Anker SOLIX switches to full Black Friday savings with return lows on C300 90,000mAh stations from $140, more

Anker’s SOLIX Black Friday sale has officially switched over to its full savings through November 29, giving you a chance at up to $4,434 in savings across a lineup of power stations, solar generators, and home backup bundles. There have been some updates to its early sales period and we noticed the brand’s new C300 90,000mAh Portable Power Stations hitting new low prices, with the C300 DC power station down at $139.99 shipped (matching at Amazon) and the C300 AC power station falling to $179.99 shipped (also matching at Amazon). Normally costing you either $200 or $250, respectively, we’ve only seen these rates once before, back during last month’s Prime Day event, with today’s 30% markdowns returning to slash $60 and $70 off the going rates. You’ll be getting a second chance at the best prices we’ve tracked here until Black Friday ends, as well as the opportunity to be prepared with backup power for your personal devices on trips, for everyday use, and even in an emergency. You’ll also find the brand’s new (and smaller) C200 DC 60,000mAh power station at $110, down from $170, if you wanted to save a little more too.

As a reminder, Anker is also providing free gear on purchases that reach certain thresholds. Orders over $3,000 will receive a free 200W solar panel, while orders over $4,000 will get a free EverFrost Portable Cooler 40, and orders over $5,500 will get a free 400W solar panel.

The Anker SOLIX C300 power stations build upon the successes of the PowerCore Reserve with a 90,000mAh/288Wh capacity that’s been upgraded with LiFePO4 cells. The DC model provides you with up to a 300W output for your devices through its seven ports, while reaching 280W for its self-recharging thanks to the two bi-directional 140W USB ports being used together at once. There’s also an integrated LED pop-up light on top that helps with illumination needs when you’re stuck in the dark. The AC model doesn’t boast the dual USB charging, instead reaching the same recharging speeds with one port alone plugged into a wall outlet. This model has eight port options (with it obviously having three AC ports), and has traded the pop-up light for a light bar. You can also score either of these two models with a 60W solar panel at new low prices of $190 and $230.

Heybike’s latest weekend flash sale drops its Mars 2.0 folding e-bike by $600 to $899 low for first time since February

Heybike’s Black Friday sale is well into the swing of its savings game and for the third time so far we’re getting a weekend flash sale through Sunday on the brand’s Mars 2.0 Folding Fat-Tire e-bike at $899 shipped. Usually sitting at its $1,499 full price outside of sales, this upgraded model has mainly seen discounts take costs down to $1,099 or higher, with a few select drops to $999. Today’s deal is hands-down the best we’ve tracked, which we haven’t seen reappear since February. You’ll be saving $600 here, along with a Black Friday gift pack at the all-time lowest price.

Heybike’s Mars 2.0 e-bike rolls into view with four colorway options at 28 MPH top speeds with its 750W motor – plus the 48V battery delivers a solid 45-mile travel range to boot. There is an option to upgrade to a 1,000W motor for an increased 32 MPH speed along with other performance boosts, but keep in mind it’ll tack on an additional $200 to the price tag. It offers five levels of pedal assistance to support you through longer travels, plus a nice array of features at such a low price. Alongside the foldable frame, you’ll also enjoy 4-inch fat tires for better stability and smoother rides, as well as hydraulic disc brakes for improved stopping power.

Grab Worx’s Nitro LEAFJET cordless leaf blowers for your yard at new Black Friday lows starting from $94

As part of its ongoing Black Friday sale, Amazon is offering a Lightning Deal on the Worx Nitro 20V LEAFJET Cordless Leaf Blower for $93.99 shipped. Normally going for $170 at full price, it’s been seeing more frequent discounts in the second half of the year, with last month’s Prime Day event dropping costs to the former $95 low. That price is getting beaten here today though, as it comes in with a solid 45% markdown that saves you $76 and beats out the former low price by $1.

