Velotric weekend flash sale on T1 ST e-bike

Velotric weekend flash sale drops T1 ST Plus e-bike with Apple Find My to $1,249 with bonus savings

Alongside Velotric’s ongoing sitewide sale, the brand is offering a weekend flash sale on its T1 ST Plus e-bike for $1,249 shipped, with a discounted bundle option for a bunch of add-on gear too. Normally priced at $1,549 most of the time, we saw it fall to its $1,099 low back during the brand’s Memorial Day sale for a short period, while the other sales have kept costs between $1,299 and $1,349. With this flash sale, you can land this lightweight model at a $300 markdown and the second-lowest price we have tracked. There’s also an option to bundle this e-bike and get a full spread of add-on gear with fenders for both wheels, a rear cargo rack, a phone mount, and a water bottle with a cage at $1,468, which all together would normally run you $1,818 – bumping your total savings up to $350.

Urban commuters and active cyclists alike will thrive with Velotric’s T1 ST Plus e-bike, as it weighs in at just 39 pounds, making it easy to carry up and down stairs while also taking up minimal space for those living in walk-up apartments/buildings. Its streamlined frame houses a 36V 352.8Wh battery that runs the 350W motor (which peaks at 600W), giving you up to 52 miles of pedal assistance (supported by a superior torque sensor) and top speeds of 25 MPH (unlocked from its standard 20 MPH).

Alongside a bonus walk mode for assistance when you have to hop off (especially to get up very steep angles) and Apple Find My capabilities, there’s a bunch more extra features that make this a great model at such a low price, with it also having a SHIMANO 8-speed derailleur, an integrated LED auto-headlight, double hydraulic disc brakes, puncture-resistant tires, an IPX6 waterproof rating, and a 3.5-inch LCD display with USB charging for your personal device.

first discount on Govee smart kitchen composter

Govee’s new smart electric Kitchen Composter helps you go greener with first discount to $250 (50% off)

Govee’s official Amazon storefront is offering the very first chance to save on the new Smart Electric Kitchen Composter for $249.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $200 off coupon. Priced at $500 since its recent release, this is the very first discount that we have seen on this new green kitchen upgrade – and the fact that it’s getting its price cut by a massive 50% markdown is rather surprising too, though Govee has been known to do this on other appliances, as it did with the new Smart Electric Kettle Pro. Folks looking to upgrade their home life and go a little more green are getting a great deal here, saving you $250 while also helping out the environment (and your gardens too). It also doesn’t seem to be available yet on Govee’s direct website, making this an even sweeter opportunity to get in on.

More and more folks are getting in on the benefits of composting at home, whether that’s to reduce food waste while also keeping it out of landfills, improving their own gardening soil for plants, and more. This new smart device from Govee is here to help with those desires, letting you keep records of your disposals, create your own low-cost fertilizer to provide vital nutrients to your home’s plant life, and more – all monitored and controlled via the companion app and with voice controls available through Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. You won’t have to worry about any odors here, as it includes two changeable filters that prevent the usual smells during the composting cycle. There are also three different operating modes here, with a full array of safety notifications to keep you in the loop should something go awry.

Anker SOLIX F3800 power station

Save $1,000 on Anker’s 3,840Wh SOLIX F3800 power station at $2,999, bundles start from $3,499

Anker has a bunch of power deals that are offering up some great rates on a lineup of reliable backup power solutions, like the brand’s SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station that is currently down at $2,999 shipped, which you can also find matching at Amazon, after clipping the on-page $1,000 off coupon. Down from its usual $3,999 price tag, we saw it in the earlier half of 2024 mostly keeping at or above $3,599, with some occasional falls lower. As the year has progressed we’ve been seeing more frequent $1,000 markdowns like today’s deal, though we did see it hit its $2,499 low back in June over at Wellbots. Today, you can add it to your backup needs with a solid $1,000 slashed off the tag, giving you the third-lowest price we have tracked. Head below for more on this unit and all its discounted bundle options too.

