Huffy today has their huge “shed” sale on eBikes (and acoustic bikes too) knocking as much as 66% off the prices of some of their popular eBikes which come with free shipping over $49. Huffy bikes and batteries are UL 2849 standard listed so there’s reduced fire risk, too. To sweeten the pot, students can knock another 30% off the price making the starting price under $300(!!)

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.

Huffy eBikes go on deep discount starting at just $425 in time for spring joyrides

Probably my favorite one here is the Panama Jack 26-inch fat tire 500W model that comes with a removable bag basket, bottle opener (!!), and cup holder for $699. And this is’t just for DUI folks with pulled licenses, though it will serve them nicely. That 48V 500W motor will go up to class 1 speeds 20mph and beyond for up to 40 miles of range. The fat tires are going to be great for the beach or absorbing potholes.

If low price is the priority, check out the Everett + Men’s 27.5-inch Electric Comfort Bike, which drops to $425. Also if you are into the 20-inch fat tire folding scene, Huffy has the Motoric Adult 20″ Electric Folding Bike, Black Blue or Green, 36V for $799, normally $1600.

Let meross’ smart switch turn your lights off for you

The official meross Amazon storefront is currently offering its 3-way HomeKit Wi-Fi Smart Dimmer Switch Kit for $40.99 shipped once you clip the on-page coupon for Prime members. Typically $52 for non-Prime members and on sale for $47 if you have Amazon’s subscription service, today’s deal comes in with as much as $11 in savings and also marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. For further comparison, our last mention for this kit was back in February at $46. If you’re looking for an easy way to save some cash this summer, turn your lights off. It’s really that simple. Even though you might have switched to all LED lights throughout the house, like I did, leaving them on all day or even overnight will add up for sure. And, remembering to turn all the lights off in the house before leaving for work can be hit or miss.

Are you wondering how much electricity it could be? Well, an average 60W-equivilant LED light takes up 9W of electricity. Leave 10 of those on for 10 hours (an average time to be gone from home for an 8-hour workday with travel time), and you’ve now used 1kW of power. Double that to 20 bulbs, and that’s 2kW, and so on. Given how many bulbs are in our homes, it’s easy to see how that can add up over days or weeks. That’s where smart switches come in.

This switch simply installs in the wall in place of your existing switch, delivering smart control the moment it’s paired to your Wi-Fi network. Today’s deal is designed to work with 3-way lights, but in areas where you just need one, meross has a 2-pack of similar (non-dimmer) switches for $22 at Amazon. Once you install and set up, then it’ll be easy to add the light switches into your smart home routines, automatically turning the house off when you leave and back on whenever you arrive at home. This means that throughout the day when nobody’s home, you won’t be burning electricity, spending money, and using up more fossil fuels at the power generation plant. An added benefit is integration with your favorite voice control platform, be that Siri, Alexa, or Assistant. This allows you to do things like say “Hey Siri, turn the lights off” as you go to sleep in the bedroom and have the whole house turn off with ease, saving money overnight just the same.

Our exclusive code saves $898 on EcoFlow’s latest DELTA 2 Max power station at $1,599

Wellbots has partnered with 9to5Toys to offer our readers a special deal on the all-new EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max. The Portable Power Station with two 160W Solar Panels is now on sale for $1,599 shipped with the code TOYSGREEN50 at checkout. The Delta 2 Max just launched last week at $1,899 for the power station alone, and $2,548 when bundled with a single 220W solar panel. Buying the power station and dual 160W solar panels right now would set you back a total of $2,497, with today’s deal saving $898 and also marking the first discount that we’ve tracked on the recently-released power station.

As EcoFlow’s latest release, the DELTA 2 Max offers quite a lot of features. For starters, it can recharge from 0% to 100% in just 81 minutes when plugged into an AC outlet and go from 0% to 100% in 2.3 hours when leveraging the full 1,000W solar input capacity. If you need to get to just 80%, then it’ll take just 53 minutes when plugged into the wall. This means that you can keep the power station recharged at home, but also easily power up on-the-go, making this an ideal option for those who want to live off-grid for any length of time this summer. Keep reading for more.

EcoFlow’s latest power station also has a lot of output options to run your campsite or home with. Delivering up to 2,400W of continuous AC power, the DELTA 2 Max has enough juice to run a fridge, freezer, small heater or AC, and much more. There are also dual 100W USB-C ports for charging your MacBook Pro or other device as well as multiple other output options to hook up a wide range of products. Of course, you won’t need any gas or oil for this power station thanks to its LFP batteries, which EcoFlow claims will last for 3,000 charging cycles before losing 20% of its capacity, which is five times the competition.

