EcoFlow’s March Monthly Madness takes 57% off power stations with bonus savings, rewards, more – all from $169

EcoFlow has launched its March Monthly Madness sale through the end of the month with up to 57% off in discounts for members (free sign-up), along with bonus savings at higher price thresholds, 2x and 3x EcoCredit promotions, and the option to spin the online wheel for rewards. Among this month’s selections, we spotted the bundled DELTA 2 Max Portable Power Station and a 220W solar panel dropping to $1,199 shipped. Normally fetching $2,598 at full price, we saw this same combination back a month ago dropping to $1,315, which was the former low until today. Now, while this sale continues, you’ll be getting a larger-than-ever $1,399 price cut to a new all-time low that also scores you up to 3x EcoCredits, depending on your member level (more on that below). You’ll even find it matching in price over at Amazon, but keep in mind you won’t be getting any of the EcoCredit rewards there.

Outside of the initial discounts on units, there are a few additional ways to save during this sale, starting with the extra 5% in savings you’ll get on orders over $3,000, which is automatically applied in your cart. Standard members will be getting 2x EcoCredits from their purchases and PLUS members will be getting 3x EcoCredits. Twice a day, you also have the option to exchange 500 EcoCredits to play the lucky spin game at the bottom of the page, which scores you even more savings, as well as two possible chargers or a RIVER 2 Pro power station. Of course, at the bottom of the page, you’ll also find options to exchange your EcoCredits for either discount codes or accessory gear.

Your out-of-the-house adventures in the coming months will be well supported by adding EcoFlow’s DELTA 2 Max power station to your travel kit – with it even able to keep essentials running at home should unexpected emergencies occur. It provides a 2,048Wh LiFePO4 capacity that you can expand as high as 6,144Wh with the addition of expansion batteries. It puts out 2,400W of power to cover most appliances through its 15 ports, with the ability to ramp that rate to 3,400W once its X-Boost mode has been activated. You can connect two solar inputs to it, up to its maximum 1,000W, to utilize the sun’s rays for recharging, or you can even dual-charge using solar and a wall outlet together to regain an 80% battery in 43 minutes, among other options.

***Note: The extra 5% in savings has been factored into the prices below that start over $3,000 – just know that the discounted price will be added and reflected in your cart. Also keep in mind that you can place multiple items in your cart and gain the extra savings once you’ve reached $3,000.

Rad Power RadCity 5 Plus Commuter e-bike

Rad Power Bikes is gearing folks up for spring cruising through April 9 with up to $699 in savings on e-bikes and up to 20% off accessories. Among the offers, including the continued low prices on its three RadRunner e-bikes, we spotted a return of the extra battery bundle for double travel times on the RadCity 5 Plus Commuter e-bike in the burgundy red colorway for $1,499 shipped. Coming down off its $1,699 price tag, this model was brought back to the lineup in December, with the sales we’ve seen since offering it at this same rate. This is the second chance we’ve seen to score it with an extra battery for doubled mileage (a $499 value), giving you the third-lowest price we have tracked. Just be sure to add both the bike and the battery to your cart for the discount to be applied automatically.

As I’ve stated before in past months, I regularly hop aboard my mom’s RadCity 5 Plus e-bike when I visit my family, and it has quickly become one of my favorites from under the brand’s flag – though I do wish it had been offered in the burgundy red colorway when they purchased theirs. You can ride through the warmer months ahead at top speeds of 20 MPH for up to 50+ miles achieved from the pairing of its 750W rear hub motor and the 672Wh battery.

You’ll utilize this maximum travel distance when activating its five levels of PAS (plus, there’s a bonus zero-level), and keep in mind that the bundle here with the extra battery provides you with a doubled 100+ miles of travel time. Alongside its performance, your ride is only enhanced with features like the water-resistant wiring harness, hydraulic disc brakes, an integrated taillight with brake light functionality, a standard LED headlight, fenders over both puncture-resistant tires, an integrated rear storage rack, and a backlit LCD display.

