Ride1Up Revv1 DRT Off-Road e-bike sitting in grass

Review: Ride1Up’s Revv1 DRT e-bike is a rugged off-roader with plenty of suspension and hidden punch

When it comes to e-bikes, most people’s immediate thought is a commuter model designed to get you through streets to your various destinations, but with Ride1Up’s Revv1 DRT e-bike, the fun is extended (and primarily focused) to off-road adventures, and boy, does this baby have some go in it. It’s been over two years since we reviewed the Revv1 FS counterpart, which we came away quite impressed with its SUPER73-like design. Now we’re heading off the beaten path with this newer off-road variant, which boasts improved specs that outshine its predecessors in the series.

To get our full hands-on impression of this new flagship e-scooter, be sure to check out our review here.

Score $1,600 in exclusive savings on Jackery’s Explorer 3000 v2 (HomePower 3000) LiFePO4 station at a new $899 low

Wellbots is disrupting Jackery’s direct website pricing on its Explorer 3000 v2 (HomePower 3000) Portable Power Station – all with exclusive savings for 9to5Toys readers – that can be yours for $899 shipped, after using the code 9TO5JACK100 at checkout for an additional $100 off. Jackery’s second-generation Explorer 3000 model (hence the v2) hit the market back in May, carrying a $2,499 MSRP that we’ve mostly seen discounted between $1,699 and $1,499 in the months since. The brand’s current Early Prime Day Sale, however, kicked off by dropping the price lower than ever to $999, where the discount here would place costs, were it not for our exclusive code. You’ll be saving a total $1,600 off the going rate here, which beats out all our previous mentions and lands it at a new all-time low price.

Known by dual monikers, the Jackery Explorer 3000 v2/HomePower 3000 power station is a great option for camping/RV lovers who also want a reliable means to power devices/appliances/tools on jobsites or at home, particularly should the grid fail. This is the latest generation that has been upgraded to LiFePO4 batteries, with a 3,072Wh capacity that is supported by an improved battery management system and the brand’s ChargeShield 2.0 protections, which we’ve seen added to all its v2 models. There are 12 output ports (with a TT-30R port for RV support) that deliver up to 3,600W of steady power and can surge up to 7,200W when needed.

You’ll have five primary recharging methods to take advantage of with Jackery’s Explorer 3000 v2, with a standard AC outlet getting the battery back to full in around 2.2 hours, as well as the obvious solar capabilities with a max 1,000W input that would refill the batteries in up to 11 hours. There’s also the new option for a gas generator connection, alongside the on-the-go car auxiliary port compatibility and dual AC/DC charging that only takes up to 1.7 hours.

Heybike’s Hauler cargo e-bike with a 440-pound carrying capacity and multi-battery options hits new lows from $899

As part of its ongoing Prime Fall e-bike Sale, Heybike has dropped several models to returning and new low prices, like the standard Hauler Single-Battery Cargo e-bike at $899 shipped while its dual-battery variant sits a little higher at $1,299 shipped. They would normally go for $1,499 and $1,899 outside of discounts, which is honestly rare, as we usually see them discounted to $1,199 and $1,599, with falls lower during sale events. You’re looking at 40% and 32% markdowns here that are cutting $600 off both tags and landing costs at new all-time lows. You can browse the sale’s entire lineup of deals by checking out our original coverage of the event here.

Through its official Amazon storefront, UGREEN is offering its Nexode 48,000mAh Portable Charger/Power Station back at $101.99 shipped. While this unit does carry a $170 MSRP, it’s been spending the last few months with continuous Prime-exclusive discounting that drops the costs between $120 and $108, with falls to lower rates peppered in once or so a month. Aside from the one-time $100 low that popped up in March, you’re otherwise looking at the best tracked price over the year, with 40% cut from its MSRP for a total of $68 in savings.

The era of cheap Chinese solar + storage is ending – here’s why

The era of cheap Chinese solar + storage is ending – here’s why

Solar and storage prices are about to rise after a year and a half of record lows, according to new data from Wood Mackenzie. Equipment procurement costs for solar and energy storage will jump around 9% starting in Q4 2025, marking the end of the bargain pricing developers have enjoyed for the last 18 months. That’s because China is changing the rules.

Why solar +storage prices are going up

Wood Mackenzie points to three major drivers behind the coming spike:

  • Polysilicon consolidation. China’s polysilicon production exploded between 2022 and 2024, creating a glut and pushing prices to unsustainable lows. But new government guidelines are now forcing producers to slow down, cutting utilization rates to 55-70%. As a result, polysilicon prices surged 48% in September 2025 alone.
  • Production cuts across the value chain. Solar module makers are also reducing operating rates, with major producers running at just 55-60% capacity by mid-2025. Outdated PERC cell lines are being phased out, further shrinking available capacity.
  • The end of China’s export tax rebate. Starting in Q4 2025, China will scrap its 13% VAT export rebate on solar modules and storage systems. This fiscal change will ripple through global pricing since China supplies over 80% of the world’s solar modules and 90% of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs.

That policy shift means developers worldwide will face higher costs. In the US, storage and solar projects relying on Chinese equipment will likely see about a 9% cost increase in Q4. Analysts expect inverters to lose their export rebate soon, too, adding more upward pressure.

