Velowave’s Range fat tire e-bike sees $400 discount
Velowave is offering its Ranger Fat Tire e-bike on sale for $1,399 shipped with the final discount reflecting at checkout. Down a full $400 from its normal $1,799 going rate, today’s deal saves a total of 22% and delivers a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. As a fat tire e-bike, you’ll be able to take the Ranger basically anywhere you want to go. From sandy beaches this summer to across snow this winter, it’ll handle whatever you throw at it. There’s also a 330-pound maximum capacity which means that you can ride with some cargo easily.
With a top speed of 28 MPH, this e-bike will let you get to and from work with relative ease. Whether you choose to ride under the bike’s own power or use your legs to pedal and have it simply assist, it’s ready to help you travel the city without fossil fuels this summer. The 15Ah 48V battery will last for up to 40 miles on a single charge, which means you’ll be able to ride for quite some time before needing to charge. In fact, at full speed, you can ride for nearly 1.5 hours before it’s time to plug back in, just to put that into perspective. Of course, not a single drop or gas or oil is required here, meaning you’ll be able to lessen your reliance on fossil fuels for summer travels around town.
An $80 discount on EGO’s Power+ 56V lawn mower is the perfect time to go electric at $349
Amazon is now offering the EGO Power+ 21-inch 56V Cordless Electric Lawn Mower for $349 shipped. Typically fetching $429 this year, you’re now looking at the best price yet following the $80 discount. It’s matching our previous mention from back at the beginning of April and is the first chance to save since. Powered by a 5Ah battery and rapid charger that are included in the box, this EGO Power+ mower arrives with a cordless design that can tackle medium-sized yards with a 45-minute runtime. Alongside a 21-inch cutting deck, there’s also 3-in-1 bagging features for bagging, mulching, and side discharging cut grass. Summer is just getting started, making today’s price cut the perfect chance to finally ditch the gas mower from your arsenal and adopt a far more environmentally-friendly solution. All without having to pay full price, of course.
Also getting in on the savings is the dual 4Ah battery version of the EGO Power+ mower above. This model packs the same cutting technology as the package above, just with a pair of batteries for extra runtime. Courtesy of Amazon, it drops down to $499 from its usual $599 price tag in order to match the best price of the year. This is also sitting at the same price as our previous mention from earlier in the spring.

![The Genesis GV60 MIV is one hardcore EV that climbs mountains [Video]](https://i0.wp.com/electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/01/Genesis-GV60-MIV-EV-6.jpeg?resize=1200,628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1)
The luxury carmaker channeled its inner superhero with this one. Genesis unveiled the new GV60 Mountain Intervention Vehicle (MIV) this week in Switzerland, an off-road EV that can climb mountains. The concept is designed for extreme rescue missions. Check it out below.
Meet the Genesis GV60 MIV rescue EV concept
Genesis showed off the new GV60 MIV this week at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. Crowds lined up to see it at the AMERON Davos Swiss Mountain Resort, not far from the WEF venue.
Based on its first dedicated EV, the GV60, the concept is designed to tackle extreme terrain and weather on rescue missions.
The purpose-built vehicle gains off-road elements like snow tracks and medical and emergency communication systems for rescue missions on mountains or other extreme terrain. Other upgrades include a custom heavy-duty roof rack and rear hatch rack.
Genesis added large carbon fender flares to warn those nearby and protect the vehicle from damage in extreme weather.
With a fully electric powertrain, the Genesis GV60 MIV has no tailpipe emissions, protecting the environment. It’s also nearly silent, with minimal noise pollution.
Inside, the off-road electric SUV includes custom sports seats, adding to the GV60’s already impressive interior design.
The concept follows the upgraded GV60, revealed earlier this month. Genesis updated it with redesigned front and rear bumpers, more tech, and added luxury.
