Where yesterday’s Green Deals were Anker-heavy, we’re closing out this week with this EcoFlow-heavy edition, led by the brand’s Halloween Sale that is continuing early Prime Day pricing with up to 65% discounts, bonus sitewide savings, free gifts, and more. Among the condensed lineup, you can grab the DELTA Pro Portable Power Station with two 220W solar panels and a free protective bag at $1,709. There’s also the brand’s 48-hour flash sale of up to 62% discounts on four offers, like the RIVER 2 Portable Power Station at $179. From there, we also have a spotlight on Lectric’s XPress 750 Long-Range Commuter e-bikes getting up to $542 in free gear and mystery gifts at $1,299, as well as a $950 discount on Vanpower’s City Vanture e-bike, a 2-in-1 Greenworks combo tool low, a 43-gallon composting tumbler, and more waiting for you below. And don’t forget about the hangover deals that are collected together at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s full Lectric Spooky Sale lineup with up to $762+ savings, the 10 exclusive refurbished Anker SOLIX deals, 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.

EcoFlow’s Halloween Sale continues up to 65% discounts with bonus savings, free gifts, more – all starting from $149

EcoFlow has launched its Halloween Sale that is only running for a week (but might be extended), which is bringing back the next-best early Prime Day rates at up to 65% off alongside some new units, complete with bonus sitewide savings, a FREE gift after spending $2,000, a promotion to score an additional 10% off code, and even a three-hour-only flash sale on a number of units at midnight on October 19. Among the smaller collection of deals we’re seeing, a great tried-and-true option is the DELTA Pro Portable Power Station bundled with two 220W solar panels and a FREE protective bag for $1,709.05 shipped, after using the sitewide code 25EFHWAFF at checkout for an extra 5% off, which beats Amazon’s pricing by $190 (and doesn’t include the FREE bag). Carrying a $5,199 MSRP, but more often keeping down around $3,999 on average, we saw the brand’s Prime Day sale drop this bundle to its $1,699 low, with things today sitting only $10 above that rate, giving you the second-lowest price we have tracked. Head below for more on this and the rest of the deals we’re seeing during this sale.

As I mentioned, EcoFlow’s Halloween Sale is offering a nice little collection of promotions (and more) during this sale. The first, of course, is the extra 5% sitewide savings you’ll score by using the code 25EFHWAFF at checkout. From there, the brand is offering members a chance to unlock a 10% discount code by checking in for five days straight on the sale’s main page. Next, orders that reach $2,000 will also be given a FREE 220W solar panel. Lastly, when the clock ticks over to midnight on October 19, you’ll have only three hours to take advantage of the flash offers that are located at the bottom of the sale page (and currently locked).

One of the most highly rated legacy backup power companions, EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro power station covers short-term off-grid living (more so with the solar panels bundled) and emergency blackouts alike, all with a starting 3,600Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can be expanded upwards to 25kWh over time with further investments.

It boasts a robust array of 14 output ports to cover devices and appliances, delivering a steady stream of power up to 3,600W, with the ability to surge higher to 7,200W, if needed. There are three primary ways to recharge its battery: plugging into a standard AC outlet or your car’s auxiliary/cigarette lighter port as you drive, as well as utilizing up to its 1,600W solar input maximum.

***Note: None of the following prices have had the extra 5% or 10% codes applied, so be sure to use 25EFHWAFF at checkout, or the 10% code if unlocked, to score the very best deals during this sale.

As I mentioned, be sure to check back at midnight, October 19, for those three-hour flash offers. And right now, you can find the EcoFlow offering a 48-hour flash sale with four units on the Halloween Sale’s main landing page here. You can also check out our coverage of how to score $1,000 off EcoFlow’s upcoming DELTA Pro Ultra X Power Station ahead of its launch on November 3.

Get up to $542 in FREE gear with Lectric’s XPress 750 long-range commuter e-bike at $1,299

Looking back in on Lectric’s ongoing Spooky Sale, which is offering up to $762 in FREE gear with e-bike purchases along with select mystery gifts, we noticed a great chance to pick up the popular XPress 750 Long-Range Step-Thru Commuter e-bike getting a $439 bundle at $1,299 shipped, while the step-over model gets a slightly smaller $404 bundle at the same price – and both getting mystery gifts. These packages at full price would cost you $1,738 and $1,703 without the discounts on the bundled gear, which beats out both the Prime Day Sales’ bundle sizes from July and last week. Those bundles provide you with a rear cargo rack, a fender set, a suspension seatpost, and an Elite headlight upgrade – with the difference being in the mystery gift amounts ($103 vs. $68).

Save up to 62% on two EcoFlow power stations and/or two accessories for 48 hours starting from $179

As part of EcoFlow’s ongoing Halloween Sale, the brand is offering 48-hour flash savings on four units – two power stations and two accessories – all at up to 62% off. Among the lineup, you’ll find the more compact RIVER 2 Portable Power Station down at $179 shipped, beating out its Amazon pricing by $10. Normally $239 when at full price, we saw this same rate pop up for a few days during last week’s Prime event, with the brand providing another opportunity here while the flash savings last. While we have seen the price go lower in the past, you’re looking at the best rate tracked since May, cutting $60 off the going rate and giving you a compact companion for powering devices while away from home or civilization. Head below for more on this station and the other flash offers.

