Navee’s Independence Day Sale returns the new ST3 Pro electric scooter with Apple Find My to a $760 low

Navee has launched its Independence Day Sale running through July 7, with up to 30% off six e-scooter models, including a returning low on the new flagship ST3 Pro Electric Scooter for $759.99 shipped, after using the on-page promo code FREEDOM20 at checkout. Normally priced at $950 these days since falling from its original $1,299 MSRP after launching in March, we’ve only seen the price come down to $899 before last month gave us the first drop to the $760 low. That low price is coming back around today, saving you $190 off the tag and beating out its Amazon pricing by $140. Head below for more on this e-scooter and the others seeing discounts.

The new Navee flagship ST3 Pro electric scooter cruises into view with a 600W motor (1,350 peak) and a 12.75Ah battery that provides up to 46.6 miles of travel on a full charge, while also maxing out at 25 MPH speeds. On top of this, the motor peaks to climb inclines up to 28% steep, which beats out many competitors. You’re ride will be especially smooth thanks to the new automotive-grade damping arm suspension system that is made up of four polymer arms – plus, there’s even Apple Find My inclusion for extra peace of mind.

Those aren’t the only features I could go on about for the ST3 Pro electric scooter, as there’s also a triple-braking system of hydraulic disc brakes, a drum brake, and an eABS brake that delivers regenerative braking functionality to extend travels by recycling energy as you slow or stop. You’ll also be getting self-healing tires to prevent the ride from prematurely ending, a traction control system for increased stability, an auto-on headlight, as well as a brake lighting taillight, integrated turn signals, the usual folding frame, and a 3.6-inch LED display. What’s more, there is ambient lighting under its footboard that have 15 different mode options, and even remote smart controls through its companion app, including manual and automatic locking of its systems, and more.

Bluetti AC180 portable power station

Bluetti’s AC180 solar generator bundle with a 350W panel powers summer adventures for a $902 low

Bluetti’s Father’s Day Sale is continuing through the rest of the weekend with up to 55% discounts and extra savings. Alongside the new low price we spotted among the larger appliance/home backup offers, there’s quite a few solid options for smaller setups that cover road trips and outdoor adventures, like Bluetti’s AC180 Solar Generator Bundle with a 350W panel for $901.55 shipped, after using the sitewide code AFF5OFF at checkout for an additional 5% off. This package would normally fetch $1,499 at full price, which we’ve been seeing come down to $949 regularly during sales, only beaten out by this all-time low price that first appeared during the brand’s Earth Day sale in April. You’re looking at a second chance for the best price we have tracked, which saves you $597 off the going rate and beats its Amazon pricing by $47. Head below for more on this unit and the other deals we’ve rounded up for you.

The Bluetti AC180 power station is one of the brand’s most popular options to keep devices and appliances running during camping trips, road trips, and even during emergencies. It comes with a 1,152Wh LiFePO4 battery that dishes out a steady stream of power at up to 1,800W normally, while surging up to 2,700W when connected to hungrier appliances. It boasts 11 output port options, which includes a 15W wireless charging pad alongside four ACs, four USB-As, one USB-C, and one DC.

Plugging it into a wall outlet can get the battery back to 80% in 45 minutes, or by connecting up to its max 500W solar input, you can recharge in 2.8 to 3.3 hours via the sun, with there also being the options for car port or generator power. The brand rates it for 3,500+ life cycles, so you could charge and discharge it every day for over nine and a half years, or recharge it every few months and keep it stored away for emergency usage for even longer.

***Note: The extra savings have not been added into the prices below, so be sure to use the code AFF5OFF at checkout to score an additional 5% savings and the best deals possible.

Tenways CGO600 Pro e-bike

Tenways’ 4th of July Sale takes $600 off e-bike bundles + additional $200 when buying two – all starting from $1,499

Tenways has launched its 4th of July Sale that is taking up to $600 off its e-bikes and offering $200 in additional savings when purchasing two models together. Among the offers this time around, we spotted the price coming lower than we’ve seen since March on the CGO600 Pro e-bikes for $1,499 shipped with $118 in free gear for both the chain-drive and belt-drive variants. Both models normally go for $1,899 at full price, which we’ve seen brought down as low as $1,299 for the chain-drive model and $1,399 for the belt-drive. Since March, they’ve been keeping above $1,599, but this sale is cutting $400 off the tags ($518 in total savings), landing them back at the second and third-lowest pricing we have tracked.

