We’re starting this week’s Green Deals by shining a spotlight back on the crazy new low prices coming from Rad Power’s latest sale, this time on the RadRunner Plus and RadRunner 3 Plus Utility e-bikes that are down at $1,299 and $1,699 while supplies last. Next, we have an exclusive new low for our readers on the Bluetti AC180P Portable Power Station at $487 coming from Wellbots. Following behind these are Worx’s 12A 350 CFM Trivac Electric Leaf Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher at $79, among other tools, as well as a limited Lightning deal on Anker’s PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh Power Bank Station for $90 (currently at 7% claimed while writing this). Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals from last week are in the links at the bottom of the page, collected together in our Electrified Weekly roundup from over the weekend.
Don’t miss out on Rad Power’s upgraded RadRunner Plus and RadRunner 3 Plus utility e-bikes at new lows from $1,299
There are still a few days left of Rad Power’s latest sale running through February 26, which is also giving us three new low prices on its RadRunner series of e-bikes. Alongside the $999 low hitting the RadRunner 2, there’s also the RadRunner Plus Utility e-bike at $1,299 shippedand the RadRunner 3 Plus Utility e-bike at $1,699 shipped. Normally these two models would run you either $1,799 or $2,199 at full price, with discounts before this sale having only gone as low as $1,499 for the RadRunner Plus and $1,899 for the RadRunner 3 Plus. These are the best new rates we’ve seen on these models, giving you $500 in savings and a versatile option for commutes, running errands, and more.
Hopping on the RadRunner Plus Utility e-bike, you’ll be getting 45+ miles of travel on a single charge of its 672Wh battery when utilizing its five levels of pedal assistance, while the 750W motor provides top speeds of 20 MPH. Of course, there is a throttle for pure electric cruising, though at the cost of mileage, as well as a collection of solid stock features. Your riding experience also benefits from the Kenda K-Rad 20-inch tires with fenders over each, Tektro Aries mechanical disc brakes, an LED Headlight that can be set to automatically turn on in lower light settings, an integrated taillight with brake lighting and a flash mode, a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, an integrated rear cargo rack with a 120-pound carrying capacity, a half-twist throttle, and a backlit LCD display with a USB port to charge your devices.

The upgraded RadRunner 3 Plus e-bike sports the same 750W motor and 672Wh battery combination to provide 45+ miles of travel through its five PAS levels at up to 20 MPH speeds. There are some notable differences here though, like the Tektro hydraulic disc brakes that provide better stopping power (over the RadRunner 2’s mechanical ones), as well as a 350-pound payload (50 pounds more), and a longer step-thru design for a more ergonomic riding position. There are also other features like puncture-resistant fat tires, fenders over both wheels, the LED headlight and brake-light capable integrated taillight (with the auto-on functionality), and LCD display, but surprisingly it doesn’t come with the USB port.
Don’t miss out on these deals while they last, with the other three e-bike discounts on the brand’s folding, cargo, and off-road models lasting until February 26 – plus, there’s the accessory deals accompanying the newest releases. As I stated, the brand is saying these new Utility e-bike lows will last as long as supplies do, so there’s no telling yet if they’ll continue after the sale ends.
Exclusive $412 in savings hits Bluetti’s 1,440Wh AC180P LiFePO4 power station at new $487 low
We have a 9to5Toys exclusive deal from Wellbots for our readers, which gives you the Bluetti AC180P Portable Power Station for $486.75 shipped, after using the promo code 9TO5POWER25 at checkout. This model would normally run you $899 here, with a higher $999 price tag accompanying it direct from Bluetti and even going higher to $1,099 at other retailers. While we don’t see many discounts hitting this power station on average, when it does get a price cut it usually only falls to $899, though we did offer similar exclusive savings back in October that brought things all the way down to $499. Today’s deal gives you a 46% markdown that cuts $412 off the tag for a new all-time low price.
The largest of the AC180 series, Bluetti’s AC180P portable power station makes a great companion for outdoor enthusiasts who might also want a backup power option for unexpected emergencies at home. It provides a 1,440Wh LiFePO4 capacity, delivering up to 1,800W (surging to 2,700W) output – plus, it’s rated to hold an 80% charge for three to six months, meaning a short charge time two to four times a year ensures it’s always ready to go. You’ll even be getting more port options than its counterparts, sporting four ACs, four USB-As, one USB-C, one DC car port, and even a wireless charger.
Recharging takes barely any time at all thanks to the turbo-charging tech here, which reaches an 80% battery in 45 minutes or a 100% battery in 1.8 hours when plugged into a standard wall outlet. There’s also the option to equip up to its maximum 500W solar input to recharge in 3.3 hours via the sun’s rays, or connect it to your car for a 12.5-hour charging period. Of course, you’ll also have full smart controls over its settings and performance, as well, all accessed through the companion app.
Blow it, bag it, mulch it with Worx’s 12A 350 CFM Trivac at $79
Amazon is now offering the Worx WG505 Trivac 12A 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Leaf Vacuum/Mulcher for $79 shipped. Normally fetching $100 at full price, we’ve mainly seen it keeping above $80 over the last year, though it did go as low as $69 during Black Friday and $65 during October’s Prime Day event. While not the lowest price, it still sits down on the lower end of the spectrum just $15 above the all-time lowest rate, giving you a solid 21% markdown here and a well-rounded budget-friendly lawncare solution for more versatile use.
Adding Worx’s Trivac to your arsenal lets you work far smarter over working harder thanks to the 3-in-1 functionality for blowing, collecting, and/or even mulching fallen debris throughout your yard. Using it as a standard blower provides 350 CFM, maxing out at 210 MPH airflow. You can also flip the switch to simply collect it all into the complementary bag, giving you an easier means to transfer everything to a trash bag later. According to the company, with its two-stage metal impeller and shredder blades, this Trivac model “mulches 16 bags of leaves down into 1.”
The operation doesn’t put much strain on the body, as the device only weighs in at 8.6 pounds, with an angled collection nozzle for easier cleaning under patio furniture or your deck. Keep in mind that this is a corded model, which means you can just plug and go rather than wait for a battery to fill back up first. If you want the latest model with upgraded power, you’ll also find the newer 600 CFM Trivac model down at $95 from its usual $120.

