Closing out this week’s Green Deals, we’re stopping back in on Lectric’s Plunge flash sale that ends January 20 to give a spotlight on the brand’s XP Lite 2.0 Long-Range e-bikes that start at $999 and come with the largest bundle packages yet at $404 in free gear. We’ve secured an exclusive new low price for our readers on EcoFlow’s DELTA 3 Plus Portable Power Station that takes costs down to $541, with an alternate backup power offer that is seeing DJI’s Power 1000 Portable Power Station at 50% off for $499. For EV drivers, we also spotted Autel’s MaxiCharger AC Lite Home Level 2 EV charger dropping to its $455 low. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s Rad Power flash sale that includes a free extra battery with the RadRunner 2 Utility e-bike, among others – and much more.
Starting with Lectric’s standard XP Lite 2.0 e-bikes, which offer four unique colors (compared to the brand’s usual black/white options on other models), they’ve been given 672Wh batteries paired with a 300W motor (peaking to 819Wh) to provide up to 80 miles of travel via the five levels of pedal assistance at max 20 MPH speeds. For such a low price, they even comes stocked with some impressive features, like the hydraulic mineral oil brakes, BMX-style handlebars, 20×2.5-inch slick tires with a 3mm Hippo Skin liner and pre-Slimed tubes for anti-puncture resistance, a full color LCD display with a USB-A charging port for devices, and folding capabilities at the handlebar stem, main frame, and even at the foot pedals.
The big difference between the above models and Lectric’s black JW XP Lite 2.0 counterpart is the inclusion of the carbon fiber-reinforced Gates Carbon Drive belt system over the chained drivetrain. This delivers a quieter, smoother, and oil-free ride that not only improves its performance to more efficient levels but also ensures it will outlast chain-drive counterparts after long-term use.
There are two other models benefitting from this flash sale’s increased savings, which you can check out in full here, or to browse the entire lineup of e-bike bundle deals in the brand’s overall New Year sale, check out our original coverage.
Save an exclusive $258 on EcoFlow’s DELTA 3 Plus portable 1,024Wh LiFePO4 power station at new $541 low
Wellbots is giving 9to5Toys readers another great exclusive deal today, with the EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus Portable Power Station getting taken down to $540.94 shipped, after using the code 9TO5D3P14 at checkout. This newer model usually carries a $799 price tag since launching in July, with it starting today well under the direct discounted pricing we’ve seen on average from EcoFlow that only gets better once the exclusive promo code is factored into things. You’ll be saving $258 off the going rate, which comes in $76 under its previous low from Christmas sales as the best price we’ve tracked to date.
With only six months on the market, EcoFlow’s DELTA 3 Plus is already carving out a place for itself as a fully capable backup solution that doesn’t weigh so heavily on finances. It arrives with a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can be built up to 5kWh via the addition of expansion batteries from its counterpart DELTA 3, DELTA Pro 3, DELTA 2 Max, or DELTA 2 stations. Through the 13 versatile ports, it provides 1,800W output power which its X-Boost tech surges up to 3,600W to cover larger appliance needs far better than older station models of this same size.
This X-Boost tech takes things further for its own recharging too, as it allows for five fast-charging means to re-juice itself. A wall outlet will get the battery back to full in 56 minutes, which also lines up with the timeframe that EcoFlow’s Smart Generator 4000 would take. Connecting it to your car via an alternator charger can refill things after 1.3 hours of driving, or you can hook up to 1,000W of solar input to top it off in 70 minutes. Lastly, there’s the multi-charge feature that lets you take advantage of both solar charging and AC charging simultaneously.
Save $114 on Autel’s hardwired MaxiCharger AC Lite Home level 2 EV charger while it’s at a $455 low
Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront, Autel is offering its MaxiCharger AC Lite Home Level 2 EV charger for $455.20 shipped. Normally this model would fetch $569 at full price, with frequent returns to this $455 low over the last year (more frequently in the form of short-term Lightning deals). Today, that low rate is coming back with help from this 20% markdown, cutting $114 off the going price and even matching with Autel’s direct site too.
This 240V level 2 EV charger from Autel comes compatible with EVs using a J1772 connection – and for Tesla drivers, you can find an option to choose between a J1772 or NACS connector direct from Autel’s website. Providing up to 50A charging speeds, you’ll average around 37 miles per every hour its plugged in, regardless of the weather, as its upgraded 25-foot cable comes designed to tackle the job in cold as low as -40 degrees while the unit as a whole can withstand “snow, rain, hail, and sleet.” Through the companion app you’ll have full smart controls to monitor and manage settings, as well as optimize things to take advantage of off-peak hours.
DJI’s Power 1000 1,024Wh LiFePO4 power station covers laptops, phones, tablets, drones, and more at $499
While most people know DJI for its high-quality drones, its official Amazon storefront is offering some big savings on its Power 1000 Portable Power Station at $499 shipped, after using the on-page promo code G2IGEKLM at checkout. Normally you’d find this model at a $999 in full, with today’s deal starting off at $699 while the promo code strikes another $200 from this rate for a solid 50% in savings. While we have seen it fall lower during Cyber Monday and during the week of Christmas, this is still a sizeable $500 being cut off the going rate today, dropping costs among its lowest prices. You’ll also find this same deal direct from DJI’s site, but only after using the code DJIPOWERSAVE at checkout. There are also an array of bundle options on both the Amazon and DJI landing pages you can take advantage of too.
This power station from DJI comes as a perfect companion for folks who spend a lot of time out of the house and exploring the wilds, providing you with a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 capacity to juice up laptops, tablets, cameras, and other essentials – including the brand’s drones. It has 8 port options, with the two ACs dishing power at up to 2,200W (surging to 2,600W) to cover larger appliance needs, while the dual USB-Cs boast 140W fast-charging speeds each, among others.
With the addition of either a MPPT module or DJI’s Power Car Power Outlet to SDC Power Cable, you’ll be able to take advantage of its solar charging capabilities, with an impressive 1,600W max input available, which would refill the battery in 80 minutes. Otherwise charging via a wall outlet delivers an 80% battery in 50 minutes or a full one in 70 minutes.

