We’ve got some great Green Deals for you today, led by Rad Power’s official 2024 Black Friday sale that is running through the rest of the month and offering up to $500 discounts on veteran e-bikes, free extra battery promotions on the newest models, and plenty of accessory discounts up to 30% – all starting from $1,099. Right behind it is Segway’s latest ZT3 Pro All-Terrain Electric Scooter that has two differing offers – the first being a $200 discount while the second gives you a free Lumina power station, starting from $1,100. We have the return of the all-time lowest price on GoTrax’s Everest Electric Dirt Bike at $4,000 for today only, as well as new low prices on Worx’s M 20V and L 20V Landroid Robotic Lawn Mowers that start from $540. Lastly, Walmart’s early Black Friday sale has discounted a selection of Greenworks equipment, with the 60V 16-inch Cordless Electric Chainsaw hitting a new $139 low. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s $600 off Black Friday deal on Heybike’s Cityrun e-bike, or the other low prices from ENGWE, Segway Ninebot, and more.

Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Rad Power has launched its official 2024 Black Friday sale through December 4, offering up to $500 in discounts on e-bikes, as well as free extra battery promotions on its newest models (worth $599), 30% off accessory deals, 25% off vehicle racks, and more. The biggest cash discount during this event is on the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike that is down at $1,099 shipped – plus, you’ll also be getting a free accessory under $200. Normally priced at $1,599, we’ve seen it as the focus of a few different sales so far in 2024, with most of them cutting the price down to $1,299, though some took things lower to $1,249. With this sale, though, you’re looking at a bigger-than-ever $500 in savings that beats out the former low price by $150 and marks a new all-time low going forward – even beating out last year’s Black Friday sale too.

Rad Power’s RadExpand 5 e-bike makes the perfect addition to homes that need a well-rounded utility model that can also save you on storage space when you’re not on the saddle thanks to its folding frame. The 750W brushless geared rear-hub motor arrives powered by a 672Wh battery, providing a 20 MPH top speed with four pedal assistance levels (yes, there’s a throttle too) and supporting you through your commute, errands, and more with 45+ miles of travel range on a full charge.

Along with its performance, there’s a solid collection of stock features like the LED headlight and the integrated taillight with brake lighting – plus, they both sport automatic functioning, turning on when surrounding light levels drop low enough. There’s also the integrated cargo rack (which has a 55-pound weight limit), fenders to go over both 20-inch by 4-inch fat tires, a water-resistant wiring harness, a 7-speed MicroShift derailleur, and an LED display.

Score $200 off Segway’s new ZT3 Pro all-terrain e-scooter or get it with a free power station starting from $1,100

We’re still waiting for Segway to officially drop its Black Friday savings, though we are seeing one early access opportunity in the S2 Smart Self-Balancing Scooter at its all-time lowest rate and matching at Amazon. In the meantime, the brand is offering two separate deals on its new ZT3 Pro All-Terrain eKickScooter, with the first being a discount to $1,099.99 shipped. Down for the first time since officially launching last month, it comes in as the second-lowest price overall considering the pre-order special that had costs down at $950. You’ll still be saving a solid $200 on this all-new model though, or you can buy it at full price to take advantage of the alternative deal (more on that below).

Segway’s new ZT3 Pro electric scooter cruises across any terrain your journeys take you at top speeds of 24.9 MPH thanks to the 1,600W brushless motor that provides enough torque to conquer inclines up to 25% with ease. The 597Wh battery here is supported by RideyLong tech with an advanced controller algorithm that extends its travel capacity “by up to 20%,” lending to the 43.5 miles it carries you on a single 4-hour charge while in Eco Mode (18.6 miles when kicked into its high-powered Sport mode). Segway has even taken sudden needs to travel into consideration, giving it the ability the provide 6.2 miles off just 30 minutes of charging if you really need to get going.

Rider safety, stability, and comfort have been one of the main focuses of this model too, as it has been given plenty of features to support smoother and more controlled riding, like the full suspension frame, 6 inches of clearance from the ground, a pair of 11-inch all-terrain tubeless tires, as well as a Segride stability enhancement system that works alongside its Traction Control System. It boasts an IPX5 waterproof designation (with the battery rated IPX7) and even eco-friendly ASA thermoplastic that is easy to replace if damaged – plus, tons of smart features, like Apple Find My, and lighting too, which you can check out in full by reading our in-depth launch coverage.