Get up to 50 miles of pedal-assisted commuting support with Vanpower’s City Vanture e-bike at $799 (Save $950)

Vanpowers is bringing back an earlier fall promotion on its City Vanture Urban Commuter e-bike at $799 shipped, after using the code VANVIP at checkout. The price here starts with a cut from $1,749 to $1,099, which gets an additional $300 savings thanks to the code, which is a repeat combo discount that we last saw at the top of September. All-in-all, you’re getting a $950 markdown that drops things to the best price directly from the brand, which has only been beaten by a one-time exclusive Wellbots deal from January.

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

Greenworks 2-in-1 24V cordless pole saw and pole hedge trimmer combo with battery and charger

Get 2-in-1 functionality with Greenworks’ 24V cordless pole saw and pole hedge trimmer at a $200 low

At Amazon, you can pick up a newer generation of the Greenworks 24V 10-inch Cordless Polesaw and Pole Hedge Trimmer Combo with 4.0Ah battery for $199.99 shipped, which matches in price directly from the brand’s website. It’s coming down from $261 here ($300 MSRP direct from the brand), with discounts through mid-June having taken things down to this same low rate before only dropping costs as low as $242 in the time since. The deal here gives you a $61 markdown that returns the price to the lowest we have tracked for the fourth time this year.

First Solar opens a Louisiana factory that’s 11 Superdomes big

First Solar opens a Louisiana factory that’s 11 Superdomes big

First Solar just cut the ribbon on a huge new factory in Iberia Parish, Louisiana, and it dwarfs the New Orleans Superdome. The company’s $1.1 billion, fully vertically integrated facility spans 2.4 million square feet, or about 11 times the size of the stadium’s main arena.

The factory began production quietly in July, a few months ahead of schedule, and employs more than 700 people. First Solar expects that number to hit 826 by the end of the year. Once it’s fully online, the site will add 3.5 GW of annual manufacturing capacity. That brings the company’s total US footprint to 14 GW in 2026 and 17.7 GW in 2027, when its newly announced South Carolina plant is anticipated to come online.

The Louisiana plant produces First Solar’s Series 7 modules using US-made materials — glass from Illinois and Ohio, and steel from Mississippi, which is fabricated into backrails in Louisiana.

The new factory leans heavily on AI, from computer vision that spots defects on the line to deep learning tools that help technicians make real‑time adjustments.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry says the investment is already a win for the region, bringing in “hundreds of good-paying jobs and new opportunities for Louisiana workers and businesses.” A new economic impact analysis from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette projects that the factory will boost Iberia Parish’s GDP by 4.4% in its first full year at capacity. The average manufacturing compensation package comes in at around $90,000, more than triple the parish’s per capita income.

First Solar CEO Mark Widmar framed the new facility as a major step for US clean energy manufacturing: “By competitively producing energy technology in America with American materials, while creating American jobs, we’re demonstrating that US reindustrialization isn’t just a thesis, it’s an operating reality.”

This site joins what’s already the largest solar manufacturing and R&D footprint in the Western Hemisphere: three factories in Ohio, one in Alabama, and R&D centers in Ohio and California. Just last week, First Solar announced a new production line in Gaffney, South Carolina, to onshore more Series 6 module work. By the end of 2026, the company expects to directly employ more than 5,500 people across the US.

Chevy previews a sporty new EV, but will it actually come to life?

Chevy previews a sporty new EV, but will it actually come to life?

Chevy-sporty-new-EV

No, it’s not the new Bolt. GM’s design team previewed a new high-riding “sporty Chevrolet EV” that should be brought to life.

Is Chevy launching a new sporty EV?

This is the all-electric vehicle Chevy should sell in the US. General Motors’ design team released a series of sketches previewing a sporty new Chevy EV.

Although it kinda looks like the new 2027 Chevy Bolt EV as a higher-sitting compact crossover SUV, the design offers a fresh take on what it should have looked like.

The new Bolt is essentially a modernized version of the outgoing EUV model with a similar compact crossover silhouette. Nissan adopted a similar style with the new 2026 LEAF as buyers continue shifting from smaller sedans and hatchbacks to crossovers and SUVs.

Will we see the sporty Chevy EV in real life? It’s not likely. For one, the “exploration sketch” is by GM China Advanced designer Charles Huang.

GM Design posted the sketches on its global social media page, but the caption read “Sporty Chevrolet EV for the China Market.”

It’s too bad. The Bolt could use a sporty sibling like an SS variant. Chevy introduced the Blazer EV SS (check out our review) for the 2026 model year, its fastest “SS” model yet. Packing up to 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, the Chevy Blazer SS can race from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds when using Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode.

Will the Bolt be next? I wouldn’t get my hopes up. And if GM does bring the sporty Chevy EV to life, it will likely only be sold in China. Like all the fun cars these days.

What do you think of the design? Would you buy one of these in the US? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

While deliveries of the 2027 Bolt are set to begin in early 2026, Chevy is offering some sweet deals on its current EV lineup, including up to $4,000 off in Customer Cash and 0% APR financing for 60 months.
