Save up to $803 on Blix e-bike bundles starting from $1,499 during 4th of July sales

Blix Bikes has launched its 4th of July sale that is taking up to $500 off its e-bike lineup while also giving you up to $303 in free add-on accessories. One of the notable standouts during this sale, is the Sol Eclipse Cruiser e-bike for $1,499 shipped. Normally fetching $1,899, we usually see this model cut down to $1,699 or more regularly $1,599 during most sales events. In the last year alone, we have only tracked it dropping to $1,499 during April’s spring sale, when it even beat out its Black Friday and Christmas sale rates by $100. Today’s deal is a surprise repeat of April’s savings, giving you a solid $400 markdown on top of three handy accessories – fenders for both tires, a rear-mountable cargo rack, and a front basket, all valued at $207 – for a grand total of $607 in savings. Blix also offers an extra $200 off any purchase of any two e-bikes by using the promo code RIDETOGETHER at checkout.

Blix’s Sol Eclipse Cruiser e-bike arrives sporting a slim and colorful beach cruiser design, with a 750W rear hub motor supported by the 614Wh capacity battery that both allow it to hit top speeds of 20 MPH for up to 45 miles on a single charge. It has five levels of pedal assistance watched over by the 12-magnet cadence sensor, as well as a throttle for pure electric action. Other features include a LED headlight, 27.5-inch by 2.4-inch puncture-resistant tires, mechanical disc brakes, a Shimano 7-speed derailleur, and an LCD display for real-time performance data and setting adjustments that also has a USB port to charge your devices as you ride. Plus, don’t forget the fenders, cargo rack, and front basket that quickly and easily attach to its modular design elements for a more enhanced ride.

Samsung Bespoke all-in-one smart electric washer and ventless dryer within post for Blix 4th of July sale

Samsung’s Bespoke all-in-one smart electric washer and ventless dryer at new lows starting from $1,600

Best Buy is offering the Samsung Bespoke AI All-in-One 5.3 cubic-foot Ultra Capacity Washer and Ventless Heat Pump Dryer for $1,999.99 shipped, with an included $150 Best Buy gift card along with your purchase. Down from its $2,800 list price, with an even greater $3,339 MSRP direct from Samsung, this is one of the best deals we’ve seen for this eco-friendly washer/dryer combo, currently beaten by a parallel deal for Costco members only that is offering the unit at $1,600. Anyone can benefit from the Best Buy deal though, which ultimately costs you $1,850 thanks to the gift card’s extra $150 in savings that you can use on future purchases. You’ll also find this unit available direct from Samsung at $1,999, with extra savings offers available. These are the three best rates that we have tracked, all of which beat our previous mention from May by at least $199 (technically $349 with the gift card).

This ENERGY STAR certified combination washer/dryer unit arrives sporting a sleek look and AI-supported functionality that makes laundry routines far less of a hassle than standard models. Alongside the smart controls you’ll get via the companion app, this appliance features AI OptiWash and AI Optimal Dry, which can not only detect the fabric types and their soil levels placed inside, but also adjust settings as needed during the cycles – saving you the headache of memorizing what cycle and settings are most desirable for particular articles of clothes.

It also boasts a large detergent tank that can hold and dispense up to 47 loads of detergent, or, by using the Flex One compartment, you can dispense 25 loads of detergent alongside 34 loads of softener. Regardless which way you choose, you won’t have to worry about refilling it before every new load – just throw in your clothes and go! One of its standout features that makes this an amazing upgrade to your home, is its ventless design that not only lets you install it anywhere that fits your convenience (and not just your home’s pre-determined layout), but its dual inverter heat pump technology makes it far more energy efficient than most other models, plus – working with its AI, the system can predict electricity costs and “reduce energy usage by up to 19%.”

Usually going for $1,000, since the new year began we’ve been seeing semi-regular discounts on this model during most sales events, often cutting costs down around $750, with occasional drops further to $700. Today’s deal comes in as a surprise 34% markdown that is taking savings further than ever before and landing it at the lowest price we have tracked.

The Hiboy MAX Pro Electric Scooter arrives equipped with a 650W motor alongside a 48V battery that will carry you up to max speeds of 22 MPH for up to 46.6 miles on a single charge. It has three riding modes to choose from (sport, drive, eco), with additional settings for customizable cruise controls as well, which is nice on those longer commutes with plenty of straightaways and open road. It also comes jam-packed with features like 11-inch pneumatic tires, both e-brakes and disc brakes, an LED headlight, sidelights, and a taillight, dual suspension, smart controls via the Hiboy app – including lock controls for security, a one-click folding design, and an integrated digital display for real-time data and setting adjustments.