Segway is also offering an alternative deal on this new model if you choose to buy it at full price – which, along with the scooter, gives you a free Lumina 500 Portable Power Station (valued at $400). This model has a more compact form factor than the brand’s other power stations, offering a 512Wh capacity (peaking at 1,200W) and being able to dish out power at 600W speeds – with a full battery only taking one hour to get when plugged into a wall outlet. All-in-all, there are eight ports to charge your devices and power small appliances – two ACs, two USB-Cs, and four USB-As.

GoTrax Everest electric dirt bike

Second chance at landing GoTrax’s Everest electric dirt bike with massive $2,000 discount at $4,000 low (Today only)

Coming to us through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the GoTrax Everest Electric Dirt Bike down at $3,999.99 shipped through the rest of the day. It normally keeps to its recent $6,000 price tag most of the time after falling from the original $6,500 rate months ago, with very few discounts dropping costs further since it released last year. In 2024, we’ve mainly seen three previous one-day sales like this one, the first two only taking the price down to $5,500, while September saw the first fall to the $4,000 low. It’s returning again here today, giving you the chance to score it at $2,000 off and the lowest price we have seen to date.

GoTrax’s Everest electric dirt bike races onto the tracks and trails with a monstrous 4,000W rear-drive motor that conquers terrain effortlessly, peaking up to 8,000W. It tops out at speeds of 53 MPH, and the removable 72V battery provides a 50-mile travel distance on a single four-hour charge. There are a bunch of features here that only enhance your electric motocross adventures, with multiple riding modes, dual-shock suspension paired with hydraulic disc brakes, and deep-tooth off-road tires. You’ll also be getting dual headlights, a taillight with braking and turn signal functionality, mudguards, and an LED digital display to control its settings. It also weighs in on the lighter side of dirt bikes, even for an electric model – coming in at just 172 pounds.

Worx robotic lawn mower

Get the lowest prices yet on Worx’s Landroid robotic lawn mowers for 1/4 and 1/2-acre yards from $540

Amazon is giving us two of the best rates yet on the Worx Landroid Robotic Lawn Mowers ahead of official Black Friday sales, with the M 20V model down at $539.99 shipped, while the L 20V model is hitting $631.13 shipped. These two models would normally run you $900 and $1,150 more recently since they fell from higher $1,200 and $1,500 MSRPs earlier in the year. We’ve only been seeing the M 20V version keeping above $719 throughout the year, with the S 20V often getting the bulk of the savings, but today, we’re seeing a 40% markdown that takes things lower than ever before, saving you $360 and landing it at a new all-time low price – right alongside the new all-time low on its L 20V counterpart.

You can now get autonomous support outdoors in your yards with these Worx Landroid robotic lawn mower models, with the M 20V covering up to 1/4 acres while the L 20V handles lawns up to 1/2 acres in size. The advanced AI here keeps it on the most efficient path, raising and lowering its floating blade whenever it needs added clearance through more uneven sections of the terrain. You’ll be getting the full detail of smart controls through its companion app via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and as a bonus, the batteries that run them are also part of Worx’s PowerShare ecosystem, meaning you can switch them out with other tools from the brand that you may already have.

greenworks 60V 16-inch chainsaw

Walmart drops the Greenworks 60V 16-inch cordless electric chainsaw to new $139 low

As part of its ongoing early Black Friday sale, Walmart is offering some significant discounts on Greenworks lawn care and outdoor equipment, like the 60V 16-inch Cordless Electric Chainsaw that comes with a 2.5Ah battery, charger, and a bonus chain for $139 shipped. Down from its usual $268 pricing, the closest model you can find to this one over at Amazon is sitting $80 higher in price, at the moment. While we’ve been seeing this model bounce around in price all year, costs never fell below $200 before today’s deal, which is giving folks the opportunity at a 48% markdown that saves you $129 for the new all-time lowest price we have tracked. On top of the cash savings, you’ll also be getting a little bonus savings in the form of the included extra chain that comes with the battery and charger.

