Lectric’s best-selling XP 3.0 long-range e-bikes get limited-time $507 of free camping gear at $1,299

Alongside its ongoing Fall into Savings sale, Lectric has thrown in a limited-time camping bundle on its XP 3.0 Long-Range e-bikes through October 16, giving you $507 in free gear at $1,299 shipped. This bundle package would normally cost you $1,806 in total, with it giving you everything you need to support you during your next camping trip, or even for more localized trips to tailgates or doing errands around town. You’ll be getting a larger-than-normal giant cushioned saddle that is better supported by the coiled spring suspension, a front mounting rack, a small cargo basket, a large cargo basket, a 35L soft cooler, a silk cargo net, a folding bike lock, a pair of rear-view mirrors, and an adjustable phone mount.

Lectric’s three models of XP 3.0 Long-Range e-bikes all arrive with a 500W hub motor and an internal 48V battery that work together to propel the bike up to 20 MPH – with top speeds of 28 MPH available in states where regulations allow for it. Using its five levels of pedal assistance (powered by the brand’s Pedal Assist Wattage Regulation Programming which you can learn more about here) you will get up to 65 miles of travel distance on a single charge, or you can solely use the throttle for up to 30 miles per charge. On top of the additional gear, these e-bikes also come stocked with an integrated rear cargo rack, puncture-resistant tires, 180mm hydraulic disc brakes, a headlight, a taillight, as well as the LCD display and a foldable body for easier storage/transport when you’re not on the saddle.

You can check out all the other ongoing e-bike bundle discounts during Lectric’s Fall into Savings sale here, like the free extra battery offer on the XPeak Off-Road e-bikes.

Save $800 on Bluetti’s 2,048Wh AC200L LiFePO4 power station at $1,199 low in post-Prime Day sale

Bluetti has an ongoing sale direct from its website through October 20 that is continuing Prime Day savings with up to 57% taken off power stations, bundles, and accessories, with some exclusive member discounts for those with an account (sign-up is free). A notable inclusion is the brand’s popular AC200L Portable Power Station that is down at $1,199 shipped. Normally priced at $1,999, we’ve seen plenty of short-term discounts over 2024 that have often brought costs down to $1,399, with the last few months seeing increased savings as low as $1,199 – including last week’s Prime Day event. This sale gives you ample opportunity to get the best savings we’ve seen at a 40% markdown that slashes $800 off the tag and returns it to the all-time lowest price we have tracked.

If you plan to head out over the fall season with larger camping groups and/or more appliances while also wanting to be prepared for sudden home backup support during emergencies, Bluetti’s AC200L power station can certainly handle the job. It delivers a 2,048Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that can be expanded upon up to 4,096Wh with a B230 expansion battery, 6,348Wh with two B210 batteries, or even 8,192Wh with two B300 batteries. It pumps out power at up to 2,400W (surging to 3,600W) with its 11 output ports: four ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, one car port, one RV port, and even a NEMA TT-30 port.

Recharging the unit can take just 45 minutes to hit an 80% battery when you plug it into a standard wall outlet, or you can utilize up to 1,200W of solar input that can fill the battery in 1.7 to 2.2 hours on average. There’s also the usual array of smart controls that you’ve come to expect, all accessed through a tablet or smartphone via the BLUETTI app.

stock e-bikes

Electric Bike Company has taken $200 off a selection of its ready-designed stock e-bike models, as well as offering some accessory discounts and a bonus promotion too – with prices starting at $1,399 shipped for its Model J e-bike. Normally fetching $1,599 in our post-tariff market, cash savings on e-bikes from this brand are rare occurrences, often only ever seeing the price cut down by $100 or $200 increments. While we have seen it go as low as $1,299 in the past – first during last year’s Black Friday sales and only once in 2024 in February (which we haven’t seen again since), this model often gets dropped to $1,499 on average. Today though, you’re looking at a solid $200 markdown here that lands it at the third-lowest price we have tracked. The brand also has an ongoing promotion that gives you a free anti-theft alarm alongside an upgraded 3.5A supercharger along with your e-bike purchase by using the code FALL2024 at checkout – valued at $383.

Arriving with a minimalist moped design that is reminiscent of Venice Beach cruisers (complete with the banana seat), the Model J e-bike cruises onto the scene at 20 MPH (using the throttle alone) to 28 MPH speeds (with its five pedal assistance levels) and up to a 60-mile travel distance on a single charge. It achieves these performances thanks to the 750W geared hub motor that is powered by a 14Ah battery. You’ll also be getting the e-bike stocked with motorbike-grade puncture-resistant tires, integrated front and rear safety lights, hand stitched vegan leather grips, and an LCD color display with a USB charging port. You can get a full hands-on rundown from our review over at Electrek.