The included two 160W solar panels will be perfect for charging up your new power station when off-grid, as well. Both can plug into each other then the DELTA 2 Max and provide up to 320W of electricity from nothing more than the sun’s rays. This means that you can recharge the DELTA 2 Max while camping and not have to worry about finding a traditional plug to top the power station off. Plus, if the power goes out at home, then these solar panels would also be a great way to keep the fridge and freezer running for an extended period of time until the lights come back on. Find out more about the EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max in our announcement coverage.

GE Vernova lands repower orders for 1 GW of US wind turbines

GE Vernova lands repower orders for 1 GW of US wind turbines

GE Vernova’s onshore wind business announced that it received orders in 2024 to repower over 1 gigawatt (GW) of wind turbines in the US.

Wind energy repowering is all about breathing new life into older turbines. By swapping out aging parts like turbines, blades, and nacelles for the latest tech, wind farms see significant boosts in efficiency, power capacity, and overall lifespan. Other infrastructure and control systems can also get a second life.

Adding new components to existing infrastructure and grid connections means it’s less expensive to extend the life of the wind farm with fewer resources. New components make the turbines less prone to breakdowns which means less maintenance, so there are fewer operational costs. 

The repowering projects for which GE Vernova received orders will use nacelles and drive trains that it manufactures in its Pensacola, Florida, factory.

“As the United States works to meet the doubling of projected demand for more energy, repower projects like these help US workers in US factories take advantage of what we already have, where we already have it,” said Matt Lynch, general manager of Repower at GE Vernova. 

The orders were booked between the first and fourth quarters of 2024. GE Vernova’s wind repower projects are expected to come online between 2024 and 2027.

GE Vernova’s onshore wind business has a total installed base of approximately 56,000 turbines and nearly 120 GW of installed capacity worldwide.

Kia’s NACS adapters available now; Supercharger access still pending

Kia's NACS adapters available now; Supercharger access still pending

Kia’s official first-party NACS adapters are now ready to ship out, but owners will have to wait to use them on Tesla Superchargers until later this quarter.

The rollout of Supercharger access to non-Tesla brands is hitting a fever pitch this year, with several brands added to the “coming soon” list, and even beyond that, VW and Honda have both made their own announcements that access is coming soon.

But for most vehicles, charging on Superchargers will require an adapter for the time being, as most brands aren’t adding native NACS ports to their vehicles until a future date (the current exceptions are the 2025 Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 which have native ports).

Each manufacturer is dealing with adapter rollouts separately, and Kia’s ready to announce that their adapters are ready to go.

Kia told us today that shipments of first-party adapters are currently en route to dealerships, and certain owners will be getting a notification soon to claim their adapter.

In Kia’s previous announcement about adapter availability, it said that any 2024 or 2025 EV6 or EV9 owners who took delivery after September 4 would get a free NACS adapter. Those owners should receive a push notification soon in their Kia Connect app through which they can claim their adapter.

For other owners, adapters will be available from Kia dealers for $249, which is roughly in line with the average cost we’ve been seeing for these adapters. Dealers should be getting the adapters any day now.

However, these adapters will be of limited usefulness for the next several weeks. You’ll be able to use them to charge at Tesla destination chargers, or any home charger with a Tesla/NACS plug on it, but Supercharger access still requires a handshake between the car and the charging network, and that handshake is currently disabled.

Originally, Kias were going to gain access on January 15th, but that was pushed back until the “back end of this quarter.” Some owners found out a loophole to allow for charging on the network, but that loophole was closed just yesterday.

As a result, Kia is also including “definitive instructions” on how to use the adapters along with each shipment. It wants to ensure that everyone is using them properly, especially given the recent back-and-forth about, uh, unsanctioned methods to access the network before official availability.

Kia’s EV6 with the native NACS port has also taken longer to arrive than Hyundai’s 2025 Ioniq 5. Ioniq 5s are already shipping (and can even charge faster than Teslas at a Supercharger, a feat the EV6 should also achieve), but EV6s haven’t yet hit dealerships. They should be on around the same timeline as Supercharger access, and ought to be available in the back half of this quarter.

So… Kia fans will still have to wait a little bit, but at least you’ll have the adapters ready to go for when the floodgates open later this quarter.

If you’re looking to buy one of the fastest-charging EVs on the road today, use our link to check local dealers and get in line for when they get the new 2025 Kia EV6s in stock.

They have pre-vetted installers competing for your business, ensuring high-quality solutions and 20-30% savings. It’s free, with no sales calls until you choose an installer.
