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 power stations

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.

Greenworks 13A 14-inch dethatcher/scarifier

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:

Aiper HydroComm Smart Pool Monitor

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.

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.

Lucid’s Gravity SUV just smoked the Corvette Z06 to 150 mph

Lucid's Gravity SUV just smoked the Corvette Z06 to 150 mph

Lucid's-SUV-Corvette-Z06

Lucid’s electric minivan can outsprint the Chevy Corvette Z06, and it has more interior space than a Ford Explorer. Is the Lucid Gravity really the “ultimate uncompromising SUV?”

Lucid Gravity SUV is faster than a Corvette Z06

Lucid’s electric SUV is impressive inside and out. The Gravity provides up to 450 miles of driving range, ultra-fast charging (200 miles in under 11 mins), and it even offers up to 120 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s more than the Ford Explorer (87.8 cu ft).

It’s also faster than most sports cars. The Grand Touring trim has up to 845 hp, good for a 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 3.4 seconds, but the Dream Edition takes it to another level.

Powered by dual electric motors, the Lucid Gravity Dream Edition boasts 1,070 hp. To see how Lucid’s minivan stacks up against the competition, Car and Driver nabbed one for testing.

On the test track, the Lucid’s minivan covered a quarter-mile in just 10.6 secs, beating a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 to 150 mph by nearly three seconds.

According to Car and Driver, the Gravity didn’t just impress in the quarter-mile, “it was a beast in every acceleration metric.” Lucid’s SUV hit 30 mph in 1.4 seconds, 70 mph in 3.7 secs, and topped 100 mph in just 5.9 seconds.

Dave Vanderwerp, the testing director who took the Gravity for a spin, said the electric SUV “gets a sort of second wave of thrust starting around 60 mph.”

With a quarter-mile of just 10.6 secs, Lucid’s Gravity is the fastest SUV they have ever tested, beating out the Rivian Tri-Motor Max (11.1 secs), BMW iX M60 (11.5 secs), and Mercedes-AMG EQE53 SUV.

Although the Rivian’s 850 hp R1S Tri-Motor beat the Gravity to 60 mph, Lucid’s SUV sprinted ahead in the quarter-mile, traveling nearly 20 mph faster.

It was also faster than gas-powered super SUVs, including the Lamborghini Urus Performante (11.2 secs) and Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT (11.2 secs). However, they have yet to test a Tesla Model X Plaid, so that could change the game.

In what it called the “1,000 hp mom missiles” drag race, Hagerty recently pitted the Gravity Dream Edition against the Audi RS Q8 Performance, Range Rover Sport SV, Porsche Macan Turbo Electric, Rivian R1S Quad, and Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.

The result was a three-way tie between Lucid’s Gravity, the Porsche Panamera Turbo, and Rivian R1S Quad hitting the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds.

The Lucid Gravity is available to order starting at $94,900 in the US. Later this year, Lucid is launching the lower-priced Touring trim, priced from $79,900.

EIA: Solar outproduced wind for the first time ever in May

EIA: Solar outproduced wind for the first time ever in May

Solar provided over 11% of total US electrical generation in May, while wind + solar produced over one-fifth, and the mix of all renewable energy sources generated nearly 30%, according to data just released by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Solar continues to set new records

Solar continues to be the fastest-growing source of US electricity, according to EIA’s latest “Electric Power Monthly” report (with data through May 31, 2025), which the SUN DAY Campaign reviewed.

In May alone, electrical generation by utility-scale solar (>1-megawatt (MW)) increased by 33.3% year-over-year, while “estimated” small-scale (e.g., rooftop) solar PV increased by 8.9%. Combined, they grew by 26.4% and provided over 11% of US electrical output during the month.

For the first time ever, the mix of utility-scale and small-scale solar produced more electricity than wind: solar – 38,965 gigawatt-hours (GWh); wind – 36,907-GWh.

Moreover, utility-scale solar thermal and photovoltaic expanded by 39.8% while that from small-scale systems rose by 10.7% during the first five months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The combination of utility-scale and small-scale solar increased by 31.1% and was nearly 8.4% of total US electrical generation for January to May – up from 6.6% a year earlier.

Solar-generated electricity easily surpassed the output of US hydropower plants (6.1%). Solar now produces more electricity than hydropower, biomass, and geothermal combined.

Wind is also on the rise in 2025

Wind produced 12.2% of US electricity in the first five months of 2025. Its output was 3.9% greater than the year before, almost double that produced by hydropower.

During the first five months of 2025, electrical generation by wind + utility-scale and small-scale solar provided 20.5% of the US total, up from 18.7% during the first five months of 2024. Solar + wind accounted for nearly 21.5% of US electrical output in May alone.

During the first five months of this year, wind and solar provided 26.2% more electricity than coal, and 15.4% more than US nuclear power plants. In May alone, the disparity increased further when solar + wind outproduced coal and nuclear power by 55.7% and 22.1%, respectively.

All renewables produced almost 30% in May

The mix of all renewables – wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, geothermal – produced 9.7% more electricity in January to May than they did a year ago (7.6% more in May alone) and provided 28.1% of total US electricity production compared to 26.5% 12 months earlier.

Electrical generation by all renewables in May alone provided 29.7% of total US electrical generation. Renewables’ share of electrical generation is now second only to that of natural gas, whose electrical output actually dropped by 5.9% during the month.  

“Solar and wind continue to grow, set new records, and outproduce both coal and nuclear power,” said Ken Bossong, the SUN DAY Campaign’s executive director. “Consequently, the ongoing Republican assault against renewables is not only misguided and illogical but also a good example of shooting oneself in the foot.”