Rad Power’s Spring Gear-up e-bike deals:

  • RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike: $1,099 (Reg. $1,599)
    • 20 MPH for up to 45+ miles
  • RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike: $1,499 (Reg. $1,799)
    • 20 MPH for up to 45+ miles
    • comes with free add-on caboose ($199 value)
    • add both to cart for automatic discount
  • RadTrike Electric Tricycle: $1,699 (No price cut)
    • 14 MPH for up to 55+ miles
    • comes with free large basket
    • add both to cart for automatic discount

Blix Packa Genie Cargo e-bike

Enjoy spring cruising with your kids on Blix’s Packa Genie cargo e-bike with $148 in free gear at $1,599 ($2,247 value)

Blix Bikes is having a Spring Savings event with up to $500 being taken off three of its e-bike models, with the biggest of these deals being on the Packa Genie Cargo e-bike for $1,599 shipped that also comes with $148 in free gear. This cargo-hauling e-bike would normally run you $2,099 outside of sales, with the price only going lower to $1,499 a few times in 2024, which was last seen during the brand’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. We’ve mostly seen it in the time since at $1,699, though last month’s Valentine’s sale was the first we saw it return to the same rate we are getting here. All-in-all, with the included running boards and rear rack cushion, you’re looking at $648 in savings at the second-lowest price we have tracked. As is always the case with Blix models, buying any two e-bikes together gives you an additional $200 off your order after using the promo code RIDETOGETHER at checkout.

A solid option for cargo-hauling needs – including kids – Blix’s Packa Genie tops out at 20 MPH speeds for up to 40 miles on a single charge, thanks to the pairing of its 750W geared rear hub motor (peaking at 1,350W) with the 672Wh battery. You’ll have five PAS support levels with this model, helping you to maximize its mileage, or there’s also a throttle for pure electric riding that will cut down the travel range to around 25 miles.

There’s a collection of solid features on this model, like the full digital display that sports a USB port to charge your phone as you go, especially if you’re using it for GPS. You’ll also get an elevated ride with integrated head and taillights, puncture-resistant tires with fenders over each, hydraulic disc brakes, a 7-speed gear shifter, a smart bell, and the rear cargo rack (with a 200-pound payload) comes with many mounting points for further accessory add-ons. There’s even a complimentary net guard for the rear wheel for folks who plan to take kids along for the ride.

Trump’s latest offshore wind cancellation is a threat to the grid – ISO New England

Trump's latest offshore wind cancellation is a threat to the grid – ISO New England

Trump’s Interior Department halted construction on 704 megawatt (MW) Revolution Wind, the US’s first multi-state offshore wind project that’s already 80% complete. Grid operator ISO New England says the decision is a threat to the grid.

ISO New England released a statement responding to the stop-work order, warning that “delaying the project will increase risks to reliability.”:

As demand for electricity grows, New England must maintain and add to its energy infrastructure. Unpredictable risks and threats to resources – regardless of technology – that have made significant capital investments, secured necessary permits, and are close to completion will stifle future investments, increase costs to consumers, and undermine the power grid’s reliability and the region’s economy now and in the future.

Revolution Wind, a joint development between Ørsted and BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners, is a 65-turbine project capable of powering around 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut once it’s complete. It was expected to come online next year. The project has created more than 1,200 jobs.

On August 22, the director of Bureau of Ocean Energy Management sent a vague letter to Ørsted commanding it to halt all activities on the fully permitted Revolution Wind, citing “national security interests,” yet providing no details.

BOEM’s Record of Decision for Revolution Wind, reported in 2023 in Section 4.6, page 185, states that the national security effects of the project would be “negligible and avoidable.”

This latest move echoes Trump’s cancellation in April of New York’s $5 billion Empire Wind 1 project, which was already under construction off New York’s coast. No viable reasons were given for that stop-work order either, and the cancellation was reversed in May.

Kit Kennedy, managing director for power at Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), released the following statement in response to the Revolution Wind order:

The Trump administration’s war on the electricity needed to power the grid continues on all fronts. Halting Revolution Wind is a devastating attack on workers, on electricity customers, and on the investment climate in the US.

New England homeowners will feel this when they tear open their electricity bills and look at the surging costs of keeping the lights on.

