Navee drops new flagship ST3 Pro electric scooter with damping arm suspension and Apple Find My to $850 + free gear

With Memorial Day having passed, Navee is jumping right into its Father’s Day Savings event with up to $264 in discounts across four of its newest e-scooters. The sale is headlined by Navee’s flagship ST3 Pro Electric Scooter that comes with $64 in free gear at $849.99 shipped. This entire package would normally cost you $1,014 in full these days ($950 for just the scooter), which has come down from its original $1,299 price tag from when it was unveiled at CES 2025 through its launch at the end of March. The biggest discount we saw in the time since was the early-bird launch discount to $899, which is getting beaten out here by today’s deal. All-in-all, despite the savings here only totaling up to $164, you’re still getting a high-performance commuting solution at the lowest price we have tracked. Head below for more.

Navee’s flagship ST3 Pro electric scooter is a commuter with serious get-up-and-go power, coming equipped with a 600W motor (1,350 peak) and a 12.75Ah battery that can carry you up to 46.6 miles on a single charge and reach 25 MPH top speeds – plus, that peak power is ready to conquer up to 28% inclines. A standout feature here is the brand’s new automotive-grade damping arm suspension system that will smooth out your travels at the front and rear, thanks to the four polymer arms. And security gets a step up from other scooters with the addition of Apple Find My too.

There’s plenty more to be impressed by on Navee’s ST3 Pro electric scooter, like the triple-braking system made up of hydraulic disc, drum, and automotive-grade eABS brakes, the latter of which also boasts regenerative braking capabilities to recycle energy for prolonged journeys. There are also self-healing tires, an auto-on headlight, integrated turn signals and a taillight with brake lighting, lighting under the footboards with 15 different modes, a traction control system, a 3.6-inch LED display, its folding frame, and some additional remote smart controls via its companion app, like manual and auto locking, among others. Among the free gear, you’ll get an e-scooter lock and a phone holder for added convenience and peace of mind.

Navee’s other Father’s Day e-scooter deals:

  • GT3 Electric Scooter: $500 (Reg. $614)
    • 20 MPH for up to 31 miles
    • Apple Find My, smart locking, quad shock absorption, dual braking, and more.
    • comes with lock and phone holder
  • GT3 Pro Electric Scooter: $550 (Reg. $714)

There’s plenty of ongoing post-holiday price cuts across several e-bike and e-scooter brands right now, which you can browse in full in our Memorial Day EV hub here.

ECOVACS Goat A2500 RTK robot lawn mower

ECOVACS’ new Goat A2500 RTK robot mower returns for the second time to $1,500 low

Amazon is offering a second chance at the lowest price on the new ECOVACS Goat A2500 RTK Robot Lawn Mower for $1,499.99 shipped, as well as discounts on two of its counterparts. This new and advanced autonomous lawn care solution has been going for $2,000 at full price since hitting the market a few months ago, with three discounts having taken things down to $1,700 and $1,800, and one previous drop to this same low back at the top of the month. You’re getting a second chance here today at a 25% markdown that cuts $500 off the tag for the lowest price we have tracked.

One of ECOVACS’ new robot mowers, the Goat A2500 sits as the middle-ground choice with a 32V motor and dual-blade discs that cover mowing duties across 4,305 square feet of land in an hour, working at 2.3 feet per second. The 5Ah battery allows enough juice to tackle up to 5,382 square feet on a single charge, with it automatically returning to its station upon low levels and only taking 45 minutes before it’s ready to go once again.

What’s really great here is the trading of any need for perimeter wires to operate via RTK navigation, which works along with the 3D-ToF LiDAR tech and AIVI 3D AI camera to not only stay the course, but also avoid 200+ common garden obstacles – all with an IPX6 waterproof construction for when it gets caught by sudden weather changes. There’s also an array of remote smart controls through its app, which allows you to adjust performance settings, as well as edit the 3D maps that it uses to complete its duties.

ECOVACS’ other Goat robot mower deals:

lectric xp lite 2.0 e-bike

Lectric’s 49-pound XP Lite 2.0 folding e-bikes with 80-mile range get $404 in free gear starting from $999

While Memorial Day may be over, the savings we’re seeing from Lectric are continuing for an unknown amount of time, with up to $742 in free gear accompanying e-bike purchases – and don’t forget the ongoing preorder bundle deals for the brand’s new XP4 and XP4 750 e-bikes that start from $999. One of the notable increases in savings during this sale is on the Lectric XP Lite 2.0 Long-Range e-bikes for $999 shipped and come with $404 in free gear, as well as the XP Lite 2.0 JW Long-Range model that sits a little higher at $1,099 shipped, coming with the same bundle. These packages would normally run you $1,403 and $1,503 at full price, which is beating out most of the bundle sizes we’ve seen since this same package was offered at the beginning of January. The extra add-ons include a rear cargo rack, fenders, a suspension seat post, an accordion-style folding bike lock, two adjustable rear-view mirrors, and an Elite headlight upgrade.