If you want to have all the backup power options at your fingertips – traveling/camping support to home backup and full home powering – this unit is one of the best versatile models on the market today with its 3,840Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that can be expanded all the way up to a massive 26.9kWh with the addition of six BP3800 Expansion Batteries. It can dish out up to 6,000W of output power and comes with a myriad of ports to cover a wide range of devices and appliances, with eight ACs, three USB-Cs, two USB-As, one DC, and one car port. That’s not all, as it also sports connections to hook to your RV, and electric car, as well as your home’s circuit breaker, but you will need to get the appropriate gear (bundle options below) with a Home Backup Kit for sectional support or the Home Power Panel that covers the entire household and allows for connections with your solar roof panels for greater recharging capabilities.

There are a few different ways to recharge the F3800’s battery, but the two main ways will give you a full battery in only 2.7 hours through a standard outlet, or up to 2 hours when utilizing its maximum 2,400W solar input. Everything is housed within a rollable design, with an LCD display to monitor real-time levels as well as adjust settings – or you can do all this on your phone via the companion app.

new Explorer 5000 Plus

Goal Zero’s Yeti 500 and 700 power stations at lowest prices starting from $337

Through its official Amazon storefront, Goal Zero is offering new and returning low prices on its Yeti 500 and Yeti 700 Portable Power Stations for $337.46 shipped and $449.96 shipped, after clipping the on-page 25% off coupons. Normally these two newer stations go for $450 and $600, respectively, and we’ve mostly seen the 500 model fall to $360 while the 700 model has been down as low as $450. You’re looking at the best prices here today, saving you $113 on the 500 at a new all-time low and $150 on the 700 at a returning low. There’s also a discounted bundle option to pair the Yeti 700 with a 100W solar panel for $586, after clipping the on-page $214 off coupon.

These 6th generation power stations are designed to keep your personal devices and small appliances juiced up and running during casual outdoor ventures, whether that’s for camping, tailgates, outdoor movie nights, road trips, and the like. They share much of the same designs and features, with the main difference between them being their capacity sizes (Yeti 500 offers 499Wh, Yeti 700 offers 677Wh) and output power levels (Yeti 500 provides 500W surging to 1,000W and the Yeti 700 provides 600W surging to 1,000W).

These units have all been given fast-charging capabilities when they’re plugged into a standard wall outlet, with the Yeti 500 recharging in 90 minutes and the Yeti 700 recharging in under 2 hours. Your small appliance and device charging needs are covered by the two AC ports, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, plus the bonus car port – and both can be hooked up to a solar panel with a max input level of 200W, with recharging ranging from 2.9 hours to 4 hours, depending on your model.

NIU

For today only hop aboard NIU’s KQi 300P foldable all-terrain suspension e-kickscooter at $699 low

Coming to us through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the NIU KQi 300P Foldable All-Terrain Suspension Electric Kick Scooter for $699 shipped. Normally fetching $949 here, while going for $899 direct from NIU, this one-day sale is seeing a slightly bigger discount than we’ve seen come from the manufacturer this year. When it’s been featured in NIU’s sales, it’s kept costs above $700, with the discounts only getting smaller and smaller as we headed through summer and into fall. Today, you’re looking at a 26% markdown coming from Best Buy, giving you $250 in savings and landing it at the lowest price we can find. It even beats out NIU’s website where it’s discounted to a higher $807 rate.

Designed to handle whatever terrain stands ahead of you, NIU’s KQi 300P kickscooter arrives with a 450W motor (peaking at 900W for up to 20% incline climbing) alongside a 13Ah/608Wh battery that provides a nice 30 miles of travel and 20 MPH top speeds. There are some great standout features here, like the dual-tube hydraulic suspension for an even smoother ride, or the PowerFront braking (with rear dual-action disc brakes) that extends battery life thanks to the regenerative braking. Along with these, there’s also rubber pneumatic tubeless tires, a Halo headlight, braking lights, turn signal lights, and the full array of smart controls via the companion app – letting you customize its settings while also providing security measures to lock/unlock the e-scooter.

Fall e-bike deals!

Trump won – what now for US clean energy?

Trump won – what now for US clean energy?

clean energy Trump

Donald Trump will push fossil fuels and undo renewable energy policies, but it ultimately won’t stop clean energy’s momentum.

