NIU’s latest KQi 200F electric scooter with regen brakes lending to a 34-mile travel range drops to new $629 low

Through its official Amazon storefront, NIU is offering the best savings yet on its new KQi 200F Electric Scooter that is down at $629 shipped through June 15, with the price also matching directly from the brand’s website. This model was released back in April with a $799 price tag and a launch discount to $699, not seeing other savings until mid-May when it fell to $649. Today, the savings are all the better as the $170 markdown here beats out the previous deal by $20, landing it down at a new all-time low price.

For the performance, NIU’s new KQi 200F electric scooter is an affordable commuter that lets you go much further outside your immediate neighborhood, all while providing some solid features to heighten your riding experience. The 365Wh battery powers the 350W motor (which peaks to 700W), pushing it up to a top 20 MPH speed, tackling up to 20% inclines, and carrying you for up to 33.6 miles on one full charge. There are four riding modes here (e-save, sport, custom, and pedestrian), each providing variations to its speed and mileage, with it protected against splashes, light rain, and low-pressure water from any direction thanks to the IPX5-rated construction.

As I mentioned, there are some noteworthy features for the price on NIU’s KQi 200F electric scooter, like the dual braking system, which is comprised of a 75mm integrated drum brake at the front wheel and a regenerative brake in the rear, recycling kinetic energy when you slow and/or brake in order to extend riding times. There’s also the 14-protection BMS system, the dual-tube front suspension system, 10-inch tubeless pneumatic tires, a Halo headlight, an integrated taillight with brake lighting, swappable griptape on its deck, a mechanical bell, an LED screen for controls, a 265-pound riding payload, and wider handlebars that boast turn signals and folding capabilities (along with its usual folding design).

NIU currently has a Father’s Day Sale running with up to 23% discounts on its KQi series of e-scooters, which you can browse in full on the landing page here.

Bluetti AC300 power station

Power through trips and emergencies with Bluetti’s AC300 expanded 350W solar generator bundle at new $1,799 low ($1,200 off)

Looking back in on Bluetti’s Father’s Day Sale that is running through June 22 with up to 55% discounts on power stations, we spotted the brand’s AC300 Solar Generator bundle with B300K expansion battery and 350W panel down at $1,799 shipped. This combination of units would normally run you $2,999 at full price, which has mainly been seen at $1,999 during sales, with a few falls to the $1,899 low peppered in, most recently during Mother’s Day and Memorial Day sales last month. Today though, the price is going even lower, totaling up to a 37% markdown that cuts $1,200 off the tag to land at the best price we have tracked to date. It’s even beating out its Amazon pricing where it sits $100 higher. Head below to learn more and check out the brand’s other home backup deals.

One of Bluetti’s main modular power options that can be used for trips away from home while also providing backup support during emergencies, this AC300 bundle starts you off at a 2,764.8Wh LiFePO4 capacity that you can expand as high as 11,059.2Wh with more batteries. This setup provides a steady output of up to 3,000W of power, surging as high as 6,000W to cover larger needs.

There are 16 port options to connect your devices and appliances to, broken down into seven AC ports (including a 120V TT-30 port), four USB-A ports, two DC ports, a single USB-C port, and two 15W wireless charging pads. There are four recharging options available, either through a wall outlet, a car port, or connected to up to its max 2,400W solar input, as well as a dual-charging option using both its AC input and solar input simultaneously. It’s rated to last for over 10 years by the brand, with the full array of remote smart controls available through its companion app.

Greenworks 80V 770 CFM cordless axial leaf blower

Get 770 CFM clearing power with Greenworks’ 80V cordless axial blower and two batteries at $300 low

Amazon is offering the bundled Greenworks 80V 770 CFM Cordless Axial Leaf Blower with 4.0Ah and 2.0Ah batteries for $299.99 shipped. This combination package would normally cost you $442 at full price, buying the blower with the usual 4.0Ah-only addition along with the separate 2.0Ah battery at their full prices. While it’s mostly been keeping above $365 during 2025, we have seen two previous falls to this same rate, with a third chance coming back around today. You’re looking at a 32% markdown, saving you $142 at the best price we have tracked – even better when considering the usual single-battery offer for this blower is at $255, while the 2.0Ah battery alone is sitting at full $142 pricing.

