Bluetti is celebrating New Years with a massive sale through January 20 that is saving folks up to 57% off its lineup of backup power solutions, complete with the usual flash sale offers, select members-only pricing, and a 5% sitewide coupon code. With a focus towards travel needs, we spotted the popular AC180 Portable Power Station down at $455.05 shipped, after using the code AFF5OFF at checkout for the additional 5% off. Normally carrying a $999 price tag here, discounts have mainly kept costs between $549 and $649 on average for the last year, with September seeing a drop lower to $499 while October’s Prime Day event saw things go further to the $459. Thanks to the sitewide coupon, you’re standing to save $544 at a new all-time low price.

One of the brand’s most popular units for portable backup power needs, the AC180 brings a 1,152Wh LiFePO4 capacity into the equation that is ready to cover devices and appliances with an 1,800W output that surges up to 2,700W when needed. It offers 11 port options to achieve these means: four ACs, four USB-As, one USB-C, one DC, and even a wireless charging pad. Recharging takes as little as 45 minutes to reach an 80% battery when plugging the station into a wall outlet, or you can get that same recharge in 2.8 to 3.3 hours when utilizing 500W of solar input. You’ll find solar generator bundles for this model starting from $664.05 (using the coupon code) for a 100W panel, with other options for 200W, 350W, and 400W panels on the same page.

***Note: The prices below have not had the 5% sitewide coupon factored in – be sure to use the code AFF5OFF at checkout to score the most savings!

MOD Easy SideCar Sahara e-bike

MOD’s new and improved Easy SideCar Sahara e-bike is the ultimate ride for those with furry companions at $3,499 low

MOD Bikes’ New Year savings are lasting through January 31, with up to $400 being taken off its lineup of e-bikes. The largest discounts of this sale are hitting the Sidecar-specific models, with the brand’s new Easy SideCar Sahara e-bike coming in at $3,499 shipped. Down from its usual $3,899 rate, we saw it first drop this low back during early Black Friday sales when it first released, with December seeing a slightly higher $3,509 rate. The $400 markdown is returning costs back to the lowest we have tracked, which offers upgraded features over the Easy 3 SideCar model that is matching in price. You can learn more about these e-bikes below or by checking out our hands-on review from last month.

The first big difference you’ll notice on MOD’s new Easy SideCar Sahara e-bike is the new sand-beige colorway that has been inspired by the classic 1940 BMW R 75 Sahara motorcycle, complete with an upgraded dual-crown motorcycle-style suspension on the front fork. The aluminum frame houses a 750W geared hub motor (1,000W peak) paired alongside a 720Wh battery with five levels of torque-sensing PAS supporting the rider.

This combination provides top speeds of 28 MPH and carry you for up to 50 miles on one charge. It shares plenty of stock features with its predecessor, like the 7-speed Shimano ALTUS derailleur, a wide beam LED headlight and integrated LED taillight with brake lighting, hydraulic disc brakes, multi-terrain tires with fenders over each, a snap-on rear cargo rack (that is child seat friendly with a 65-pound payload), a wide saddle, a thumb throttle, a bell, and an S3 smart color display with a USB port.

One of the biggest changeups with this model is the expansion upon its sidecar, with things being extended slightly further from the bike’s frame, as well as being equipped with two headlights, a taillight, a detachable seat/seatbelt, and a small cargo rack on top. Pet owners will appreciate the continued effort made for animal companions, as the backside of the sidecar has been given a doggie door, allowing easier loading and unloading of your furry passengers, especially older animals who may struggle to climb over the sides.

goal zero yeti 500 and yeti 700 power stations

Get Goal Zero’s 499Wh Yeti 500 or 677Wh Yeti 700 power stations at return Black Friday lows from $337

Through its official Amazon storefront, Goal Zero is offering its Yeti 500 and Yeti 700 Portable Power Stations back at their lowest prices for $336.89 shipped and $449.89 shipped. These two models at full price would normally cost you $450 and $600, respectively, with these same low rates last seen during Black Friday sales. Today, you’ve got an opportunity to score $113 off the Yeti 500 and $150 off the Yeti 700 at the all-time lowest prices we have tracked. There’s even an option to bundle the Yeti 700 with a 100W solar panel for $587, down from $800.