Trump has always pushed for more oil drilling and fewer regulations, left the Paris Agreement in his first term as president, says he hates “windmills,” promised to scrap offshore wind on “day one” if he won the 2024 election, and calls climate change a “scam.” And now that he’s won, this is a direct threat to the US’s pledge to reach net zero by 2050. After all, federal policy directly impacts the pace of renewable energy growth, especially when it comes to incentives and research funding.

The Biden administration’s groundbreaking Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which has spurred a clean energy boom, will be challenged under Trump. Because Republican states have received 80% of the IRA’s money with which they’ve built factories and created thousands of jobs, a complete IRA repeal is unlikely. What’s more probable is that the Republicans phase out tax credits earlier than planned or cap overall funding.

Federal financial support for innovative technologies and projects could also take a hit. Brendan Bell, COO of Aligned Climate Capital, who formerly led the US Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, told Electrek:

My partner Peter and I led the DOE Loan Program Office under President Obama. We supported the first utility-scale solar and storage projects, as well as early EV investments – including the first loan to Tesla.

Today, these technologies are commercialized and are propelling the clean energy transition. None of it would have been possible if these programs had been cut off 10 years ago.

Put simply, Trump can’t turn back the tide of clean energy – but he could delay tomorrow’s solutions and the birth of new industries.

BloombergNEF’s “2H 2024 US Clean Energy Market Outlook,” released at the end of October, examined the worst-case scenario, where control of both the Senate and the House leads to a full repeal of the IRA tax credits:

The wind, solar, and energy storage sectors jointly see a 17% drop in total new capacity additions over 2025-2035, with 927 gigawatts (GW) of cumulative build compared to 1,118GW in BNEF’s base case forecast. Wind sees the greatest fall in activity in this scenario with a 35% drop, followed by energy storage at 15% and solar at 13% relative to BNEF’s base case.

That’s a blow we can’t afford at a time when we need to reduce emissions by 50% from 2005 levels by 2030 to avoid climate disasters becoming even worse than they already are.

But all is not lost. The clean energy market isn’t solely driven by federal policy. Over the last decade, solar, wind, and EVs have become more cost-competitive and popular. State policies play a huge role too, and many states are committed to their own clean energy goals regardless of who sits in the White House. States like California, New York, and Washington have ambitious targets to combat climate change, and deep red Texas is No. 1 in the US for both solar and wind.

Corporations are also key players. Companies like Amazon, Google, and Walmart have committed to going 100% renewable, and they’re not about to reverse course. This demand keeps the market for renewables strong. Plus, there’s significant public support for clean energy jobs, and renewables create more employment opportunities than fossil fuels in many regions of the country.

JD Dillon, chief marketing officer of California-based solar tech manufacturer Tigo Energy (Nasdaq: TYGO), said to Electrek, “The march toward renewable clean energy is both inevitable and the right thing to do. In a perfect world, we would eliminate partisanship from the renewable energy conversation because everyone benefits from a cleaner environment and affordable energy. Unfortunately, none of us live in said perfect world.”

The US clean energy sector may slow down, but it’s hard to stop a train that has already left the station. What consequences this slower-moving train will have for the US and the world remains to be seen.

CATL pushes forward with all-solid-state EV batteries

CATL pushes forward with all-solid-state EV batteries

CATL-all-solid-state-EV-batteries

The world’s largest EV battery maker is advancing a new type of battery, promising higher energy density. According to a new local report, CATL is investing heavily while ramping up its workforce to bring all-solid-state EV batteries to market.

With trial production reportedly kicking off, we could see CATL launch all-solid-state EV batteries sooner than expected.

According to a new local report from LatePost (via CnEVPost), CATL has entered the trial production phase of 20 Ah samples. The news comes after the EV battery giant added over 1,000 workers to its R&D team this year.

The report claimed that CATL is now focused on the final Sulfide phase and has already commenced trial production of 20 Ah samples.

The company’s solution has an energy density of up to 500 Wh/kg for lithium ternary batteries, 40% more than current batteries. However, the report said charging speed and cycle life are not quite where they need to be.

At 20 Ah, the battery solution is finalized and ready for its next stage, production tech exploration.

CATL is advancing all-solid-state EV batteries

The report says after that it’s mainly manufacturing hurdles, that can be overcome with a bigger workforce.