One of Greenworks’ more powerful leaf blowers, this 80V model weighs just 11 pounds, making it easy to handle while blasting out up to 770 CFM of force (180 MPH wind speeds). What’s more, you won’t have to deal with the fumes or loud noise from a gas engine, letting you tackle clearing your yard, walkways, driveways, and more at earlier and later hours without disturbing neighbors – plus, the push-button start means no more annoying pull strings. The 4.0Ah battery alone provides up to 80 minutes of continuous use, with that time extended by switching it out for the additional 2.0Ah battery – both of which can also be used elsewhere with other 80V tools.

We recently spotted the first savings on a new bundle from Greenworks that gives you the brand’s 24V 12-inch Cordless String Trimmer/Edger with a 4.0Ah battery, brush cutter attachment, and 20 replacement blades at just $100.

Worx 20V 12-inch string trimmer/edger and leaf blower bundle

Bundle Worx’s 20V 12-inch trimmer/edger 3.0 with a 360 CFM leaf blower and two batteries for $129 (2025 low)

Amazon is offering the Worx 20V 12-inch Cordless String Trimmer/Edger 3.0 and 360 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower Combo for $128.99 shipped. While this bundle is normally priced at $160, it’s been more often keeping between $137 and $153 over the last year. We’ve seen it go as low as $112 in the past, but today’s deal returns the costs to the lowest price we have tracked in 2025, giving you a budget-friendly lawn care bundle that comes well under many of its competitor’s pricing for similar bundles.

A great option for folks to replace noisy gas guzzlers without burning a hole through your wallet, your lawn’s edges will get plenty of support with this 2-in-1 string trimmer. It delivers a 12-inch cutting swath, and easily converts into an edger by pivoting the head. Speaking of the head, it comes with a push-button line feeder, giving you fresh lines on demand when any breaks occur. The leaf blower comes modeled after a jet engine, with a turbine-like design that dishes out up to 360 CFM of force (about 75 MPH speeds). Both models come extremely lightweight at 4.4 pounds for the blower and 5.3 pounds for the trimmer. You’ll also be getting two 20V 2.0Ah batteries that can be used with any of the brand’s other tools in the PowerShare ecosystem.

If you’re not interested in the blower, you can also pick up Worx’s GT Revolution 20V 12-inch 3-in-1 Cordless String Trimmer/Edger/Mini-Mower for $108.98 shipped right now, which is the lowest price we have tracked in the last year. Also coming with two batteries, this model offers much of the same performance as the above trimmer, with the addition of the mini lawn mower function.

Worx 13A 1,700 PSI Compact Electric pressure Washer

Save space with Worx’s 13A 1,700 PSI compact electric pressure washer at the best price of the year for $100

Amazon is offering the Worx 13A 1,700 PSI Compact Electric Pressure Washer for $99.99 shipped. Priced at $130, we’ve been seeing it hold out at $125 since September, with it skipped over for Black Friday, Christmas, and other savings events in the time since. While we’ve seen it go as low as $79 in the past, this $30 markdown is otherwise the best rate we have tracked in the last 12 months.

Perfect for anyone looking for a higher-powered pressure washer within a compact and portable form, this 16-pound 13A model from Worx measures in at just 14.1-inch length by 9.1-inch width by 10.6-inch height, providing up to 1,700 PSI (max 1,870) with a 1.4 GPM flow rate. There’s a simple integrated cord wrap for better organization when it’s not in use, with its body also providing a convenient handle for easy transport. You’ll also be getting a spray wand with a 1/4-inch fitting for quick exchanges of the included 40-degree and turbo nozzles (with onboard storage for them too).

There’s also the upgraded Worx 13A Framed 1,900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer down at its best rate of the last year for $159 shipped, down from $200. Aside from the higher PSI that it delivers (maxing out at 2,090), this model sports a similarly compact build, albeit in a framed form that comes with wheels and a telescoping handle, as well as an onboard soap tank and four quick-connect nozzles.

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.

BYD is now saying the EV price war is ‘not sustainable,’ yet it’s still slashing prices

BYD is now saying the EV price war is 'not sustainable,' yet it's still slashing prices

BYD-price-war-not-sustainable

The price war on electric cars in China is quickly getting out of control. BYD’s executive president, Stella Li, is saying the EV price war, which it essentially created, is “not sustainable” anymore.

