The Chevy Equinox EV, or America’s most affordable EV with over 315 miles of range, is now even cheaper this month. Chevy is offering more chances to save this month on the electric Equinox, Blazer, and Silverado with new EV deals rolling out.

Chevy launches new EV deals with the tax credit expiring

After back-to-back record sales months in July and August, GM remained the number two seller of EVs in the US, behind Tesla.

The Chevy Equinox EV, or as GM calls it, “America’s most affordable 315+ mile range EV,” has been a smash hit. GM now expects it to be the third top-selling EV in the US this year, behind the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.

After launching the lower-priced LT trim late last year, starting at just $34,995, the Equinox drove Chevy to become the fastest-growing domestic EV brand in the US.

As one of the few electric vehicles with a starting price under $35,000, it’s no wonder the Equinox EV is flying off the lot.

With new deals this month ahead of the $7,500 deferal EV tax credit deadline, the Chevy Equinox EV is even more affordable. In fact, all of Chevy’s electric vehicles are currently heavily discounted.

Chevy is offering up to $3,000 customer cash bonus on select 2025 Equinox EV models with leases starting at just $249 per month. The deal is for a 24-month lease with $3,049 due at signing and includes the loyalty or conquest bonus.

Alternatively, Chevy is offering the $7,500 federal EV tax credit plus 0% APR financing for 60 months when financing any 2025 electric vehicle, including the Equinox, Blazer, and Silverado. If you’re a Costco member, you can save an extra $1,250.

If you’re looking for something a little bigger and more powerful, the 2025 Chevy Blazer EV is available with up to $3,500 in bonus cash with leases starting as low as $369 per month. That offer is also a 24-month lease, but with $3,149 due at signing.

For pickup fans, the Chevy Silverado EV is even more impressive than it looks, with up to 493 miles of range, a towing capacity of up to 12,500 lbs, and the ability to hit 0 to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds.

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado is available with up to $4,000 in bonus cash right now. Chevy is listing the 2025 Silverado EV Crew Cab 4WD LT trim for leases as low as $749 for 24 months with $5,209 due at signing.

Chevy’s electric vehicles are not only some of the most affordable to lease, but they are also the cheapest to insure. According to a recent study from Insurify, the Chevy Blazer and Equinox are the most affordable EVs to insure.

Chevy’s deals are set to end on September 30, when the federal EV tax credit is also set to expire. Despite record sales, GM said it expects a slowdown later this year as the “irrational discounts” come to an end.

HEINEKEN is brewing beer with a massive 100 MWh heat battery

Rondo Energy and energy producer EDP are installing a massive 100 MWh renewable-powered heat battery at HEINEKEN’s brewery in Lisbon, Portugal. The project will deliver round-the-clock renewable steam and reduce emissions without altering the facility’s beer brewing process.

Brewing HEINEKEN with zero-carbon steam

The Rondo Heat Battery (RHB) will be the biggest deployed in the beverage industry worldwide. It can store electricity as high-temperature heat using refractory bricks, then convert that heat into 24/7 steam, all without burning fossil fuels.

At HEINEKEN’s Central de Cervejas e Bebidas Brewery and Malting Plant, the heat battery system will supply 7 MW of steam, powered by renewable electricity from onsite solar and the grid. That steam is identical to steam created by gas-fired boilers, but without the carbon pollution.

EDP is providing the renewable electricity and will deliver the steam directly to HEINEKEN via a Heat-as-a-Service model. Rondo is supplying the battery, and HEINEKEN gets to ditch fossil fuels without retooling its brewing process.

Why this matters

This project is a big win for industrial decarbonization. High-temperature steam is one of the most complex parts of manufacturing to electrify, and the beer industry runs on it. HEINEKEN’s Lisbon site already uses solar panels for electricity and electric heat pumps for hot water, and this move helps it go even further.

It’s part of HEINEKEN’s “Brew a Better World” plan to hit net zero emissions by 2040 and decarbonize all of its global production sites by 2030.

Additionally, the deployment aligns with Portugal’s national target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030.

The bigger picture

With the European Investment Bank and Breakthrough Energy Catalyst backing this and other Rondo projects with €75 million in funding, this Lisbon installation is just the beginning. Rondo’s technology enables energy-hungry industries to switch from fossil fuels to renewable electricity without compromising 24/7 operations.