AeroGarden Harvest 2.0

AeroGarden’s Harvest 2.0 indoor hydroponic system beats out Prime Day pricing at $52

Amazon is offering the AeroGarden Harvest 2.0 Indoor Hydroponic System for $52.49 shipped. Normally priced at $90, it’s mainly kept above $80 throughout 2024, with summer having seen the largst discount to the $50 low for a short while before returning back to its higher rates. In last week’s Prime Day event we saw it fall to $60, but that price is being beaten out here today with nearly $40 slashed from the tag, giving you the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $2 above the all-time low.

For those not in the know, AeroGarden recently announced that it will be closing its doors in the coming months, so if you’ve ever wanted to add one of these indoor hydroponic gardens to your home, now is the time to do so – especially with such a large discount bringing costs down to its lowest prices. Without the mess of soil, you’ll be able to grow up to six of your favorite veggies, herbs, or flowers up to 12 inches tall with the Harvest 2.0 model thanks to its grow deck and water bowl design. There’s a 15W grow light that features an automatic on/off timer to mimic natural sunlight and allow plant germination ” up to 5x faster than in soil.” This upgraded model sports a darker interior within its grow deck to increase prevention of algae growth in the water reservoir and even has a nutrient reminder so you don’t forget when to add more plant food. Along with the unit itself, you’ll also be receiving a growing starter kit that includes plant food, grow sponges, and lettuce seeds.

Tesla offered many Cybertruck trade-ins above purchase price in apparent glitch

Tesla offered many Cybertruck trade-ins above purchase price in apparent glitch

Tesla prices 2025

Over the weekend, Tesla began offering many Cybertruck trade-in estimated values above the original purchase price, apparently due to a glitch in its system.

Tesla offers online trade-in estimates for individuals considering purchasing a vehicle from them.

Over the last few days, Cybertruck owners who submitted their vehicles through the system were surprised to see Tesla offering extremely high valuations on the vehicle, often above what they originally paid for the electric truck.

Here are a few examples:

Advertisement – scroll for more content

  • $79,200 for a 2025 Cybertruck AWD with 18,000 miles. Since this is a 2025 model year, it was eligible for the tax credit and Tesla is offering the same price as new without incentive.
  • Here Tesla offered $118,800 for a 2024 Cybertruck ‘Cyberbeast’ tri-motor with 21,000 miles.
  • In this example, Tesla offers $11,000 more than the owner originally paid for a 2024 Cybertruck.

The trade-in estimates made no sense. Tesla has been known to offer more attractive estimates online and then come lower with the official final offer, but this is on a whole different level.

Some speculated that Tesla’s trade-in estimate system was malfunctioning, while others thought Tesla was indirectly recalling early Cybertrucks.

It appears to be the former.

Some Tesla Cybertruck owners who tried to go through a new order with their Cybertruck as a trade-in were told by Tesla advisors that the system was “glitching” and they would not be honoring those prices.

Tesla told buyers that it would be refunding its usually “non-refundable” order fee.

Electrek’s Take

That’s a weird glitch. I assume that it was trying to change how the trade-in value would be estimated and the new math didn’t work for the Cybertruck for whatever reason.

It’s the only thing that makes sense to me.

The Cybertruck’s value is already quite weird due to the fact that Tesla still has new vehicles made in 2024, which are not eligible for the tax credit incentive, while the new ones made in 2025 are eligible.

There’s also the Foundation Series, which bundles many features for a $20,000 higher price.

All these things affect the value and can make it hard to compare with new Cybertrucks offered with 0% interest.

At $28,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going? [update]

At $28,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going? [update]

Deep discounts hit Jeep’s flagship EV as Stellantis struggles with demand

Like a 90s “gifted” kid that was supposed to be a lot of things, the electric Jeep Wagoneer S never really found its place — but when dealers started discounting the Jeep brands forward-looking flagship by nearly $25,000 back in June, I wrote that it might be time to give the go-fast Wagoneer S a second look.

This month, the discounts are even better.

UPDATE 23AUG25: I found you some even better EV deals!

Whether we’re talking about Mercedes-Benz, Cerberus, Fiat, or even Enzo Ferrari, outsiders have labeled Jeep as a potentially premium brand that could, “if managed properly,” command luxury-level prices all over the globe. That hasn’t happened, and Stellantis is just the latest in a long line of companies to sink massive capital into the brand only to realize that people will not, in fact, spend Mercedes money on a Jeep.

