Upgrade your laundry game with GE’s electric 2-in-1 washer & ventless heat pump dryer at $2,000

With early Prime Day pricing already being seen across various marketplaces, Best Buy is getting in on the action by dropping the price on the GE Profile 4.8 cu. ft. UltraFast Electric 2-in-1 Washer & Dryer with Ventless Heat Pump for $1,999.99 shipped. Usually fetching $2,900 most days, this ENERGY STAR-certified appliance hasn’t seen very many discounts over 2024. We saw it hit its $1,749 low earlier in the year, but it’s mainly been spending the time since keeping above $2,200. Today though, you can upgrade your home’s laundry setup with a solid $900 markdown that drops costs down to the third-lowest price that we have tracked. It’s even coming in at almost $200 under GE’s own website where it’s listed for a higher $2,199 rate. For bargain hunters out there who might want to find a good used option to save extra cash, Best Buy is also offering open-box discounts on this model in excellent condition to $1,700.

My girlfriend’s parents have this GE electric 2-in-1 washer & dryer in their home, which we use regularly when we visit, primarily for the benefits it gives pet owners thanks to one of its latest software updates. With cat allergies rampant in their family (and us with two), this update has proved to help with all the shed hair and dander as the airflow system now separates it from our clothing before the wash cycle and collects it in the EZ Access lint filter. It has a condensed design that gives you both functions in one space-saving unit, able to complete both washing and drying a large capacity load of laundry in just 2 hours, making transfers a thing of the past.

The electric 2-in-1 washer & dryer’s ventless heat pump technology, aside from “providing 50% more energy efficient airflow drying,” also allows you to reconfigure your laundry setup to regain space or you can move it to a new location instead, as you’ll no longer be dictated by vent constraints. It also boasts a complete array of smart features to make life that much easier, updating itself regularly when connected to your home’s Wi-Fi while also providing status alerts and remote controls over its settings through the SmartHQ app.

Another standout feature here is the SmartDispense tech that holds enough detergent and fabric softener for up to 32 loads before needing a refill – plus, you can scan the barcode on the detergent bottle in order for the machine’s AI to adjust dispensed amounts based on the detergent brand and the load size. Head below to learn more.

Aventon takes up to $500 off e-bikes and accessories/extra battery bundles starting from $999

Aventon’s latest sale is taking $200 off a selection of its e-bikes, which is becoming less frequent for the brand since tariffs were introduced over the summer, as well as a model-specific free extra battery offer and discounts across its add-on accessories. One of the best bang-for-your-buck options for commuters is the Pace 500.3 e-bike for $1,799 which comes with a free extra battery for a 120-mile range, but the standout is once again the Soltera.2 Commuter e-bike that is back down at $999 from its $1,199 price tag. While we did see this model go as low as $799 in Memorial Day sales, since the summer (again, tariffs) it hasn’t gone lower than $999. Still, this is the second-best rate we’ve seen overall, which still comes in well below most other affordable models with equal quality that are on the market, especially for folks living in more urban environments and apartment settings.

Aventon’s Soltera.2 e-bike cruises onto the scene at a top speed of 20 MPH, and comes built with the brand’s usual levels of durability, reliability, and affordability in mind – plus, the whole thing only weighs 46 pounds and boasts a 300-pound payload. The ergonomic frame houses a 9.6Ah battery that powers the 350W brushless rear-hub motor, with the whole system supported by four different levels of pedal assistance – Eco, Tour, Sport, and Turbo – that allow it to travel up to 46 miles on a single charge. It’s even been updated from past models with a torque sensor (which we love to see), giving it a much smoother ride. There’s also a throttle for pure electric action, though keep in mind this will shorten the travel distance.

It comes with a few key add-on upgrades for a more enhanced experience, while still keeping itself lightweight and easier to handle in urban settings, like the backlit LCD display that has a hidden USB port to charge your smartphone as you ride (especially if using it as a GPS). There are also front and rear integrated lights with turn signal functionality here, as well as a 7-speed Shimano derailleur and 700c x 38c Kenda tires.