Perfect for urban commuters who enjoy active cycling, the Tenways CGO600 Pro e-bikes weigh just 37 pounds making them easy to manage up and down stairs, stoops, and the like. There’s no throttle for pure electric riding, with them instead providing four PAS levels supported by a torque sensor. The 350W rear hub motor pairs with a 360Wh battery to help you reach top speeds of 20 MPH for up to 53 miles on a single charge.

The main choice here is between the Gates carbon belt drive for quieter performance or its newer 8-speed variant with a Shimano derailleur and newer C9 350W motor that offers more flexible riding. Aside from that, you’ll also be getting puncture-proof tires that combat nails and other debris in the streets, Tektro dual-piston hydraulic brakes for stopping power, as well as LED lighting, internally routed cables, and an OLED screen for all your setting adjustments.

Tenways’ other 4th of July e-bike deals:

  • AGO X Step-Over Mid-Drive All-Terrain e-bike: $1,899 (Reg. $2,499)
    • 20 MPH for up to 62 miles
    • Shimano 10-speed drivetrain
    • comes with $307 in free gear
  • AGO T Step-Thru Premium e-bike: $2,399 (Reg. $2,699)
    • 20 MPH for up to 62 miles
    • Enviolo stepless shifting hub
    • comes with $178 in free gear + free front carrier ($50 value)
Greenworks 82V 18-inch cordless commercial chainsaw

Greenworks’ 82V 18-inch commercial cordless chainsaw with 4.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries hits new $400 low

Amazon is offering a solid bundle opportunity on its Greenworks 82V 18-inch Commercial-Grade Cordless Chainsaw that comes with 4.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger at $399.98 shipped. Normally, you’d have to shell out $600 buying these models separately in their standard packages, which we’ve seen brought down as low as $516 before today. Not only is this a new all-time low price we’re tracking, saving you $200 off their usual rates, but the bundle is also coming in at the same price as the standard one-battery package, meaning you’re getting the $200 2.5Ah battery for free.

Part of Greenworks’ commercial series of tools for professional landscaping and groundskeeping, this 82V 18-inch chainsaw can make up to 210 cuts on a single charge of the 4.0Ah battery, which can be extended thanks to the additional battery in the bundle. The 2.7kW brushless direct-drive motor brings the equivalent of a 55cc gas motor to the equation, able to reach up to 13,000 RPM max speeds. There’s an automatic oiler to keep things lubricated and running smoothly, as well as a flip-up gauge for it that lets you see how much oil is in the tank, a mechanical chain brake, and more.

Worx 12A Trivac blower/mulcher/vacuum

Blow, collect, or mulch yard debris with Worx’s 12A corded Trivac at $69

Amazon is offering the Worx WG509 12A Trivac 3-in-1 Electric Corded Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum for $69 shipped. This legacy tool would normally run you $100 at full price, which we’ve mostly seen keeping above $79 throughout 2025. Today’s deal is bringing the costs down lower thanks to the $31 markdown we’re getting here, dropping things down among some of its lowest prices – just $9 above the all-time low that we haven’t seen reappear for quite some time.

When doing any outdoor work – especially in the heat of summer – it’s always best to go by the phrase “working smarter, not harder” and this 3-in-1 Worx Trivac definitely exudes that credo with its blowing, collecting, and/or mulching functionality. When put into its standard blower settings, it can produce up to 210 MPH airflow, while the included bag allows for the collection of debris at a flip of a switch. There’s also the two-stage metal impeller/shredder blades for any mulching needs, which the brand claims to “take 18 bags worth of leaves and chops it down into one.” It comes lightweight at just 10 pounds so anyone of any size can use it, with an angled collection nozzle to help reach under patio furniture and other low-lying areas.

If you’re only looking for a reliable means to mulch the leaves around your yard at much faster rates, Worx’s 13A Electric Leaf Mulcher makes a great companion for the job at $139.99 shipped, down from $190. By attaching a regular bag underneath the device, you can mulch leaves at a speed of 53 gallons per minute for easy collection, with the brand promising to condense “11 bags down into 1.”

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.

Toyota announces another new EV, but this one will be unique

Toyota-new-EV-first

The world’s largest automaker, Toyota, just announced plans for another new electric vehicle. This one isn’t just another EV. It marks a new milestone for Toyota as it expands its lineup.

Toyota will build a new EV in Europe, its first

Toyota announced plans to build the new EV at its plant in the Czech Republic on Wednesday. It will be the first electric vehicle produced at one of Toyota’s European plants, marking the start of a new era.

To accommodate the new model, Toyota is investing about €680 million ($800 million) to expand the facility from 152,000 to 173,000 square meters. The upgrades will include a new paint and welding shop, in addition to a dedicated battery assembly facility.

