Anker SOLIX weekend flash sale drops expandable F3800 3,840Wh LiFePO4 power station to $2,599

Anker SOLIX has launched a limited weekend flash sale through March 9 that is taking up to 55% off a selection of power stations while also running alongside the early-bird benefits for its soon-to-be-released F3800 Plus Power Station, which you can learn about here. Due to this, we’re seeing the standard SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station dropping much lower than we usually see it direct from Anker, currently down to $2,599 shipped. This unit would normally cost you $3,999 at full price, with sales usually only dropping costs down to around $2,999. Outside of the two times we secured exclusive $2,099 lows from Wellbots, we’ve only ever seen it drop lower to $2,399 back during Cyber Monday. You’re looking at the second-lowest price we have tracked from Anker, and the third-lowest overall, which saves you a solid $1,400 on a unit that can cover campsites, road/RV trips, and home backup.

This is currently Anker’s most versatile power station model that also sports the largest battery, which even expands upwards. The SOLIX F3800 provides you with a LiFePO4 capacity of 3,840Wh that can be upped to as much as 26.9kWh with the addition of expansion batteries. It delivers juice to your devices and appliances at up to 9,000W when surging (6,000W normally) through its 15+ output options – which include dedicated hook-ups for your RV, EV, and even your home’s circuit breaker (though this last option requires a Home Backup Kit for sectional support or the newer Home Power Panel for whole-home coverage, as well as connections with your roof panels). Alongside the typical AC input for charging, you can also connect up to a 2,400W solar input, which refills 80% of the battery in 1.5 hours.

lectric XPedition 1.0 cargo e-bike

Lectric clears out XPedition 1.0 and XPeak 1.0 e-bikes with free gear and price cuts starting from new $1,099 lows

Lectric is offering two different closeout sales on its XPedition 1.0 and XPeak 1.0 e-bikes, complete with price cuts and bundle packages. The newest of these clearance savings are on the XPedition 1.0 Cargo e-bikes, with the single-battery model down at $1,099 shipped and coming with $336 in free gear, while the dual-battery model is down at $1,399 shipped and coming with $455 in free gear. Originally priced at $1,399 and $1,699, respectively, this is some significant savings which we haven’t seen before – especially with these models hitting new all-time low prices.

Lectric’s Xpedition 1.0 Cargo e-bikes may not be the new 2.0 models with their upgraded features and expanded capabilities, but they still offer solid cargo hauling support – especially with this price cut we’re seeing. They sport a 750W rear hub motor (peaking at 1,310W) that provides up to 20 MPH speeds when only using the throttle and up to 28 MPH top speeds when utilizing the five levels of PAS (as long as your state laws allow it). The standard single battery model boasts an impressive travel range up to 75 miles, or you can increase the range up to 150 miles by purchasing the dual-battery model.

Aside from the add-on gear you get from the bundled items, this e-bike comes pre-stocked with custom puncture-resistant tires, hydraulic mineral oil brakes paired with 180mm rotors, a headlamp, taillights, fenders over both wheels, and a backlit LCD display. Something to note here is that the e-bike is rated for a total 450-pound payload (with max rider weight being 330 pounds), meaning someone like me who’s 135 pounds can have another person (or multiple kids even) up to 315 pounds ride along too.

Lectric XPeak 1.0 off-road e-bike

We’re also seeing a changeup on the XPeak 1.0 Off-Road Step-Thru e-bike, starting with a price cut to the new $1,099 low and coming with $227 in free gear. Though it’s no longer accompanied by the free extra battery that its earlier closeout deal offered, you’re still getting a solid ride that can carry you up to 55 miles on one charge thanks to the semi-integrated 14Ah battery. You’ll be cruising at the same speeds as the above models, with its top 28 MPH speeds available when using the five PAS levels (depending on your local laws).

Like the above cargo models, there are some reliable features here you wouldn’t expect for their original price, with 4-inch puncture-resistant fat tires, hydraulic mineral oil brakes, a 7-gear Shimano derailleur, removable pedals, a thru axle wheel attachment system for tool-free installations, kickstand, a hidden cable routing system, an IP65 water-and-dust-resistant LCD display, and several mounting points for any additional add-on accessories you may want to install down the line.

Now if you instead want the latest and greatest of these two models, you’ll find the 2.0 versions of these e-bikes getting some solid savings during Lectric’s Spring Sale, with the XPedition 2.0 26Ah Dual-Battery model getting a fully-loaded $762 bundle package at $1,799 – the biggest we’ve seen on it to date, among others.

EGO Power+ string trimmer and leaf blower combo

Prep for spring with EGO’s 56V 15-inch cordless POWERLOAD string trimmer & 615 CFM blower combo at $230

Amazon is now offering the EGO Power+ 56V 15-Inch Cordless POWERLOAD String Trimmer & 615 CFM Blower Combo Kit for $229.99 shipped. This bundle normally goes for $329 at full price, with recent discounts since the summer only taking costs down to $249, though we did spy it dropping lower to $229 back in May and June (which hasn’t appeared again since). Today’s deal comes in with a 30% markdown, slashing $99 off the tag and landing it down at the second-lowest price we have tracked – only $1 above the all-time low from last summer.