More Aventon e-bike discounts:

Aventon Bundle deals:

  • Pace 500.3 Cruiser e-bike: $1,799
    • 28 MPH for up to 60 miles (120 miles with extra battery)
  • Pace 500.3 Step-Through e-bike: $1,799

Jackery Prime sale

Jackery’s Prime sale drops 2024 LiFePO4 Explorer 1000 v2 power station to new $549 low

Swinging back over to Jackery’s Prime Big Deal Days sale that is taking up to 50% off power stations, bundles, and accessories through October 7, we spotted a great deal for campers and travelers in the Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station that is now down at $549 shipped. Normally priced at $799 since it first hit the market in May, we’ve mainly seen it keeping above $679 in the time since, with a few weekend flash sales taking costs further to the former $599 low more recently. With the company offering its Prime Day pricing ahead of Amazon’s 2-day event, you now have the chance to score the unit with a larger-than-ever $250 markdown that lands it at a new all-time low price. You’ll also find a bundle option to get the power station with a 200W solar panel for $799, down from $1,299.

With its newer Explorer 1000 v2 power station, Jackery has upgraded to a 1,070Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity (from its predecessor’s 1,002Wh) that offers better efficiency and performance at lower charge levels. Its power output has also been bumped up from 1,000W to 1,500W to cover a wider array of appliances that you’d likely be taking with you on your trips. Charging times have also been improved with this model, as a wall outlet can completely refuel the battery in just 1.6 hours while solar charging with a maximum 600W input takes only 3 hours (as opposed to the 7.5 hours through a 180W solar input).

There’s an emergency charging feature with this model, activated through the companion app, that will allow last-minute charges to a full battery in one hour via a wall outlet, which definitely takes some added stress off last-minute plans or sudden weather warnings. It has also been given the next generation of Chargeshield 2.0 that provides a whopping 62 forms of all-round protection, so don’t worry about accidental surges from storms, sudden outages, and so on. It has seven output ports for your charging needs: three ACs, two USB-Cs, one USB-A, and one car port.

Lectric ONE

Lectric’s ONE long-range e-bike gets price cut and $220 in free gear for a $2,199 low

Alongside its latest sale changeup that has given the XPeak off-road e-bike an extra battery bundle, Lectric has also just cut $100 off its ONE Long-Range e-bike, along with giving you $220 in free gear, all for $2,199 shipped. This bundle would normally cost you $2,519 in full (with the gear and at full price for $2,299), with the usual trend in this brand’s sales being the savings coming from the bundled items along with your purchase. We first saw this price during the bike’s pre-order launch, bumping up to $2,299 over the summer, with a few previous sales that lowered the rate for a short period. It’s coming back again this time around, giving you some cash savings along with the included rear cargo rack and fenders that can be added on.

The ONE e-bike is Lectric’s premium e-commuter that has been stocked with some unexpected high-quality parts, including the Pinion auto-shifting electric gearbox and a carbon fiber-reinforced drive belt. Its durable frame houses a 750W rear hub motor (peaking at 1,310W) that can top out at 28 MPH if you live in a state whose laws permit such speeds, with the 48V 14Ah battery providing a nice 60-mile travel range. Riders are also supported by five levels of PWR pedal assistance with 96 magnet cadence sensors to better shorten the time between your efforts and the system kicking in to help.

It also arrives sporting a 24A potted motor controller that offers superior peaks of power to its maximum output when bursts of speed are needed while riding up inclines, for example. Like the other models under the brand, it also has a thumb throttle for when you don’t want to put any effort into it yourself, at the cost of traveling distance. There’s also 20-inch puncture-resistant city tires that have been designed to take hits and keep going, an integrated LED headlight and taillight, hydraulic mineral oil brakes, hidden cable routing, a kickstand, and a new color LCD display.

Be sure to check out the extra battery bundle on Lectric’s XPeak off-road e-bike, as well as all the other bundle deals during this fall sale that you can find on the landing page here.

push mower

Greenworks 80V 21-inch cordless electric push mower with two 2.0Ah batteries falls to $375

Amazon is offering the Greenworks 80V 21-inch Cordless Electric Push Lawn Mower with two 2.0Ah batteries for $374.47 shipped. This combination of mower and batteries would normally cost you $500 at full price, with the usual discounts we’ve seen in 2024 bringing costs down between $385 and $400 on average, and a few that have taken things further to $375. Today, you’re looking at a solid $125 markdown that lands it at the second-lowest price we have tracked – sitting just $5 above the $369 low from 2022.

