BLUETTI AC200 Series – powerful generalists
The Bluetti AC200P and AC200MAX are all-rounders. They can quickly power your house in the event of a power outage as well as keep you powered up when you’re off grid.
AC200P and combos
The AC200P features a 2000W inverter and a 2000Wh LiFePO4 battery that gives it a long lifespan (10 years at a circle per day) and excellent performance.
Its 17 versatile outlets ensure every device can be juiced up in a timely manner.
- AC200P is on sale for $1,399, down from $1,599.
The AC200P’s capacity is expandable: If it’s connected to the B230 or B300 boosters (see below), the AC200P’s capacity will reach 4048Wh and 5072Wh, respectively.
A XT90-P090D connection cable worth $89 will be included free for those who buy the AC200P or the combo of either the AC200P+B230 or AC200P+B300.
There are seven ways to top up the unit’s power, including wall outlets, the car, a gas generator, and solar panels.
If you use solar, the AC200P gets a maximum of 600W solar input with three PV200 solar panels, or 700W with two PV350 solar panels. When 400W AC input is combined with 700W solar charging, AC200P can be fully recharged within three hours.
AC200MAX and combos
The AC200MAX is rarely discounted, so here’s a sweet treat: BLUETTI has dropped between $100 and $400 off the AC200MAX and its combos.
- AC200MAX is on sale for $1,799, down from $1,899.
For example, the AC200MAX with one B230 expansion battery pack will cost only $2,999, down from $3,298.
The AC200MAX – an upgrade from the AC200P – comes with a 2048Wh LiFePO4 battery pack and a 2200W pure sine wave inverter. AC200MAX can also expand its capacity with two B230 or B300 to max 6144Wh and 8192Wh.
With 16 outlets, AC200MAX can run multiple devices simultaneously without breaking a sweat.
To recharge, the AC200MAX is capable of accepting up to 900W solar input and 500WAC input at the same time, and it’s fully charged in 2-2.5 hours.
Battery boosters for power freedom
If you have one or more power stations from BLUETTI and want to beef up your system, these two battery boosters will give your system a lift.
With safe and durable LFP cells as the core, the B230 and B300 hold 2048Wh and 3072Wh power storage, respectively, and retain 80% of their capacity after 3,500 life cycles.
They can also charge devices directly as they feature three outputs: a 100W USB-C, a 12V/10A car output, and a USB-A port.
The B230 is compatible with BLUETTI AC200MAX, AC200P, EB150, and EB240.
The B300 is compatible with AC200, AC200P, AC300, AC200MAX, EB150, EB240, and EP500Pro.
One example of a great combo sale deal is the AC200MAX+B230, which can be had for $2,999, down from $3,298.
BLUETTI solar panels
BLUETTI’s solar panels are made from monocrystalline cells that provide up to 23.4% efficiency. Surfaced with ETFE material and equipped with an IP65 junction box, they are designed to withstand scratches, and they’re water repellent. The fold-and-go design makes them easy to store or transport.
PV350 is the latest innovation, boasting a 350W solar output. Those who want to go solar can consider the following combos: B230+PV350/PV200 B300+PV350/PV200. BLUETTI is currently knocking $199 to $399 off for these new bundles. Get yours now starting from $1,699.

Tesla’s retro-futuristic diner with Superchargers and giant movie screens is ready to open, and I have to admit, it looks pretty sick.
This project has been in the works for a long time.
In 2018, Elon Musk said that Tesla planned to open an “old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in Los Angeles.” It was yet another “Is he joking?” kind of Elon Musk idea, but he wasn’t kidding.
A few months later, Tesla applied for building permits for “a restaurant and Supercharger station” at a location in Santa Monica. However, the project stalled for a long time, apparently due to local regulations.
Nevertheless, Tesla still moved forward with a Supercharger at the location, but it had to move the diner project to Hollywood. In 2022, Tesla filed the construction plans with the city, giving us the first look at what the automaker intends to build.
In 2023, the automaker broke ground on the site of the diner.
7 years after being originally announced, the project appears now ready to open:
Musk said that he ate at the diner last night and claimed that it is “one of the coolest spots in LA.” He didn’t say when it will open, but Tesla vehicles have been spotted at Supercharger and people appear to be testing the dinning experience inside.
A Tesla Optimus Robot can be seen inside the diner on a test rack. It looks like Tesla might use one for some tasks inside the diner.
Earlier this year, Tesla integrated the diner into its mobile app – hinting at some interaction through the app – possibly ordering from it.
Electrek’s Take
I think it looks pretty cool. I am a fan of the design and concept.
However, considering the state of the Tesla community, I don’t think I’d like the vibes. That said, it looks like Tesla isn’t prominently pushing its branding on the diner.
You can come and charge there, but it looks like Tesla is also aiming to get a wider clientele just for dining.

Hyundai’s electric minivan is finally out in the open. The Staria EV was caught without camo near Hyundai’s R&D center in Korea, giving us a closer look at the electric minivan undisguised.
Hyundai’s electric minivan drops camo ahead of debut
The Staria arrived in 2021 as the successor to the Starex, Hyundai’s multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). Although the Staria has received several updates throughout the years, 2026 will be its biggest by far.
Hyundai will launch the Staria EV, its first electric minivan. Like the current model, the 2026 Staria will be available in several different configurations, including cargo, passenger, and even a camper version.
We’ve seen the Staria EV out in public a few times already. Last month, we got a glimpse of it while driving on public roads in Korea.
Despite the camouflage, new EV-like design elements were visible, including updated LED headlights and a full-length light bar. Although it’s still unclear, the electric version appears to be roughly the same size as the current Staria from the side, but slightly wider from the front.
New images posted on the South Korean forum Clien reveal a test car, expected to be Hyundai’s Staria electric minivan, without camo.
Like most Hyundai test cars, the prototype has a black front and a grey body. It still features a similar look to other prototypes we’ve seen, but you can clearly see the new facelift.
Earlier this year, a Staria EV was spotted in a parking lot in Korea, featuring a similar look. The electric version is nearly identical to the Staria Lounge, but with an added charge port and closed-off grille.
The Hyundai Staria EV is expected to make its global debut later this year. Technical details have yet to be revealed, but it’s expected to feature either a 76 kWh or 84 kWh battery, providing a range of around 350 km (217 miles) to 400 km (249 miles).
Hyundai’s electric SUV arrives after Kia introduced its first electric van, the PV5, which launched in Europe and Korea earlier this year.
In Europe, the Kia Passenger PV5 model is available with two battery pack options: 51.5 kWh and 71.2 kWh, providing WLTP ranges of 179 miles and 249 miles, respectively. The Cargo version has a WLTP range of 181 miles or 247 miles.