Like the new 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5, based on the same E-GMP platform, the upgraded GV60 is expected to feature a bigger battery providing more range. Powered by an 84 kWh battery, the 2025MY now has up to 318 miles range, up from 303 miles in the outgoing model (77.4 kWh battery).
The 2025 Genesis GV60 starts at $52,350 in the US and has a range of up to 294 miles. Once the upgraded model arrives in 2026, the electric SUV could have a range of up to 300 miles.
| 2025 Genesis GV60 trim | Range (EPA-est) |
Starting Price* |
| Standard RWD | 294 miles | $52,350 |
| Standard AWD | 264 miles | $55,850 |
| Advanced AWD | 248 miles | $60,900 |
| Performance AWD | 235 miles | $69,900 |
What do you think of the GV60 MIV? Should Genesis get these onto the mountains? Or should it stick to on-road luxury cars? Let us know in the comments.
Ready to try out the electric luxury SUV for yourself? With the 2025 models arriving, Genesis is offering generous discounts on the 2024 lineup while they are still in stock. You can use our link to find offers on 2024 and 2025 Genesis GV60 models at a dealer near you today.

LNG pure-play Venture Global’s IPO tests appetite for energy stocks under Trump administration
Rivian (RIVN) already has several automakers reaching out about potential supply deals for software and other EV tech. According to Rivian’s Chief Software Officer, Wassym Bensaid, its new partnership with Volkswagen has other OEMs “knocking on our door.”
Will Rivian and VW supply EV tech to other automakers?
After launching “Rivian and VW Group Technology, LLC,” their new software and EV joint venture in November, the collaboration is already showing potential.
Bensaid, who co-leads the new joint venture with VW’s Casten Helbing, said in an interview on Thursday (via Reuters) that the collaboration is in talks with at least a few other automakers over potential supply deals for software and EV architecture.
“I’d say that many other OEMs are knocking on our door,” he said. Although no names or other details were revealed, Bensaid added that “there is demand.”
The software leader explained that Rivian is prioritizing its smaller, more affordable R2 until 2027 while integrating the new tech into upcoming VW, Audi, Porsche, and Scout brand EVs.
Bensaid added that the new JV “today becomes one of the key partners” for other automakers who want to “make a leap from a technological standpoint.”
Last week, German news outlet Spiegel reported that VW could expand the partnership with Rivian. Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume said, “We are thinking about sharing modules and bundling purchasing volumes.”
VW is already planning to invest $5.8 billion, which, according to Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe, is a “meaningful financial opportunity.”
Rivian is already using the platform and software stack on its Gen 2 R1S electric SUV and R1T pickup, a drastic upgrade from the previous version. The architecture uses seven electronic control units (ECUs), down from 17 in the Gen 1 models.
The new models also include Rivian’s new in-house autonomy system, the Rivian Autonomy Platform, which consists of 11 cameras, five radars, and other features for added driver assist (ADAS) features.
At the opening of the new Rivian Space in San Francisco on Thursday, Scaringe said the company plans to roll out hands-free driving this year. It’s expected to be similar to Tesla’s Full-Self Driving (FSD). In 2026, Rivian will launch an “eyes-free” system as it advances new tech and software.
Electrek’s Take
The JV with Volkswagen could be significant for Rivian as it looks to accelerate growth in 2025. After shutting down its Normal, IL manufacturing plant last April for upgrades, Scaringe said the company is already seeing “a meaningful reduction” in material costs.
Rivian’s R2, starting at around $45,000, is expected to open an entire new market. Analysts expect the VW partnership to provide enough funding for the R2 to enter production, which is expected in the first half of 2026.
Last week, Rivian closed its loan agreement with the US Department of Energy (DOE) for up to $6.6 billion in financing for its new manufacturing plant in Georgia. The EV maker has already started hiring construction and management workers, with recruitment “expected to ramp quickly.”
Will Rivian’s EV architecture and software “become the platform of choice in the Western world” aside from Tesla? That’s what Canaccord Genuity analysts said in a note to investors.
