We’ve got plenty of seasonal sales in today’s Green Deals, led by Aventon’s 4th of July Sale that is taking up to $500 off its e-bike lineup, with prices getting lower than we’ve seen this year, like on the Aventure 2 All-Terrain e-bike that has dropped to a $1,599 annual low, among others. EcoFlow has launched another 48-hour early Prime Day flash sale that gives you another shot at the best pricing on the DELTA Pro Portable Power Station (with varying options for free gear/savings) starting from $1,709, as well as two expansion battery offers for DELTA 2 and DELTA Pro Ultra setups. Next, Velotric’s 4th of July event is offering up to $720 in savings on its e-bikes – legacy and new releases – with models like the Discover 1 Plus Commuter e-bike going lower than ever this year at $1,199. We also spotted LG’s WashCombo All-in-One Electric Washer/Dryer with a ventless inverter heat pump starting from $1,800, as well as Husqvarna’s Automower 115H Robot Lawn Mower down at $499. Plus, there’s all the rest of the hangover Green Deals in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s first-ever savings on the Ford Mustang and Bronco e-bikes, the new low prices hitting Anker’s SOLIX F3800 Plus units, and more.

Hop on Aventon’s Aventure 2 e-bike for all-terrain journeys at $1,599 annual low in 4th of July Sale

Aventon Bikes has an ongoing 4th of July Sale event running through July 8 with up to $500 discounts across its e-bike lineup, like the Aventure 2 All-Terrain e-bike for $1,599 shipped. While this model carries a $1,999 MSRP, it’s been spending 2025 keeping down at $1,699 in and out of sales, especially since the new Aventure 3 smart e-bike was released at the top of May for $1,999 shipped. We have seen the Aventure 2 fall lower in past years, though none of those rates have been seen in quite some time and are far less likely to reappear with tariffs still putting pressure on the American market. You’re looking at the best price we have tracked in the last 12 months, with the $400 markdown here even beating out its 2024 Black Friday and Cyber Monday pricing by $100. Head below for the full sale’s lineup.

Aventon’s Aventure 2 e-bike, as the name may imply, is all about supporting you through all-terrain adventures, coming with a 750W rear hub motor (peaking at 1,130W) paired alongside a 15.0Ah integrated battery. This combination provides up to 20 to 28 MPH adjustable top speeds, with four levels of pedal assistance supporting you for up to 60 miles on a single charge, or you can cruise along on pure electric energy at a reduced mileage. Among its list of features, which don’t include the smart features you’ll get going with its new upgraded 3rd-generation counterpart, you’ll find a rear-mounted cargo rack, fenders over both 26 by 4-inch tires, an integrated headlight, an integrated taillight that provides brake lighting and turn signal functionality, as well as a backlit LCD screen for performance data and setting adjustments, and more.

ecoflow delta pro portable power station

EcoFlow flash sale returns DELTA Pro station back to best pricing from $1,709 and expansion batteries from $429

As part of its ongoing early Prime Day Sale, EcoFlow has launched another 48-hour flash sale that mimics one we saw last week, with three different units being included – one of which has two varying ways to save, depending on your needs. The only power station offer comes to the DELTA Pro Portable Power Station that can either get a free protective bag at $1,799 shipped (not valid with extra savings) or you can add it to your cart from this landing page and get a free RAPID 5,000mAh power bank at $1,709.05 shipped, after using the code EFPDAFF5 at checkout for an additional 5% savings. While the station carries a $3,699 MSRP, it usually can be scored from Amazon around $1,999, though this sale has given us a return to $1,799 for the first time since March, with another opportunity at the $1,709 low thanks to the extra savings. You’ll currently find just the power station down at $1,784 from Amazon, which doesn’t include any free gear or bonus savings.

There’s a reason EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro power station has remained one of the most popular legacy models from under the brand’s flag, what with its expansive capabilities from its starting 3,600Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity all the way up to 25KWh when adding on additional equipment. Through the 14 output ports you’ll get a steady power range up to 3,600W, which surges to 7,200W for larger appliance needs. There are three main ways to recharge here, either through a standard wall outlet, with a car auxiliary port, or when connecting up to its 1,600W max solar input to charge via the sun’s rays.

The next two offers are expansion battery opportunities, with the DELTA 2 Extra Battery back down at its lowest price of $429 shipped, and also matching from Amazon, letting you expand your DELTA 2 setup by 1,024Wh towards the max 3,072Wh capacity. The second of these offers gives you two DELTA Pro Ultra Extra Batteries for $4,399 shipped, which sadly can’t use the extra savings codes but does get a free 500W (4 x 125W) modular solar panel with it. Adding these batteries to your DELTA Pro Ultra setup bumps its capacity up by a massive 12.2kWh, which can go as high as 90kWh.