The Nitro 20V LEAFJET comes equipped by Worx with its brushless 2.0 motor tech and has a sonic turbine fan powered by a 4.0Ah battery, giving it a forceful jet stream of air output for your debris-clearing needs. It has a two-speed control (high and low) and two differing power modes: the volume mode clears wider areas at 410 CFM, while the speed mode produces a more concentrated airflow for heavier debris in your yard. You can also find its more powerful 40V counterpart benefitting from a 40% markdown to $151.

Amazon takes $149 off EGO Power+ Select Cut 21-inch 56V mower with 10Ah battery at $700, more from $143

As part of its ongoing Black Friday sale, Amazon is offering the EGO Power+ Select Cut 21-inch 56V Self-Propelled Lawn Mower with 10Ah battery for $699.99 shipped. This combination of mower and battery would normally cost you $849 most of the time, with discounts slowing since mid-June, though we did see it hit the $649 all-time low before that in April. Today, thanks to the Black Friday savings, the price has gone the lowest we’ve seen in five months, saving you $149 off its going rate at the third-lowest price we have tracked.

Many folks are constantly on the hunt for an electric mower at an affordable rate to replace their old, worn out gas guzzlers, and this is a great opportunity as EGO Power+ is considered one of the best makers of such equipment – plus, this is quite the treat to grab it with a larger-than-normal 10Ah battery that provides a full 75 minutes of runtime. The 21-inch cutting deck comes self-propelled to assist in maneuvers around the yard, while its Select Cut multi-blade system offers interchangeability and a six-position cutting height adjustment between 1.5 inches and 4 inches. It even delivers three options of functionality, allowing you to choose between mulching, rear-bagging, or side discharges – all starting up at the press of a button for simplicity’s sake.

Segway’s Black Friday sale takes up to $600 off Navimow H and i series robot lawn mowers starting from $799

Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront alongside its direct site, Segway has launched its full Black Friday savings across its Navimow H series and i series robot lawn mowers, with the Navimow H series models mostly discounted at Amazon starting from $1,299 shipped, with the other two models discounted to $1,599 and $1,999 – the latter of which can be found direct from Segway’s website matching this rate. These three higher-end models are coming down from their $1,899, $2,199, and $2,599 full price tags now, with most of the brand’s sales cutting the prices by $380 to $600 throughout the year. We last saw these $600 markdowns during last month’s Prime Day event, with them coming back around today to give you the lowest price we have tracked.

There are three slightly differing models within Segway’s Navimow H series – one designed to tackle yards up to 0.2 acres in size, one for 0.37 acres, and the last one covering 0.74 acres. The smallest one provides its services with a 180-minute runtime on a single charge, while the other two have longer 240-minute battery lives. All three deliver equal cutting height ranges from 1.2 inches to 2.4 inches, with the power to overcome 24-degree slopes with ease, as well as IP66 waterproof ratings to stand up against adverse elements, especially after inclement weather.

Unlike many competitor models on the market, the robot’s under Segway’s brand trade in the need for a perimeter wire to instead focus on RTK positioning, which works alongside the included VisionFence Sensor for enhanced navigation and obstacle avoidance. While you can certainly take over its performance through the array of smart controls, you can also just leave it to its own autonomous routines that you set, with it even returning to its charging station when the battery gets too low, starting where it left off once its back to a full battery. This is possible thanks to the guidance of its Global Navigation Satellite Systems that make sure to keep it within the set boundaries and also to track it down if it gets stuck on terrain or even swiped off your property when you’re not looking.

The brand’s two i series robot lawn mowers are also seeing repeating low prices with these savings, with one model tailored for 1/8-acre yards at $799 and matching at Amazon, while the other covers 1/4 acres at $1,039, also matching at Amazon. You’ll be receiving the same smart functionality, RTK navigation, and obstacle avoidance as the above H series models, and can get a full idea of what to expect when they arrive by reading our original announcement coverage from the beginning of the year.

