevent it getting stuck on steps and elsewhere. It also comes with a full array of smart controls, letting you monitor and adjust settings, as well as manually steering it.

The sun has set on a frantic day of scrutineering at this year’s Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix (FSGP), as teams scramble to qualify for a spot on the starting line tomorrow morning. Electrek FSGP 2025 is shaping up to be one of the event’s most attended ever, thanks to a strong showing of first-time and returning schools. But that also means new and unproven vehicles on the track.
Today, I walked through a couple of bays and talked with a few of the teams able to spare a minute; almost all of them were debuting completely new cars that were years in the making. Building a solar car is no easy feat. It’s not just the engineering and technical know-how that’s often a hurdle for them; it’s more often monetary. However, one of the things that makes this event so special is the camaraderie and collaboration that happen behind the scenes.
Northwestern University is back with a completely new car this season, its eighth since the team’s original inception in 1997 during the GM Sunrayce days. Its motor controller, which is responsible for managing the flow of power from the batteries to the motor, was given to them by the Stanford team. Stanford had extras and could spare one for Northwestern, which needed a replacement. It doesn’t stop there. Two members of the Northwestern team (Shannon and Fiona) told me four other teams helped them with a serious tire replacement around 1 a.m. Wednesday morning, saving them from missing important parts of scrutineering.
This is also an exciting year for the West Virginia team, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary as a solar car team, making them one of the oldest teams on the track. With age comes wisdom though: WV is competing again this year with its single-occupant vehicle, Sunseeker. The team ran into issues after last year’s American Solar Challenge (ASC) cross-country event when the vehicle’s control arm, an important part of the suspension that connects the wheels to the chassis, broke. They tell me this year they’re back with a completely redesigned control arm made of both aluminum and steel. Thank you, Hayley, John, and Izzy, for taking the time to talk.

We’re also seeing new builds this year from the University of Florida, the University of Puerto Rico, NC State, and UC Irvine. Believe it or not, the latter team has never competed in an American Solar Challenge/Formula Sun Grand Prix. This is their first year. UC Irvine doesn’t expect to be on the starting line tomorrow but hopes to be on the track soon after.
University of Puerto RicoUniversity of California Irvine
On the other hand, we have tried-and-proven cars like my personal favorite, Polytechnique Montréal’s Esteban, which undergoes minor improvements each year. I talked a little bit with this team today, and they told me the car’s motor was dropped, disassembled, and cleaned in preparation for the event. Polytechnique Montréal has passed scrutineering and will appear on the starting line tomorrow.

Teams that haven’t wrapped up scrutineering in the last three days can still complete it, though doing so will eat into time on track.
You can learn more about the different classes and the specific rules here.
I’ll continue to post more updates as the event continues!
2025 Electrek FSGP schedule
The 2025 Electrek FSGP will again be held at the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky, which, interestingly enough, General Motors occasionally uses for Corvette testing and development. A bit of a full-circle moment being so close to the company that started it all.
The event is open to the public and FREE to attend. Come see the solar car race up close!
Racing starts on July 3 from 10am to 6pm CT and continues through July 5 from 9am to 5pm CT.

Tesla’s Q2 results are in, and they are way, way down from Q2 of 2024. At the same time, Nissan seems to be in serious trouble and the first-ever all-electric Dodge muscle car is getting recalled because its dumb engine noises are the wrong kind of dumb engine noises. All this and more on today’s deeply troubled episode of Quick Charge!
We’ve also got an awesome article from Micah Toll about a hitherto unexplored genre of electric lawn equipment, a $440 million mining equipment deal, and a list of incompetent, corrupt, and stupid politicians who voted away their constituents’ futures to line their pockets.
New episodes of Quick Charge are recorded, usually, Monday through Thursday (and sometimes Sunday). We’ll be posting bonus audio content from time to time as well, so be sure to follow and subscribe so you don’t miss a minute of Electrek’s high-voltage daily news.

“These ‘OpenAI tokens’ are not OpenAI equity,” OpenAI wrote on X. “We did not partner with Robinhood, were not involved in this, and do not endorse it.”
The company said that “any transfer of OpenAI equity requires our approval — we did not approve any transfer,” and warned users to “please be careful.”
Robinhood announced the launch Monday from Cannes, France, as part of a broader product showcase focused on tokenized equities, staking, and a new blockchain infrastructure play. The company’s stock surged above $100 to hit a new all-time high following the news.
“These tokens give retail investors indirect exposure to private markets, opening up access, and are enabled by Robinhood’s ownership stake in a special purpose vehicle,” a Robinhood spokesperson said in response to the OpenAI post.

Robinhood offered 5 euros worth of OpenAI and SpaceX tokens to eligible EU users who signed up to trade stock tokens by July 7. The assets are issued under the EU’s looser investor restrictions via Robinhood’s crypto platform.
“This is about expanding access,” said Johann Kerbrat, Robinhood’s SVP and GM of crypto. “The goal with tokenization is to let anyone participate in this economy.”
The episode highlights the dynamic between crypto platforms seeking to democratize access to financial products and the companies whose names and equity are being represented on-chain
U.S. users cannot access these tokens due to regulatory restrictions.
