Hyundai IONIQ 6 N

Hyundai Motor has released its first teaser images of its high-performance version of the IONIQ 6, promising it will “redefine the N driving experience once more.”

It’s been nearly four years since Hyundai announced a new “N” performance line of EVs, beginning with the IONIQ 5.

Hyundai Motor Group’s N and N Line performance sub-brands were just seven years old when the Korean automaker publicly announced it was reimagining the performance arms for an all-electric future. Despite being relatively new to the performance motorsport scene, the Hyundai N team has made quite an impression.

Hyundai confirmed the IONIQ 5 would be its first all-electric model to wear the “N” badge during the global premiere of the IONIQ 6. Since then, the passenger version of 6 has hit the market and has already seen a striking refresh, while the IONIQ 5 N has received several accolades and has become the fastest Hyundai model (gas or electric) to date.

I drove the BEV around Laguna Seca, and it remains one of my favorite models currently available, unlike anything I’ve ever driven. It helped me see the light with the (simulated) noise and rumble combustion go gaga for.

As anticipated for quite some time now, the Hyundai team has followed up with an N version of the IONIQ 6, and we have our first official images below. Could this high-performance sedan steal the speed crown from its IONQ 5 sibling?

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N looks like another winner

Hyundai shared the four images seen above in a brief press release this morning, sharing that the incoming N sedan was developed for “high-speed stability.” Similar to the exterior of the standard IONIQ 6, the images showcase several smooth but semi-exotic exterior features like flared fenders and a larger wing spoiler.

Hyundai shared that customers can also expect to see a wider stance and lightweight wheels while sticking to the team’s three core performance pillars: “corner rascal,” “racetrack capability,” and “everyday sports car.” Joon Park, Vice President and Head of N Management Group said the high performance sedan will once again “disrupt the high-performance EV segment.”

Can’t wait.

Per Park, Hyundai intends to officially debut the IONIQ 6 N at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, scheduled for July 10-13, 2025. More to come!

Headlining our end-of-the-week edition is Jackery’s new HomePower 3600 Plus Portable Power Station, which is getting up to $2,300 in early-bird member-only discounts, starting from $1699. We also spotted EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro Ultra with an expansion battery (12.2kWh) hitting a new $5,604 low, as well as Anker’s SOLIX Fan Fest four-unit weekend flash sale, which has returned the F3000 Portable Power Station to its $1,599 Prime Day low, among others.

Get up to $2,300 in early-bird savings on Jackery’s new HomePower 3600 Plus LiFePO4 power station starting from $1,699

Jackery has just launched its early-bird member-only discounts (free to sign up) on its new HomePower 3600 Plus Portable Power Station starting from $1,699 shipped that will run through September 21, along with some bundle options, as well (more on those below). This new unit follows right behind the recent launch of the HomePower 3000 station, carrying a slightly higher full price of $2,799, and also coming in $100 higher at Amazon. This is the first chance at savings ahead of the new backup solution officially releasing, with it getting $1,100 here that sets the bar for future discounts down the road.

It’s quite a surprise to see Jackery releasing this new HomePower 3600 Plus unit not long after its HomePower 3000 model’s release, though it makes sense as this new descendant fills the gap between the 3000 and the brand’s Explorer 5000 Plus home backup unit. It starts with a 3,584Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that can expand as high as 21kWh with additional equipment. It provides up to 3,600W of steady output and surges up to 7,200W for hungrier devices/appliances, complete with 10 port options that include five AC outlets, two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and a car port.

As the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus is a bolstered descendant to the HomePower 3000, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that it brings much of the same charging capabilities to the table, with plugging into a standard outlet having it back to a full battery in 2.5 hours, while also offering options for dual AC and DC charging, gas generator bypass charging, a maximum 1,000W solar input, and a car port to charge as you drive.

You can now save $3,195 on EcoFlow’s expanded DELTA Pro Ultra 12.2kWh bundle at a new $5,604 low

Over at Wellbots, we just spotted an amazing opportunity for anyone wanting to go big with their home backup support, with EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro Ultra Power Station bundled with one expansion battery at $5,604.05 shipped, which appears after an automatic 5% discount is applied in your cart, and currently beats Amazon’s pricing by $894. While it carries a $9,397 MSRP directly from the brand (currently $6798), at Wellbots, however, it starts off at a lower $8,799 full price. The discounts we’ve seen up until today have only ever dropped costs on this package as low as $6,299, which we last saw during July’s Prime Day event. The deal here gives you more savings than ever as $3,195 is cut from the tag (not to mention it’s $3,793 off its MSRP), landing it at a new all-time low price.