Be sure to check out the full lineup of EcoFlow’s early Prime Day Sale offers while they last through July 7, with up to 60% off in initial discounts, extra 5% and 7% savings, free gifts, and more – all from $179.

velotric discover 1 plus e-bikes

Velotric’s 4th of July Sale offers up to $720 in e-bike savings and free bundled gear starting from $599

Velotric has launched its 4th of July/Prime Day Sale with up to $720 in savings across its e-bike lineup, including bundled gear accompanying its newest models and new low pricing on the Fold 1 Lite. Among the options, we spotted the popular Discover 1 Plus Commuter e-bike coming with a rear cargo rack ($83 value) at $1,199 shipped. While the e-bike would normally cost you $1,699 at full price, the bundle here would sit a little higher at $1,782 without the deal. This model has been seen as low as $1,299 in 2025 previously, with the cost going lower than ever this year thanks to the $500 markdown off the going rate, landing it down at the second-lowest price that is only beaten by the $1,099 low we last saw during the brand’s Black Friday Sale. Head below to get a full breakdown of all the deals we’re seeing while this sale lasts.

Velotric’s Discover 1 Plus e-bike is one of the brand’s most popular commuting solutions, equipped with a 500W rear hub motor (that peaks at 900W) alongside a 691.2Wh battery for up to 65 miles of PAS-supported travel. It comes with a standard 20 MPH speed, which you can boost to 28 MPH after unlocking, with a throttle available for any pure electric cruising you want to get in, though keep in mind this will reduce its travel range. While it doesn’t offers the smart features like Apple Find My that comes with its Discover 2 counterpart, the Discover 1 Plus still brings a solid lineup of features for such a low price.

Stopping power is heightened by the double hydraulic disc brakes, while pedaling is supported with a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, and it comes with an IPX7 waterproof construction. You’ll also find 26-inch puncture-resistant tires with fenders over each, an integrated LED headlight, a taillight that boasts brake lighting, and a 3.5-inch LCD screen for real-time data and setting adjustments. That display also provides you with a USB port to charge devices, and the option to set it to a walk assist mode when you can’t easily pedal up extreme inclines.

  • Fold 1 Plus e-bike: $1,499 (No price cut)

LG washcombo all-in-one electric ventless washer and dryer

LG’s WashCombo smart all-in-one electric ventless washer/dryer now up to $1,500 off starting from $1,800

As part of its ongoing 4th of July appliance sale, Best Buy is offering the LG WashCombo All-in-One Electric Washer/Dryer with ventless inverter heat pump at $1,799.99 shipped, after using the code Save10 at checkout for an additional 10% savings. This eco-friendly ventless model would normally cost you $3,300 these days, which we’ve mostly seen returning to $2,000 over 2025, which goes lower than we’ve seen this year thanks to the extra holiday savings. You’ll be getting a $1,500 markdown off the going rate while this deal lasts, dropping costs to the second-lowest price we have tracked, only beaten out by the $1,500 low we last saw during July 2024. It’s even beating out LG’s direct pricing by $199, though this doesn’t factor in the additional savings you get for multi-year care plans, installation, and haul-away services – all of which are not included from Best Buy.

This ENERGY STAR-certified washer/dryer has everything you need to complete laundry tasks in one space-saving unit, which is also handy if you’re considering doubling up to tackle laundry at twice the speed. It comes offering a wide array of smart controls via its companion app alongside a built-in smart system that can recognize soil levels in your fabrics and adjust settings accordingly, taking much of the guesswork and/or memorization out of the equation.

Among its many features, there are two notable standouts, with the first being its namesake ventless design, which allows for it to be installed virtually anywhere that has access to a standard 120V outlet. The inverter heat pump tech pairs nicely with this feature, increasing efficiency “using up to 60% less energy with every load” over other models. The second of the standout features is the ezDispense reservoir that can keep up to 31 loads worth of detergent stored at a time, which you could also divide between detegent and fabric softener too.

Be sure to check out all the appliance deals – with extra savings – during Best Buy’s 4th of July Sale, which you can browse on the landing page here. You can also check out LG’s direct 4th of July appliance deals on the sale’s landing page here, which include significant savings when bundling multiple units.

Amazon is offering the Husqvarna Automower 115H 4G Robotic Lawn Mower at $499 shipped. While it carries a $700 MSRP direct from the brand, we’ve been tracking it between $499 and $599 for a few months now at Amazon.

Tesla teases new Roadster as ‘the last best driver’s car’

Tesla teases new Roadster as 'the last best driver's car'

Tesla

Tesla is again teasing the new Roadster, which is now five years late, as “the last driver’s car” before self-driving takes over.

The chicken or the egg. Is Tesla delaying the Roadster to match the development of self-driving technology, or is it delaying the development of self-driving technology to match the delayed release of the Roadster?

The prototype for the next-generation Tesla Roadster was first unveiled in 2017, and it was initially scheduled to enter production in 2020; however, it has been delayed every year since then.