With spring quickly approaching, this EGO bundle is a solid choice to prepare for your lawn’s upcoming trimming and debris-clearing needs, complete with a 2.5Ah ARC battery and charger to keep it all running should this be your first investment into this brand. The 15-inch string trimmer can provide up to 45 minutes of runtime with the battery and features POWERLOAD tech, giving you easier line feeding with the simple press of a button, as well as a telescopic shaft. The leaf blower, on the other hand, delivers 75 minutes of runtime, with a variable speed control dial for 200 to 480 CFM that boosts to 615 after activating the turbo mode.

Other notable EGO Power+ deals:

If you’re also looking to upgrade to a new mower, we spotted a few solid options from EGO that are going right now, like the 56V 21-inch Cordless Self-Propelled model that comes with two 6.0Ah batteries for a 100-minute runtime still sitting at its new $700 low. There’s also the 42-inch and 52-inch Z6 ZTR Electric Riding Mowers are currently $1,000 off and start from $4,999.

Hoverfly X3 Electric Scooter

Get up to 18 or 25 miles of travel at 20 MPH top speeds on Hoverfly’s X3 and X5 e-scooters at new lows from $340

Amazon is now offering the Hoverfly X3 Electric Scooter for $339.60 shipped. This newer commuting model hit the market in November carrying a $450 price tag, which it’s coming down from thanks to the 25% markdown today. We saw it fall to $366 during Black Friday, dropping lower to $360 during Christmas sales before keeping above $400 at the start of the new year. We saw it fall previously to $340, which is getting etched out by $0.39 here at a new all-time low price. You’ll also find it matching in price direct from Hoverfly’s website.

A solid means to get through life’s commutes around town while keeping on a budget, Hoverfly’s X3 e-scooter houses a 7.8Ah battery that provides you with 18 miles of travel on one full charge. There are two speed modes here to utilize – the first of them letting you reach 15.5 MPH while the other bumps thing to the maximum 20 MPH top speed. The 500W motor, along with providing some substantial speeds over other budget models, also tackles up to 15% inclines – there’s even a walk assist mode for when you’re caught off guard by a dead battery or inclines get to be too steep. Your ride is also smoothed out thanks to the dual suspension and honeycomb solid tires, with it also featuring a headlight, a tailight, and a built-in digital code lock for when it’s not in use.

If you want to score a little more range, the upgraded X5 Electric Scooter is also hitting a new all-time low price of $386.99 shipped. Still boasting the same features and a 500W motor, the difference here is that this model comes with a larger 12Ah battery that provides an extended 25 miles of travel on one charge.

Tern launches next-gen Vektron folding e-bike in the US – now with belt drive

Tern launches next-gen Vektron folding e-bike in the US – now with belt drive


Tern’s popular Vektron folding e-bike just got a big upgrade for the US market. The urban mobility brand has announced the launch of the fourth-generation Vektron, now available in two models, including a long-awaited belt-drive option that promises lower maintenance and a cleaner ride.

The Vektron has been a fan favorite for years, appealing to city riders, multi-modal commuters, and travelers who want a premium e-bike that folds quickly and stores easily. The new version retains its fast-folding frame, Bosch mid-drive motor, and compact portability, but introduces key improvements in comfort, ride quality, and drivetrain options – most notably the new Vektron P5i with a Gates Carbon Belt Drive. While the new version came to other markets a few months ago, the US is finally getting a chance to ride the new model.

“The Vektron has been a solid favorite of Tern riders, whether they are multi-modal commuters, urban dwellers in need of an e-bike that stores in minimal space, or campers looking to easily include an e-bike in their travels, ” explained Steve Boyd, General Manager at Tern USA. “This 4th generation introduces several important improvements while retaining its category-leading combination of Bosch mid-drive power, superior ride quality, and incredibly fast and easy folding action. We’ve also added a belt drive model and, through careful component choices, managed to deliver competitive pricing despite cost increases due to tariff pressures.”

Paired with a Shimano Nexus 5 internally geared hub, the Vektron P5i is designed for ultra-low maintenance and daily convenience. For those who prefer a traditional derailleur setup, the Vektron P10 is still available with a 10-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain and a more aggressive geometry.

But it’s not just the drivetrain that got a refresh. Tern borrowed design elements from its popular GSD and HSD cargo bikes to give the Vektron a more upright and comfort-focused cockpit. Riders get a taller stem, swept-back handlebars, and better weight distribution, offering a more relaxed riding posture ideal for urban cruising.

Despite its compact size, the Vektron delivers big design features. Reinforced frame components, including Tern’s robust OCL+ folding joint, give it a stable and confidence-inspiring ride that the company says sets it apart from other folders on the market.

Folding takes less than 10 seconds, and once compacted, the bike rolls easily on its own wheels – no awkward lifting required. It tucks neatly under a desk or next to a workstation, offering a secure indoor parking solution for city riders wary of bike theft.