Rondo CEO Eric Trusiewicz sums it up: “We are thrilled to be installing our first Rondo Heat Battery in Iberia, and to support HEINEKEN to reach its goals. We look forward to helping industries across Iberia cut costs and carbon, and help Iberia capitalize on the opportunity.”

Lucid (LCID) misses Q3 earnings estimates, but there’s some good news

Lucid (LCID) misses Q3 earnings estimates, but there's some good news

Lucid Group (LCID) reported third-quarter earnings after the market closed on Wednesday, missing top and bottom-line estimates.

With 4,078 vehicles delivered in Q3, Lucid marked its seventh straight quarter with higher deliveries. Through the first nine months of 2025, Lucid delivered nearly 10,500 vehicles, more than the roughly 10,200 it handed over in 2024.

Although supply chain issues hampered production in the first half of the year, Lucid’s CEO Marc Winterhoff said the company made “significant progress ramping production of the Lucid Gravity through Q3,” including adding a second manufacturing shift at its Casa Grande, Arizona, plant.

Lucid produced 3,891 vehicles in Q3, missing estimates of around 5,600. With 9,966 EVs produced through the third quarter, Lucid will need to build over 8,000 more to meet its full-year production goal of 18,000 to 20,000.

According to estimates, Lucid is expected to report an adjusted quarterly loss of $2.27 per share on revenue of $352 million in Q3 2025.

Lucid missed top and bottom-line estimates as it continues to address industry-wide supply chain issues that are hampering production of the Gravity SUV.

Although it missed estimates, Lucid reported Q3 revenue of $336.6 million, which is still up 68% from $200 million in the same period last year.

Lucid’s net loss narrowed to $978.4 million in the third quarter, or $3.31 per share, from $992.5 million, or $4.09 per share, in Q3 2024. On an adjusted basis, Lucid posted a loss of $2.65 per share.

In addition, Lucid said it agreed with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) to increase the delayed draw term loan credit facility (DDTL) from $750 million to around $2 billion.

Given the increase, Lucid said total liquidity would have been around $5.5 billion at the end of Q3, up from the $4.2 billion it reported. Lucid ended the third quarter with $1.6 billion in cash and equivalents.

Lucid said liquidity is enough to fund it through the first half of 2027, up from the second half of 2026, as previously forecast. Lucid plans to launch production of its more affordable midsize platform in late 2026 with vehicles starting at around $50,000.

Lucid confirmed it was still on track to start production of the midsize platform later next year. However, given the supply chain issues, it now expects to hit the lower end of its production goal at around 18,000.

Winterhoff said the company “remains intensely focused on ramping up production and addressing the significant supply chain disruptions impacting the entire industry.”

Lucid is advancing other emerging tech, including autonomy and intelligent mobility. Through a new partnership with NVIDIA, Lucid aims to be among the first to offer Level 4 autonomous driving.

The third-quarter earnings miss comes after Rivian (RIVN) beat expectations this week, reporting higher revenue and improving gross margins.

Robinhood doubles revenue as it beats third-quarter earnings expectations

Robinhood shares take a hit after reporting earnings beat, new CFO

Robinhood beat Wall Street expectations for the third quarter on Wednesday, extending a hot streak that has made it one of the biggest large-cap U.S. tech stocks this year.

Here is how Robinhood’s results compared to Wall Street estimates, according to analysts surveyed by LSEG:

  • Earnings per share: 61cents vs. 53 cents expected
  • Revenue: $1.27 billion vs. $1.19 billion expected

Revenue doubled year-over-year, while net income climbed to $556 million, or 61 cents per share, up significantly from the same quarter last year, when the company posted net income of $150 million, or 17 cents per share.

Transaction-based revenue, which is a proxy for trading activity, came in at $730 million, below StreetAccount’s $739 million estimate. 

“Q3 was another strong quarter of profitable growth, and we continued to diversify our business, adding two more business lines — Prediction Markets and Bitstamp — that are generating approximately $100 million or more in annualized revenues,” finance chief Jason Warnick said in the release.

Robinhood is closing the gap with Coinbase as it pushes beyond retail trading into full-scale wealth management. The company has been aggressively offering deposit matches to lure clients from Fidelity and Schwab, and assets under management have grown with its TradePMR acquisition.