With these sixth-generation power stations from Goal Zero you’ll ensure personal devices and small appliances get the power they need during camping trips, tailgating parties, and much more. While they share most of the same designs and features, the difference between these models comes in their battery capacities (Yeti 500 offers 499Wh, Yeti 700 offers 677Wh) and output power levels (Yeti 500 provides 500W surging to 1,000W and the Yeti 700 provides 600W surging to 1,000W).

They’ve been equipped with fast-charging tech, allowing a wall outlet to recharge the Yeti 500 in 90 minutes while the Yeti 700 takes a little longer at under two hours. Your small appliance and device charging needs are covered by the two AC ports, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, plus the bonus car port – and both can be hooked up to a solar panel with a max input level of 200W, with recharging ranging from 2.9 hours to 4 hours, depending on your model.

greenworks 80V 10-inch cordless electric pole saw

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 80V 10-inch Cordless Electric Pole Saw for $229.99 shipped through the rest of the day only. It normally posts up at its $300 price tag most of the time, but until midnight tonight, you can score $70 off that going rate. We last saw it at a lower price back in December 2023 when it fell to the $200 low, but you can score it today for your lawncare arsenal at the second-lowest price we have tracked.

Light and heavy-duty trimming jobs are made easier with this Greenworks 80V 10-inch pole saw. Thanks to the three-piece shaft, it provides a 14.5-foot reach and comes with a TRUBRUSHLESS motor that is the equivalent of a 25cc gas motor. The included 2Ah battery ensures up to 90 cuts on one 30-minute charge and can be interchanged with the brand’s other batteries for extended use. The trigger start tosses out the hassle of dealing with pull strings, with speed controls for comfortable cutting at your preferred pace and an automatic oiler to keep the chain lubricated and running.

Best ongoing holiday e-bike deals!

Schumacher Level 2 EV charger 4, NIU's 300P electric scooter 9, Anker 90K mAh power station from 0, more

A new week kicks off with a notable power station markdown, powerful electric scooter discount, and even a level 2 EV charger. More specifically, we’ve spotted Anker’s 90,000mAh SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station at $220 alongside the DC model for $170. The others we just called out include NIU’s 300P electric scooter with a 30-mile range at $719 and Schumacher’s 40A Level 2 wall charger which can add up to ’48 miles of range per hour’ to your EV down at $364.

Head below for more 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.

Schumacher’s Level 2 wall charger adds up to ’48 miles of range per hour’ to your EV, now $364 (Reg. $500)

Over at Amazon you can currently pick up Schumacher’s 240V Level 2 Electric Vehicle Wall Charger for $363.86 shipped when you clip the on-page $50 off coupon. Routinely sold for $500, this unit has been down between $410 and $415 for a little over a month now at Amazon. Today’s offer takes things even further, with an additional $50 off. This markdown delivers the second-best price we’ve tracked, coming within $12 of the all-time low. Learn more about this charger in the details below.

If you have an EV, I personally think it’s worth investing in a level 2 charger for your home. This makes refueling your vehicle with electricity much faster than a standard level 1 unit. The brand officially claims you can expect “from 15 to 48 miles of range per hour.” This will obviously vary depending on the EV you drive, but it’s safe to say that with this unit you can head to bed and have a lot of range, or potentially a fully charged battery in the morning. Other notable perks include a 25-foot charging cable, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth so you can monitor and schedule charging through the companion SchuPower app, as well as a weather-resistant enclosure.