Importantly, both new Vektron models are UL 2849 and EN 15194 certified, ensuring the electrical systems meet rigorous safety standards – a welcome reassurance in a market increasingly crowded by low-cost, uncertified imports.

The Vektron P10 will retail for $3,699 USD, while the belt-drive P5i model comes in at $4,099 USD. Both are expected to land in North American bike shops by the end of the year.

Electrek’s Take

Tern definitely deserves its place as one of the leaders in premium folding e-bikes that don’t compromise on ride quality. The addition of a belt-drive model is a major win for commuters and anyone tired of greasy chains and derailleur tune-ups. And in a market where safety certifications are becoming more critical, it’s good to see Tern doubling down on UL compliance. With the new Vektron, it looks like the Goldilocks of folding e-bikes just got even better.

Peak Energy’s $500M deal will deploy the world’s largest sodium-ion battery system

Peak Energy’s 0M deal will deploy the world’s largest sodium-ion battery system

Peak Energy sodium-ion battery

Burlingame, California-based Peak Energy just scored a huge win for sodium-ion batteries. The company announced a multi-year deal with utility-scale battery storage developer Jupiter Power to supply up to 4.75 GWh of sodium-ion battery systems between 2027 and 2030.

Under the agreement, Peak will deliver 720 MWh of storage in 2027 – the largest single sodium-ion battery deployment announced so far. The deal also includes an option for an additional 4 GWh of capacity through 2030, bringing the total contract value to more than $500 million.

Sodium-ion vs. lithium-ion

Peak Energy says its sodium-ion batteries degrade less over time and have lower operations and maintenance costs than lithium-ion systems. Because the batteries don’t degrade as quickly, operators don’t need to add more capacity later in a project’s life to maintain performance. They also use a fully passive cooling system that eliminates pumps, fans, and other components used in lithium-ion setups, reducing maintenance and safety risks.

The company claims its grid-scale sodium-ion system uses up to 97% less auxiliary power, offers about 30% better cell degradation performance over 20 years, and comes with a lower total cost of ownership.

Why this deal matters

The agreement marks a significant step forward for the emerging sodium-ion sector, which has been gaining momentum as a safer and lower-cost alternative to lithium-ion for long-duration and grid-scale energy storage. It also underscores the growing effort to build a domestic sodium-ion battery supply chain in the US.

“From day one, we’ve believed sodium-ion will be the winning technology for grid-scale storage, which is essential to meet rising demand from hyperscalers and AI,” said Landon Mossburg, Peak Energy’s CEO and cofounder. “Deploying the world’s largest sodium-ion energy storage system with one of the nation’s top independent power producers proves that sodium is ready for today and will dominate the future.”

Mike Geier, CTO at Jupiter Power, said the company is “excited to support domestic battery energy storage manufacturing as we continue to increase the deployment of firm, dispatchable energy when and where it’s most needed,” and called Peak’s approach to sodium-ion “a potential game changer for the industry.”

The new 2026 Lexus ES is an upgrade in just about every way [Video]

new-2026-Lexus-ES-EV

Lexus claims the new ES “takes sedan styling, luxury, and refinement to a higher level” with a complete redesign. With the 2026 ES arriving soon, Lexus offered a closer look at the upgrades inside and out.

The new 2026 Lexus ES debuts in EV and hybrid forms

The eighth-gen ES is bringing more than a sharp new style. Lexus overhauled its flagship sedan from the ground up for the 2026 model year, which will include battery electric (BEV) and hybrid (HEV) powertrain options.

Inspired by the radical LF-ZC show car, the 2026 ES has been fully redesigned with what Lexus calls the “Experience Elegance and Electrified Sedan” concept, aimed at further refining the driving experience.

The new design centers on a redesigned “spindle body” that extends from the hood to the bumper. It also features a redesigned grille, replacing the signature Lexus spindle grille as the brand looks for a new identity in the electric era.

Inside, the new 2026 ES features the latest version of the Lexus Interface multimedia system. The setup includes a 14″ touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12.3″ driver display cluster.

Based on the redesigned TNGA GA-K platform, the new ES will be available in battery electric (BEV) and hybrid (HEV) powertrains for the first time.

The 2026 Lexus ES lineup consists of two models: the ES 350e, a front-wheel-drive (FWD) model, and the ES 500e, an all-wheel-drive (AWD) model.

Lexus expects the ES 350e to have a driving range of 300 miles when fitted with 19″ wheels, while the ES 500e has an estimated driving range of 250 miles.

Both the ES 350e and 500e feature a built-in NACS port to recharge at Tesla Superchargers. Using DC fast charging, it can recharge from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes under “ideal conditions,” according to Lexus.

With its debut just around the corner, Lexus offered a closer look at the new 2026 ES inside and out in a new video.

Lexus has yet to announce prices, but the redesigned ES is expected to start at about $45,000 to $50,000, or slightly more than the outgoing model.

After launching the upgraded RZ earlier this month, Lexus said the ES would be next. It’s expected to go on sale in Spring 2026.
