Hiboy S2 SE e-scooter

Hiboy launches the S2 SE electric scooter with upgraded tires, brakes, fender, more at $300

As Hiboy’s New Year sale extends savings into 2025, the brand is now launching its new S2 SE Electric Scooter at a price cut down to $299.99 shipped. This new model will normally run for $550 at full price, but you’re getting the first chance to save on it today with this special rate. You can now take advantage of this 45% markdown while the savings last, slashing $250 off the going rate while grabbing an upgraded solution for your daily commutes.

Hiboy’s new S2 SE e-scooter arrives building upon the designs of its predecessors with plenty of upgraded parts to enhance your commuting experience – all at an affordable rate for those on a budget. Its Q235 steel frame houses a 350W Hall Brushless DC motor alongside a 36V 7.8Ah battery to hit top speeds of 19 MPH for up to 17 miles on a single charge, with the motor also coming with the power to conquer 15-degree inclines.

The tires have been upgraded for improved smoothness during your travels, with a 10-inch solid front tire for puncture resistance and a 10-inch pneumatic rear tire for better shock absorption – both come 17% wider than before for improved grip along the pavement. The improvements don’t stop there, as it also sports a 26% wider fender to prevent water toss-ups and a 20% increase in load capacity thanks to the steel frame. Other features include a folding design, LED headlight/taillight, an e-brake/drum brake system that is pretty standard for scooters, and an integrated HD LED display.

You can check out the full extent of Hiboy’s New Year sale – which includes e-bikes alongside its e-scooters – by following the link here to our original coverage.

Anker PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh power bank station

Anker’s PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh power bank station starts 2025 at $100

Anker is offering its popular PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh Power Bank Station for $99.78 shipped in the green colorway. You’d be expected to shell out $150 at full price on this model, but today it’s getting 33% taken off the usual rate. While we have seen it go as low as $80 in past months (mostly October and November), this is still a solid $50 being cut from the price tag at the third-lowest price we have tracked. It’s beating out Amazon’s pricing at the moment, which has both colorways discount and starting from $110.

A great choice for folks in need of day-to-day backup power, but want something larger than the common 5,000mAh and 10,000mAh power banks, Anker’s PowerCore Reserve delivers a whopping 60,000mAh/192Wh capacity with up to 60W charging speeds through its two USB-A ports and two USB-C ports. The compact design of its form factor means it only adds five pounds to the bag it’s stowed in, with recharging available by connecting it to a wall outlet or to a 60W solar panel (sold separately). A notable feature is the built-in pop-up light with two brightness levels and even an S.O.S button that causes it to brightly flash during emergencies.

Anker is having its SOLIX New Year sale through January 5, which has the two upgraded C300 DC and AC 90,000mAh models at their second-lowest rates. 

Worx Nitro 20V 5-inch cordless pruning saw

For the rest of the day you can grab Worx’s Nitro 20V 5-inch cordless pruning saw at $100

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is giving folks solid savings on the Worx Nitro 20V 5-inch Cordless Pruning Saw for $99.99 shipped. Normally going for $150 most days, this handy compact device has been up and down in price throughout 2024, with Black Friday having seen the lowest rate of $89 for a short period. For today only, you can score it here with a 33% markdown that takes $50 off the usual costs for the third-lowest price we have tracked. It beats out Amazon’s current pricing, which is currently down at $130.

Equipped with a “high-efficiency motor,” this 5-inch pruning saw from Worx arrives with an included 2.0Ah battery that takes 5 hours to reach full with its charger. The compact design allows it to fit in tight spaces far better than many larger models, making it an ideal tool for any pruning jobs your garden and surrounding foliage may require. It features a 5-inch bar and chain that starts up with a simple squeeze of the trigger, with a whole array of built-in safety accessories to ensure a controlled experience.

Tesla Robotaxi had 3 more crashes, now 7 total

Tesla Robotaxi had 3 more crashes, now 7 total


Tesla reported three more crashes involving its Robotaxis in Austin, Texas – now bringing the total to 7 incidents despite low mileage and in-car supervisors preventing more accidents.

Since the launch of the ‘Robotaxi’ service in Austin, Texas, where Tesla moved the supervisor from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat, it now has to report crashes to NHTSA.

In the first month of operation in July, Tesla reported three crashes with its Robotaxi service.

The automaker reported one more Robotaxi crash last month, and this one was interesting because it coincided with Tesla announcing that the Robotaxi fleet had traveled 250,000 miles from its launch in late June to early November.

It revealed Tesla’s current Robotaxi crash rate, which is about 2x higher than Waymo’s, despite in-car supervisors that prevent an unknown number of crashes.

