Well, stop dealing with those inconveniences and go green in 2023. Right now, you can pick up the Greenworks Pro 80V 21-inch cordless electric mower on sale for $373 at Amazon, which is $124 below its normal going rate. With up to 60 minutes of mowing time per charge, you won’t have to worry about fossil fuels ever again for mowing the yard. in We also have a wide selection of Tesla and e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.

Head below for other New Green Deals that we’ve found today and of course Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Tackle tough lawn chores without gas or oil

Amazon is offering the Greenworks Pro 80V 21-inch Cordless Electric Lawn Mower for $372.81 shipped once you clip the on-page coupon. Down from $497, today’s deal comes in at the second-best price of the year for this model, though it did fall to $345 once earlier this month. Outside of that though, this is among the best pricing that we’ve seen. With the two 2Ah 80V batteries included in the package, you’ll find up to 60 minutes of runtime before it’s time to head back inside. This comes from the TRUBRUSHLESS motor which delivers twice the torque, power, and longer runtimes compared to normal brushed alternatives.

Of course, the main benefit of going with a Greenworks mower is the ability to ditch gas and oil from your weekly lawn care routine. The 80V batteries provide “gas-like performance” according to Greenworks and you’ll also find additional benefits to ditching fossil fuels here. You won’t have to worry about changing spark plugs, rebuilding carburetors, or dealing with annoying pull cords to start it. Simply press the button and the quiet electric motor begins to spin the blade and you’re ready to mow.

Swagtron’s EB-11 e-bike is made for cruising at $300 off

Adorama is offering the Swagtron Swagcycle EB-11 Beach E-bike on sale for $699.99 shipped. Down from a $1,000 list price, and $989 going rate at Amazon, today’s deal comes in at one of the best discounts that we’ve tracked all-time. Though, it has fell as low as $600 back in October of last year. Perfect for hitting the beach or cruising the street, this e-bike has a lot of functions. With tires over two inches wide, this e-bike will easily handle riding on softer surfaces like sand or dirt with ease. On top of that, the Shimano 7-speed gear system will help when you want to do a bit more of the heavy lifting, though the 250W electric motor can kick in when you need a bit of help. The removable battery can power the e-bike for up to 28 miles per charge and even allows the EB-11 to ride at up to 15.3 MPH. Take a closer look at what the Swagtron EB-11 has to offer in our announcement coverage.

Hover-1’s motorcycle-style Altai Pro 500W e-bike sees very first discount at $414 off

Amazon is now offering the first discount on Hover-1’s new Pro Altai R500 Electric Motorbike. Dropping all three styles down to $1,885.99 shipped, you’d more regularly pay $2,300. Today’s offer amounts to $414 in savings while also landing at the best discount we’ve seen. This model just launched earlier this year and is now seeing its first price cut across the board. Hover-1 Altai Pro may arrive as an e-bike, but its design screams more motorcycle with a rugged frame that houses the 500W electric motors. It can travel 60 miles on a single charge and at top speeds of up to 28 MPH, all of which is thanks to the 48V/20Ah lithium-ion battery that refuels over night in 8 hours. Circling back to that unique frame design, there are two saddle bags, as well as storage racks, and not to mention the pair of 20-inch fat tires that help you handle uneven terrain. Hover-1 lastly outfits the Altai Pro with a headlight, taillights, turn signals, and side mirrors.

On a more affordable side of the e-bike market, Hover-1 also has its Instinct model that clocks in with $799 price tag. This one trades in the more rugged motorcycle aesthetic of the lead deal for a traditional e-bike build that can still handle traversing 40 miles on a single charge. It just clocks in with a 15 MPH top speed thanks to the 350W motor and 26-inch tires. Still, at far less cash than the lead deal, this is a much more affordable option for getting an EV in your garage ahead of spring that also clocks in at $200 off and a new all-time low.

Dumb Tesla news: “affordable” new Model Y costs $2,000 more than before

Dumb Tesla news:

On today’s incredibly frustrating episode of Quick Charge, Tesla is making it easier than ever to make fun of them by rolling out a new, “affordable” Model Y that costs $2,000 more than the “expensive” one did last week, thanks to the cancellation of the $7,500 tax credit that Elon Musk (the guy who is so good at business that he’s allegedly worth $1 trillion) spent $200 million campaigning for.

