Score $400 off Velotric’s 2024 Discover 1 Plus e-bike with 65-mile range at $1,199 with bonus savings options

As part of its ongoing sitewide Halloween sale, Velotric is offering its 2024 Discover 1 Plus e-bike for $1,199 shipped. Normally fetching $1,599, we regularly see it down at $1,299 during similar sales, with prices going their lowest to $1,099, which we last saw in March. Speaking of its lowest price – Velotric is offering an additional $200 in savings when you buy two of this model together, dropping costs to $1,099 each. If you’re only planning on buying one, you’re still looking at one of the best deals around as you’ll be getting a solid $400 markdown to the second-lowest price we have tracked. On top of all this, there’s also an on-page bundle option that gives you a rear rack, front basket, phone mount, and left mirror for $1,403, down from $1,903.

Velotric’s updated 2024 Discover 1 Plus e-bike arrives as an affordable and capable commuter solution with a 692Wh battery that powers the 500W motor (900W peak) for up to 65 miles of travel. There are five levels of pedal assistance to support the rider, or you can also use the throttle on its own for a reduced range of up to 58 miles. It reaches a standard speed of 20 MPH, but you can unlock its capabilities further up to 28 MPH (an increase from the previous build’s 25 MPH).

While the 2024 Discover 1 Plus doesn’t sport the higher power ratings, upgraded parts, and Apple Find My integration as the new Discover 2, it does still come with a nice collection of features at such a low price. There is the SHIMANO 7-speed derailleur, an integrated 60 lux LED headlight, a taillight with braking functionality, double hydraulic disc brakes, larger 26-inch puncture-resistant tires, an increased IPX7 waterproof rating, fenders above both tires, and a 3.5-inch LCD display. There’s a USB-A port on the display to charge your phone as you ride, and it even has a walk assist mode for when you are forced to stop your ride to get it up extreme inclines.

ALLPOWERS Halloween sale

ALLPOWERS sale takes $53 off its PB100 24,000mAh power bank solar bundle at a new $75 low

ALLPOWERS has launched its Halloween sale through November 1 which is taking up to 41% off its power stations and solar generator bundles. One notable inclusion in this sale that we don’t see often is the PB100 24,000mAh Power Bank bundled alongside a 21W solar panel for $75 shipped. Down from its usual $128 price tag, we haven’t seen many discounts on this model since it was released back in November 2023, let alone this particular bundle package that we can only find direct from ALLPOWERS. You’re looking at a 41% markdown here, cutting $53 off the price tag and giving you reliable backup power for your personal devices at the lowest price we have tracked. It even beats out its Amazon pricing for the power bank alone, which is sitting at $100, making this deal all the better.

With our personal devices becoming an integral part of our daily lives, whether it is for work, school, passion projects, and so on – it’s nice to know that you’re covered in terms of keeping everything running. You’ll certainly find a reliable companion in ALLPOWERS’ PB100 power bank, which delivers a 24,000mAh capacity and four output ports to choose from: one 100W USB-C, one 60W USB-C, and two 18W USB-As – with a 14-inch MacBook Pro getting a 50% battery in 30 minutes, for example. When using a 65W or higher charger, you can refill the unit’s battery in up to two hours or utilize the included panel for solar charging at its maximum input – even while on the go. Not only is it a compact device that fits right in the pocket of your bag, but it also doubles as a powerful LED light that can provide steady illumination or be used for emergencies with its flashing mode for S.O.S signals.

Worx lawn care and garden care equipment

Keep uniform yard lines with Worx’s 12A 7.5-inch electric lawn edger/trencher at new $90 2024 low

Amazon is offering the Worx 12A 7.5-inch Electric Lawn Edger & Trencher for $89.99 shipped until supplies run out (currently 80% left). Normally sitting at a $130 price tag, we’ve seen a handful of discounts over 2024, with many of them coming in the form of Best Buy one-day sales. We’ve seen things fall as low as $94 this year, with the last few months only seeing drops to $100. While we have seen the price go much lower in past years (the all-time low of which was in 2020 and hasn’t been seen since), today you’re looking at the new lowest price for 2024 that saves you $40 off the going rate.

Sporting a corded plug-in, meaning no battery timeframes to adhere to, this edger/trencher from Worx comes with a 12A motor that gets the 7.5-inch blade spinning up to 4,700 RPMS so you can enjoy professional-grade lines around the edges of your property and flower beds. There are three adjustable depths – 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, or 1-1/2 inch – and it also features a cutting line indicator to keep everything in tight formation, giving your lawn a uniform look. Designed with an adjustable shaft, users will be able to find better comfort and the length that fits them more easily, regardless of height differences in the family.

For a battery-powered model that won’t have you worried about tangling cords as you’re trying to work, Amazon has the popular Worx GT Revolution 20V 12-inch String Trimmer/Edger/Mini-Mower going for $107. This three-in-one tool maxes out at 7,600 RPMs and gives you everything you’ll need to clean up, straighten 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.