Shipping threats around Arabian Peninsula rising, largest global shipowners organization warns

Shipping threats around Arabian Peninsula rising, largest global shipowners organization warns

The world’s largest direct-membership organization for shipowners, charterers, shipbrokers, and agents is warning that while it is still unclear how Iran will respond to Saturday’s U.S. attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the threat to commercial shipping in the waters around the Arabian Peninsula has risen.

“The Houthi threat against shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden has also gone up,” said Jakob Larsen, head of security at Bimco, which represents global shipowners. “The Houthis now threaten merchant ships with affiliation to Israel or the U.S., but attacks against merchant ships with other affiliations cannot be ruled out.”

Larsen said it is expected that U.S. warships and merchant ships affiliated with Israel or the U.S. would be the preferred targets for the Iranians.

In an email to CNBC, a Hapag Lloyd spokesperson tells CNBC, “We currently are still crossing the Street of Hormuz. Alert level is high, though, and things might change by the hour.”

Integrated logistics provider Maersk announced Friday it is temporarily suspending port calls to Israel’s largest container port, Haifa. The $4.2 billion cargo facility at Haifa, owned by Adani Group, has been a target of Iranian missiles but has not suffered any damage. Last week, Jugeshinder “Robbie” Singh, CFO of the Adani, debunked misinformation posted that the port was on fire from a strike on Iranian social media.

Bimco’s Larsen warned Iran could attempt a wider disruption of commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz through attacks on merchant ships. Antiship missiles or drones of both airborne and surface types could be used in these attacks, he said.

“The laying of sea mines would constitute another dangerous development, but Iran’s intent to do so is questionable due to the risk to Iran-affiliated commercial ships and the risk of environmental disaster in case a ship is damaged,” said Larsen.

The Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea, is recognized as one of the world’s most important oil chokepoints. The inability of oil to traverse through the Strait of Hormuz, even temporarily, can ratchet up global energy prices, raise shipping costs and create significant supply delays. In 2023, oil flows through the waterway averaged 20.9 million barrels per day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, accounting for about 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption.

“Given the Iranian threat to U.S. military bases in the region, availability of warships for protection of commercial shipping is probably limited, especially for commercial ships with no affiliation to the U.S. or Israel,” Larsen said.

The Strait of Hormuz handles less than 4% of global container trade but the ports of Jebel Ali and Khor Fakkan are critical intermediary points for global shipping networks in the region.

The majority of cargo volumes from those ports are destined for Dubai, which has become a hub for the movement of freight with feeder services in the Persian Gulf, South Asia, and East Africa.

The conflict in the region has also sparked ocean freight rates to surge from Shanghai to Jebel Ali, the Arabian Gulf’s largest port.

Freight intelligence firm Xeneta said average spot rates have increased 55% month-over-month, prior to the conflict escalation between Israel and Iran. Rates are now $2,761 per forty-foot equivalent unit (FEU), a standard unit for measuring the capacity of container ships and volume of cargo.

On the tanker side, spot rates for very large crude carrier (VLCC) voyages between the Middle East and China are up 154% week-over-week. Rates on the long-range tankers’ (LR2) Middle East-Japan trade route are up 148% and Middle East-Japan very large gas carrier (VLGC) rates are up 33%.

Closure of Strait of Hormuz would be "carnage", says Shipping Analyst

The reason behind the increase in rates includes the added expenses on security measures, higher bunker fuel prices, and fuel costs as vessels use more fuel due to faster sailing through high-risk areas.

Marsh McLennan, the world’s largest marine insurance broker, noted hull and machinery insurance rates for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz have increased by more than 60%.

In light of the latest wave of defense measures, Bimco is encouraging shipowners to review their security risk assessments and carefully consider mitigation measures.

“Merchant ships in the area should consider reducing their exposure to threats from Iran, for example, by routing away from the Iranian coast,” said Larsen. “We also recommend that ships maintain close contact to naval forces in the area through UK Maritime Trade Operations, maintain strong vigilance and increased lookout, report suspicious sightings and events to UKMTO, and increase the resilience of ships to absorb damage by ensuring watertight integrity and readiness of damage control organization including firefighting capability.”