BYD exec says the EV price war is not sustainable

BYD has been all over the news after announcing a new round of price cuts last month on some of its top-selling vehicles.

Some of you may have heard of the Seagull EV, BYD’s top-selling (and most affordable) electric car in China. Although it was already among the cheapest EVs with a starting price tag of around $10,000 (66,800 yuan), it’s now available for under $8,000 (55,800 yuan).

BYD slashed prices on 22 vehicles by up to 34%. The discounts triggered a wave of rivals to follow suit, including Geely and Leapmotor.

The aggressive discounts prompted the China Automobile Manufacturers Association (CAMA) to issue a statement, warning that the lower prices are “triggering a new round of price war panic.”

The organization added that “Disorderly price wars intensify vicious competition, further compressing corporate profit margins.”

BYD’s Li appears to agree. During an interview with Bloomberg this week, Li said that “It’s very extreme, tough competition” in China. BYD’s leader added that the price war is “not sustainable” and that some brands wouldn’t survive.

Li didn’t say if BYD was planning to raise prices. Meanwhile, the company continues to launch low-cost models, undercutting its rivals. BYD launched its new Seal 06 electric sedan earlier this week, starting at just over $15,000 (109,800 yuan), or less than half the cost of a Tesla Model 3 in China.

Even in overseas markets, where BYD is aggressively expanding, it’s offering extremely affordable vehicles. Its new Dolphin Surf, a rebadged version of the Seagull EV, launched as one of the cheapest vehicles in the UK with a starting price of £18,650 (just over $25,000).

BYD has already outsold Tesla in the UK and Europe in monthly registrations. Will the Dolphin Surf’s arrival prompt others in Europe to follow suit? According to analysts, it could actually help drive EV sales.

Lucid’s (LCID) first $50,000 midsize EV prototypes appear in Nikola’s former headquarters

Lucid's (LCID) first ,000 midsize EV prototypes appear in Nikola's former headquarters

Lucid-first-midsize-EV-prototypes

Lucid (LCID) is housing the first prototypes of its upcoming midsize EV, which will start at about $50,000, in Nikola’s former headquarters. After opening its new Phoenix Hub facility this week, Lucid is taking another big step toward launching its new midsize platform.

Lucid’s first midsize EV models are coming soon

Lucid celebrated the grand opening of its new Phoenix hub this week, adding over 884,000 square feet to its Arizona footprint.

The new facilities, acquired from Nikola in April, will serve as Lucid’s research and development hub as it enters its next growth stage.

“These new facilities provide Lucid with immediate and substantial capacity for advanced manufacturing activities, as well as developing product innovations and testing components and systems,” Lucid’s senior vice president of operations said at the event (via Arizona Commerce Authority).

The new hub will support Lucid’s main manufacturing plant in Casa Grande as it ramps up production of its first electric SUV, the Gravity.

It will also be home to the first midsize EV models, which Lucid said will launch with prices starting at around $50,000.

According to FOX 10’s Steve Nielson, Lucid’s first midsize EV models are already inside the new Phoenix facility. During an exclusive interview, Nielson said, “Inside of this building are the first prototypes of a midsize SUV that will be priced under $50,000.”

However, other local media have conflicting reports. The Phoenix Business Journal reported that Lucid’s interim CEO, Marc Winterhoff, said the new hub will have “a pilot line where we build the first vehicles for our midsized platform,” but added “that’s currently still in development.”

We got a sneak peek of the midsize SUV last September after Lucid revealed a teaser, showing a blurry outline of the upcoming EV.

Lucid’s midsize platform is slated to enter production in late 2026. The first two models based on the platform are expected to be a midsize electric SUV and sedan, starting at under $50,000.

Former CEO Peter Rawlinson previously said that Lucid’s new midsize EVs are aimed “right in the heart of Tesla Model 3, Model Y territory.” Lucid told Electrek that there will be a third vehicle based on the platform, but didn’t confirm any other details.

For now, Lucid will focus on ramping up Gravity production. The Lucid Gravity GT is available starting at $94,900 with a range of up to 450 miles. Later this year, a more affordable Touring trim will be added to the lineup, priced at $79,900.