Goal Zero Yeti 1000X

Get the 983Wh Goal Zero Yeti 1000X power station at $411 off for a new $489 low

The official Goal Zero Amazon storefront is offering its Yeti 1000X Portable Power Station for $489 shipped. More recently fetching $900 to $1,000 after falling from its original $1,300 MSRP back at the start of 2024, we’ve seen a few different discounts over the year so far, with costs progressively getting lower as the months pass by. Most recently, we saw things hit their lowest point back in September when it fell to $500, but today that price is beaten out by this greater 46% markdown that cuts $411 off the price tag and lands it at a new all-time low price. It even beats out Goal Zero’s own website where it’s discounted to $500 at the moment.

A perfect on-the-go companion for any situation where you’ll need some backup power, the Yeti 1000X delivers a 983Wh capacity with two pure sine 1,500W AC inverters that surge up to 3,500W alongside two USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and a single car port. The battery fully recharges in up to nine hours via a standard wall outlet, which can be sped up with the brand’s Yeti X 600W Power Supply that cuts that timeframe down to just two hours. You can also take advantage of up to 600W of solar input to recharge via sunlight in two to four hours, with the minimum 100W of needed input taking a longer 12 to 24 hours, depending on conditions.

EcoFlow flash sale on WAVE 2 Portable AC/Heater

EcoFlow flash sale takes $400 off WAVE 2 portable AC/Heater for $899 low (Today only)

We’re entering the last few days of EcoFlow’s Halloween sale, and for today only is the last of this event’s flash sales, offering the WAVE 2 Portable Air Conditioner with Heater for $899 shipped. Normally priced at $1,299, it’s been keeping between $999 and its full price for much of the year, with some occasional falls lower to the $899 low in past flash sales, which is repeating here today, saving you $400 and giving you the best rate we have tracked – but don’t wait too long if you’re in need of a better portable air conditioning and heating option!

EcoFlow’s WAVE 2 delivers powerful air conditioning and heating in a portable form, ready at any moment to tackle temperature needs in whatever space you’re living in, traveling in, or working in – requiring no installation or drainage. It provides 5,100 BTUs of cooling and 6,100 BTUs of heating – with the heating able to effectively raise the temperature by 18 degrees in a matter of five minutes. And there’s no concern about its environmental impact as it utilizes R290, a natural refrigerant that comes in far greener and eco-friendlier than similar devices like it. The whole unit runs relatively quiet at 44dB while set in sleep mode too, allowing you to get some proper shut-eye while remaining comfy.

While this appliance comes with only the regular plug-in option, which gives you non-stop use through a standard wall outlet and similar options, you can also purchase its add-on battery (sold separately) to get up to 8 hours of AC or heating before needing to find a power source. Pairing it alongside your existing power stations is also an option, with either a DELTA 2 or DELTA Max power station providing an additional seven or 14 hours to the battery life, and even more, if you’ve got the appropriate solar panels as well.

Be sure to check out the full extent of EcoFlow’s Halloween savings while it lasts.

Block leads rebound in fintech stocks as analysts downplay JPMorgan data fee risk

Block leads rebound in fintech stocks as analysts downplay JPMorgan data fee risk

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey testifies during a remote video hearing held by subcommittees of the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee on “Social Media’s Role in Promoting Extremism and Misinformation” in Washington, U.S., March 25, 2021.

Handout | Via Reuters

Block jumped more than 5% on Monday, leading a rally in shares of fintech companies as analysts downplayed the threat of JPMorgan Chase’s reported plan to charge data aggregators for access to customer financial information.

The recovery followed steep declines on Friday, after Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan had circulated pricing sheets outlining potential fees for aggregators like Plaid and Yodlee, which connect fintech platforms to users’ bank data.

In a note to clients on Monday, Evercore ISI analysts said the potential new expenses were “far from a ‘business model-breaking’ cost increase.”

In addition to Block’s rise, PayPal climbed 3.5% on Monday after sliding Friday. Robinhood and Shift4 recorded modest gains.

Broader market momentum helped fuel some of the rebound. The Nasdaq closed at a record, and crypto rallied, with bitcoin climbing past $123,000. Ether, solana, and other altcoins also gained.

JPMorgan announces plans to charge for access to customer bank data

Evercore ISI’s analysts said that even if JPMorgan’s changes were implemented, the most immediate effect would be a slight bump in the cost of one-time account setups — perhaps 50 to 60 cents.

Morgan Stanley echoed that view, writing that any impact would be “negligible,” especially for large fintechs that rely more on debit, credit, or stored balances than bank account pulls for transactions.

PayPal doesn’t anticipate much short-term impact, according to a person with knowledge of the issue. The person, who asked not to be named in order to speak about private financial matters, noted that PayPal relies on aggregators primarily for account verification and already has long-term pricing contracts in place.

While smaller fintechs that depend heavily on automated clearing house (ACH) rails or Open Banking frameworks for onboarding and compliance may face real pressure if the fees take effect, analysts said the larger platforms are largely insulated.