Mercedes-Benz is gearing up to unveil the electric version of its best-selling SUV, the GLC, later this year. With its official debut just around the corner, Mercedes revealed a few new details, offering an exclusive first look at the new EV.
Mercedes offers an exclusive look at the new electric GLC
Although we got a sneak peek of the electric SUV in March during winter testing in Northern Sweden, Mercedes is giving us a better idea of what to expect.
“We’re not just introducing a new model – we’re electrifying our top seller,” Mercedes-Benz Group CEO, Ola Källenius, said on Thursday.
Mercedes promises the electric GLC “sets new standards” with a sleek new design, advanced tech, and its new MB.OS operating system.

The new GLC EV is an upgrade over the current model, offering significantly more space and improved ride quality. Since the wheelbase is 3.1″ longer than the current gas-powered SUV, the electric version has more legroom and headroom for front and rear passengers.
With all the seats folded, the electric SUV offers 61.4 cubic feet of space. The gas-powered model features up to 56.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Plus, you get an extra 4.5 cu ft of space in the trunk (front trunk).

Källenius said that with Mercedes’ new 800V electric architecture and latest batteries, the electric GLC can regain around 260 km (161 miles) WLTP range in just ten minutes. He added that DC fast charging at over 320 kW is possible.
The GLC 400 4MATIC with EQ Technology will arrive with impressive towing capability of up to 5,291 lbs. In comparison, the Tesla Model Y can only tow up to 3,500 lbs.

Added features, such as ESP trailer stabilization and trailer maneuvering assistant, make it even easier to tow with optimized stability and control.
Källenius also teased the new electric GLC design, calling it the start of a “new era” and “a new face of the brand as the first in a family of upcoming vehicles.”

The inside is just as impressive, providing a holistic experience. A “majestically floating next generation MBUX Hyperscreen” is optional, providing a spatial experience powered by the new MB.OS supercomputer.
Mercedes will unveil the new electric GLC at the 2025 International Motor Show in Munich on September 7, 2025.

