With Father’s Day having past, Green Deals are starting to slow, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a few ongoing discounts worth checking out. Headlining today’s deals is the second-ever discount (twice as big as the first) on Segway’s Navimow H Series Robot Mowers that start from $1,299. They are joined by the leftover Father’s Day sale over at Jackery that is taking up to 42% off power stations, bundles, and accessories – and even offering five chances to win free equipment! There’s also a one-day deal on the popular Worx 7.5-inch 12A Lawn Edger/Trencher that will remain at $100 for the rest of the day. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals that are still alive and well.

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.

Segway’s new Navimow H Series Robot Mowers get second discount to new lows, starting from $1,299

Segway is taking $600 off its new Navimow H Series Robot Mowers starting from $1,299 shipped, after using the on-page promo code CUT$600H at checkout. Fetching $1,899, $2,199, and $2,599 respectively since their release in March, this is the second official discount we have tracked on these brand new smart lawncare solutions, saving you $600 (twice as much as its first discounts at the top of the month) and landing at a new all-time low across the board for each. It even matches the deals over at Amazon, where all three models are receiving the same $600 discount.

Segway’s Navimow H series of robot mowers has three options to choose from: a 0.2-acre model with a 180-minute battery life on a single charge, as well as a 0.37-acre model and a 0.74-acre model that both offer an extended 240 minutes of battery life. All three provide the same cutting height range of 1.2 inches to 2.4 inches, handle up to 24-degree slopes, plus they each boast an IP66 waterproof rating that combats adverse weather conditions.

A standout upgrade with the Navimow H Series models is the tossing out of any perimeter wires in favor of RTK positioning, coupled with a VisionFence Sensor, for superior navigation and obstacle avoidance. You’ll have the typical smart controls of course, to overwrite and adjust settings, schedules, performance – but you’ll also have the freedom to forget about it and let it just do its thing – returning itself to its charging station when too low on power and picking up where it left off once recharged. It accomplishes all this thanks to the guidance of Global Navigation Satellite Systems that keep it within the boundaries you set and also track it down if it gets hung up on some terrain or even stolen off the property. Head below for more.

Segway does have a more affordable robot mowing option in the Navimow i Series, which start from $999 (matching the price over at Amazon) and unfortunately do not benefit from any discounts like the above models. You have only two options here, either the 1/8-acre yard model or the 1/4-acre yard model, with both providing most of the same smart functionality, RTK navigation, and obstacle avoidance. You can get the full rundown in our announcement coverage from earlier this year.

Jackery Father's Day sale takes 42% off power stations, bundles, and accessories - within post for Segway Navimow H Series Robot Mowers

Jackery power stations, bundles, and accessories are 42% off during ongoing sales – with chances to win free equipment!

Jackery has ongoing Father’s Day sales through June 21 that is taking up to 42% off a collection of power stations, bundles, and accessories, like the Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station with two 200W Solar Panels for $2,399 shipped, after using the on-page promo code DAD900 at checkout. Down from its regular $3,299 price tag, we’ve mainly been seeing this particular combo drop around $2,699 during most sales since the new year began, with things changing for the first time last month during Memorial Day sales when it hit the $2,399 low. That deal is being repeated here during this sale as a 27% markdown that saves you $900 and returns costs to the all-time lowest we have tracked. If you just want the power station by itself, it is currently discounted to $1,699, after using the on-page promo code DAD500 at checkout.

Boasting a 2,042.8Wh capacity, this power station offers massive expansion possibilities for your campsite, Nomad setup, or even home backup power. It can support up to five expandable batteries that bumps its capacity to 12,000Wh, or you could connect two Explorer 2000 Plus stations together, each with five batteries, and further increase the capacity to 24,000Wh. With a max solar input of 1,200W, this station can be fully charged in up to two hours by connecting it to six SolarSaga 200W panels or via wall outlet (this does not account for any expandable combinations you may be using). You’ll have 10 output ports to cover devices and appliances (five ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, and one car port), plus complete control to monitor and adjust settings through the Jackery app via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

There are also two bundle offers for the Explorer 2000 Plus that are worth considering – especially if you’re planning to utilize its expandable capacity. First, you can grab the power station and solar panels along with one expandable battery for $3,599, after using the on-page promo code DAD1400 at checkout, doubling its initial capacity to 4,085.6Wh. Next, you can go one step further by adding a second expandable battery to the bundle and bumping the capacity up to 6,128.4Wh for $4,399, after using the on-page promo code DAD2100 at checkout.

Worx 7.5-inch 12A lawn edger within post for Segway Navimow H series robot mowers

Worx’s 7.5-inch 12A Lawn Edger/Trencher keeps yards shaped up with clean lines at $100 for today only

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Worx 7.5-inch 12A Lawn Edger/Trencher for $99.99 shipped. Normally going for $130, it’s seen five discounts since the new year began, starting at $97 in February, followed by three periods at $99, and a drop further to the 2024 $94 low ahead of Father’s Day sales. Today’s deal comes in as the fourth-lowest price we have tracked, amounting to a 23% markdown that still takes off a solid $30 from the price tag, and even beats out Amazon’s current pricing.

This corded edger/trencher by Worx utilizes a 12A motor in order to spin its 7.5-inch blade up to 4,700 RPMs for more professional lines and edges around your lawn and/or property. There are three adjustable depths to choose from here, either 1-inch, 1-1/4-inch, or 1-1/2 inch, plus it has a cutting line indicator to guide you along the straight and narrow paths. Its shaft also sports an adjustable design for more comfortable use regardless of anyone’s height, and with it being a corded model, you won’t have to worry about recharging batteries before or after its use either.