Make summer a blast on NIU’s 300P electric scooter with 20 MPH speeds, 30-mile range, more at $719 (Save $230)

Today you can find the official NIU Global storefront at Amazon offering its KQi 300P 20 MPH 30-Mile Range Electric Scooter for $719 shipped. It’s also available at Best Buy. When this unit isn’t discounted, you’ll need to fork over as much as $949. Historically speaking, the lowest we’ve ever seen this unit go for was $650, and that was last year. In 2025, we’ve seen today’s offer beaten just once and it was $30 less than the current price, which isn’t a massive loss by any means. Both the gray and black colorways are on sale for the same amount, so feel free to pick either style. Learn more about what this scooter is capable of down below.

Powered by a 900W motor, this electric scooter can reach up to 20 MPH speeds. My go-to scooter goes just as fast and I absolutely love it. In terms of range, you can make it as far as 30 miles per charge, allowing you to comfortably wander up to 15 miles away and still make it back home. I like that this unit offers integrated suspension, which should reduce the impact of bumps when riding for a more smooth experience overall. There’s even a NIU app that you can download which paves the way for locking it, customizing its speed, viewing statistics, and more. You can even dial in a charging limit, helping reduce battery fatigue overtime which is a perk I use with my Segway.

Anker’s 90,000mAh SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station down at $220 today, DC model now $170

Update: Joining the deals on the AC/DC model below, the official Anker Amazon storefront is now delivering a another chance at Lightning deal pricing on the Anker SOLIX C300 DC Power Station with the pop-up camp lighting down at $169.99 shipped. This one carries a regular price at $250 direct from Anker where it is now matching in price and, while it has lately sold for between $190 and $200 at Amazon, is now at the lowest price we can find.

As part of its early Prime Day deals, the official Anker Amazon storefront is now offering its SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station down at $219.99 shipped. Carrying a $299 list price and typically fetching as much via Amazon over the last 4 months, this is up to $80 in savings and matching the price we are tracking on the Anker SOLIX site. Just keep in mind, that if you can put two of them to good use, the Anker site is offering a pair of them down at $399 right now, delivering an additional $40 in savings.

While this model has carried a regular price at closer to $250 since its release in 2024, pricing started to jump up at Amazon to as much as $299 back in March – the same price this model is listed at on the Anker site. Today’s deal isn’t the lowest we have tracked all-time – there have been a few drops to $209 and $189 this year – but this is the best we have seen on Amazon in last few months.

This model, at least for me, is one of the more compelling options in its price range. It maintains a relatively compact form-factor for something that carries a 90,000mAh LiFePO4 battery with up to 600W of peak power to keep your campsite and off-grid setup lit up and powered (it’s also not a bad option to have around the house in case of power outages or emergencies and the like).

You’re not going to be running an entire house on it, but it does deliver a whole lot more juice than your average power bank, plenty of connectivity options for all of your tech and small appliances, and comes along with a far more digestible price tag than some of these high-end, ultra-powerful stations that can cost thousands.

Robinhood gives out tokens of OpenAI and SpaceX in Europe. Stock hits record

Robinhood gives out tokens of OpenAI and SpaceX in Europe. Stock hits record

Robinhood shares hit record high amid introduction of new tokens

CANNES — Robinhood stock climbed 10% to an all-time high Monday after the company rolled out tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX to users in Europe as part of a larger crypto rollout.

It is the company’s first move to make private equity accessible via blockchain.

The announcement, which came Monday during the company’s product showcase in Cannes, is part of a broader push to expand Robinhood’s crypto footprint globally. The tokenized assets will be available exclusively through Robinhood’s EU crypto app, where more than 200 tokenized stocks and ETFs are now tradable 24 hours a day, five days a week with no commission or spread.

OpenAI and SpaceX stand out since neither company is publicly listed, and access to their equity has historically been limited to insiders and ultra-wealthy investors.