That said, the Jeep Wagoneer S is not a bad car (and neither is its totally different, hideously massive, ICE-powered Wagoneer sibling, frankly). Built on the same Stellantis STLA Large vehicle platform that underpins the sporty Charger Daytona EVs, the confusingly-named Wagoneer S packs dual electric motors putting out almost 600 hp. That’s good enough to scoot the ‘ute 0 to 60 mph in a stomach-turning 3.5 seconds and enough, on paper, to convince Stellantis executives that they had developed a real, market-ready alternative to the Tesla Model Y.

With the wrong name and a sky-high starting price of $66,995 (not including the $1,795 destination fee), however, that demand didn’t materialize, leaving the Wagoneer S languishing on dealer lots across the country.

That could be about to change, however, thanks to big discounts on Wagoneer S being reported at CDJR dealers in several states:

  • Jeff Belzer’s in Minnesota has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,790 MSRP for $39,758 ($28,032 off)
  • Troncalli CDJR in Georgia has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,590 MSRP for $42,697 ($24,893 off)
  • Whitewater CDJR in Minnesota has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,790 MSRP for $43,846 ($23,944 off)
  • Antioch CDJR in Illinois has a 2025 Wagoneer S Limited with a $67,790 MSRP for $44,540 ($23,250 off)

“Stellantis bet big on electric versions of iconic American brands like Jeep and Dodge, but consumers aren’t buying the premise,” writes CDG’s Marcus Amick. “(Stellantis’ dealer body) is now stuck with expensive EVs that need huge discounts to move, eating into already thin margins while competitors focus on [more] profitable gas-powered vehicles.”

All of which is to say: if you’ve found yourself drawn to the Jeep Wagoneer S, but couldn’t quite stomach the $70,000+ window stickers, you might want to check in with your local Jeep dealer and see how you feel about it at a JCPenneys-like 30% off!

New 50-ton SANY reach stacker brings Formula 1 tech to the job site

New 50-ton SANY reach stacker brings Formula 1 tech to the job site

Sany launches world’s first 50-tonne energy storage reach stacker

Multinational equipment brand SANY just launched a clever new 50-ton reach stacker that pairs gravity and an F1-style KERS system to generate electricity, improve operating efficiency, and reduce costs. The best part: they’re putting that smart tech to work by helping clean up (and shore up) the grid.

Short for Kinetic Energy Recovery System, KERS was a staple of Formula 1 in the late aught and 2010s. Essentially an advanced form of regenerative braking, KERS captured the kinetic energy of a car at speed that would normally be lost as heat when the brake pads pressed against the brake discs. Instead of heat, KERS converted that energy into electricity (storing it in a battery or flywheel), to be deployed later.

Sebastian Vettel explains KERS

4x WDC Sebastian Vettel explains KERS.

In practice, KERS gave drivers an extra boost of horsepower at the push of a button, enabling them to attack or defend their position on track and adding a fresh strategic element to the sport. In SANY’s case, that stored power is fed back into the reach stacker’s electric hydraulic system, reducing pressure loss across the high-pressure setup by 50%, and lowering the machine’s overall energy consumption by more than 60%.

Energy recovery is a key feature. The potential energy of the boom, lifting gear and energy storage cabinets during the boom’s descent can be recovered efficiently with an overall recovery efficiency of over 65%. That means every 1 kWh of consumption in lifting can be recovered by 0.4 kWh during descent.

SANY

The 50t reach stacker is available with a 512 kWh swappable battery pack that’s compatible with other SANY heavy equipment assets, and supports both DC fast charging when swapping isn’t practical or (for whatever reason) desirable.

On a single charge and backed by the onboard KERS, that’s good enough for the machine can lift and move containers for more than 7 continuous hours, which SANY claims significantly reducing downtime for charging compared to other, similar equipment assets.

The new SANY reach stacker can stack six 50-ton containers, greatly enhancing a site’s container and battery storage density within a limited space. The first units will reach unnamed customers building out a utility-scale energy storage project by the end of this month.

Electrek’s Take

50 tonne electric reach stacker; via SANY.

All the great stuff I was saying about the new 65-tonne XCMG still holds true for the SANY (especially when they take the wraps off their own 65t BESS-specific unit later this year), but the SANY adds smart battery swap tech and what seems to be more efficient operations, too.

Regardless of which one you choose, it seems like the available options for reach stacker operators are just getting better and better!