If you were actually hoping for a cordless model, Amazon is currently offering the Worx GT Revolution 20V 12-inch String Trimmer/Edger/Mini-Mower for $99, down from $120. With this three-in-one device that can top out at 7,600 RPMs, you’ll have everything you need to clean up and highlight your yard’s beauty. It has seven handle adjustment options for added comfort while the six rotating head settings offer added flexibility.

Summer e-bike deals!

U.S. crude oil falls below a barrel to lowest since 2021 on tariff-fueled recession fears

U.S. oil prices dropped below $60 a barrel on Sunday on fears President Donald Trump’s global tariffs would push the U.S., and maybe the world, into a recession.

Futures tied to U.S. West Texas intermediate crude fell more than 3% to $59.74 on Sunday night. The move comes after back-to-back 6% declines last week. WTI is now at the lowest since April 2021.

Worries are mounting that tariffs could lead to higher prices for businesses, which could lead to a slowdown in economic activity that would ultimately hurt demand for oil.

Oil futures, 5 years

The tariffs, which are set to take effect this week, “would likely push the U.S. and possibly global economy into recession this year,” according to JPMorgan. The firm on Thursday raised its odds of a recession this year to 60% following the tariff rollout, up from 40%.

What EV sales slump? Illinois’ EV sales outpace the nation by 4:1

What EV sales slump? Illinois' EV sales outpace the nation by 4:1

Chicago Drives Electric | ComEd Press Conference

Fueled by incentives from the Illinois EPA and the state’s largest utility company, new EV registrations nearly quadrupled the 12% first-quarter increase in EV registrations nationally – and there are no signs the state is slowing down.

Despite the dramatic slowdown of Tesla’s US deliveries, sales of electric vehicles overall have perked up in recent months, with Illinois’ EV adoption rate well above the Q1 uptick nationally. Crain’s Chicago Business reports that the number of new EVs registered across the state totaled 9,821 January through March, compared with “just” 6,535 EVs registered in the state during the same period in 2024.

Those numbers represent more than 50% growth in EV registrations – far beyond the expected 12% first-quarter increase nationally being projected by Cox Automotive. (!)

What’s going on in Illinois?

While President Trump and Elmo were running for re-election, they campaigned on the threat promise of canceling the $7,500 federal tax credit for EVs. Along with California Governor Gavin Newsom, Illinois’ Governor JB Pritzker made countermoves – launching a $4,000 rebate for new electric cars and up to $1,500 for the purchase of a new electric motorcycle.

At the same time, the state’s largest utility, ComEd, launched a $90 million EV incentive program featuring a new Point of Purchase initiative to deliver instant discounts to qualifying business and public sector customers who make the switch to electric vehicles. That program has driven a surge in Class 3-6 medium duty commercial EVs, which are eligible fro $20-30,000 in utility rebates on top of federal tax credits and other incentives (Class 1-2 EVs are eligible for up to $7,500).

We covered the launch of those incentives when the program was announced at Chicago Drives Electric last year, but the message here is simple: incentives work.

XCMG launches XE215EV battery swap electric excavator ahead of bauma

XCMG launches XE215EV battery swap electric excavator ahead of bauma

he XE215EV, XCMG’s fully electric hydraulic excavator, powers a new materials processing base in Guangxi with its green energy.

The electric construction equipment experts at XCMG just released a new, 25 ton electric crawler excavator ahead of bauma 2025 – and they have their eye on the global urban construction, mine operations, and logistical material handling markets.

Powered by a high-capacity 400 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery capable of delivering up to 8 hours of continuous operation, the XE215EV electric excavator promises uninterrupted operation at a lower cost of ownership and with even less downtime than its diesel counterparts.

XCMG is delivering on part of that reduced downtime promise with the lower maintenance and easier repair needs of electric equipment, and delivering on the rest of it with lickety-quick DC fast charging that can recharge the machine’s massive battery in 1.5-2 hours … but that’s not the slick bit. The XCMG XE125EV can be powered up without leaving the job site thanks to its BYD battery swap technology.

We first covered XCMG and its battery swap technology back in January, and covered similar battery-swap tech being developed by MOOG Construction offshoot ZQUIP, as well – but while XCMG’s battery tech has been in production for several years, it’s still not widely known about in the West (even within the industry).

XCMG showed off its latest electric equipment at the December 2024 bauma China, including an updated version of its of its 85-ton autonomous electric mining truck that features a fully cab-less design – meaning there isn’t even a place for an operator to sit, let alone operate. And that’s too bad, because what operator wouldn’t want to experience an electric truck putting down 1070 hp more than 16,000 lb-ft of torque!?

Easy in, easy out

The best part? All of the company’s heavy equipment assets – from excavators to terminal tractors to dump trucks and wheel loaders – all use the same 400 kWh BYD battery packs, Milwaukee tool style. That means an equipment fleet can utilize x number of vehicles with a fraction of the total battery capacity and material needs of other asset brands. That’s not just a smart use of limited materials, it’s a smarter use of energy.

You can check out all the XE215EV’s specs at this tear sheet, and get an in-person look at the Chinese company’s latest electric excavator this week in Munich, Germany.
