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.

Kia plans to build 100,000 EV2 and EV4 models a year, far more than expected

Kia plans to build 100,000 EV2 and EV4 models a year, far more than expected

Kia-EV4-EV2

Kia is about to go on the offensive. The automaker plans to nearly triple electric vehicle production in Europe within the next two years as it introduces the new EV2 and EV4.

Kia doubles down on EV2 and EV4 production plans

With the EV2 and EV4 joining the lineup, Kia will offer an electric vehicle for nearly everyone. The EV2 is Kia’s smallest, most affordable electric car, set to sit below the EV3.

Despite its compact size, Kia said the EV2 will “redefine urban electric mobility” with a flexible interior, its latest connectivity tech, and more.

According to Kia’s CEO, Ho Sung Song, the company plans to build about 100,000 EV2s at its Zilina plant in Slovakia.

“The average annual production of the upcoming EV2 is expected to reach around 100,000 units at the Zilina plant in Slovakia in 2027,” Song told Automotive News Europe earlier this month.

Kia is also scaling up output of its first electric hatchback, the EV4. By 2027, Kia plans to build over 80,000 EV4s at the Zilina plant. If you add in the EV4 Fastback or sedan models built in Korea, “the EV4’s combined global production is expected to reach approximately 100,000 units,” Kia’s CEO said.

Song explained that Kia aims to produce 100,000 EV2 and EV4 models globally each year, as this volume will be high enough to make them profitable.

The new production target is considerably higher than what Kia Europe CEO Marc Hedrich told Automotive News Europe in August.

Hedrich said that combined EV2 and EV4 production could account for 10% and 20% of the output at the Zilina plant in 2026, adding that a production goal of 20,000 to 30,000 EV4s “would certainly make sense” next year.

Officials from Kia Europe explained that production plans shifted after the EV4 received better-than-expected feedback following its launch in August.

Kia began EV4 production on August 20, marking a milestone as its first EV built in Europe. Kia is investing €108 million ($125 million) in the Zilina plant to produce the EV2 and EV4. The EV2 will join in 2026.

The facility has the capacity to build 320,000 vehicles, but Kia said output could be expanded to 350,000 with overtime.

Kia-EV3

Kia has yet to reveal final specs, but given the EV3 is about 4,300 mm (169.3″) in length, the EV2 is expected to be slightly smaller at around 4,000 mm (157″). That’s about the size of Hyundai’s entry-level EV, the Inster, at 3,825 mm (150″) in length.

Like the EV9 and recently launched EV5, Kia’s compact electric car features a more upright, crossover-SUV-like design.

Although Kia’s overall sales are down 3% in Europe through August, EV sales are up 56% to 71,179. The EV3 is driving growth as Kia’s second-best-selling vehicle behind the Sportage and as the seventh best-selling EV in Europe. Through the first eight months of 2025, Kia sold 45,269 EV3s in the region.

The Honda Prologue scored big in August with incentives of over $12,000

The Honda Prologue scored big in August with incentives of over ,000

Honda-Prologue-EV-incentives

Honda’s electric SUV was the third most popular EV in the US in August, behind the Tesla Model Y and Model 3. Offering over $12,000 in average incentives, the Honda Prologue scored big as buyers rushed to claim the federal EV tax credit.

Honda Prologue registrations surge with huge incentives

As the $7,500 credit expired at the end of September, automakers were offering pretty notable discounts, many in the five digits with combined incentives.

The Honda Prologue has been one of the most discounted EVs over the past few months. Last month, buyers could score up to over $20,000 in combined savings, including a $7,500 credit, $9,500 in financing bonuses, trade-in offers, and 0% interest for six years.

According to the latest registration data from S&P Global Mobility (via Automotive News), the incentives helped propel the Honda Prologue to become the third most popular EV in August.

A total of 138,457 EVs were registered in the US in August, up 24% from a year ago. Honda Prologue registrations surged 81% to 9,005 vehicles, the data showed.

Since some automakers don’t report monthly or US sales numbers, the S&P Global Mobility data offers a snapshot of sales performance.

The Prologue was yet again one of the most discounted models, with incentives of $12,704 in August, according to Motor Intelligence. Last August, Prologue incentives were just $5,813. Honda’s gas-powered CR-V had just $2,016 in incentives in August.

Although the $7,500 credit expired on September 30, Honda is still offering generous incentives for Prologue buyers and lessees.

The 2025 Honda Prologue is available with up to $16,550 in lease cash in most states. Alternatively, Honda is offering 0% APR financing for up to 60 months.


2025 Honda Prologue trim		 Starting Price* EPA Range

EX (FWD) $47,400 308
EX (AWD) $50,400 294
Touring (FWD) $51.700 308
Touring (AWD) $54,700 294
Elite (AWD) $57,900 283
2025 Honda Prologue prices and range by trim (*Does not include $1,450 D&H fee)

Although the Acura ZDX will not return for a 2026 model year, Honda is planning to launch the 2026 Prologue. We have yet to learn prices, but we could see it priced slightly lower due to the loss of the $7,500 EV credit.

Hyundai announced earlier this month it’s reducing 2026 IONIQ 5 prices by up to nearly $10,000 on some trims. The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 now starts at under $35,000. Will Honda match it?

Oregon launches its first solar + storage DC fast charging station

XCharge North America (NA) has opened Oregon’s first solar + storage DC fast charging station at Arrowhead Travel Plaza in Pendleton, part of the Wildhorse Resort & Casino complex owned by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.

NetZero Energy helped bring the project to life, handling system design and project management. The solar canopy provides renewable power to the chargers, while the integrated batteries make the site more resilient and capable of off-grid operation during outages.

The new station integrates four dual-dispenser 215kWh GridLink chargers with 40kW of solar that can output up to 194kW per unit, allowing drivers to charge quickly with CCS1 or NACS plugs while reducing strain on the grid. The site’s location on Interstate 84 is key because Arrowhead serves more than 1.7 million vehicles a year. Many drive the steep, rough weather-prone Cabbage Hill grade, where a full charge is essential for safety.

“We partnered with XCharge NA because they provide a grid-friendly charging solution with battery storage that seamlessly integrates with a custom solar canopy – a perfect fit for our climate,” said Tom Fine, general manager of Arrowhead Travel Plaza.

Each GridLink charger includes bidirectional capability, meaning it can send power back to the grid or function off-grid in the event of an emergency. It also has a built-in safety system that monitors battery packs with multiple sensors and fire suppression technology.

With this project, XCharge North America now operates in 18 states. Cofounder and president Aatish Patel called Oregon’s first solar-supplemented DC fast-charging site a milestone: “Our Arrowhead Travel Plaza installation goes beyond simply delivering ultra-fast charging – it’s a powerful demonstration of how integrating our GridLink technology with solar power can offset grid demand, enhance a charging site’s resilience and flexibility, and even bolster the region’s energy architecture.”
