We’ve got some exciting deals closing out this week’s Green Deals, leading with the Autel Home 3000 Portable Power Station that sports an AI voice assistant at a new $1,659 low. Next, Rad Power Bikes is having a weekend flash sale on its RadRover 6 Plus e-bike that drops it to the second-ever $1,199 low, while Birdfy’s Nest Polygon Smart Solar Birdhouse with a camera is back at its $200 low, with many other houses/feeders seeing discounts too. From there, we have Navee’s autumn e-scooter sale, some tariff relief on EGO’s 56V batteries, and more waiting for you below. And don’t forget about all the hangover deals collected at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s Bluetti power station and alternator charger bundle deals, the Heybike Golden Fall e-bike Sale, and more.

Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Autel’s new Home 3000 portable 3,072Wh LiFePO4 power station with an AI voice assistant hits a new $1,659 low ($400 off)

By way of its official Amazon storefront, Autel is offering the best price yet on its new Home 3000 AI-supported Portable Power Station for $1,659 shipped, after clipping the on-page $400 off coupon, beating out the brand’s direct website pricing by $40. While it’s been on the market since April, it only became available on Amazon in early August, which we’ve seen taken down to $1,689 once before. That price is getting beaten out by the deal popping up today, which cuts $400 off the going rate for the all-time lowest price we have tracked.

While Autel may be best known for its EV charging stations, the brand has stepped further into the power solution game with its Home 3000 portable power station that puts an AI assistant front and center next to its 3,072Wh LiFePO4 capacity, which is something we haven’t seen from any of our typical favorite brands at 9to5Toys. Of course, there are the usual in-app smart controls available too, but it’s nice to see some hands-free voice commands being added in here, which range from setting timers to adjusting wattage levels, and more. Another feature that we have only seen on much more compact units is the inclusion of two wireless 15W charging pads for your iPhone, AirPods, or Apple Watch. That’s not all, as this Autel portable power station sports a total of 17 output port options, also offering five AC outlets, four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two DC outlets, a car port, and an RV port.

Through this Autel portable power station’s many output options, it delivers up to 3,000W of steady power to connected devices, appliances, and RVs, able to surge as high as 6,000W when needed. Among its recharging methods, it’s also quite a surprise to see a 200W max wind power input that can be gained from portable turbines that have begun popping up across the market more and more recently. There’s also the usual option to charge via an AC outlet to 80% in 50 minutes or to full in 1.2 hours, while also having a max 1,500W solar input and an option to charge via a USB-C port too.

Rad Power Bikes drops RadRover 6 Plus e-bike to second-ever all-time $1,199 low in weekend flash sale

Running alongside its ongoing Fall Savings Sale with several e-bike bundles (including extra batteries), Rad Power has launched a weekend flash sale through September 21 that is giving us a second-ever chance at the best price on its RadRover 6 Plus Fat-Tire e-bike for $1,199 shipped. Coming down from its $1,599 price tag, we usually see this model drop between $1,399 and $1,299 over 2025, with only one previous fall to this all-time low rate that occurred back in January. Now it’s coming back to save you $400 at the best price we have tracked, equipping your commutes and joyrides across any terrain with a reliable and durable model that has been a favorite of my family for years.

Birdfy's solar-powered Nest Polygon birdhouse attached to tree

Welcome and enjoy nesting visitors in this solar-powered birdhouse with a smart camera at its $200 low

If you pop in to its official Amazon storefront, you can find Birdfy offering its Nest Polygon Smart Solar Birdhouse with camera back at $199.99 shipped, which also matches Best Buy’s pricing as part of its Deals of the Day promotions, and beats out the brand’s direct pricing by $20. While it did carry a $280 MSRP earlier in the year, recently it fetches $260 at full price, with the cost mostly kept between $220 and $210 with discounts, and one previous fall to this low rate back during Prime Day in July. You’re getting a second chance at the best tracked price here today, with the 23% markdown cutting $60 off the tag.

If you want to learn more about this birdhouse, as well as the full lineup of smart birdhouse/feeder discounts, be sure to check out our original coverage of these deals here.

