BLUETTI EB3A Portable Power Station
BUETTI EB3A Portable Power Station
Weighing just 10 pounds, the EB3A is one of BLUETTI’s most compact and portable solar generators. It features a 268 Wh LiFePO4 battery, nine versatile outlets, and the wireless charging pad on the top is a nice perk. The EB3A is great for camping, RV trips, and other on-the-go activities.
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
BUETTI AC200P
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.
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
BUETTI AC200MAX
The AC200MAX is rarely discounted, so here’s a sweet treat: BLUETTI has dropped between $100 and $400 off the AC200MAX and its combos.
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

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.
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.
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.

Plant Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant in Waynesboro, GA, August 15, 2024.
Van Applegate | CNBC
Westinghouse plans to build 10 large nuclear reactors in the U.S. with construction to begin by 2030, interim CEO Dan Sumner told President Donald Trump at a roundtable in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Westinghouse’s big AP1000 reactor generates enough electricity to power more than 750,000 homes, according to the company. Building 10 of these reactors would drive $75 billion of economic value across the U.S. and $6 billion in Pennsylvania, Sumner said.
The Westinghouse executive laid out the plan to Trump during a conference on energy and artificial intelligence at Carnegie Mellon University. Technology, energy and financial executives announced more than $90 billion of investment in data centers and power infrastructure at the conference, according to the office of Sen. Dave McCormick, who organized the event.
Trump issued four executive orders in May that aim to quadruple nuclear power in the U.S. by 2050. The president called for the U.S. to have 10 nuclear plants under construction by 2050. He ordered a “wholesale revision” of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s rules and guidelines.
The U.S. has built only two new nuclear reactors over the past 30 years, both of which were Westinghouse AP1000s at Plant Vogtle in Waynesboro, Georgia. The project notoriously came in $18 billion over budget and seven years behind schedule, contributing to the bankruptcy of Westinghouse.
The industry stalwart emerged from bankruptcy in 2018 and us now owned by Canadian uranium miner Cameco and Brookfield Asset Management.
Westinghouse announced a partnership with Google on Tuesday to use AI tools to make the construction of AP1000s an “efficient, repeatable process,” according to the company.
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.