Powered by the two included 2.0Ah batteries, this mower from Greenworks sports an 80V trubrushless motor that provides 60 minutes of continuous runtime on a single charge. There’s also one of the company’s rapid chargers thrown in to get the batteries back to full in just 30 minutes too. It’s all housed within the 21-inch deck that allows for easier maneuvering around your yard, delivering five levels of cutting height adjustment. Aside from the foldable handles that allow for easier storage, it also has a 3-in-1 design that allows for more versatility: you can either have the clippings sent into the rear bag, mulch it, or have it discharged out the side. It starts up at a simple press of the button to do away with the nightmares of pull strings – plus, it operates at quieter levels while also doing away with the fumes of gas-guzzling models.

Audi Concept C: a radical new style that may preview a new electric TT drop top sports car

Audi Concept C: a radical new style that may preview a new electric TT drop top sports car

Audi has unveiled the Audi Concept C, an all-electric two-seat roadster that aims to redefine the brand’s design language, and which could also preview an upcoming electric TT sports car successor.

Radical Simplicity in Motion

Unveiled in Milan on 2 September 2025, this concept signals Audi’s shift into sleek, minimalist clarity.

From every angle, the Concept C embodies what Audi now calls “radical simplicity”, a philosophy built around geometric purity, emotional precision, and technical clarity, according to the release.

Central to the car’s identity is the vertical frame, Audi’s reimagining of its signature grille, inspired by the legendary Auto Union Type C (1936) and even the third-gen A6 from 2004.

Its twin-panel, electrically actuated hardtop rocks both coupe-like elegance and open-air allure.

Inside: Clarity Meets Tactility

Inside, the Concept C embraces minimalism without sacrificing substance. Anodized‑aluminum haptic controls, including that satisfying “Audi click,” and a foldable 10.4‑inch center display, offer sleek digital interaction, but nothing feels superfluous.

Audi is calling this “shy tech”—technology that’s always present, never overpowering. Smart, emotional, and intuitive.

Clear Design Vision leaks into Corporate Clarity

This concept is apparently not just a car, it’s a sort of manifesto. CEO Gernot Döllner says that clarity now guides everything at Audi, from design to structure to corporate ethos. The Milan reveal under the banner “Strive for clarity” sets the tone for a bold, focused reimagining of the brand – making this reveal more than about just a new concept.

It’s a full‑scale reorientation, described internally as “The Radical Next” by CCO Massimo Frascella, who emphasizes design as a cultural force, not just a styling exercise.

The Concept C also makes its public debut at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich, showcased under Audi’s immersive “Feel Audi” experience.

A TT Comeback as an Electric Vehicle?

Now, Autocar released a report adding a lot of context around the concept unveil: Audi is reportedly working on an electric TT‑inspired drop‑top, targeting 2027, and this concept could be fairly close to what the German automaker could bring to production.

It would be positioned as a retro‑styled EV, the car would slot in as a Boxster‑rival, potentially sharing its bones with a Porsche counterpart, which is also going electric.

Audi already retired the TT and the R8—leaving a gap in its two‑door sports car lineage. But according to CEO Döllner, sports cars are still part of Audi’s DNA, and their return is not off the table—especially when the timing is right.

Design chief Frascella has a long‑standing personal connection to the TT—it inspired him as a young designer, and he’s excited about bringing that emotional spark into a new EV concept. But, he cautions, it won’t be derivative. Expect something that captures the essence without cloning the past.

A future electric TT would be Audi Sport’s “emotional compact”, built on the surging wave of electrification, and maybe, just maybe, born from the same radical simplicity that powers the Concept C.

Electrek’s Take

As you know, it’s hard for us at Electrek to get excited about new concept cars, but it does sound like Audi isn’t just sketching a pretty concept here.

The vehicle appears to signal a new design language for the four-ring brand and could even preview a new electric sports car.

