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.

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi Fuso and Ample to partner on battery-swapping technology for electric trucks

Mitsubishi is partnering with Ample and Yamoto Transports to deploy an innovative new battery swap network for electric cars in its Japanese home market — but it’s not just for electric cars. Mitsubishi Fuso commercial trucks are getting in on the action, too!

Despite a number of early EV adopters with an overdeveloped concept of ownership, battery swap technology has proven to be both extremely effective and extremely positive to the overall EV ownership experience. And when you see how simple it is to add hundreds of miles of driving in just 100 seconds — quicker, in many cases, than pumping a tank of liquid fuel into an ICE-powered car — you might come around, yourself.

That seems to be what Mitsubishi thinks, anyway, and they’re hoping they’ll be your go-to choice when it’s time to electrify your regional and last-mile commercial delivery fleet(s) by launching a multi-year pilot program to deploy more than 150 battery-swappable commercial electric vehicles and 14 modular battery swapping stations across Tokyo, where the company plans to showcase its “five minute charging” tech in full view of hundreds of commercial fleets and, crucially, the executives of the companies that own and manage them.

How battery swap works for electric trucks

A truck like the Mitsubishi eCanter typically requires a full night of AC charging to top off its batteries, and at least an hour or two on DC charging in Japan, according to Fuso. This joint pilot by Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks, and Ample aims to circumvent this issue of forced downtime with its swappable batteries, supporting vehicle uptime by delivering a full charge within minutes. The move is meant to encourage the transport industry’s EV shift while creating a depository of stored energy that can be deployed to the grid in the event of a natural disaster — something Mitsubishi in Japan has been working on for years.

Trucks like the eCanter already serve a number of roles throughout the global truck market, including municipal waste collection, regional delivery support, and more.

The pilot is backed by Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s “Technology Development Support Project for Promoting New Energy,” with local delivery operator Yamato Transport testing swappable EVs for delivery operations on both its eCanter light-duty trucks and Mitsubishi Minicab kei-class electric vans.

Electrek’s Take

Electrifying the commercial truck fleet is a key part of decarbonizing city truck fleets – not just here in the US, but around the world. I called the eCanter, “a great product for moving stuff around densely packed city streets,” and eliminating the corporate fear of EV charging in the wild just makes it an even better product for that purpose.

Here’s hoping we see more “right size” electric solutions like this one (and more battery swapping tech) in small towns and tight urban environments stateside somewhat sooner than later.

Opel Grandland Blitz AWD electric SUV should give US Jeep fans hope

Opel Grandland Blitz AWD electric SUV should give US Jeep fans hope

Conquering New Terrain: The Opel Grandland Electric AWD

After becoming the first European brand to offer fully electric versions of every model it sells — and at the same price as the ICE models — Opel is going even further, with a new, AWD electric SUV that should give American Jeep fans hope for a new electric Cherokee!

Now part of the Stellantis, rather than GM portfolio of brands, Rüsselsheim-based Opel showed off the first official pictures of its new Opel Grandland Electric AWD — the company’s first all-electric SUV to feature the “Blitz” performance emblem and all-wheel drive.

“Our top-of-the-range Grandland SUV is a milestone for Opel,” says Opel CEO Florian Huettl. “Customers already have a choice of battery-electric drive, plug-in hybrid and hybrid with 48-volt technology. We are now offering even more choice with the Grandland Electric AWD and thus ensuring that our customers can enjoy maximum efficiency and safety in diverse weather and road conditions, combined with plenty of driving fun.”

Stellantis gets it right in Europe

Opel says its new, AWD Grandland is its most aerodynamically efficient model yet, with a drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0.278. That efficiency, paired with similarly efficient electric motors and a 73 kWh li-ion NMC battery give the electric crossover a 501 km (311 mile) WLTP range, while a combined 325 hp and 375 lb-ft of torque should make for suitably spirited acceleration to go along with all that green cred.