“We wanted to make sure we were giving access,” said Johann Kerbrat, senior vice president and general manager of crypto at Robinhood. “What we discussed on stage was how to address the inequality between people who’ve historically had access to these kinds of companies — and everyone else. That’s the really exciting part: Now everyone will be able to get it.”

“The goal with tokenization,” he added, “is to let anyone participate in this economy.”

To mark the launch, Robinhood is giving 5 euros worth of OpenAI and SpaceX tokens to every eligible user in the European Union who onboards to trade stock tokens by July 7. The company has allocated $1 million worth of OpenAI and $500,000 worth of SpaceX for the campaign.

This marks the first time Robinhood has tokenized private companies — a milestone made possible, in part, by the EU’s more flexible regulatory environment.

“There are no accredited investor rules here in the EU, so anyone who qualifies to trade stock tokens is able to access them,” Kerbrat explained.

While the EU rollout is underway, Robinhood says U.S. users shouldn’t expect access anytime soon.

Regulatory hurdles — particularly accredited investor restrictions — remain a major barrier to bringing tokenized private equity to the U.S. market. CEO Vlad Tenev has publicly called for reform, arguing that blockchain could unlock broader participation in private markets.

The tokenized shares are being distributed via Robinhood’s custody wallet into user accounts, part of a broader infrastructure push that also includes the company’s new Layer 2 blockchain built on Arbitrum, which were announced the same day.

And while American users can’t yet access tokenized shares of private companies, they are gaining access to crypto staking.

Robinhood also launched staking for Ethereum and Solana in the U.S., a feature that was previously blocked by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The move signals a renewed push to reintroduce yield-bearing crypto products to the domestic market.

Bitstamp acquisition accelerates international expansion, says Robinhood Crypto's Johann Kerbat

Kia is about to launch another ‘Big, Bold’ three-row EV, but you can’t have this one

Kia is about to launch another 'Big, Bold' three-row EV, but you can't have this one

Kia-three-row-EV

Kia is preparing to introduce a new three-row electric SUV in less than two weeks, and it’s not the EV9. The “Big, Bold Family Vehicle” marks a milestone for Kia, but it might be tough to get your hands on one.

When is Kia launching the three-row Carens Clavis EV?

After launching the Carens 2021, a three-row SUV, Kia’s CEO, Ho Sung Song, said it would “create a completely new segment and industry benchmark for family vehicles.”

With the longest wheelbase in its class and an affordable price tag, the Carens quickly became one of India’s top-selling multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs).

Just a few weeks ago, Kia introduced the new Carens Clavis, a premium version of its popular people mover that’s about to get an EV variant.

On July 15, the Kia Carens Clavis EV will make its official debut. The three-row MPV will be the first locally made Kia EV in India. It will also be one of two electric MPVs on the market, alongside the BYD eMax 7. BYD’s electric MPV starts at Rs 26.90 Lakh ($31,400), while the current ICE Carens Clavis starts at Rs 11.49 Lakh ($13,500).

Kia will announce prices in a few weeks, but the electric version is expected to start at about the same price as the eMax 7.

According to Autocar India, Kia’s three-row EV is expected to share the same underpinnings as the Hyundai Creta Electric, offering battery packs with capacities of 42 kWh and 51.4 kWh.

Hyundai’s electric SUV offers a range of up to 473 km (294 miles), but given the Carens Clavis EV is bigger, it’s likely to see a slightly lower range.

You can see the MPV already shares design elements with Kia’s latest EV models, like the EV9 and EV5. The new “Kia Digital Tiger Face” is featured up front with Ice Cube LED headlights and LED daytime running lights.

On the rear, the tail lamps are connected with a full-length LED light bar featuring Kia’s signature Starmap lighting.

The interior is expected to remain about the same as the gas Carens Clavis, with a “best-in-segment” infotainment system screen featuring dual 12.3″ navigation and driver display screens in a panoramic curved setup.

Check back soon for prices and final specs on July 15 when Kia officially launches the new three-row EV.