In April, CATL’s chief scientist, Wu Kai, announced that the company had developed a verification platform for 10 Ah all-solid-state EV battery cells. Wu also said CATL aimed to produce all-solid-state EV batteries in small volumes in 2027, the first time the news was made public.

In September, the company’s chairman, Robin Zeng, said CATL’s research into the new battery tech was “second to none.”

Several companies, including Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and others, are betting on solid-state EV batteries as the future.

CATL-Super-hybrid-battery

According to data from CnEVPost, CATL is dominating the global EV battery market with a 36.7% share through September 2024.

China’s BYD is second with a 16.4% share of the market. BYD is also planning to launch solid-state batteries. At the September 2024 World New Energy Congress, BYD’s head scientist and engineer, Lian Yubo, said solid-state EV batteries could be widely used in five years.

This model will normally fetch you $2,099 these days, with our post-tariff market having hiked up the MSRP since summer by $200.

one-day EcoFlow flash sale

EcoFlow Black Friday flash sale takes up to $1,347 off DELTA Pro and DELTA 2 Max bundles from $1,139 (Today only)

The first of EcoFlow’s Black Friday flash sales has dropped this morning, giving folks two power station bundles at a significantly reduced price. The first of these is an Amazon-only offer on the brand’s DELTA Pro Portable Power Station bundled alongside a transfer switch and the appropriate connector for $1,952.07 shipped, after redeeming the on-page 7% off coupon. Normally this bundle would run you $3,299, with discounts having taken costs down to the former $2,099 low once before during the recent Prime Day event, but it’s getting beaten out by the additional 7% discount ($147) to carve out a new all-time low price.

This bundle package from EcoFlow will give you exactly what you need to support you on trips away from the home, while also covering appliance needs in case of an emergency when you are home. The included transfer switch allows you to connect the DELTA Pro’s 3,600Wh LiFePO4 battery to your home’s breakers, with the unit’s 3,600W output power (surging to 7,200W) able to cover certain areas of your home to keep essentials running. There’s also the 14 output ports on this station that can directly power and charge your appliances and devices. Recharging the station’s own battery is fairly quick too, as plugging it into a standard wall outlet will refuel it back to full in just 1.8 hours, or you can get a full recharge in 2.8 hours when utilizing the maximum 1,600W of solar input. All the usual remote smart controls you’ve expected from EcoFlow are available here and can be accessed through the companion app when connected by Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

The second option during this flash sale is coming direct from EcoFlow’s site, offering the DELTA 2 Max Portable Power Station with a 800W alternator charger and a free camping light for $1,139.05 shipped, thanks to the sale’s additional 5% off promo in bonus savings that is applied automatically at checkout. More suited for folks who regularly take their power station with them on trips, the DELTA 2 Max’s 2,048Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity will be able to recharge while you drive, giving you about 1,000Wh for every 1.3 hours you’re on the road. It can handle covering devices and appliances with its 3,400W power output and its 15 output port options.

You can check out our launch coverage of the sale here, which we’ve curated for you to give you a one-stop shop of the best deals that we noticed amongst the massive amount of offers.

NIU has launched a pre-Black Friday flash sale through November 17, with the brand’s KQi series of electric scooters benefitting from up to 64% off discounts while it continues. One of the best (and cheapest) of these models that can still provide higher-than-average commuting support is the KQi2 Pro Electric Kick Scooter at $379.98 shipped. Normally priced at $649, it closed out last year at a $369 low, which we haven’t seen appear again this year, but we have seen a few discounts bring costs down to the second-lowest price, which is repeating here during this flash sale. You’re looking at a solid $269 being cut off the going rate, giving you the second-best price we have tracked and the best price of 2024 so far – only $11 above the all-time low from last year.

NIU’s KQi2 Pro provides mobility alongside affordability, with its lower pricing making this a great opportunity to upgrade your commute without breaking the bank. Its 300W motor and 48V battery propels the scooter forward up to 17.4 MPH for up to 25 miles of travel – with the regenerative brakes helping to extend that distance and four riding modes: e-save, sport, custom, and pedestrian. Carrying an IP54 water-resistance rating, it also comes stocked with an LED headlight and taillight, a secondary front drum brake, a foldable body, and an LED dashboard display to adjust settings – which you can also do through the companion app on your smartphone.