Suspension and handling, too, are promised to deliver on what Opel claims is a “typical” Teutonic driving experience in the Grandland AWD:

Both driving pleasure and comfort are further emphasized by dampers with frequency selective damping technology. This unique technology comes as standard on the Grandland Electric AWD and incorporates a second hydraulic circuit in the damper chamber to mechanically adapt the damping force in relation to the frequency. Depending on the situation, road surface conditions and driving style, it enables different damping characteristics for comfortable gliding at high frequencies – i.e. with short impacts such as on cobblestones or a manhole cover – as well as for a sporty, ambitious driving style with more direct contact with the road at low frequencies. The Grandland reacts even more immediately and directly to any command from the driver and, as is typical for Opel, remains stable when braking, cornering and at high speeds on the Autobahn.

OPEL PRESS RELEASE

The Opel Grandland Electric AWD ships with four standard drive modes that include “normal,” eco, sport, and 4WD mode, which simulates locking axles and true 4×4 off-road performance. The ESP and traction control systems adopt specific settings to enhance grip in 4WD mode as well, and maximum power and torque are instantly available.

Electrek’s Take

As you maybe could tell by now, feeding European Stellantis EVs into an AI image generator and asking it to “make them into Jeeps” is one of my new favorite things to do. This new Opel is no different, and the resulting image (above) paired with the models’ stated specs give me hope that the next wave of Jeep EVs will do better than the Wagoneer S at attracting buyers. All they really need, I think, is the right name — and the right price, to be winners.

With $25,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going?

With ,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going?

Deep discounts hit Jeep’s flagship EV as Stellantis struggles with demand

Like a 90s “gifted” kid that was supposed to be a lot of things, the electric Jeep Wagoneer S never really found its place — but with dealers discounting the Jeep brands forward-looking flagship by nearly $25,000, it might be time to give the go-fast Wagoneer S a second look.

SKIP THE STORY: get straight to the deals.

Whether we’re talking about Mercedes-Benz, Cerberus, Fiat, or even Enzo Ferrari, outsiders have labeled Jeep as a potentially premium brand that could, “if managed properly,” command luxury-level prices all over the globe. That hasn’t happened, and Stellantis is just the latest in a long line of companies to sink massive capital into the brand only to realize that people will not, in fact, spend Mercedes money on a Jeep.

That said, the Jeep Wagoneer S is not a bad car (and neither is its totally different, hideously massive, ICE-powered Wagoneer sibling, frankly). Built on the same Stellantis STLA Large vehicle platform that underpins the sporty Charger Daytona EVs, the confusingly-named Wagoneer S packs dual electric motors putting out almost 600 hp. That’s good enough to scoot the ‘ute 0 to 60 mph in a stomach-turning 3.5 seconds and enough, on paper, to convince Stellantis executives that they had developed a real, market-ready alternative to the Tesla Model Y.

With the wrong name and a sky-high starting price of $66,995 (not including the $1,795 destination fee), however, that demand didn’t materialize, leaving the Wagoneer S languishing on dealer lots across the country.

That could be about to change, however, thanks to big discounts on Wagoneer S being reported at CDJR dealers in several states, according to our friends at the Car Dealership Guy podcast.

  • Jimmy Britt Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Georgia, has a Wagoneer S with an MSRP of $67,590 listed at $43,104 ($24,486 off)
  • In Florida, Taverna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat has a $67,590 Wagoneer S slashed to $43,138 ($24,452 off)
  • Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat in Oklahoma has a Wagoneer S listed for $43,425 ($24,165 off)

“Stellantis bet big on electric versions of iconic American brands like Jeep and Dodge, but consumers aren’t buying the premise,” writes CDG’s Marcus Amick. “(Stellantis’ dealer body) is now stuck with expensive EVs that need huge discounts to move, eating into already thin margins while competitors focus on [more] profitable gas-powered vehicles.”

All of which is to say: if you’ve found yourself drawn to the Jeep Wagoneer S, but couldn’t quite stomach the $70,000+ window stickers, you might want to check in with your local Jeep dealer and see how you feel about it at a JCPenneys-like 30% off!