EV sales hit 9.1M globally in H1 2025, but the US just hit the brakes

EV sales hit 9.1M globally in H1 2025, but the US just hit the brakes

Renault R4 E-Tech BEV

The global EV market is still charging ahead. According to new numbers from global research firm Rho Motion, 9.1 million EVs were sold worldwide in the first half of 2025, up 28% compared to the same period last year. But not every region is accelerating at the same pace.

China and Europe are doing the heavy lifting

More than half of the world’s EVs this year have been bought in China. That market hit 5.5 million sales in the first six months of 2025 – a 32% jump year-over-year. Around half of new cars bought in China are now electric.

While some Chinese cities’ subsidies have dried up, Rho Motion expects momentum to pick back up later in the year as more funding is released.

In Europe, 2 million EVs were sold in the first half of the year, up 26%. Battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales also rose 26%, thanks in part to affordable models like the Renault 4 (pictured) and 5 entering the market. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) weren’t far behind, growing 27% year-to-date. Chinese automakers are leaning into PHEVs as a way to work around the EU’s new tariffs on BEVs.

Spain is leading the pack with EV sales soaring 85% so far this year. Its generous MOVES III incentive program was extended in April and has kept sales strong. The UK and Germany are also seeing solid growth – 32% and 40%, respectively. France, however, is slumping. With subsidies cut, EV sales there have dropped 13%.

North America is stuck in the slow lane

Things aren’t looking quite as bright in North America. EV sales in the US, Canada, and Mexico are up just 3% so far this year.

Mexico is the one bright spot, with a 20% boost. The US is up 6%. But Canada is down a whopping 23%.

And things could get bumpier. On July 4, Trump signed Congress’s big bill into law, which axes all the Inflation Reduction Act EV tax credits. Those consumer credits for EVs now officially end on September 30.

Just over half of the EVs sold in the US this year qualified for those credits. Rho Motion predicts a rush in Q3 before the subsidies disappear – and a decline in sales after that.

Rho Motion data manager Charles Lester said, “With Trump’s latest cuts in his ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ the US could struggle to see any growth in the EV market overall in 2025.”

Global EV sales snapshot, H1 2025 vs H1 2024

  • Global: 9.1 million (+28%)
  • China: 5.5 million (+32%)
  • Europe: 2.0 million (+26%)
  • North America: 0.9 million (+3%)
  • Rest of world: 0.7 million (+40%)

The Lucid Air is crushing the competition as the best-selling luxury EV sedan in the US

The Lucid Air is crushing the competition as the best-selling luxury EV sedan in the US

Lucid-Air-best-selling-luxury-EV

Lucid’s electric sedan can drive further, charge faster, and packs more advanced tech than most of the competition. That might explain why it’s leading the segment. The Lucid Air remained the best-selling luxury EV sedan in the US after widening its lead in the Q2.

The Lucid Air is America’s best-selling luxury EV sedan

The 2025 Lucid Air Pure arrived as the “World’s most efficient car” with an EPA-estimated range of 420 miles and a record 146 MPGe.

It just set a new Guinness World Record last week for the longest journey by an electric car after travelling 749 miles (1,205 km) on a single charge.

That record was set in the range-topping Lucid Air Grand Touring model, which is rated for up to 512 miles of EPA-estimated range. On the WLTP scale, it’s rated at 597 miles (960 km). Either way, it still crushed the estimates.

According to second-quarter sales data, released by Kelley Blue Book on Monday, the Lucid Air is still America’s best-selling luxury EV.

Lucid sold 2,630 Air models in Q2, up 10% from the previous year. Through the first half of 2025, Lucid Air sales are up 17% with 5,094 units sold.

Tesla, on the other hand, only sold 1,435 Model Ss during the quarter, 71% fewer than it did in Q2 2024. Tesla Model S sales in the US are down 70% through the first half of the year at 2,715.

Although Porsche Taycan sales were up 32% with 1,064 models sold, the significantly upgraded 2025 model year was expected to see even more demand. Porsche has 2,083 Taycans in the US this year, up just 1% from 2024.

Other luxury EV sedans, such as the BMW i5 (1,434), i7 (820), and the Mercedes EQS (498), experienced steep double-digit sales declines year-over-year.

And it’s not just electric luxury sedans. The Lucid Air is currently outselling many gas-powered vehicles in its segment.

Lucid-Air-best-selling-luxury-EV-sedan

Lucid’s first electric SUV, the Gravity, is also rolling out. Although only five were sold in the second quarter, Lucid is quickly scaling production. Lucid aims to produce 20,000 vehicles this year, more than double the roughly 9,000 it built in 2024.

Earlier today, Lucid’s interim CEO, Marc Winterhoff, confirmed during an interview with Bloomberg that the company expects higher Gravity output in the second half of the year.

The interview was at the grand opening of Panasonic’s new battery cell plant in De Soto, Kansas. Winterhoff said Lucid will start using new cells from the facility, but not until next year.

Lucid’s CEO stressed the importance of establishing a local supply chain, as policy changes under the Trump Administration are taking effect. Lucid and Panasonic are collaborating to localize EV materials, such as graphite. Last month, Lucid secured a multi-year supply agreement with Graphite One for US-sourced Graphite.