It was supposed to achieve a range of 620 miles (1,000 km) and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 1.9 seconds.

Advertisement – scroll for more content

It has become a sort of running joke, and there are doubts that it will ever come to market despite Tesla’s promise of dozens of free new Roadsters to Tesla owners who participated in its referral program years ago.

Tesla used the promise of free Roadsters to help generate billions of dollars worth of sales, which Tesla owners delivered; however, the automaker never delivered on its part of the agreement.

Furthermore, many people placed deposits ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 to reserve the vehicle, which was initially scheduled to hit the market five years ago.

When unveiling the vehicle, CEO Elon Musk described it as a “halo car” that would deliver a “smack down” to gasoline vehicles.

That was almost eight years ago, and many electric hypercars have since launched and delivered this smackdown.

Tesla has partly blamed the delays on improving the next-gen Roadsters and added features like the “SpaceX package,” which is supposed to include cold air thrusters to enable the vehicle to fly – Musk has hinted.

Many people don’t believe any of it, as Tesla has said that it would launch the new Roadster every year for the last 5 years and never did.

Now, Lars Moravy, Tesla’s head of vehicle engineering, made a rare new comment about the next-generation Roadster during an interview at the X Takeover event, an annual gathering of Elon Musk cultists, last weekend.

He referred to Tesla’s next-gen Roadster as the “last best driver’s car” and said that the automaker did “some cool demos” for Musk last week:

We spent a lot of time in the last few years rethinking what we did, and why we did it, and what would make an awesome and exciting last best driver’s car. We’ve been making it better and better, and it is even a little bit more than a car. We showed Elon some cool demos last week and tech we’ve been working on, and he got a little excited.

The timing matches Musk’s recent claim that Tesla is going to have ‘the most epic demo ever, ’ but we heard that one before.

We suspected that the comment might be about the Tesla Roadster, as the CEO made the exact same comment about Roadster demos in 2019 and 2024. You will not be shocked to hear that these demos never happen.

Electrek’s Take

The “last best driver’s car” before computers are going to drive us everywhere. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy if you continue to delay the car. It might literally be the last car ever made that way. How would we ever know?

The truth is that the Roadster was cool when it was unveiled in 2017, but that was a long time ago. Tesla would need to update the car quite a bit to make it cool in 2025, and I don’t know that cold air clusters are it. You will have extreme limitations using those.

The Roadster is almost entirely in the “put up or shut up” category for me at Tesla. They need to stop talking about it and make it happen; otherwise, I can’t believe a word.

Kia’s electric van spotted in the US again, but will it ever launch?

Kia's electric van spotted in the US again, but will it ever launch?

Kia's-electric-van-US

The PV5 is already available in several markets, but will Kia launch it in the US? After Kia’s electric van was spotted testing in the US again, a US debut could be in the works.

Is Kia’s electric van coming to the US?

Kia launched the PV5, the first dedicated electric van from its new Platform Beyond vehicle (PBV) business, in South Korea and Europe earlier this year, promising it will roll out in “other global markets” in 2026.

Will that include the US? Earlier this year, Kia’s electric van was caught charging at a station in Indiana. Photos and a video sent to Electrek by Alex Nguyen confirmed it was, in fact, the PV5.

Kia has yet to say if it will sell the PV5 in the US, likely due to the Trump Administration’s new auto tariffs. All electric vans, or PBVs, including the PV5, will be built at Kia’s Hwaseong plant in South Korea, which means they will face a stiff 25% tariff as imports.

Following another sighting, a US debut cannot be ruled out. The PV5 Passenger model was spotted by Automotive Validation Engineer Chris Higa (@Chrisediting) while testing in Arizona.

There’s no denying that’s Kia’s electric van, but it doesn’t necessarily confirm it will launch in the US. But it could make sense.

Despite record first-half sales in the US, Kia’s EV sales have fallen significantly. Sales of the EV9 and EV6 are nearly 50% less than in the first half of 2024.

To be fair, part of it is due to the new model year changeover, but Kia is also doubling down on the US market by boosting local production. Earlier this year, Kia said the EV6 and EV9 are now in full-scale production at its West Point, GA, facility.

The PV5 Passenger (shown above) is available in Europe with two battery pack options: 51.5 kWh or 71.2 kWh, rated with WLTP ranges of 179 miles and 249 miles, respectively. The Cargo variant has the same battery options but offers a WLTP range of either 181 miles or 247 miles.

During its PV5 Tech Day event last week, Kia revealed plans for seven PV5 body types, including an Open Bed (similar to a pickup), a Light Camper, and even a luxury “Prime” passenger model.

Kia is set to begin deliveries of the PV5 Passenger and Cargo Long variants in South Korea next month, followed by Europe and other global markets, starting in Q4 2025. As for a US launch, we will have to wait for the official word from Kia.
