Today’s Green Deals are headlined by ALLPOWERS’ Spring Sale with up to 48% discounts on power stations, extra savings, free gifts, and more. One of the notable standouts during this event is the R2500 Portable Power Station bundled with a 600W solar panel for a new $1,349 low. Coming up behind it is Lectric’s St. Paddy’s Day Sale, which is continuing much of the brand’s spring offers while also increasing savings on some models, like the XP 3.0 e-bikes that are getting up to $574 in free gear and start from $999. Next, we have a selection of Greenworks electric pressure washers led by the Pro-tier 3,000 PSI model down at $297, as well as Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station that is undercutting the brand’s direct Spring Sale pricing to $449. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s MOD Spring e-bike Sale with $650 off its latest release, and more.

ALLPOWERS Spring Sale takes 48% off power stations with bonus savings, free gear, and more – all from $49

ALLPOWERS has launched its Spring Sale through March 25, with up to 48% being taken off power stations, solar generator bundles, and solar panels – with bonus savings for your initial cart total, as well as extra savings at certain pricing thresholds (more on those below) and free gifts. One new low price we’re seeing among this event’s direct website-exclusive offers is on the R2500 Portable Power Station that comes with a 600W solar panel for $1,349.10 shipped, after using the promo code AFSPRING at checkout for 10% off. Normally, this package would run you $2,199 at full price, which we’ve seen fall as low as $1,499 in past sales. While this is already a solid starting point, the savings get even better with the sitewide 10% off discount on your cart, which drops things lower than we’ve seen at $850 off, landing at a new all-time low.

Before we get into the solar generator’s capabilities, I want to go over the different levels of extra savings we’re seeing during ALLPOWERS’ Spring Sale. First, orders over $1,300 will receive an automatic 5% off discount, while orders over $2,200 will receive 7% off and orders over $3,000 will receive 10% off. However, you can get a sitewide 10% off your cart’s total by using the exclusive code AFSPRING at checkout, which doesn’t seem to stack with the other savings – meaning you can skip over those automatic discounts for the maximum savings on any order by just using the code! You’ll also score some free gear at certain thresholds too, with orders over $1,900 getting a free 100W solar panel, while orders over $2,500 get a free S300 288Wh power station and orders over $3,500 get a free 200W solar panel.

Arriving in a sleek and streamlined unit, ALLPOWERS’ R2500 power station delivers a 2,016Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity with 14 output ports that can dish out up to 2,500W of power, peaking at 4,000W. It provides the typical collection of smart controls that you can access through its app alongside four methods of recharging its own battery – AC, solar, auto, and dual AC with solar. Connecting it to a standard wall outlet refills the battery in about 1.3 hours, while utilizing its 1,000W solar input can do the same in two hours time (so this featured bundle with 600W panel gets you fairly close to this timeframe). These times can be cut down to just one hour when connecting both to an AC outlet while using the max solar input too.

There are quite a few other options for the R2500 power station, with the unit alone costing you $809 (down from $1,599). Next, there are a few varying solar generator bundles, like the power station coming with a 200W solar panel for $989 (down from $1,799), a 400W solar panel for $1,169 (also down from $1,799), or you can double its capacity with an expansion battery for $1,168 (down from $2,498).

***Note: The prices below have not had any of the extra savings factored in – be sure to use the promo code AFSPRING at checkout to score the maximum savings though!

Lectric XP 3.0 e-bike

Lectric’s St. Paddy’s Day flash sale increases savings on XP 3.0 e-bikes with up to $574 in free gear from $999

Lectric has launched its St. Paddy’s Day flash sale through the holiday next week, which is continuing much of its Spring Forward Sale pricing (along with the clearance sales and the extra battery promotion) while also offering a buy-two-get-one-free deal on accessories. We are spotting a bundle increase on Lectric’s popular XP 3.0 e-bikes, with the Long-Range models retaining their price cuts to $1,139 shipped with $574 in free gear while the standard models are at $999 shipped with $455 in free gear. These packages would normally run you $1,713 and $1,454, respectively, but you’ll be getting the biggest bundle savings we’ve seen yet in 2025. If you go with the standard models, you’ll be getting a comfort seat, suspension seat post, Elite headlight, an accordion style bike lock, and steel-encased front and rear cargo baskets. The Long-Range models also get this same gear with the addition of a phone mount, a bottle holder with a mounting adapter, and a bell.