Coming in as the lightest e-bikes under Lectric’s flag, the XP Lite 2.0 e-bikes weigh in at just 49 pounds, making them more manageable up and down stairs or when putting them in your car for longer-distance transport – plus, the foldable design also contributes to saving space when you’re not riding. The 672Wh battery in each delivers up to 80 miles of travel on a single charge when its five PAS levels are being used, while the 300W rear hub motor (819Wh peak) reaches up to 20 MPH speeds.

As is the case with Lectric’s lineup, you’re getting dependable features that you’d expect to raise the price more, like the hydraulic mineral oil brakes, 20×2.5-inch slick tires with 3mm Hippo Skin liner and pre-slimed tubes for anti-puncture resistance, BMX-style folding handlebars, and a full color LCD screen with a USB-A port to juice up devices as you ride, perfect for those using their phones for GPS.

And for just $100 more you can upgrade to the JW Black variant, which has been given a Gates Carbon Drive belt system for a quieter, smoother, and oil-free riding experience, with it also promising a longer-lasting lifespan over chain-drive models. You can also save a bit more going with the shorter 45-mile range standard models that start from $799 shipped, though there are no bundle packages with free gear on these.

Be sure to check out the full lineup of Lectric’s ongoing Memorial Day Sale here while the massive savings last, with even more ongoing sales past the holiday collected in our Memorial Day EV hub, with many slated to end over the next few days, while others are continuing into June.

EcoFlow DELTA 2 smart extra battery

Add 1,024Wh to your DELTA 2 LiFePO4 power station capacity with this expansion battery at $429 low

Coming at us through its official Amazon storefront, EcoFlow is undercutting its ongoing Memorial Day Sale pricing (ending May 28) on the DELTA 2 Smart Extra Battery for $428.99 shipped. This add-on unit normally fetches $799 at full price directly from the brand, but has been starting from $599 in 2025 at Amazon. Discounts have mostly kept costs above $449, though we did see two previous dips to this low. It’s beating out EcoFlow’s direct sale pricing by $30, giving you $170 in savings off its going Amazon rate ($370 off its MSRP) at the lowest price we have tracked.

This add-on battery from EcoFlow is the perfect addition for folks with an existing DELTA 2 power station who want to get far more backup power support for traveling and at-home needs. The battery sports a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can be added to your existing station, giving you 2,048Wh with one or bumping things as high as 3,072Wh when adding two to your setup. Right alongside the station, this battery comes rated for 3,000+ life cycles, giving you over eight years of use if you were planning to discharge and recharge it every single day.

If you were considering starting your backup setup, you can check out EcoFlow’s ongoing Memorial Day deals running through May 28 – which include extra savings (code EF25MEM) that drops the power station and extra battery bundle to $997 from $1,798 – which beats Amazon by $2.

Best Spring EV deals!

Best new Green Deals landing this week

The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

MINI x Deus Ex Machina Skeg electric concept lightens the mood

MINI x Deus Ex Machina Skeg electric concept lightens the mood

MINI JCW x Deus Ex Machina: Two worlds. Two cars. Singular enthusiasm.

MINI has partnered with lifestyle brand, Deus Ex Machina, to develop this. It’s called the Skeg, and it’s a high-performance, racing-inspired electric concept car that’s sure to lighten the mood – by shedding fully 15% of its mass in the quest for speed.

One of a pair of exclusive, one-off concepts based on MINI’s John Cooper Works cars. The Deus Ex Machina Skeg celebrates MINI’s storied racing history with what the company calls, “a clean, minimal, and quiet rebellion,” that draws on materials, technologies, and philosophies from the world of surfing.

The electric MINI JCW Skeg is stripped to its essentials, with much of the steel and aluminum bits replaced with lightweight fiberglass to maximize acceleration while driving the minimalist aesthetic home. The end result weighs 15% less than the standard car – but makes the same stout 190 kW (258 hp) as the production car.

Surf’s up

The interior is stripped back to the barest essentials, reflecting BMW’s vision of a surf culture that prioritizes function over form. MINI claims the end result resembles a mobile surf shop, with fiberglass trays for wetsuits, specially shaped bins, neoprene seats, and other touches that “bring the surf culture into the interior.”

For their part, the BMW and MINI styling team seems pretty proud of its minimalistic electric endeavor. “In this extraordinary collaboration … every single detail has been crafted with artisanal precision and expertise,” says Holger Hampf, Head of MINI Design. “This has resulted in unique characters that are clearly perceived as belonging together through their distinctive design language and use of graphics.”

The concept retains the production version’s 54.2 kWh li-ion battery pack, up to 250 of WLTP range with the production aero kit, sprints from 0-100 km (62 mph) in just 5.9 seconds. With 15% less mass, though, that should jump to more than 255 miles, with 0-60 times dropping below 5.5 seconds.

I dig it – but I’d skip the surf bits and just appreciate the raw composite, minimalist interior look for what it is. Take a look at the image gallery, below, then let us know what you think of MINI’s Skeg concept in the comments.