“Bimco never directly recommends shipowners to completely stay away from a conflict area. Such a decision should be taken by the shipowner, taking into consideration all relevant factors of the security risk assessment, including, for example, the threat, the ship’s vulnerabilities, and the risk acceptance level of seafarers, the shipowner, and the cargo owner.”

Republicans can't stop wasting money - they want to scrap USPS' awesome EVs

US-government-EVs

The Senate version of the repubilcans’ tax bill won’t just add trillions of dollars to the deficit through a massive giveaway to wealthy elites, it will also take the US Postal Service’s awesome new EVs and sell them off for pennies on the dollar, wasting money simply out of spite for vehicles that were already cleaning your air and making your community safer.

The Postal Service has used the same Grumman LLV vehicles for decades, produced from 1986-1994. So, some of these trucks are nearly 40 years old, and all of them are at least 30 years old.

The vehicles are showing their age – they get poor mileage, they break down often (or catch fire, as about 100 of the old gas guzzlers did last year), they emit significant pollution, and they have poor ergonomics.

So, in 2015, the USPS started the process of finding a replacement.

Advertisement – scroll for more content

After many bids and back-and-forth (including startups going out of business), the USPS, led by Postmaster Louis DeJoy, picked Oshkosh’s “Next Generation Delivery Vehicle” (NGDV) as the next postal vehicle.

The vehicle has a goofy look to it, but it’s a goofy look for a reason.

The large window gives exceptional visibility, meaning the kids and pets that are likely to occupy residential areas are easier to see, and thus easier for drivers to avoid.

The low hood further enhances safety, by reducing damage done to a human body in a crash (unlike the land yachts which are so popular with consumers and have contributed to pedestrian deaths reaching all-time highs).

And the tall roof makes it easier for drivers to enter and exit, reducing strain on their bodies which means lower labor costs overall – less injury, drivers potentially being able to stay in their jobs longer, and so on.

But that’s just talking about the look of the vehicle – there are even more beneficial features, like much more cargo space, driver assistance safety features (around-view cameras, blind spot monitors and collision sensors), and air conditioning, something the original LLVs lacked (and which is only becoming more necessary as the planet heats up).

As for powertrain, the NGDV is available in both gas and electric options, with the gas version getting a paltry 8.6mpg (similar to the old LLVs), but the electric version being naturally much more efficient.

Electrification is a perfect choice for most delivery vehicles. These vehicles do set daily routes with lots of starting and stopping, in neighborhoods where people live and breathe, and return back to the same place every night. It’s an ideal application for EVs, for the vast majority of rotues.

Higher efficiency electric drive means money savings on fuel and maintenance for most routes. Overall, a highly electrified fleet was estimated to save taxpayers $4.3 billion over its lifetime.

But perhaps the most obvious benefit of electric mail trucks is the lack of pollution in the places where people spend most of their time: at home. (I don’t know about you, but my mail carrier’s broken truck stinks up the place every day, forcing me to close the windows as it fails to start half the time – and I’m pretty sure this is a common experience)

Despite these benefits, at first, USPS planned to buy only 10% EVs, with the remainder being gas. But after that announcement, several entities (including Electrek) pointed out that even by USPS’ uncharitable calculations, EVs would save money for the vast majority of routes (and that’s not considering health and environmental benefits).

Thankfully, reason prevailed over time, and the USPS gradually increased its plan such that it eventually said it would buy only electric trucks after 2026, with relatively few gas trucks acquired before then for the few routes that electric isn’t suitable for. It’s also supplementing those purchases with some off-the-shelf Ford E-Transits to function as delivery vehicles, with fewer custom features but an easier rollout as E-Transits are readily available.

The NGDV has suffered delays, but as the truck has finally started to roll out, it’s been enormously popular. When the truck started use last year in Atlanta, drivers immediately loved it. They loved the new features, better safety, and less stress on their bodies.