Ride into autumn with up to 20% discounts on Navee’s electric scooters + bonus and bundle savings – all starting from $360

Navee has launched its Autumn Sale that is taking up to 20% off a lineup of electric scooters, complete with bonus savings (using the code AFF50), bundle discounts, and more. Among the lineup, a great model for college students needing a reliable way around campus/town is the GT3 Max Smart Electric Scooter for $649.99 shipped with a FREE phone mount, after using the sitewide code AFF50 for an additional $50 off. It’s down from its usual $730 MSRP for the time being, which is where it’s currently priced at Amazon. This is the latest model under the brand’s flag, coming behind the flagship ST3 Pro model, which hit the market back in July and has dropped as low as $693 at Amazon, with the brand’s direct sales so far having seen it go to $620 and a one-time $561 low during August’s Back to School Sale. You’re looking at the third-lowest price tracked while the sale continues, giving you $80 off the going rate and giving your commute a much smarter solution.

EGO's 56V 10.0Ah Battery

Gain some tariff relief on EGO’s 56V 10.0Ah battery at the best price since hikes at $494

Right now at Amazon you can pick up the EGO Power+ 56V 10.0Ah Battery at $494.10 shipped, after clipping the on-page discount. This larger power solution for your tool arsenal used to go for $499 at full price, however, it looks like tariffs might have affected the market since July, much like we’ve seen with many brands, including Sonos, with a new $549 MSRP popping up across retailers, like Lowe’s, ACE Hardware, and more. The deal here now is cutting $55 off the hiked price tag, giving folks the best price we’ve tracked since April, with this being a repeat of a discount we saw in July. You’ll also find other sizes of the brand’s discounted batteries on the same listing page, ranging from 2.5Ah to 12.0Ah.

If you want to learn more about this battery, be sure to check out our original coverage of this deal here.

Classic Jeep Grand Wagoneer gets a battery electric makeover [video]

Classic Jeep Grand Wagoneer gets a battery electric makeover [video]

Vigilante 4×4 Reveals First All-Electric Jeep (SJ) Chassis

Texas-based tuning firm Vigilante 4×4 is known for its wild, high-horsepower Jeep SJ Hemi restomods – but they’re more than just a hot rod shop. To prove it, they’ve developed a bespoke, all-electric skateboard chassis designed to turn the classic Jeep Grand Wagoneer into a modern, desirable electric SUV.

The scope of the Vigilante 4×4 electric chassis project is truly impressive. More than just a Jeep SJ frame with an electric drive train bolted in, the chassis is a completely fresh design that utilizes precise 3D scans of the original SJ Wagoneers, Grand Wagoneers, and J-Trucks to establish hard points, then fitted with low-slung battery packs to give the electric restomods superior weight balance, a lower center of gravity, and objectively improved ride and handling compared to its classic, ICE-powered forefathers.

The result is a purpose-built platform that delivers power to the wheels through a dual-motor system – one mounted in the front, and one at the rear – to provide a permanent, infinitely variable four-wheel drive system that offers both on-road performance and the kind of off-road capability that made the Grand Wagoneer famous in the first place.

Vigilante 4×4 electric Jeep SJ

“This isn’t a replacement for our Vigilante HEMI offerings,” reads the official copy. “It’s a total revisit of the Vigilante platform under electric power.”

The company emphasizes that its new chassis is still in the prototype stages. As such, there are no specs, there is no pricing, there are no range estimates. Despite it all, the response from Jeep enthusiasts has already been strong. “Keep in mind this is our first prototype,” a spokesperson said. “There’s still a lot of work to be done – but the journey has begun.”

Electrek’s Take

Electric SJ chassis; Vigilante 4×4.

Retro done wrong – think the Dodge Charger Daytona EV or VW ID.Buzz – is a disaster. Always. If that nostalgic tone is just a little bit off, the song doesn’t work. The heartstrings don’t pull. Done right, however, the siren song of nostalgia will have you putting a second mortgage on your house to put a Singer Porsche or ICON Bronco in your garage.

It’s too soon to tell what side of that line the Vigilante 4×4 Jeep SJ will eventually fall, but one thing (at least) is certain: it’s closer to the mark than that Wagoneer S.