Volvo Penta teams up with e-power to equip Boels with next-gen Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Volvo Penta teams up with e-power to equip Boels with next-gen Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Volvo battery

Veteran marine and industrial power solutions company Volvo Penta has joined forces with energy solutions provider e-power to build battery energy storage systems (BESS). Volvo Penta’s battery systems for energy storage will power BESS units built by e-power that can be catered to a range of applications, most notably construction rental clients like Boels Rentals in Europe.

Volvo Penta is a provider of sustainable power solutions that currently serves land and sea applications under the Volvo Group umbrella. As more and more of the world goes all-electric, the global manufacturer has also adapted, sharing cultural values with Volvo Group to engineer new and innovative sustainable power solutions.

Nearly 100 years later, Volvo Penta remains an industry leader in marine propulsion systems and industrial engines. As more and more of the world goes all-electric, the Swedish manufacturer has also adapted, sharing cultural values with Volvo Group to engineer new and innovative sustainable power solutions.

For example, all Volvo Penta diesel engines now run on hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO), reducing well-to-wheel emissions by up to 90% across the marine and industrial power industries. On the zero-emissions side, Volvo Penta has expressed its dedication to fossil-free power solutions, including battery electric components to serve heavy-duty applications such as terminal tractors, forklifts, drill rigs, and feed mixers, to name a few.

To leverage its battery electric value chain, Volvo Penta has also ventured into battery systems for energy storage (or BESS subsystems). These energy-dense, purpose-built BESS subsystems can provide portable, sustainable energy for all-electric charging and reduce grid dependency.

Volvo Penta to deploy battery systems for energy storage

Volvo Penta recently announced a strategic partnership with e-power, a Belgian power solutions provider. Together, Volvo Penta and e-power will develop a scalable Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for Boels Rental.

The collaboration continues a long-standing partnership between all three companies. Boels – one of the largest construction rental companies is a long-time customer of e-power generators that utilize Volvo Penta engines. As the company shifts toward electrification and sustainability, it will again turn to those companies to deliver reliable performance.

Volvo Penta’s BESS subsystem comprises battery packs, a Battery Management System (BMS), DC/DC converters, and thermal management, combining to offer a compact, high-density, and transport-friendly solution optimized for rental operations. The company shared that this BESS design is integration-ready, enabling other OEMs like e-power to adapt and scale systems to customer-specific needs. Per e-power business support director, Jens Fets:

We’ve built our reputation on reliability and efficient power systems. Working again with Volvo Penta, this time on battery energy storage, allows us to meet the growing demand for energy in a silent, low-emissions, compact and mobile design—especially in rental applications.

The deployment of these new battery energy storage systems will help Boels cater to its customers’ growing demand for clean, silent, and mobile energy solutions in construction and other industrial applications. 

Aside from being more quickly adaptable to customer needs, Volvo Penta says its BESS architecture marks an overall shift in rental power systems. This is welcome news for all who support a cleaner, more sustainable future across all industries.

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC EV exterior leaks ahead of schedule

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC EV exterior leaks ahead of schedule

Mercedes-GLC-EV-face
The 2026 GLC EV will showcase a new face; via Mercedes-Benz.

That didn’t take long! Just a few hours after Mercedes revealed the screen-heavy interior of its upcoming 2026 GLC EV, photos of the new crossover’s exterior – and that controversial grille! – leaked on Instagram and Reddit. We’ve got them here.

Two days ahead of the GLC EV’s officially schedule global debut, images that reportedly show the new 2026 Mercedes undisguised have leaked on Instagram and Reddit. They show the blocky new light-up grille on the nose of a very smooth, jellybean-like crossover shape that, despite Mercedes’ insistence that it’s moving away from the EQ series’ design language, looks an awful lot like an EQ Mercedes.

Check out the leaked images from kindleauto’s Instagram account, below, and see if you agree with that assessment.

If you need to see more before you feel comfortable commenting on the new SUV’s looks, there’s a few more angles over on the r/mercedes_benz subreddit.

As with everything else on the internet, take those unofficial images with a grain of salt and maybe wait until the GLC EV’s official reveal in a few days’ time before casting your final vote on the new look – but there’s very little reason to believe the new Mercedes will look terribly different from what you see here.

Will the new grille and tech-forward interior with its massive, 39″ screen and MB.OS software be enough to turn the tide for Mercedes-Benz, enabling it to finally gain some traction in the electric crossover market? That remains to be seen, but the recently updated Tesla Model Y and crisply-styled new BMW iX3 with its 500 miles of range will make it an uphill battle, for sure.

We got a sneak peek at the new GLC back in July, when Mercedes-Benz Group CEO, Ola Källenius said that, “We’re not just introducing a new model – we’re electrifying our top seller.” Back then, we learned that the new GLC EV would have a wheelbase 3.1″ longer than the current ICE-powered model, as well as more head- and leg-room for its occupants and an extra 4.5 cubic feet (for 61.4 total) of cargo space.

Källenius also promised an innovative new 800V electric architecture and the latest battery tech, which will enable the electric GLC to add around 260 km (~160 miles) of WLTP range in just ten minutes thanks to more than 300 kW of charging capability.
