Anker’s SOLIX Summer Power Sale drops C800 power stations back to lowest prices starting from $349, more

Anker has launched its SOLIX Summer Power Sale running through August 17, with up to 55% discounts across its power station lineup, which is continuing much of the Prime Day pricing we saw last month. Among the offers we’re seeing, we spotted returns to the best pricing on the brand’s SOLIX C800 Portable Power Station at $349 shipped (beating Amazon by $250) and the SOLIX C800 Plus Portable Power Station at $399 shipped (also beating Amazon by $250). Normally, you’d be paying $599 and $699, respectively, for these units outside of sales, with discounts in 2025 having seen them go as low as their second-best pricing of $399 and $449, most recently during the Prime Day Sale event. You’re looking at increased savings through the next two weeks, saving you $250 and $300 off the going rates at the best prices we have tracked.

These two power stations were designed to specifically tackle camping support, though they’re equally capable of handling emergency power backup for your personal devices and small appliances. The SOLIX C800 and C800 Plus power stations sport a 768Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can deliver up to 1,600W of output power via the 10 port options (five ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, and a single car port). A standard wall outlet can have the battery back to full in 58 minutes, with the option to also connect up to a maximum 300W solar input to charge from the sun’s rays.

The big difference between the two revolves around the on-board storage compartment at the top of the stations, with the standard C800 having it open to use as you need, while the C800 Plus comes with two water-resistant LED camping lights that fit right inside that space. These lights provide three lighting modes, with added versatility in the form of a retractable polearm that can act as a hanger, a tripod, or even a selfie stick.

By way of its official Amazon storefront, Camplux is offering up to 27% off a number of its compact under-sink electric water heaters, like the 4-gallon Mini Electric Water Heater that is down at $159.99 shipped. Normally this model would cost you $200 at full price, with discounts in the last year having gone as low as $170 until Prime Day when we spotted it falling to this same rate. The deal is coming back around to save you $40 off the going rate at the best price we have tracked for the year, sitting just $8 above the all-time low from 2023.

Utilize your EGO Power+ batteries to run devices with the Nexus Escape 180W 3-port inverter at $89

Amazon is offering the EGO Power+ Nexus Escape 180W Inverter at $89 shipped. You’d usually have to shell out $109 for this device without any savings, though it spent much of 2025 keeping at or below $100 until jumping back to its full rate for June and July – even being skipped over during Prime Day. While we’ve seen it go as low as $75 in the past (last seen during October’s Prime Day event), you’re still looking at a solid 19% markdown that saves you $21 while giving you the means to get more use out of your EGO brand batteries.

Amazon is offering the Worx Nitro 40V 16-inch Cordless Intellicut Lawn Mower at $219 shipped. Normally going for $350 at full price, we saw it repeatedly drop to $250 from March to May, with the price going further to $240 in June and as low as $218 in July during Prime Day. Today’s deal is a 37% markdown that cuts $131 off the going rate, giving you an intelligent yet still budget-friendly electric mowing solution at the second-best price we have tracked – falling just $0.50 above the Prime Day low.

Trump’s latest offshore wind cancellation is a threat to the grid – ISO New England

Trump's latest offshore wind cancellation is a threat to the grid – ISO New England

Trump’s Interior Department halted construction on 704 megawatt (MW) Revolution Wind, the US’s first multi-state offshore wind project that’s already 80% complete. Grid operator ISO New England says the decision is a threat to the grid.

ISO New England released a statement responding to the stop-work order, warning that “delaying the project will increase risks to reliability.”:

As demand for electricity grows, New England must maintain and add to its energy infrastructure. Unpredictable risks and threats to resources – regardless of technology – that have made significant capital investments, secured necessary permits, and are close to completion will stifle future investments, increase costs to consumers, and undermine the power grid’s reliability and the region’s economy now and in the future.

Revolution Wind, a joint development between Ørsted and BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners, is a 65-turbine project capable of powering around 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut once it’s complete. It was expected to come online next year. The project has created more than 1,200 jobs.

On August 22, the director of Bureau of Ocean Energy Management sent a vague letter to Ørsted commanding it to halt all activities on the fully permitted Revolution Wind, citing “national security interests,” yet providing no details.

BOEM’s Record of Decision for Revolution Wind, reported in 2023 in Section 4.6, page 185, states that the national security effects of the project would be “negligible and avoidable.”

This latest move echoes Trump’s cancellation in April of New York’s $5 billion Empire Wind 1 project, which was already under construction off New York’s coast. No viable reasons were given for that stop-work order either, and the cancellation was reversed in May.