We’ve also got the new, single-motor Volvo EX30 at a price that undercuts the cheap Tesla, but includes a full length glass roof that isn’t inexplicably covered in upholstery to punish poor people. All this and more – enjoy!

Today’s episode is brought to you by Climate XChange, a nonpartisan nonprofit working to help states pass effective, equitable climate policies. The nonprofit just kicked off its 10th annual EV raffle, where participants have multiple opportunities to win their dream model. Visit CarbonRaffle.org/Electrek to learn more.

The 2026 Chevy Equinox EV gets a slight price bump and more

Chevy’s electric SUV is now the best-selling EV in the US outside of Tesla. The 2026 Chevy Equinox EV is slightly more expensive than the outgoing model, but GM has added new style packages for you to choose from.

GM raises 2026 Chevy Equinox EV price, adds options

The Chevy Equinox EV doesn’t need much help. Starting at just $34,995, the 2025 Chevy Equinox quickly became one of the best-selling electric vehicles in the US.

Entering its third year, the Equinox EV remains GM’s most affordable EV, with starting prices slightly higher at $36,495. That includes the $1,395 destination fee.

Since it’s a carryover model, there aren’t too many changes, but buyers will have several new style packages to choose from.

The 2026 Chevy Equinox LT gains a new Midnight Package, which adds black emblems, bowtie, badging, wheel caps, and 19″ black painted aluminum wheels, for $595.

There’s also a new Tech Bronze Package available on the LT and RS trims. The new option includes a Tech Bronze decal, a black nameplate, a black bowtie emblem, and 21″ Tech Bronze wheels. It costs an extra $3,595.

The 2026 Chevy Equinox EV is now listed on GM’s website. It’s still available in LT1, LT2, and RS trims with Front Wheel Drive (FWD) and All Wheel Drive (AWD) powertrain options.

The base 2026 LT FWD trim starts at $36,495 with up to 319 miles of range, including a $1,395 destination fee. Upgrading to AWD costs an extra $5,300, with a slightly shorter range of 307 miles.

Chevy Equinox EV trim 2025 Starting Price 2026 Starting Price EPA-estimated Range
LT 1 FWD $34,995 $36,495 319 miles
LT 1 AWD $38,295 $39,795 307 miles
LT 2 FWD $43,295 $43,295 319 miles
LT 2 AWD $46,595 $46,595 307 miles
RS FWD $44,795 $45,595 319 miles
RS AWD $48,095 $48,895 307 miles

Following another record quarter of EV sales in Q3, GM said that the Chevy Equinox EV was the best-selling non-Tesla electric vehicle in the US.

With several new affordable EVs arriving, including the new Nissan LEAF, will the Equinox continue to be a top seller in 2026? It will be interesting to see where the rankings end up at this time next year.

InstaVolt is using GPS tracking to catch thieves stealing its EV charging cables

InstaVolt is using GPS tracking to catch thieves stealing its EV charging cables

A surge in EV charging cable thefts is putting the reliability of the UK’s charging network at risk and undermining trust among drivers. InstaVolt is the UK’s largest network of fast chargers, and over the past two years, nearly 1,000 of its charging stations (it has over 2,100, so nearly 50%) have been targeted by cable thieves. But now InstaVolt is fighting back with GPS tracking.

Bafflingly, the incentive for thieves is low-value scrap: There’s only about £25 ($33) worth of copper inside a charging cable. But the damage is costly – around £1,000 ($1,342) per site for repairs.

In April, InstaVolt CEO Delvin Lane told the BBC that the thefts had cost his company about £410,000 ($550,150) since November 2023. Lane said, “This isn’t just an InstaVolt problem; this is an industry problem. The biggest impact is on drivers.”

InstaVolt has reinforced its cables with Kevlar sheaths, making them harder to cut. It has also rolled out live GPS tracking across its network on its charging cables in partnership with GPS supplier Trackit247. The technology provides location updates every three seconds, allowing the company to detect, trace, and recover stolen cables in real time.

Each charging cable is geo-fenced to its charger, so an alert is immediately triggered if it moves outside the designated area. InstaVolt’s 24/7 security center receives instant notifications by text, email, and phone, and it can coordinate directly with the police.

The system’s biggest advantage is live tracking in transit. If a thief drives off with a charging cable, police can follow its exact route and move in fast, increasing the chance of recovery and arrest. Instavolt’s GPS technology marks a major step forward in protecting critical EV infrastructure, deterring theft, and enabling quick response when it happens.