As part of its ongoing SOLIX Fan Fest Sale running through September 21, Anker has launched a weekend flash sale that is bringing the costs down on four different units. Among them, we spotted Anker’s new SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station with a FREE 120V generator input adapter dropping down to $1,599 shipped, which beats out Amazon’s pricing by $51, and sadly, the extra 5% savings code isn’t valid for these deals. It was already brought down from its $2,599 full price to $1,649 in the sale, with the flash savings here returning it to this rate for the first time since it appeared during July’s Prime Day event. You’re looking at the second-ever chance to pick it up at the best price we have tracked – plus, you’re getting the free adapter cable that is valued at $99 normally, which only sweetens the pot.

Toyota is recalling over 590,000 vehicles and halting EV sales

Toyota is recalling over 590,000 vehicles and halting EV sales

Toyota-recalling-vehicles

Toyota was hit with a major recall on Friday, impacting around 591,000 vehicles in the US. The company is recalling certain RAV4, Camry, Corolla, Grand Highlander, and several Lexus models. The situation gets worse with another recall leading to a stop-sale of Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru electric vehicles.

Toyota recalls 591,000 vehicles, halts EV sales in the US

On Friday, Toyota issued a voluntary recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) involving roughly 591,000 cars in the US.

The recall affects select Toyota Venza, Crown, Crown Signia, RAV4, GR Corolla, 4Runner, Camry, Grand Highlander, Tacoma, and Highlander models, as well as specific Lexus LS, RX, and TX vehicles.

Toyota said the recall is due to a glitch with the infotainment system. The 12.3″ display screen could fail to turn on after starting the vehicle, or even worse, go blank while driving. Toyota will begin notifying those with impacted vehicles by mid-November 2025.

In a separate notice last week, Toyota issued another major recall, impacting nearly 95,000 electric vehicles. The recall involved certain 2023 to 2025 Toyota bZ4X, Lexus RZ, and Subaru Solterras.

The bZ4X accounts for the majority of those being recalled, with nearly 41,500, followed by the Solterra at 32,320 and the Lexus RZ with 20,501.

Toyota instructed dealers to halt sales of bZ4X, Lexus RZ, and Subaru Solterra models produced up to mid-June. All of which are based on the same platform. According to the memo, the recall is due to a faulty defroster, which is pretty self-explanatory as to why it poses a safety risk.

If your vehicle is included in the recall, you can take it to a dealer, where they will update the HVAC control ECU software, free of charge.

Toyota plans to mail notification letters to owners on October 20, 2025. You can contact Toyota’s customer service hotline at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota’s recall numbers are 25TB07 and 25TA07. Lexus’ numbers for this recall are 25LB04 and 25LA04. Subaru’s recall number is WRD-25.

You can also contact the NHTSA hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit the website NHTSA.gov for more information.

VW on Tesla Supercharger access: be patient, it should be coming this year

VW on Tesla Supercharger access: be patient, it should be coming this year

public EV charging ports

VW is advising customers to be a little more patient with Tesla Supercharger access, as it claims to be experiencing technical issues.

The German brand is the last one to give Supercharger access to its North American EV owners.

Tesla first announced the opening of its Supercharger network to other electric vehicles in 2021, but the rollout has been slow.

The automaker successfully persuaded the rest of the North American auto industry to adopt its connector as the new standard. It struck deals with them to gain access to its Supercharger network, which is by far the best and most reliable fast-charging EV network in North America, thereby sweetening the deal.

However, the transition wasn’t exactly smooth.

Last year, Elon Musk fired Tesla’s entire charging team, which had built the world’s best charging network, over a dispute with the team’s head. Tesla ended up having to rehire some of the staff, and other automakers admitted that this slowed down the Supercharger integration process.

Nonetheless, the integration started to be finalized this year, with electric vehicles from virtually all other automakers now having access to most Tesla Superchargers in North America.

However, there’s one big exception: VW electric vehicles, specifically the ID.4 and ID Buzz.

Last week, Porsche and Audi, which are both part of the Volkswagen Group, announced that their North American EV owners have now access to the Supercharger network.

This led people to believe that VW shouldn’t be too far behind.

VW has now commented on encountering “technical challenges” and has asked owners for their patience. The German automaker still believes that access should come by the end of the year (via PC Mag):

“Volkswagen looks forward to making it possible for ID. Buzz and ID.4 vehicle owners to gain access to the Tesla NACS Partner Superchargers. The timeline has been delayed by technical challenges, and we ask for customers’ patience. We still expect to deliver access this year.”

It’s unclear what those technical challenges are, but VW has been experiencing notorious software issues for years now.

More recently, the company decided to partner with Rivian for assistance with the software side.