Anker’s PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh power bank station only adds five pounds to your bag at $90
Anker’s official Amazon storefront is having a Lightning deal on the popular PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh Portable Power Bank Station for $89.99 shipped in both colorways. Normally posted with a $150 price tag, we saw it spend most of the last year keeping above $100, though since November we’ve been seeing more frequent cuts down to $90 and the occasional fall to the $80 low. You’re looking at the second-lowest price we have tracked here today, which puts $60 back into your pocket and is beating out Anker’s direct site where it’s currently priced at $113. Don’t dawdle too long on decisions, while only 1% has been claimed when writing this, this model tends to sell out fast when stock is limited.
A solid choice for anyone wanting a larger day-to-day backup power option for their devices, Anker’s PowerCore Reserve beats out the usual 5,000mAh to 20,000mAh models with an even greater 60,000mAh/192Wh capacity. Through its two USB-A ports and/or the two USB-C ports, it delivers up to 60W charging speeds – plus, you can’t beat its bag-ready form factor coming in at just five pounds. Speaking of its design, the crown provides a reliable light source via the pop-up light, complete with two brightness levels and an S.O.S button for emergencies. It offers two methods to recharge its own batteries: either by plugging it into a wall outlet or utilizing up to its 60W solar input limit (sold separately).

Zevtron, ParkMobile, and Athena Partners Strategy Group are together supporting charging site owners and EV drivers affected by Shell Recharge’s shutdown of its EV charger software.
Shell Recharge is discontinuing its Shell Sky software in third-party commercial EV chargers in the US and Canada. It will service third-party commercial fleet EV chargers until April 30; after that, it’s lights out, leaving hundreds of EV charging stations across the US inoperable.
Zevtron, ParkMobile, and Athena Partners Strategy Group is deploying Zevtron’s white-label EV charging software across the former Shell Recharge network to restore full operational capacity to these chargers.
“Shell’s exit has left hundreds of chargers effectively stranded,” said Chris Mckenty, SVP of sales & marketing at Zevtron. “Our goal is to rapidly restore these stations to full functionality while enhancing their capabilities with flexible branding, seamless payment options, and improved management tools.”

ParkMobile will extend its capabilities to process EV charging sessions so users can both park and charge. “Integrating EV charging parking sessions into ParkMobile simplifies access for millions of drivers who already rely on our platform,” said Andy Harman, vice president of sales at ParkMobile.
Athena Partners Strategy Group will work closely with cities, businesses, and property owners to deploy the new solution efficiently. “We see this as a major opportunity to not only restore EV charging infrastructure but also improve it for the long term,” said Nick Stanton, managing partner of Athena Partners Strategy Group.
The partnership says it’s a “turnkey solution to ensure uninterrupted service, enhanced user experience, and improved revenue potential.”

The Volkswagen ID.4 was the third best-selling EV in the US last month, trailing only the Tesla Model Y and Model 3. Volkswagen’s electric SUV made a comeback after sales surged over 650% in January.
Volkswagen ID.4 was the third best-selling EV in January
Although ID.4 sales fell by 55% last year after Volkswagen halted production and deliveries in September due to a recall over faulty door handles, the EV made a triumphant return in 2025.
Volkswagen sold 4,979 ID.4’s in the US last month, up 653% from January 2024. To put it in perspective, VW only sold 646 ID.4 models in the fourth quarter and just over 17,000 in 2024. At this rate, ID.4 sales are on pace to reach nearly 60,000 by the end of 2025.
According to Cox Automotive’s latest EV Market Monitor report, the ID.4 was the third best-selling EV in the US last month, behind the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.

Over 102,200 electric vehicles were sold in the US in January, up nearly 30% from January 2024. Although sales were down from the record 132,392 sold in December 2024, a drop was expected over typical seasonal trends.
Tesla doesn’t provide a breakdown of US sales, so we will not know exact sales numbers until registration data is released.

Honda’s electric SUV continues to take the market by storm, with 3,744 Prologues sold in January. After delivering the first models last March, the Honda Prologue became the seventh best-selling EV in the US last year, with over 33,000 models sold.
Volkswagen announced the ID.4 was back on sale last month, with the “aim of re-instating the ID.4 to its prior position as one of the best-selling electric vehicles in the US and Canada.” It looks like it’s happening quicker than expected.

The new entry-level 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 RWD Pro model starts at $45,095, while the AWD Pro costs $48,995. Both are powered by an 82 kWh battery. Volkswagen said the 62 kWh battery will be available later this year. The larger battery provides an EPA-estimated range of up to 291 miles.
VW’s base models feature a gloss black grille, black roof rails, and a 12.9″ infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. The AWD version has 20″ wheels, a heated windshield, and a tow hitch.

To make room for 2025 models, VW is offering close-out prices on the 2024 ID.4, with leases starting as low as $189 per month.