The most popular of the brand’s commuting solutions, the XP 3.0 e-bikes all sport a 500W hub motor that peaks up at 1,000W to hit 20 MPH speeds, which can go higher up to 28 MPH speeds, depending on your state’s laws. The main difference between the standard models and the long-range models is the battery – which will either provide you with 45 miles of travel (standard) or up to 65 miles (long-range) when utilizing the PAS support. Keep in mind for folks who enjoy cruising with only electric power that you’ll get about half the mileage. Along with the free add-on gear, you’ll also enjoy some quality stock features, like the integrated rear cargo rack, puncture-resistant tires, 180mm hydraulic disc brakes, a foldable body, an LCD display, and more.

And if you’re interested in taking advantage of the sale’s buy-two-get-one-free accessory deals to deck out your e-bike that you already own, be sure to follow this link to the landing page to browse and shop among the large collection of included accessories.

Amazon is now offering the Greenworks Pro 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer for $296.99 shipped.

Jackery explorer 1000 v2 portable power station

Amazon beats out Jackery’s direct sale pricing on the Explorer 1000 v2 1,070Wh LiFePO4 power station for $449

Jackery’s official Amazon storefront is undercutting its direct Spring Sale pricing (ending March 12) on the Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station that is down at $449 shipped, after clipping the on-page $50 off coupon. Normally going for $799 at full price, discounts have mainly been keeping it at $499 in 2025, though we did spy it undercutting its Valentine’s sale last month in a similar fashion – with this rate only beaten out by the $399 low we saw during Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. You can pick one up for your backup power needs today with a $350 markdown, which is the best we’ve seen since November, landing the cost back at the second-lowest price we have tracked.

One of Jackery’s upgraded v2 models that sport the brand’s ChargeShield 2.0 tech for 62 forms of charging protections, the Explorer 1000 v2 can handle outdoor ventures and emergency backup needs alike with a 1,070Wh LiFePO4 capacity and 1,500W output (surging to 3,000W) through its seven port options. Plugging it into a wall outlet recharges the battery in 1.6 hours, which can be cut down to just one hour after you’ve activated the emergency charging features through its app – giving you ensured juice during sudden storm warnings or for last-minute plans. There’s also a maximum 600W solar input, which regains a full battery in three hours in the sun – plus, you can start towards that goal with a 200W solar panel bundled alongside it for $749 right now, down from $1,299.

Aside from this deal, we’re still seeing some incredible deals coming from Jackery’s direct Spring Sale, with up to 50% off units, new solar generator low prices, extra savings, and more – but don’t dawdle too long as the sale ends tomorrow night (March 12).

Former Tesla, Lucid execs form new EV brand Longbow, whose first two models are sharp and ultra-light

Former Tesla, Lucid execs form new EV brand Longbow, whose first two models are sharp and ultra-light

Longbow EV

A new niche EV brand, Longbow, has emerged into the public eye, hailing itself as ” the first-ever British electric sports car manufacturer. ” It has unveiled its first two featherweight models, inspired by British automotive icons and designed with real-road performance and the overall driver experience in mind. Despite debuting today, the limited hand-built production of these two featherweight EVs is expected to begin relatively quickly, and they start at a price that doesn’t just cater to the affluent.

You’re not alone if you haven’t heard of Longbow until today. The young brand was founded as recently as 2023 by Daniel Davey, Jenny Keisu, and Mark Tapscott – three industry veterans with a combined resume that cannot be ignored. Davey and Tapscott worked at Tesla during the development of the original Roadster, followed by senior positions at both Lucid Motors and BYD. Keisu brings experience and leadership from the electrified marine segment as she was formerly the CEO of X Shore – an electric boat developer no stranger to the Electrek homepage.