Kempower, Proviridis partner on novel electric semi truck charging solution

Kempower, Proviridis partner on novel electric semi truck charging solution

French infrastructure specialists Proviridis have partnered with EVSE manufacturer Kempower to deliver a novel, underground charging solution for electric semi trucks designed to easily integrate into existing truck depots.

By installing its high-powered charging cabinets underground and integrating the charging cables into a solid metal pipe, Kempower and Proviridis have been able to make room for high-powered charging points in an existing truck depot that didn’t have enough space to install either conventional EVSE or overhead “drop lines.”

For the pilot, the metal pipe is painted in a striking yellow color to make it easier to see while maneuvering the lot, and keeping the dispensers themselves more protected than conventional concrete bollards. The 600 kW power cabinet is positioned a few yards away – a typical space-saving Kempower solution – and connected to the charge points by underground cable.

Proviridis believes their solution provides enough of a competitive advantage that fleet buyers looking to electrify will be eager to give it a try.

“The product is durable across a wide spectrum of temperatures and conditions, requires minimal ventilation, and can cater for a wide range of customer needs,” explains Olivier Verdu, Technical Director at Proviridis. “These are features which perfectly place the Kempower solution for this type of charging configuration in a logistics environment.”

Electrek’s Take

While traditional charging equipment can cause up to 20% of an existing truck depot’s parking capacity to be lost, the Kempower products have already gained recognition for the efficient size footprint of its overground Satellites. If this underground version proves to be even better, you can expect to see a lot more Kempower installations near you.

It begins: Mercedes eActros 600 electric semi truck enters production

It begins: Mercedes eActros 600 electric semi truck enters production

With up to 500 km (310 miles) of all-electric range, the new Mercedes eActros 600 electric semi truck was designed for long-haul trucking – and now, it’s officially in production at the company’s Wörth plant in Bavaria.

The electrification of Daimler Truck’s Mercedes line is progressing nicely, with the eActros 300 and 400 models handling drayage and short-haul duties, and the eEconic seeing duty in waste disposal and airport refueling. The addition of the new 600 model expands on that work with a truly capable long-haul solution that will help Mercedes’ customers clean up their operations.

“The start of series production of our eActros 600 is a further proof of our ambition to transform the industry,” offers Karin Rådström, CEO of Daimler Truck. “With a range of 500 kilometers on a single battery charge, our eActros 600 is addressing the long-haul segment in Europe which is responsible for two-thirds of CO2 emissions from heavy road freight. Our battery-electric long-haul truck will therefore make a real difference.”

In addition to the 600’s additional range, the newest eActros marks another milestone by becoming the first electric Mercedes semi to be manufactured on a single line (the eActros 300/400 and eEconic leave their standard production lines to have their electric drive components installed at Mercedes’ Future Truck Center in Wörth).

“With the start of series production of the eActros 600, we are expanding our Wörth product portfolio with an important vehicle for the future,” says Andreas Bachhofer, Head of the Wörth site and Production at Mercedes-Benz Trucks. “Construction of this first battery-electric truck made in Wörth will be fully integrated into the existing assembly hall, flexibly alongside the manufacturing of combustion-engine trucks. This means that we are ideally positioned for the production of larger quantities. Our production team is well prepared for the successive ramp-up over the coming months.”

The new electric semi truck features a 600+ kWh battery (hence, eActros 600) that sends power to a new, highly efficient electric drive axle developed in-house by Mercedes-Benz, good enough to “be able to travel significantly more than 1,000 kilometers per day. This is made possible by intermediate charging during the legally prescribed driver breaks – even without megawatt-charging.”

The company claims the massive, 600 kWh battery in the eActros can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes at a megawatt charging station, which will soon (?) be available across Europe. First deliveries of the new 600 series Mercedes electric semi trucks are expected to begin Q1 of 2025, with production ramping up to full speed soon after.

Electrek’s Take

Holcim, a global leader in building materials and solutions, has recently made a significant commitment to sustainability by placing a purchase order for 1,000 Mercedes electric semi trucks.

Electric semi trucks are racking up millions of miles as more and more pilot programs being to pay off, leading to more orders for battery electric trucks and more reductions in both diesel demand and harmful carbon emissions. We can’t wait to see more.