Lucid plans to produce 20,000 vehicles this year, more than double the roughly 9,000 it made in 2024. It’s also expanding into new overseas markets, including parts of Europe and the Middle East.

Toyota’s new $15K electric SUV is already the best-selling foreign EV in China

Toyota's new K electric SUV is already the best-selling foreign EV in China

Toyota's-electric-SUV-best-selling

Toyota’s new electric SUV is already off to a strong start. Starting at about $15,000 in China, Toyota’s new bZ3X electric SUV was the best-selling EV among foreign brands in China last month.

Toyota’s bZ3X was the best-selling foreign EV in May

After a slow start (to put it nicely), Toyota is now looking to capture its share of the world’s largest electric vehicle market. The Japanese automaker launched a series of new low-cost electric cars that are already helping it turn things around in China, one of its most important markets.

Toyota’s joint venture, GAC Toyota, launched the bZ3X in March, starting at just 109,800 yuan, or about $15,000.

The bZ3X is Toyota’s “first 100,000 yuan-level pure electric SUV” and most affordable EV so far in China. So far, the low-cost electric SUV looks to be a hit.

Toyota’s new bZ3X electric SUV was the best-selling foreign-owned vehicle in China in May with 4,344 units sold. The Volkswagen ID.3 was second, with 4,217 units, while Nissan’s new N7 sedan ranked third, with 3,034 units. Rounding out the top five were BMW’s i3 (2,605) and the VW ID.4 CROZZ (2,600).

Toyota's-electric-SUV-best-selling

After launching the new low-cost EV on March 6, GAC Toyota claimed the bZ3X was “so popular that the server crashed” with over 10,000 orders in an hour.

At the end of April, Peng Baolin, General Manager of Sales at GAC-Toyota, said the company had already delivered over 10,000 bZ3X models to customers. Baolin added that the electric SUV had another 12,000 pending orders at the time.

At 4,645 mm in length, 1,885 mm in width, and 1,625 mm in height, the bZ3X is about the same size as the BYD Yuan Plus (sold as the Atto 3 overseas).

The bZ3X is available in seven different trims. Five of them do not include a LiDAR, while the other two do, making Toyota the first joint venture brand to offer one in China. Upgrading to the LiDAR variants costs 149,800 yuan ($20,500).

It’s offered with two battery options: 50.03 kWh and 67.92 kWh, which offer CLTC driving ranges of 430 km (267 miles) and 610 km (379 miles), respectively.

The interior is an upgrade from most Toyota vehicles we are accustomed to, featuring a simple yet tech-heavy cabin. A 12.3″ infotainment screen sits at the center with an added 8.8″ driver cluster.

Toyota-bZ3X-electric-SUV-best-selling

GAC Toyota designed the interior for more than just getting from one place to another. With nearly 10 feet (3 meters) of space with all seats folded, the bZ3X offers “a mobile space that is as comfortable as home.

Equipped with Momenta’s 5.0 smart driving system, the electric SUV offers ADAS features like Level 2 assisted driving, remote parking, and more.

Toyota said earlier this year that “2025 is the starting point of a new 60th anniversary for Toyota China.” By partnering with local companies, “We will define products with Chinese wisdom, promote innovation at Chinese speed, and let the Chinese market drive Toyota’s global evolution.”

Electrek’s Take

Toyota is finally gaining some traction in China with advanced new electric vehicles, custom-tailored to the market.

During its Tech Day event held on Thursday, GAC Toyota announced several new partnerships with some of China’s biggest tech leaders, including Huawei, Xiami, and Momenta.

The new alliances will help Toyota build an entire ecosystem centered on software, smart driving, AI, and other EV tech as part of its new “China R&D 2.0” strategy.

Toyota’s new vehicles are already helping turn things around in China. In April, the Japanese automakers’ sales rose 20% year-over-year, with nearly 143,000 cars sold. Toyota attributed its success to the shift to new energy vehicles and strong dealership promotions.

Through May, Toyota’s sales in China are up 7.7% with 530,000 vehicles sold. With several new EVs rolling out, including the bZ3X and its new bZ5, which launched this week, starting at about $18,000. At about the same size as the Tesla Model Y, but only half the cost, will it see the same demand? We’ll find out soon as delivery and sales numbers are released.