Although Longbow was only founded two years ago, its trio of founders say the EV brand is the realization of many more years of planning and preparation. They have since expanded their team to include an arsenal of engineers with backgrounds in road and motorsport, including former employees at Aston Martin, Formula E, Lotus, and Tesla.

The Longbow team has tasked itself with delivering world-class BEVs that are “spiritual successors” to the icons of British automotive, such as the Lotus Elise and Jaguar E-Type, reimagined for the modern world with bespoke EV platform technology and supreme dynamics. Their take on this legacy is a lineup of sleek vehicles designed, engineered, and built in the UK as Featherweight Electric Vehicles (FEVs).

The young company hit a milestone today, unveiling its first two EV models – the Longbow Speedster and the Roadster; check them out.

  • Longbow EV

Longbow’s first two EVs set to arrive in 2026 under $93k

Per a press release from Longbow, this is the first look at its first two featherweight EVs, which include a Speedster convertible and a Roadster. As FEVs, both models will weigh under 995 kg (2,193 lbs) and achieve the automaker’s motto, “Celeritas Levitas,” or “the speed of lightness.” Per the company:

Development of the Longbow Speedster and Roadster has pursued a singular philosophy: simplify, focus on beauty and engagement, then relentlessly add lightness, until all that remains is sheer automotive intoxication. Antithetical to conventional notions of what a battery electric vehicle (BEV) can be, Speedster and Roadster are striking, light, nimble, balanced, and engineered for an unparalleled driving experience.

The Speedster and Roadster sit atop an aluminum chassis designed for maximum stiffness while offering as little necessary weight as possible. The EV frame is complimented by lighter and more compact motors and batteries (something Lucid Motors is constantly celebrated for). These design elements combine to deliver what Longbow calls “the world’s first ‘proper’ all-electric sportscar for the modern enthusiast.”

The open-topped Speedster weighs 895 kg (1,973 lbs) and can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.6 seconds. It has a WLTP range of 275 miles. Longbow shared that the closed cockpit Roadster EV will follow the Speedster, weighing 995 kg while achieving the same 0-100k m/h time. It has a WLTP range of 280 km (174 miles)

As mentioned above, both models will be hand-built in the UK and are expected to hit the market in 2026. The Speedster will start at a price of ₤84,995 ($92,600), including VAT, and only 150 examples will be built. That build schedule will include 10 Luminary First Edition and 25 Autograph Edition models.

The Roadster’s starting price is ₤64,995 ($70,850), including VAT. It will include 50 Luminary 1st Edition models or 100 Autograph Editions. Reservations for both Longbow EVs are available now.

What do we think? Will these FEVs actually get made? Or is this another startup with cool designs that will run out of money before it scales? I hope it’s the former!

Tesla Takedown movement fights back against Musk/Trump after push to label them as ‘domestic terrorists’

Tesla Takedown movement fights back against Musk/Trump after push to label them as 'domestic terrorists'

Tesla Takedown

The Tesla Takedown movement is fighting back against claims made by Elon Musk and Donald Trump while protests are ramping up.

Earlier this week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk falsely accused the movement of Tesla protests to be financed by the Democratic Party’s ActBlue PAC, and President Trump tried to tie the protests with vandalism against Tesla vehicles and stores.

Trump went as far as claiming that “violence against Tesla dealership will be labeled as domestic terrorism.”

The Tesla Takedown movement has issued a statement in response to make it clear that they are against violence and destruction of property:

Advertisement – scroll for more content

We are a nonviolent grassroots protest movement. We oppose violence and destruction of property. Peaceful protest on public property is not domestic terrorism. They are trying to intimidate us. We will not let them succeed.

Their intention is to continue peaceful protests and they are in no way associated with the destruction of property – nor is there any evidence that they have been.