Republicans move to undo these improvements, wasting taxpayer dollars

And so, of course, republicans are now threatening this unequivocally good thing in a way that’s only going to cost taxpayers more money and ensure that your mail costs, the pollution you breathe in your home and the danger to your neighborhood all increase.

As reported by the Washington Post, Senate republicans are considering a version of the tax bill that would auction off these vehicles, at pennies on the dollar, seemingly simply out of spite for the program.

As usual, republican justifications for the billions of dollars in waste they’re proposing don’t stand up to even the slightest amount of scrutiny.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul stated that the plan “aims to cut unnecessary costs and focus USPS on delivering mail and not achieving the environmental initiatives pushed by the Biden Administration.”

But Paul ought to know this is false, because he’s part of the Senate, the body that approved these vehicles in the first place in 2022 (and, if you remember your high school civics class as Paul apparently does not, the Senate is not part of the “Biden Administration”). Nor is the USPS directly part of any presidential administration, since it is an independent federal agency, and during the bidding process was headed by Louis DeJoy, who was appointed during one Mr. Donald Trump’s first stint squatting in the White House.

Paul should also know that the bidding process started in 2015, and thus that the majority of it occurred while nobody named Biden was in the White House in the first place.

He also ought to know that most of that money is already spent, and selling off items the USPS already owns for pennies on the dollar doesn’t “save” anyone any money. Neither does having to buy all new gas vehicles, with higher fueling and maintenance costs, to replace them – this is the very definition of “unnecessary costs.”

Worse, falling back to the old LLVs and restarting the bidding process for their replacement would take more time and cause more waste. And in the interim we’d be stuck with these “obsolete” vehicles which, as covered above, are inefficient, unsafe, lack features, and routinely catch fire. All of this gets in the way of the focus on delivering mail.

So, Paul is either lying or stupid, but given the letter after his name, we’re pretty sure it’s both.

The USPS rightly pointed out what a stupid idea this is, stating “The funds realized by auctioning the vehicles and infrastructure would be negligible. Much of infrastructure is literally buried under parking lots, and there is no market for used charging equipment” (hmm, tearing out charging equipment for no benefit at all? where have we heard that before…). It said this action “will seriously cripple our ability to replace an aging and obsolete delivery fleet.”

It further urged the Senate “to pause and consider the substantial harm this proposal would cause to the Postal Service and our customers, your constituents.”

But, given the republican party’s current direction, maybe that exhortation would backfire. Harm seems to be precisely what they want, as reflected in everything they’re doing these days.

If you do happen to be one of those constituents, particularly in a republican state, it might be worth giving your Senator a call and asking them to stop wasting your money and raising your mail costs by selling off money-saving vehicles that promise to clean the air of your community. Here’s where you can find their contact info.

Among republicans’ proposed cuts is the rooftop solar credit. That means you could have only until the end of this year to install rooftop solar on your home, before republicans raise the cost of doing so by an average of ~$10,000. So if you want to go solar, get started now, because these things take time and the system needs to be active before you file for the credit.

Satellite images show activity at Iran's Fordo nuclear facility before U.S. air strikes

Maxar Technologies, a U.S. defense contractor, released satellite imagery on Sunday showing activity at Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility prior to U.S. air strikes.

The images of the secretive plant, which were collected on Thursday and Friday, depict truck and vehicle activity near to the entrance of the underground military complex.

Located 300 feet under a mountain and reinforced by layers of concrete, Iran’s fortress-like Fordo facility is situated to the south of Iran’s capital of Tehran. It is the country’s most hardened and advanced nuclear site.

Alongside nuclear facilities at Natanz and Isfahan, Fordo was the target of U.S. air strikes on Saturday. Trump described the incursion as a “spectacular military success” that “completely obliterated” Iran’s key enrichment facilities.

The U.S. president’s claim about the result of the operation could not be independently confirmed. The International Atomic Energy Agency and Iran’s nuclear safety center had reported no radiation or contamination at the nuclear centers following the attacks, as of Sunday morning London time.