From price war to market correction

For the past year and a half, Chinese manufacturers have been selling solar modules and storage systems at rock-bottom prices, trying to move oversupply even while posting losses. Modules hit record lows of $0.07-$0.09 per watt in 2024 and early 2025. But with government intervention, that price war is ending.

“This is about to change,” said Yana Hryshko, senior research analyst and head of Global Solar Supply Chain at Wood Mackenzie. “The Chinese government has intervened to stabilize the market, and developers globally will have to adjust their procurement expectations accordingly.”

Wood Mac says the shift represents a “structural correction” toward sustainable margins, not just a temporary market adjustment. “This shift will ultimately benefit the industry’s long-term health,” said Hryshko. Manufacturers will finally have room to reinvest and innovate, but developers will need to revisit budgets and renegotiate supply deals for production scheduled after November 2025.

Bottom line is, ultra-cheap solar and storage gear is on its way out. The next phase of the energy transition will likely come with higher but more sustainable prices.

Jeep vehicles still qualify for the $7,500 EV credit past the deadline, for now

Jeep vehicles still qualify for the ,500 EV credit past the deadline, for now

Jeep-EV-credit

Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Fiat vehicles will remain eligible for the credit after the deadline expires. Stellantis confirmed it will replicate the offer for EV and PHEV models.

Stellantis extends credit for Jeep EV and PHEV models

Stellantis is looking for a comeback in the US. The company sold 324,825 vehicles under the Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, and Fiat brands in the US in the third quarter, notching its highest monthly market share in 15 months.

Although it currently offers only a few all-electric vehicles, including the Jeep Wagoneer S and Dodge Charger Daytona EV, Stellantis also provides a range of plug-in hybrids (PHEVs).

Through July, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe remained the best-selling PHEV in the US. Stellantis doesn’t provide a breakdown of Wrangler sales by model, but total sales rose 18% in the third quarter to nearly 45,000 units.

Through September, Stellantis has sold over 128,000 Wranglers. Jeep also offers the Grand Cherokee 4xe, another PHEV. The Wagoneer S, Jeep’s first all-electric SUV, racked up 4,163 in sales in the third quarter, bringing its yearly total to 10,426.

To compensate for the loss of the federal tax credit, Stellantis will honor it for EVs and PHEVs. The offer is good on the lease or purchase of a new EV or PHEV, but there’s a catch.

The deal is only for vehicles currently in the dealer’s inventory, meaning it could run out at any point, if it hasn’t already.

Jeep isn’t the only brand, Stellantis is extending the credit to all PHEV and EV models. Dodge offers the electric Charger Daytona BEV and Hornet R/T PHEV. Chrysler only sells one vehicle, the Pacifica minivan, but it is available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. And don’t forget the Alfa Romeo Tonale, the luxury brand’s first PHEV.

All will still be eligible for the credit while inventory lasts. Stellantis follows other automakers, including Ford, GM, and Hyundai, which will continue to offer the EV tax credit beyond the deadline.

96 DC fast chargers are coming to Western Canada’s highways

Wallbox’s Supernova DC fast chargers will power a major new EV charging network across Western Canada.

Public charging network operator SureCharge Corp is rolling out up to 24 high-speed public charging sites with 96 Wallbox Supernova 180 kW DC fast chargers across Alberta and British Columbia. The new network will fill critical charging gaps along key travel corridors, linking northern, central, and southern Alberta with British Columbia.

The initiative is backed by over $4.7 million from the Government of Canada through Natural Resources Canada’s Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program and $400,000 from the Government of British Columbia. SureCharge is leading the project, with SureTek Electric & Technologies, a certified Wallbox partner, handling installation, commissioning, and maintenance.

Each site will feature Wallbox’s 180 kW Supernova fast chargers. The Supernova line aims to keep costs low for operators while ensuring drivers have consistent access to high-speed charging.

SureCharge says the project will connect communities in Western Canada that have never had access to fast chargers. “From the northern stretches of British Columbia to the southern reaches of Alberta, we’re enabling a fast-charging corridor that connects communities across the region,” said Michael Palarchio, SureCharge’s vice-president. “By building a network that’s owned, installed, and maintained by Western Canadians, we’re creating a locally powered solution that works for the people who live, work, and travel here.”

Canadian officials say the project will help ease range anxiety and encourage more people to drive EVs. “With this funding, Canadians traveling on Alberta and British Columbia highways will have access to more EV chargers where they need them most,” said Tim Hodgson, Canada’s minister of energy and natural resources. “These chargers give peace of mind to current EV drivers and help address charging anxiety for those considering an EV purchase.”

The first sites will go live by late 2025 in Red Deer, Lacombe, and Enoch Cree Nation, followed by rapid expansion into Whitecourt, Grande Prairie, Jasper, Fort St. John, Fernie, Edson, and other towns, including Grand Cache, Hinton, Rocky Mountain House, Valleyview, and Diamond Valley.

The project is part of a larger plan to create a long-term, regionwide charging network in partnership with retail, hospitality, and convenience brands committed to sustainable transportation.