Tesla Takedown account on BlueSky added:

“We will not be bullied or allow our rights to be trampled on or stolen. If you’re ready to show Donald Trump and Elon Musk that there are no kings in America, join a Tesla Takedown protest in your community this weekend.”

Several more protests are now being organized for the next few days and into the weekends.

There are currently dozens of protests planned at Tesla stores and charging stations in the US, Canada, and Europe in the coming days.

Electrek’s Take

This is a slippery slope. I certainly condemn the destruction of the property of Tesla owners or vehicles and locations owned by Tesla.

It’s dangerous, and it doesn’t help the Tesla Takedown cause, but it seems to be a stretch to label that “domestic terrorism.”

As far as I can tell, the movement has never called for it. They have only called for peaceful protests, and they shouldn’t be associated with actions taken by extremists.

People have reasons to be mad at Musk and Trump, who are targeting social security, calling government officials “traitors” for supporting Ukraine, and alienating entire nations with senseless trade wars.

If they attack things they care about, is it unfair for them to attack things Elon cares about?

Meet Toyota’s new EV: Is the C-HR+ the affordable electric SUV we’ve been waiting for?

Meet Toyota's new EV: Is the C-HR+ the affordable electric SUV we've been waiting for?

Toyota-C-HR+-EV

It’s finally here. Toyota unveiled its newest EV, the C-HR+, a surprisingly stylish electric SUV. The smaller SUV will sit below the bZ4X and offer more range, a sleek new look, and faster charging. With an expected lower price tag, the Toyota C-HR+ could just be the affordable electric SUV we’ve been waiting for.

Toyota unveils the new C-HR+ as an EV

Remember Toyota’s compact C-HR? It’s back and better than ever. Toyota discontinued it in the US in 2022, replacing it with the more efficient Corolla Cross hybrid and first electric SUV, the bZ4X.

Toyota is reviving the name as it revamps its EV lineup. At its annual product strategy event last week, Toyota showcased an array of new EVs that are coming soon, including the new C-HR+.

The electric C-HR already looks like a massive upgrade over the discontinued gas model. Its clean, modern look is similar to Toyota’s other updated vehicles, such as the Corolla, Crown, and Prius. It will be available in both front and all-wheel drive configurations.

With two battery options, 57.7 kWh and 77 kWh, the C-HR+ EV has a WLTP driving range of up to 372 miles (600 km).

Outside of its GR performance models, the AWD version will be Toyota’s most powerful vehicle in Europe. With up to 343 horsepower (252 kW), it can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.2 seconds.

The FWD model with the 57.7 kWh battery packs 167 horsepower (123 kW) while the larger 77 kWh battery delivers 224 horsepower (165 kW).

Inside, Toyota claims its new electric SUV is a “class above” with an extended wheelbase providing an open, welcoming feel. The C-HR+ features a standard 14″ infotainment with dedicated EV routing.

Toyota loaded it with its latest connectivity and safety tech, including Toyota Safety Sense active safety and driver assistance systems.

Safety features like a Blind Spot Monitor, Adaptive High-Beam headlights, and a Parking Support Brake are now standard. Higher trims gain Park Assist and a Panoramic View Monitor.

Although official specs will be revealed closer to launch, Toyota said the electric SUV can achieve DC fast charging speeds of up to 150 kW. The company finally added a battery preconditioning feature for better performance.

At 4,520 mm (178″) long, the C-HR+ EV version is slightly longer than the previous gas model. It’s also a bit shorter than the Toyota RAV4.

Toyota will launch the electric SUV later this year in select European markets, with a full rollout in Europe scheduled for 2026. For those in the US, we’ll have to wait for the official word, but if it does arrive, which would likely be in 2026, the C-HR+ would sit below the bZ4X.

With the 2025 bZ4X starting at $37,070, we could see Toyota’s smaller electric SUV start in the $30,000 range. At that, it could be a true competitor in the US.

How do you feel about Toyota’s new electric SUV? Would you buy one in the US for around $30,000 to $35,000?