This administration has it exactly backwards. It’s trying to prop up clunky, polluting coal plants while doing all it can to halt the fastest growing energy sources of the future – solar and wind power.

It makes no sense to say we have an energy emergency and then make decisions like this. Unfortunately, every American is paying the price for these misguided actions.

Tesla teases new product release on Friday

Tesla teases new product release on Friday

Tesla is teasing a new product release on Friday, August 29th, coming to Europe and the Middle East. It’s likely going to be the Model Y Performance.

On X today, Tesla has teased an upcoming product release coming this friday.

The post is cryptic. It only mentions ‘spoiler alert’ and the date August 29 with what looks like a close up of a vehicle with what appears to be a spoil – hence the “spoiler alert” reference:

There are main suspect is the Model Y Performance due to the spoiler reference.

Since the Model Y refresh in January, Tesla stopped selling the Model Y Performance. It is due to launch the top performance version under the new design.

When Tesla released the Model 3 refresh in 2024, it took about 4 months for Tesla to launch the new performance version.

Electrek’s Take

The only thing that I find strange with this likely being the Model Y Performance is the fact that they tweeted this from the Europe and Middle East account.

It would be strange for the Model Y Performance to launch there first, but who knows. Maybe Tesla started production at Gigafactory Berlin first.

I don’t think this will have a major impact on Tesla’s business. The Model Y Performance is the least popular version of the best-selling Model Y.

We don’t have the full mix of sales, but I wouldn’t be suprised if it represents less than 10% of Tesla’s Model Y deliveries.

The Model 3 Performance is probably a more popular option within the Model 3 lineup as it is a lot more fun to drive.

Genesis GV60 Magma EV sheds camo, revealing a radical new look [Video]

The GV60 Magma will have a distinct look and feel compared to other Genesis vehicles. As the first EV from its new performance sub-brand, the Genesis GV60 Magma will debut with enhanced power, advanced suspension, a sporty new design, and more. For the first time, it was caught on video racing around the Nürburgring, giving us our closest look yet.

Genesis GV60 Magma EV flexes new style at Nürburgring

We got our first look at the new Magma models last March at the NY Auto Show alongside the full-size Neolun concept.

Magma is “the brand’s expansion into the realm of high-performance vehicles,” Genesis boasted. Among the first vehicles to earn a Magma upgrade is the GV60.

Genesis fine-tuned the electric crossover SUV, giving it a wider and lower stance for improved control. The larger lower air intake contributes to the aggressive new look, while also serving to cool the batteries and motor, both of which have been upgraded for enhanced performance.

Earlier this year, we got a good look at the GV60 Magma during winter testing in Europe. Although you could see a few new design features, it was mostly covered in camo.

After it was recently spotted with less camo at the Nürburgring race track in Germany, we are getting an even better idea of what to expect when it arrives.

The video from CarSpyMedia shows the Genesis GV60 Magma EV with a production body and minimal camouflage.

You can see the high-performance vehicle flexing its power and handling as it rips around the track. Like other Hyundai Motor performance EVs, including the new IONIQ 6 N, you can expect the Genesis GV60 Magma to deliver over 600 horsepower, if not closer to 700.

The current Genesis GV60 Performance delivers up to 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, good for a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds.

Horsepower 0 to 60 mph
(seconds)
Starting Price
Genesis GV60 Performance 429 3.7 $69,900
Genesis GV60 Magma ? ? ?
Porsche Taycan 402 4.5 $99,400
Porsche Taycan Turbo GT
(with Weissach Package)
1,092 2.1 $230,000
Tesla Model S Plaid 1,020 1.99 $89,990
Genesis GV60 Magma vs Porsche Taycan vs Tesla Model S Plaid

Genesis will launch the GV60 Magma EV later this year in Korea, followed by the US, Europe, and other global markets. We will learn prices and final specs closer to launch, but given the Performance models start at $69,900, you can expect a higher starting price tag, likely closer to $75,000.

At that it would be significantly less than the Porsche Taycan Turbo and Tesla Model S Plaid. Will it match the performance?