Those of you stocking up on firewood or are in need of a reliable method to cut up damaged limbs and trees from possible heavy snowfalls and winter storming will get just what you need with this 60V cordless electric chainsaw from Greenworks. The included 2.5Ah battery ensures 90 consecutive cuts on a single 50-minute charge, while the bonus 16-inch chain gives you a backup should anything happen to damage the stocked chain. It makes a conveniently lightweight and quieter addition to home arsenals, replacing gas-guzzlers with the same power to rival a 38cc model.

The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine.

BYD’s $18,000 electric kei car revealed up close with new details

BYD's ,000 electric kei car revealed up close with new details

It’s official. BYD is launching its first kei car. The new electric car is BYD’s smallest EV yet, and it’s expected to arrive next year with a starting price under $18,000. After it was spotted testing again, we are learning a little more about what to expect.

BYD’s smallest EV is coming in 2026

Kei cars, or K-Cars, as they are often called, are one of the most popular types of vehicles in Japan. They are the smallest street-legal passenger vehicles you can buy in the country.

To be classified as a kei car, the vehicle must be less than 3.4 m (134″) long, 1.48 m (58″) wide, and 2 m (79″) tall.

BYD’s smallest EV, and top-selling, is currently the Seagull (sold as the Dolphin Surf and Mini overseas), measuring 3,780 mm in length (148.8″).

We caught a glimpse of the new electric Kei car for the first time in May after it was spotted testing on public roads. Like many kei cars, including the Honda N-Box, Japan’s top-selling vehicle, BYD’s tiny EV has that quirky, upright, boxy design.

After being recently spotted parked at a test facility, new spy photos provide a closer look, including a sneak peek of the interior.

The new images, posted by ThinkerCar, show essentially the same kei car we saw in May. It’s a right-hand-drive vehicle, suggesting it will launch in Japan, the UK, parts of Southeast Asia, and possibly other regions.

For the first time, the interior is shown. Like BYD’s other vehicles, there’s a large floating infotainment screen at the center.

The electric car is expected to feature a 20 kWh battery, providing a WLTP range of 180 km (112 miles). It will also support DC charging speeds of up to 100 kW.

BYD’s Dolphin Surf (Seagull EV) is available with two battery packs: 30 kWh and 43.2 kWh, offering WLTP ranges of 137 miles and 189 miles, respectively.

By using LFP batteries from its battery unit, FinDreams, BYD could have the upper hand with costs. The Kei car is expected to launch in Japan in the second half of 2026 with a starting price of 2.5 million yen, or under $18,000. In comparison, the Nissan Sakura, Japan’s top-selling electric vehicle, starts at 2.59 million yen.

Earlier this year, Nikkei reported that Japanese automakers are already preparing for its arrival. A Suzuki dealer explained that “Young people do not have a negative view of BYD. It would be a huge threat if the company launches cheap models in Japan.”

Can BYD’s smallest EV find a foothold in Japan? Domestic brands like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan have long dominated the market. Check back soon for the latest updates.

Tesla launches a long list of new discounts and incentives in the US

Tesla launches a long list of new discounts and incentives in the US

Tesla has launched a long list of new discounts and incentives for its electric vehicles in the US as it seeks to capitalize on what will likely be its last strong quarter in its best market.

Since the beginning of the year, we have been reporting on how Tesla’s sales are declining in its largest markets, including Europe and China, with the US being the notable exception.

With the federal tax credit for electric vehicles set to expire by the end of the quarter, the US is also expected to become a challenging market for Tesla and electric vehicles in general.

Many electric automakers are trying to take advantage of the demand being pulled forward into Q3 due to the imminent end of the tax credit.