Kit Kennedy, managing director for power at Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), released the following statement in response to the Revolution Wind order:

The Trump administration’s war on the electricity needed to power the grid continues on all fronts. Halting Revolution Wind is a devastating attack on workers, on electricity customers, and on the investment climate in the US.

New England homeowners will feel this when they tear open their electricity bills and look at the surging costs of keeping the lights on.

This administration has it exactly backwards. It’s trying to prop up clunky, polluting coal plants while doing all it can to halt the fastest growing energy sources of the future – solar and wind power.

It makes no sense to say we have an energy emergency and then make decisions like this. Unfortunately, every American is paying the price for these misguided actions.

Tesla teases new product release on Friday

Tesla is teasing a new product release on Friday, August 29th, coming to Europe and the Middle East. It’s likely going to be the Model Y Performance.

On X today, Tesla has teased an upcoming product release coming this friday.

The post is cryptic. It only mentions ‘spoiler alert’ and the date August 29 with what looks like a close up of a vehicle with what appears to be a spoil – hence the “spoiler alert” reference:

There are main suspect is the Model Y Performance due to the spoiler reference.

Since the Model Y refresh in January, Tesla stopped selling the Model Y Performance. It is due to launch the top performance version under the new design.

When Tesla released the Model 3 refresh in 2024, it took about 4 months for Tesla to launch the new performance version.

Electrek’s Take

The only thing that I find strange with this likely being the Model Y Performance is the fact that they tweeted this from the Europe and Middle East account.

It would be strange for the Model Y Performance to launch there first, but who knows. Maybe Tesla started production at Gigafactory Berlin first.

I don’t think this will have a major impact on Tesla’s business. The Model Y Performance is the least popular version of the best-selling Model Y.

We don’t have the full mix of sales, but I wouldn’t be suprised if it represents less than 10% of Tesla’s Model Y deliveries.

The Model 3 Performance is probably a more popular option within the Model 3 lineup as it is a lot more fun to drive.

Genesis GV60 Magma EV sheds camo, revealing a radical new look [Video]

Genesis-GV60-Magma-EV

The GV60 Magma will have a distinct look and feel compared to other Genesis vehicles. As the first EV from its new performance sub-brand, the Genesis GV60 Magma will debut with enhanced power, advanced suspension, a sporty new design, and more. For the first time, it was caught on video racing around the Nürburgring, giving us our closest look yet.

Genesis GV60 Magma EV flexes new style at Nürburgring

We got our first look at the new Magma models last March at the NY Auto Show alongside the full-size Neolun concept.

Magma is “the brand’s expansion into the realm of high-performance vehicles,” Genesis boasted. Among the first vehicles to earn a Magma upgrade is the GV60.

Genesis fine-tuned the electric crossover SUV, giving it a wider and lower stance for improved control. The larger lower air intake contributes to the aggressive new look, while also serving to cool the batteries and motor, both of which have been upgraded for enhanced performance.

Earlier this year, we got a good look at the GV60 Magma during winter testing in Europe. Although you could see a few new design features, it was mostly covered in camo.

After it was recently spotted with less camo at the Nürburgring race track in Germany, we are getting an even better idea of what to expect when it arrives.

The video from CarSpyMedia shows the Genesis GV60 Magma EV with a production body and minimal camouflage.

You can see the high-performance vehicle flexing its power and handling as it rips around the track. Like other Hyundai Motor performance EVs, including the new IONIQ 6 N, you can expect the Genesis GV60 Magma to deliver over 600 horsepower, if not closer to 700.

The current Genesis GV60 Performance delivers up to 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, good for a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds.

Horsepower 0 to 60 mph
(seconds)		 Starting Price
Genesis GV60 Performance 429 3.7 $69,900
Genesis GV60 Magma ? ? ?
Porsche Taycan 402 4.5 $99,400
Porsche Taycan Turbo GT
(with Weissach Package)		 1,092 2.1 $230,000
Tesla Model S Plaid 1,020 1.99 $89,990
Genesis GV60 Magma vs Porsche Taycan vs Tesla Model S Plaid

Genesis will launch the GV60 Magma EV later this year in Korea, followed by the US, Europe, and other global markets. We will learn prices and final specs closer to launch, but given the Performance models start at $69,900, you can expect a higher starting price tag, likely closer to $75,000.

At that it would be significantly less than the Porsche Taycan Turbo and Tesla Model S Plaid. Will it match the performance?