The Czech government is providing up to €64 million ($75 million) in funding for a new dedicated EV battery assembly plant.

Lukáš Vlček, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, said the initiative is “the result of a series of negotiations in both Europe and Japan” and will play a key role in the country’s transition to clean mobility.

Toyota currently builds the Aygo X and Yaris Hybrid at its Czech plant with an annual production capacity of around 220,000 vehicles.

Adding the new EV to the mix could boost output at the facility, Toyota said, which will lead to more jobs and a stronger supply chain.

Although Toyota is keeping most details secret for now, a Nikkei report claimed in July that, not one, but several EVs will be built at the facility.

Toyota’s Czech plant will become a “mega hub” for new EVs, starting with crossovers and SUVs. This year, Toyota is launching the updated bZ4X, Ch-R+, and Urban Cruiser.

In 2026, three more will follow. And that doesn’t include the three new Lexus EV models set to launch by the end of next year.

Although Toyota was the second best-selling brand in Europe in the first half of the year, behind Volkswagen, Chinese EV makers like BYD are starting to gain ground with lower-cost models.

By building electric vehicles, batteries, and other components locally, Toyota aims to stay competitive in Europe. Production at Toyota’s Czech plant is expected to start as early as 2028.

US residential solar prices stay low, tax credit cuts and tariffs loom

US residential solar prices stay low, tax credit cuts and tariffs loom

residential solar

The US residential solar market hit a bumpy patch in the first half of 2025, according to the newly released 21st EnergySage Intel: Solar & Storage Marketplace Report. The semiannual report digs into millions of data points from EnergySage.com, where homeowners shop for solar panels, inverters, and batteries. This edition also includes EnergySage’s annual Electrification Contractor Survey, fielded between January and March 2025.

After a strong 2024 that drove solar and storage prices to all-time lows, the first half of 2025 shows a mix of momentum and uncertainty. Homeowners are still eager to go solar, but shifting federal policies, tariffs, and tightening trade restrictions are creating headwinds for contractors and installers. The industry continues to expand, but this transition year may change how projects are financed, supplied, and built.

Solar prices stay low, battery costs rose modestly. Solar prices stayed at their record-low median of $2.48 per watt in the first half of 2025, unchanged from H2 2024. Installers absorbed financing pressures rather than raising prices before policy changes kicked in. Meanwhile, battery storage saw a 4% price increase as new tariffs on Chinese battery components took hold, the first bump after two years of declines.

Emily Walker, EnergySage’s director of insights, explained: “Although we expect changes to federal tariffs and trade policies to affect prices in the second half of 2025, the snapshot from the first half of the year shows us that, with the right public policy, solar is accessible to many homeowners now – and will continue to be in the future.”

Financing shifts as third-party ownership gains ground. Loan rates climbed to a median of 7.5% in the first half of 2025. About 38% of contractors reported lower demand for loans, while nearly all (94%) said cash buyers held steady or increased. Because Trump’s big bill (OBBBA) protects tax credits for third-party ownership (TPO) systems longer than for purchased ones, TPO is expected to gain major ground in 2026.

Walker added, “Even as higher interest rates have made traditional loan financing less attractive, we’re seeing that demand for solar hasn’t gone away; it’s simply shifting. We expect attractive new financing models to emerge next year, which will keep residential solar adoption moving forward.”

Contractors are worried about challenges. An overwhelming 92% of contractors said losing the federal solar tax credit would hurt their business, and 70% expect negative impacts due to new equipment tariffs. Over a third already reported reduced profitability from higher interest rates. On top of that, 84% cited rising labor costs, and 79% said their business depends heavily on solar-related revenue. Many are now rethinking how to adapt for the post-tax credit era.

“Solar contractors across the country have voiced deep concern about what lies ahead for the industry,” Walker said. “With key incentives set to change, many are already rethinking their business models to adapt and remain competitive. The companies that find new ways to reach homeowners and offer value will be best positioned to weather this transition.”

The 30% federal solar tax credit is ending this year. If you’ve ever considered going solar, now’s the time to act. To make sure you find a trusted, reliable solar installer near you that offers competitive pricing, check out EnergySage, a free service that makes it easy for you to go solar. It has hundreds of pre-vetted solar installers competing for your business, ensuring you get high-quality solutions and save 20-30% compared to going it alone. Plus, it’s free to use, and you won’t get sales calls until you select an installer and share your phone number with them. 

Your personalized solar quotes are easy to compare online and you’ll get access to unbiased Energy Advisors to help you every step of the way. Get started here.