Tesla has introduced several new incentives that can be combined with one another. Here’s the full list:

All New Tesla Vehicles

  • $7,500 Lease Incentive (delivery by Sept 30)
  • $1,000 Off for American Heroes (military, first responders, teachers, students)
  • Free 1-Month Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Trial
  • Free Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Transfer from your current Tesla
  • Premium Connectivity Trial
    • 30 days for Model 3 and Y
    • 1 year for Model S, X, and Cybertruck

Model Y

  • $7,500 Lease Incentive
  • One Free Upgrade on select inventory (pre-discounted)
  • $7,500 Federal Tax Credit at Point of Sale (cash/finance only)
  • Lease from $349/mo (24-month) or $399/mo (36-month) with $3,000 down
  • APR Financing: 3.49% up to 60 months
  • 18 Months Free Supercharging (cash purchases only)

Model 3

  • $7,500 Lease Incentive
  • One Free Upgrade on select inventory (pre-discounted)
  • $7,500 Federal Tax Credit at Point of Sale (cash/finance only)
  • Lease from $299/mo (24-month) or $349/mo (36-month) with $3,000 down
  • 0% APR Financing with FSD (Supervised), 2.49% without

Model X

  • $7,500 Federal Tax Credit at Point of Sale
  • One Free Upgrade with FSD (Supervised)
  • Premium Connectivity Trial (1 year)

Model S

  • One Free Upgrade with FSD (Supervised)
  • Premium Connectivity Trial (1 year)

Cybertruck

  • $7,500 Federal Tax Credit at Point of Sale
  • 0% APR Financing with FSD (Supervised)
  • Free 20″ Cyber Wheel Upgrade ($3,500 value) on lease orders
  • Premium Connectivity Trial (1 year)

Electrek’s Take

It looks like Tesla is now relying less on 0% APR, likely due to the fact that now interest on car payments is deductible up to $10,000.

Though Tesla is still offering 0% financing on the Cybertruck for obvious reasons: it can’t sell them.

That said, it is still offering financing discounts for the Model 3 and Model Y, albeit at a lower rate than before the change.

18 months of free Supercharging on Model Y is also a significant discount, but that’s if you don’t take the financing deal.

It looks like Tesla is going all-out to try to secure as many buyers in Q3 as possible.

Volvo is ‘definitely not’ leaving the US, but it’s dropping these vehicles from its lineup

Volvo is 'definitely not' leaving the US, but it's dropping these vehicles from its lineup

Volvo-US-vehicles

Volvo confirmed it will continue selling vehicles in the US, but its lineup will look a little different. With plans to cut several models, Volvo will offer only about half of the cars it currently sells globally.

Volvo adjusts US lineup, cutting several vehicles

Days after Volvo announced it would begin production of the XC60 in the US, its best-selling vehicle, we are learning the move is part of a major shakeup.

Volvo has already begun cutting sedans and station wagons from its US lineup. The Swedish luxury brand confirmed plans with Reuters on Thursday, citing slowing demand amid the Trump administration’s new auto tariffs.

Outside of the V60, Volvo will only offer SUVs in the US, or about half of the 13 vehicles in sells globally. Production of the S60 ended at its South Carolina facility last year.

Volvo also told Reuters that the European-spec EX40 was also temporarily paused, but it would be available “shortly.” The company didn’t comment on why.

Meanwhile, its new electric vehicles, including the EX30 and three-row EX90, are failing to live up to the hype. Both were expected to see strong US demand, but Volvo is one of the most exposed to Trump’s tariffs.

Although the EX90 is built in South Carolina, many parts still come from Europe, which is now subject to a 25% tariff.

The EX30, which was expected to arrive at around $35,000, is only available in the dual-motor variant, priced from $46,195.

Volvo-vehicles-US

During an interview on CNBC’s Europe Early Edition, Volvo’s CEO Håkan Samuelsson said the company would “definitely not” leave the US market altogether.

“What we are doing is first of all, we want to fill our factory we have in South Carolina. It should be the strategic asset it was intended to be. So, we have to utilize it more,” Samuelsson explained.

Volvo-XC60

By bringing XC60 production to the facility, Volvo said it would “soon now produce something for everyone in its US plant.”

The EX60 has been Volvo’s best-selling model globally for years and is the most popular in the US. So far this year, the XC60 accounts for over a third of Volvo’s total sales. It’s also the fourth-best-selling luxury plug-in hybrid in America.

Volvo is set to begin building XC60 models in South Carolina in late 2026. It will also continue building the EX90 “for customers who want more space or are looking to go fully electric.”