Although official range figures will be revealed at the event, according to Car and Driver, which tested a prototype model, Mercedes said it expects the new GLC to provide a WLTP range of just over 400 miles, or slightly more than 300 miles on the EPA scale, from a 94.5 kWh battery.
Prices will also be announced in due time, but given that the current GLC 350e 4MATIC PHEV starts at $59,900 in the US, you can expect the electric model to be priced slightly higher, at around $65,000.

Tesla (TSLA) announced its 2025 annual shareholders meeting at the very last minute, and it pushed it all the way to November, the latest it has ever held the meeting.
Tesla generally holds its annual meeting in the summer and announces it way ahead of time.
Today, the automaker announced that the meeting will be held on November 6:
The board of directors (the “Board”) of Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla”) has designated November 6, 2025 as the date of Tesla’s 2025 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”).
This is highly unusual for Tesla. Here are the dates of Tesla’s last 5 annual meetings:

2020: September 22, 2020
2021: October 7, 2021
2022: August 4, 2022
2023: May 16, 2023
2024: June 13, 2024
At those meetings, shareholders vote on several matters, including the reelection of directors and shareholders’ proposals.
Tesla has not released any yet, but they are expected to be in the upcoming proxy statement, which Tesla should release in the coming weeks.
Why does Tesla need more time?
Electrek’s Take
I think Tesla is working on some proposals that are going to take time to put together and then to sell to shareholders – hence why the meeting is set for November.
There are two suspects: a new CEO compensation package for Musk or a merger/acquisition of xAI.
It could also be both, but I think that would be harder to swallow for some shareholders as both initiatives have a clear aim of giving Musk a bigger stake in Tesla.
I think sane investors should not want that, but Tesla shareholders don’t fit in that category. Much of Tesla’s value is attached to Musk’s lies and ridiculous predictions. The value will have to come down to reality at some point, but they are a bunch of gamblers who are enjoying the ride in the meantime.

A three-row electric SUV for less than $30,000? Sign me up. NIO (NYSE: NIO) opened pre-orders for the new Onvo L90 on Thursday, starting from 193,900 yuan, or about $27,000.
NIO kicks off Onvo L90 pre-orders in China
NIO claims the Onvo L90 is the lightest full-size three-row SUV in its class, with a curb weight just under 5,000 lbs (2,250 kg). In comparison, the Lucid Gravity has a curb weight of 5,966 lbs (2,712 kg).
The new flagship model is designed as a family-friendly SUV, offering ample interior space and advanced technology.
At 5,145 mm long, 1,998 mm wide, and 1,766 mm tall, the Onvo L90 is slightly bigger than the Lucid Gravity. In China, it will go head-to-head with higher-end electric SUVs like Li Auto’s L9.

However, the L9 is an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) and starts at around 409,800 yuan ($57,000), more than double the price of the Onvo L90.
The low price of 193,900 yuan ($27,000) applies only to those who rent the battery. Nio’s Battery as a Service (BaaS) costs 899 yuan ($125) a month. With the battery included, the Onvo L90 still starts at just 279,900 yuan ($39,000).
Nio’s new electric SUV is offered in six and seven-seat configurations. The interior features a massive 17.2″ floating infotainment screen at the center.
Other interior highlights include a three-zone climate control system, massage, heating, and ventilation for every seat, as well as an additional entertainment screen for rear passengers. And like many new vehicles in China nowadays, it even comes with a built-in refrigerator.
Powered by an 85 kWh battery, the Onvo L90 offers a CLTC range of 605 km (367 miles). It’s also based on NIO’s next-gen 900V platform, unlocking class-leading energy consumption of just 14.5 kWh per 100 km.
Buyers can choose from single and all-wheel-drive powertrains. The AWD version boasts up to 590 hp (440 kW), good for a 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) sprint in just 4.7 seconds.
NIO is offering an incentive for early pre-order holders. Those who place an order with a 2,000 yuan deposit will receive a 5,000 yuan credit off the vehicle and an extra 5,000 yuan for optional features and more. Nio plans to begin delivering Onvo L90 to customers, starting on August 1.
The L90 is the second Onvo-branded EV to arrive in China, following the smaller L60, launched last September.