Now, Tesla has reported to NHTSA three more incidents that happened with the Robotaxi fleet in Austin in September:

Report ID  Incident Date  Incident Time (24:00) City State    Crash With    Highest Injury  Severity  Alleged SV  Pre-Crash Movement  CP Pre-Crash Movement     Narrative       
13781-1178 7 SEP-2025 13:08 Austin   TX               Animal                     No Injured  Reported            Stopped      NM Crossing Roadway  [REDACTED, MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION]

13781-1137 5 JUL-2025 15:15 Austin    TX       SUV          Property Damage.  No Injured  Reported      Making Right Turn     Making Right Turn  [REDACTED, MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION]

Unlike other companies reporting to NHTSA, Tesla abuses the right to redact data reported through the system. The automaker redacts the “narrative” for each reported crash, preventing the public from knowing how the crashes happened and who is responsible.

Based on the limited information in Tesla’s reports, we know that one of the new crashes involved a Robotaxi driving into a car backing up, another involved a cyclist, and the last one involved an unknown animal.

Electrek’s Take

My favorite thing about reporting on those is the messages from Tesla fans who say: You don’t know how many of those Robotaxi are responsible for?

It’s funny because I agree, but whose fault is that? Tesla could do like every other company and report the narratives.

Waymo does, and it’s clear that it isn’t responsible for many of the crashes they are involved in. I am sure that’s the case with some of those Tesla Robotaxi crashes.

However, Waymo has hundreds of millions of rider-only autonomous miles, and Tesla has a few hundred thousand, all with a supervisor on board, a finger on a killswitch, ready to prevent further crashes. Who knows how many more crashes Tesla would have had without them?

I expect a few because humans generally have a crash, whether they are at fault or not, every 700,000 miles. Tesla has 7 in probably ~300,000 miles, which should be worrying to anyone, whether the Robotaxis were responsible or not.

Hyundai is cooking up a new off-road SUV, and it sure looks electric

Hyundai-off-road-SUV-electric

Hyundai is bringing “something big” to the LA Auto Show this week, and the teaser points to a slick new off-road electric SUV. Here’s our first look.

What is this off-road Hyundai SUV?

The LA Auto Show is just days away, and Hyundai is gearing up to steal the spotlight once again. Last year, it was the IONIQ 9, Hyundai’s first three-row electric SUV. What will it be this year?

Hyundai gave us a sneak peek of a new “extreme off-road show vehicle,” the Crater Concept, ahead of its upcoming debut.

Although details are still pretty slim at this point, the sketch shows a high-riding, rugged SUV, clearly designed for off-roading with massive tires and aggressive wheel arches.

Hyundai didn’t say what powertrain the off-road SUV will use, but given the closed-off grille and no visible tailpipes, all signs point to it being electric in some way. It could be a battery-electric (EV) or even a fuel-cell-electric vehicle (FCEV).

The Crater Concept looks a bit like the new Nexo, Hyundai’s dedicated hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. The updated Nexo introduces Hyundai’s new “Art of Steel” design language, which was first shown on the Concept THREE electric hot hatch in September.

Hyundai said the design theme “combines resilience with artistic form,” which exudes strength and sophistication.

The dour dot lamps on the Crater Concept look about the same as Hyundai’s new “HTWO” lamps, exclusive to its FCEVs.

Hyundai said the Crater Concept has been “crafted to amplify the same spirit and robustness found in Hyundai’s XRT production vehicles,” like the IONIQ 5 XRT, Santa Cruz XRT, and new Pallisade XRT Pro.

The design team at Hyundai Design North America also introduced its new design and ideation studio on Monday, codenamed “The Sandbox” internally.

Hyundai’s new creative hub is exclusively dedicated to creating new outdoor adventure vehicles and rugged Xtreme Rugged Terrain (XRT) gear.

Will the Nexo be next? It sure looks like it. Hyundai will reveal the Crater Concept during a livestream press conference at the LA Auto Show on November 20 at 9:45 am PT. Check back for updates.

Terawatt Infrastructure has switched on its newest commercial EV charging hub in Rialto, California, giving electric truck fleets a new high-speed charging stop along one of the US’s busiest freight routes.

The hub is situated on the eastbound side of I-10 and is designed for heavy-duty fleet use, particularly for trucks traveling from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach through Southern California’s industrial centers.

Neha Palmer, Terawatt CEO and cofounder, said, “Our network enables companies to reduce emissions and run a variety of routes across a number of vehicle classes with the confidence of a dependable charging solution. EV fleets can now travel further, more cleanly, without slowing down their operations.”

The Rialto site is built with high‑speed charging, security, and amenities that support daily freight operations. Here’s what it offers:

  • 18 pull‑through 350 kW DC fast‑charging stalls
  • 55 bobtail parking stalls for overnight or shift‑based parking
  • A driver lounge with wifi, climate control, and restrooms
  • License plate recognition for quick entry
  • Solar canopies and 100% renewable‑powered charging
  • 24/7 security with cameras and gated access

Terawatt’s first medium- and heavy-duty electric truck charging stop in California, Rancho Dominguez, opened in April.

In September 2024, Terawatt joined some of the world’s largest shippers and carriers to launch the I-10 Consortium heavy-duty EV operations pilot, described as the first-ever US over-the-road electrified corridor. As part of that effort, Terawatt is providing charging infrastructure, including software, operations, and maintenance support, at six of its owned charging hubs along the I-10 corridor.
