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. There’s also a headlight and taillights with brake light functionality, a rear cargo rack, a shock-absorbing saddle, and a smart LCD display.

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.

Ørsted’s largest solar farm in the world is now online in Texas

Ørsted's largest solar farm in the world is now online in Texas

The Mockingbird Solar Center, Ørsted’s largest solar project globally, is now online, next to protected prairie donated by the renewable energy giant.

This massive 468-megawatt (MW) solar farm is set to power 80,000 homes and businesses, providing a major boost to the Texas grid.

But the launch of Mockingbird Solar isn’t just about clean energy – it’s also about restoring precious ecosystems. Ørsted has donated 953 acres of the Smiley-Woodfin Native Prairie Grassland, which sits next to the solar center, to The Nature Conservancy. The donated land is now the Smiley Meadow Preserve, a protected area for tallgrass prairie that’s home to more than 400 species of grasses and wildflowers.

Tallgrass prairies are some of the rarest ecosystems in the US, with less than 1% of Texas’ original tallgrass prairies still in existence. Tallgrass prairie does a lot of heavy lifting for the environment, including storing carbon, preventing floods, and providing crucial habitats for pollinators.

“Native prairies are the rarest landscapes left in Texas – so much so that many people have never seen one,” said David Bezanson, land protection strategy program director for The Nature Conservancy in Texas. He added that preserving Smiley Meadow will not only conserve one of the best prairie remnants left but also help restore other prairie habitats and boost regional biodiversity.

The Mockingbird Solar Center, a half-billion-dollar project, is part of Ørsted’s $20 billion push to expand renewable energy production across the US. Beyond generating electricity, it will inject $75 million into local property taxes, benefiting schools and other public services. The project also created over 550 construction jobs and will continue to be supported by operations staff moving forward.

Ørsted worked with US companies, including First Solar, for solar panels and partnered with local businesses like Drake Construction and Pfifer Farms for construction materials. It also gave more than $50,000 to local volunteer fire departments in Roxton and Brookston.

With Mockingbird Solar now up and running, Ørsted has more than 6 gigawatts of onshore wind, solar, and battery storage projects either in operation or being built across the US.

Cramer names oil and natural gas stocks set to do well under Trump

Cramer names oil and natural gas stocks set to do well under Trump

CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Friday said companies related to natural gas and oil will thrive under President-elect Donald Trump’s administration and a majority Republican Congress.

“We’re hearing about all sorts of Trump trades right now, and many of these things have made insane moves in less than three weeks, to the point where, actually, they’re feeling precarious to me,” he said. “If you want a sustainable Trump trade, I say bet on the natural gas ecosystem. This is an industry that already had a lot going for it, it just needed some cooperation from the federal government, which it is about to get.”

President Joe Biden’s administration is largely opposed to fossil fuels, Cramer said, and the federal government has worked to block pipelines and paused new liquified gas export authorizations. This dynamic, coupled with a weaker global economy, caused the sector to underperform for much of the year, he suggested. But Trump has shown more favor to the industry, and Cramer pointed out that he tapped prominent oil executive Chris Wright to lead the Department of Energy.

Cramer recommended several stocks in the sector, including energy producers EQT and Coterra. The former is focused on natural gas and recently acquired peer Equitrans, raising the combined company’s valuation to an estimated $35 billion, Cramer noted. He added that Coterra is a good long-term holding and called the company “one of the shrewdest operators in the industry.”

He highlighted pipeline companies, including Energy Transfer and Kinder Morgan, and said he was especially bullish on Enbridge. Enbridge says it transports about 20% of all natural gas consumed in the U.S., and Cramer claimed the Canadian outfit has “strategically located assets.” He also named Cheniere and Sempra, saying the former is the “best playfor liquified natural gas exports.

“Seasonally, this is a good time for the commodity,” he said, pointing out that natural gas itself has climbed since the election. “But I also think there’s some optimism about the future of the industry driving this move.”

Jeep launches Wagoneer S EV lease prices starting at just 9 per month

Jeep’s first global luxury electric SUV will arrive at US dealerships any day. Despite its $72,000 price tag, lease prices for the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S EV start at just $599 per month.

2024 Jeep Wagoneer S EV lease prices

After unveiling its first global electric SUV, Jeep’s CEO said the Wagoneer S “marks a new chapter” in its storied history.

Jeep claims the Wagoneer S packs “exhilarating performance.” With 600 hp and 617 lb-ft of torque, the big-body SUV can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. Its 100 kWh battery pack also gives it a driving range of over 300 miles.

The electric SUV is unmistakably still a Jeep, but it did get several upgrades to distinguish it as an EV. The grille is now enclosed without the need to cool a massive engine, giving it a sporty, more modern look.

Jeep revamped its design with a new illuminated seven-slot grille with ambient cast lightning. It also fine-tuned its profile, adding flush door handles, a rear wing, and integrated fins for better airflow.

The first Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition models get exclusive dark accent design elements like 20″ Gloss Black Wheels.

Inside, the electric SUV is loaded with the latest tech and connectivity, including a best-in-class 45″ of usable screen space. The setup includes a 12.3″ center screen and an exclusive 10.25″ interactive front passenger screen.

According to Jeep, the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition can be leased for $599 per month for 36 months (10,000 miles per year). The deal includes $4,999 due at signing and a $7,500 EV incentive. However, you may want to act fast, as Jeep’s offer is only good until December 2, 2024.

Jeep Wagoneer S vs Tesla Model Y Starting Price Range Lease Price
Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition $71,995 +300 miles $599/mo
Tesla Model Y RWD $44,990 320 miles $299/mo