If it’s indeed the direction Audi is heading, I like it. It manages to be both retro and futuristic without doing too much. That’s impressive.

I appreciate the minimalism all around, but especially in the interior, where, even though it’s just a concept, it already feels exceptionally refined.

You definetly should make this Audi.

The stunning Volvo ES90 has arrived and it’s the automaker’s most advanced EV to date

The stunning Volvo ES90 has arrived and it's the automaker's most advanced EV to date

First-Volvo-ES90-EV

The ES90 can drive further and charge faster than any of Volvo’s electric cars to date. Its sleek design looks like a fastback, but offers the space of an SUV. After the first ES90 rolled off the assembly line on Thursday, Volvo said its new flagship EV stands in a class of its own.

The first Volvo ES90 EV rolls off the production line

Volvo created quite a stir after unveiling the ES90 in March, its new flagship EV. Although it may look like a sedan, it offers the versatility of an SUV with a spacious interior and higher ground clearance.

It’s also the first Volvo model based on its new 800V SPA2 architecture. The advanced new platform unlocks some of the world’s fastest charging speeds, along with an impressive driving range.

Based on the new platform, the ES90 can gain up to 300 km (186 miles) of range in just 10 minutes using a 350 kW fast charger. It also provides a driving range of up to 700 km (435 miles), making it the “most technically advanced” Volvo EV to date.

After the first ES90 rolled off the production line on Thursday, Francesca Gamboni, chief industrial operations officer at Volvo Cars, said the automaker is entering “a new era of safety, sustainability, and human-centric technology.”

By offering the best of a sedan, fastback, and SUV, “the ES90 stands in a class of its own,” Volvo claims. Powered by a 102 kWh battery, the Volvo ES90 offers a whopping 700 km (435 miles) of WLTP driving range.

The inside is just as impressive as the first Volvo car equipped with NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin. With around 508 trillion operations per second, the computer offers an eightfold improvement from the previous DRIVE AGX system.

Volvo’s new Superset tech stack enables the ES90 to improve and “evolve” through software updates. All of that, and it’s still designed with Volvo’s advanced safety tech at its core.

The ES90 “is set to be another Scandinavian design classic from Volvo Cars,” the company boasted. Volvo has already opened ES90 orders in several European markets and will soon launch it in the Asia Pacific region. In Germany, the ES90 starts at €71,990 ($84,000) with higher trim options priced upwards of around €95,000 ($110,000).

Orsted sues to save offshore wind farm from Trump administration axe

The Danish renewable energy company Orsted sued the Trump administration on Thursday to prevent it from blocking the completion of a wind farm off the coast of New England.

The Interior Department abruptly ordered Orsted on August 22 to halt construction on Revolution Wind off the coast of Rhode Island and Connecticut. The fully permitted project is 80% complete and would provide enough power for more than 350,000 homes across both states.

Orsted asked the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to set aside the stop-work order, calling it “unlawful” and “issued in bad faith.”

Orsted shares hit a record low on August 25 in the wake of the stop-work order.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has justified the order on national security grounds and concerns that Revolution Wind will interfere with other uses of U.S. territorial waters. But Orsted said this justification is just a pretext, pointing to President Donald Trump’s long-standing animus toward wind power going back more than a decade.

“The President has apparent hostility towards offshore wind, including based on statements made on the campaign trail,” Orsted’s attorney told the court.

Revolution Wind has undergone extensive environmental and safety reviews over nearly a decade that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, according to Orsted’s lawsuit. Federal agencies have uniformily concluded based on thousands of pages of data that the project is “environmentally sound, safe and consistent with federal law,” the company said.

Trump has targeted the wind industry since his first day in office, when he issued an order that closed federal waters to new leases for offshore projects. But the renewable industry had hoped that the White House would allow permitted projects such as Revolution Wind to proceed.

Trump has escalated his attacks on the renewable energy industry in recent weeks. The president said his administration would not approve solar and wind projects two days before Revolution Wind was hit with the stop-work order.

And the Trump administration on Friday cancelled $679 million in funding for a dozen infrastructure projects that support the offshore wind industry.
