All these and more are waiting for you below. Plus, there’s all the hangover savings at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s Bluetti Pioneer MD power station low price, Govee’s new Outdoor Garden Lights, and more.

EcoFlow’s July Madness Sale knocks 58% or more off your next power station w/ bonus rewards from $179

EcoFlow has launched its July EcoCredits Monthly Madness Sale through the rest of the month, taking up to 58% off a collection of power stations, solar generator bundles, and accessories, all while offering members extra savings, higher EcoCredit rewards, and chances to play the brand’s Lucky Spin game. Among the offers, one of the best packages with plenty of future expansion potential is the DELTA Pro Solar Generator Bundle that comes with two 220W solar panels and a free protective bag at $2,255.06 shipped, after using the code ECOAFF6 at checkout for an additional 6% savings. This bundle would normally run you $4,997 outside of sales here, while at Amazon is keeps lower at $3,999, where it’s currently priced down at $2,299 and doesn’t include the free bag. While it may not be the $2,089 low we saw during the main Prime Sale, nor the pre-extra savings $2,199 pricing, you’re still looking at the third-lowest price here that saves you $2,742 in total while giving you everything to cover at-home and in-nature devices and appliances.

For this longer-than-usual eight-day event, you have several promotions to take advantage of, like the extra 6% savings members get on their orders by using the code ECOAFF6 at checkout. From there, purchases will score 2x EcoCredits for standard members while Plus members will be getting 3x EcoCredits. And if you’re asking what’s the difference, its all about how you spend – with standard memberships being free to start and upgraded to Plus status after accumulating at least 6,000 EcoCredits. The brand has also brought back its Lucky Spin wheel that costs 500 EcoCredits to spin (with a limit of twice per day), as well as the various redemption options below it at the bottom of the sale’s landing page.

EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro portable power station is a very popular legacy model and one which we regularly feature in our coverage for good reason. It starts with a 3,600Wh LiFePO4 battery that can have its capacity expanded as high as 25kWh after adding the appropriate expansion batteries and also pairing multiple stations/setups together. It delivers a steady 3,600W output and surges up to 7,200W when needed, all through its 14 port options.

It features the usual array of smart controls you’d expect through its companion app on your smartphone or tablet, and comes with three primary means to regain its battery. You can plug it into a wall outlet at home, plug it into your car’s auxiliary port, or connect up to its max 1,600W solar input to recharge via the sun. Of course, there are alternate ways too that include buying separate equipment, like the brand’s alternator chargers, for example, among others.

***Note: The extra savings have not been factored into any of the pricing below, so be sure to use the code ECOAFF6 at checkout to score the maximum savings on your total cart order!

Enjoy off-road adventure on Aventon’s Ramblas mid-drive electric mountain bike at $2,599 annual low

Aventon has a selection of e-bikes retaining their annual low prices, like the Level 2 Commuter or the new Pace 4 smart cruiser, but we wanted to shine a spotlight on the brand’s Ramblas Electric Mountain Bike that’s keeping down at $2,599 shipped. It’s been going for $2,899 this year since tariffs raised many of the brand’s rates, with many of the discounts we’ve seen this year dropping things to $2,699, though recently we’ve been seeing it fall to $2,599 more frequently. While we did see it go as low as $2,399 in 2024, that rate hasn’t been seen in 2025, nor is it likely to reappear any time soon, which makes the price we’re seeing hold out here the best of the year with $300 in savings.

By way of its official Amazon storefront, Bluetti is now offering a returning low rate on its AC2P Portable Power Station at $169 shipped, after clipping the on-page $20 off coupon. While it normally fetches $299 at full price directly from the brand’s website, where it’s only marked down to $289 right now, it keeps lower to $249 at Amazon, with the savings today taking things back to the best pricing we have tracked. We most recently saw this discount appear in the Prime Day event two weeks ago, with it coming back around for another shot at the biggest $80 price cut ($130 off its MSRP).

Prep well ahead of winter with off-season savings on Greenworks’ 80V 20-inch cordless snow blower at $252

Amazon is now offering an off-season discount on the Greenworks 80V 20-inch Cordless Snow Blower with 2.0Ah battery at $251.98 shipped. It would normally cost you $500 for this package directly from the brand’s website, where it’s currently down at $330, but you’ll be starting off well under that rate at Amazon for $300 in full on average. While we have seen this particular model and battery go for less in the past, you’re looking at the second-best price of the last 12 months, coming in just $12 above the yearly low that we spied during Prime Day.

Bring home Greenworks’ 3,000 PSI electric pressure washer with its biggest combo kit at $429 ($250 off, Today only)

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Combo Kit at $429 shipped. Normally going for $679 at full price, this is the biggest bundle package that’s we’ve tracked being included with this model, which isn’t available at Amazon or directly from Greenworks’ website. While we have seen the price go down as low as $349 in 2024, the $250 markdown that will only last through the rest of the day is the best price we have spotted this year.

If you want to learn more about this model and its bundle, be sure to check out our original coverage of this one-day-only deal here.

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.

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.”