EQORE bags $1.7M to bring smart storage to power-hungry factories

EQORE bags .7M to bring smart storage to power-hungry factories

EQORE, a distributed battery storage startup based in Somerville, Massachusetts, has raised $1.7 million in seed funding to help industrial buildings tackle rising electricity costs. The round was oversubscribed and includes backing from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), Henry Ford III of Ford Motor Company, and Jonathan Kraft of The Kraft Group.

The timing couldn’t be more relevant. Data centers are booming, and that demand is slamming an already stressed grid. Big, utility-scale batteries help at the grid level, but they can’t fix the bottlenecks happening on local distribution networks. That’s where onsite storage steps in — storing energy when demand is low and discharging it when demand spikes, which helps stabilize costs for both the grid and the businesses using it.

MassCEC’s head of investments, Susan Stewart, said, “What excites us the most about EQORE’s technology is the dual impact: grid support and customer savings.” She noted that commercial and industrial buildings are ideal hosts for battery storage, but haven’t gotten much attention until now. “EQORE is closing that gap.”

Investor Randolph Mann highlighted what makes the company stand out: “By uniting advanced controls with high‑resolution metering and true end‑to‑end service, EQORE finally makes commercial behind-the-meter storage effortless and financially compelling for businesses.”

EQORE comes out of MIT’s Sandbox program and delta v accelerator and is currently part of the Harvard Climate Entrepreneurs Circle incubator. CEO and cofounder Valeriia Tyshchenko, a third‑generation engineer from Ukraine and MIT graduate, said the new funding will help the company scale alongside its existing revenue.

With the seed round closed, EQORE plans to grow its team and ramp up battery deployments at energy-intensive manufacturing facilities. The company doesn’t just install batteries; it operates them. Its autonomous software shifts when a facility uses power based on market conditions and utility incentives, reshaping load in real-time without disrupting operations.

Check out Hyundai's cool new off-road electric SUV concept [Images]

Hyundai-off-road-SUV

Hyundai took the sheets of its new off-road electric SUV, the Crater Concept, at the LA Auto Show. Here’s our first look at the compact off-roader.

Meet Hyundai’s new off-road SUV, the Crater Concept

We knew it was coming after Hyundai teased the off-road SUV earlier this week, hidden under a drape. Hyundai took the sheets off the Crater Concept at the LA Auto Show on Thursday, giving us our first real look at the rugged off-roader.

Hyundai refers to it as a compact off-road SUV that’s inspired by extreme events. The concept was brought to life at the Hyundai America Technical Center in Irvine, California.

The off-road SUV draws design elements from Hyundai’s Extra Rugged Terrain (XRT) models, such as the IONIQ 5 XRT, Santa Cruz XRT, and the new Pallisade XRT Pro.

Although it’s a concept, Hyundai said the Crater Concept is a testament to its commitment to designing future XRT vehicles that are more functional, more capable, and more emotional.

“CRATER began with a question: ‘What does freedom look like?’ This vehicle stands as our answer,” Hyundai’s global design boss, SangYup Lee said.

The off-road SUV features Hyundai’s new Art of Steel design theme, first showcased on the THREE concept at the Munich Motor Show in September.

Hyundai said the design team was guided by one clear goal: To create a rugged and capable vehicle that’s designed to go anywhere. The Crater Concept embodies that vision with added wide skid plates, 33″ off-road tires, limb risers, rocker panels, and a roof platform.

Hyundai designed the interior for “tech-savvy adventure seekers,” with a singular design centered around a high-brow crash pad that stretches across the dashboard.

The concept also swaps the traditional infotainment setup for a head-up display that spans the entire front window, which Hyundai said includes a live rearview camera.

Hyundai’s off-roader includes a new Off-Road Controller for front and rear locking differentials, as well as a terrain selector with modes including Sand, Snow, and Mud. Other off-road features include downhill brake control, trailer brake control, a compass, and an altimeter.

Although Hyundai said it was electric, it didn’t reveal any further details about the powertrain. The off-road SUV could be a battery-electric or fuel-cell-electric vehicle.

Like the new Nexo, Hyundai’s hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, the concept features “HTWO” lamps exclusive to its FCEVs.

Earlier this week, the design team at Hyundai Design North America also introduced its new design and ideation studio codenamed “The Sandbox.” The creative design studio is set to serve as a global hub for future XRT vehicles and gear.
