Save up to $1,500 off EcoFlow portable power stations during Amazon Prime Day 2023
“Prime power, prime choice” – that’s the mantra EcoFlow is spreading as we approach this year’s annual Amazon Prime Day sale. Whether you’re already a solar generator owner or are considering your first portable power station, there’s a myriad of reasons to abandon gas generators, especially if it’s a product from EcoFlow. Check out the company’s Prime Day deals below.

Why choose a solar generator or portable power station?
As we mentioned before, there is a laundry list of reasons why solar generators are better than traditional gas options – beyond the obvious fact that you don’t have to deal with nasty fumes or carbon emissions.
Yes, the peace of mind of knowing you’ve switched to clean, renewable energy should be enough in theory, but that’s not always the case in the real world. Peace of mind brings us to our next argument – solar generators are significantly quieter. Gas generators run at an average of 70 decibels. Noise to that degree and higher over extended periods of time can actually cause hearing damage. Not with an EcoFlow solar generator.
Take the DELTA 2 MAX, for example. It only puts out 30 dB, which is less than half the noise of a gas generator and significantly quieter than EcoFlow competitors, whose products start at 45 dB. The DELTA 2 MAX is also $200 off during EcoFlow’s Prime Day sale, but we will dig into those savings later. We still need to convince you to make the switch, remember?
Here’s another big one – free energy! A huge advantage of a solar generator is its ability to garner and store free power from the Sun. Set it outside in an open area with a portable EcoFlow solar panel, and let it do its thing. Then you can use that generator, like the DELTA Pro, for example, to power your home – whether it’s during peak grid hours, an outage, or a weather emergency.
Still not sold? We’ll see about that. Did we mention that EcoFlow’s portable power stations can be used anywhere? You’ll have to leave that noisy, smokey gas generator outside in a ventilated area, but not with an EcoFlow. Bring it inside! Use it in your car! Keep it in your tent to power your electronic devices while you camp and watch scary movies. Power stations like the EcoFlow RIVER Pro give you more ways to utilize clean energy and more places to safely use it – all with zero maintenance. Take that, gas.
Why choose EcoFlow this Prime Day?
Okay, so you’re finally onboard to the solar generator train. We’re happy to have you, but now it’s time to choose your products. Might we suggest EcoFlow? Just like there are plenty of reasons to use a portable power pack instead of a gas generator, there are plenty of reasons why you should consider buying one from EcoFlow, especially while it’s running its massive Prime Day sale.
Industry-leading technology
EcoFlow is a prime example of success through innovation. The company released the world’s first portable battery, complete with an expandable ecosystem of beneficial uses. The company’s X-Stream technology currently helps deliver the world’s fastest AC and dual charging rates, up to 3x the industry standard.
Products like the DELTA Max can fully recharge in under two hours, even quicker if you combine two charging methods like AC and solar. Portable power stations like the DELTA MAX also feature X-Boost technology that can power heavy-duty appliances at a wattage over the station’s allotted output without the risk of overloading itself.
Modularity and complete control
As you may have noticed from some of the EcoFlow product images featured above, many portable stations come with extra batteries available, whether it’s through a bundle or individual sale this Prime Day. This modularity allows EcoFlow owners to expand their storage to fit their needs, whether powering an outdoor get-together, an office out in nature, or an entire home during an outage.
At the center of all home backup storage is the EcoFlow app. Here you can check your system’s remaining battery capacity, monitor the current recharging status, and even automate your power consumption wherever you are.
Longevity
This Prime Day, your one-time purchase of an EcoFlow solar generator can get you up to 10 years of everyday use. Each product comes with a 5-year worry-free warranty, and EcoFlow’s lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries have a six times longer lifespan than nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) cells. That means they can endure over 3,000 full charge cycles up to 80%, ensuring your power station stays strong and lasts long.
No better time for EcoFlow products than Prime Day 2023
Amazon might be hosting Prime Day, but EcoFlow’s sale to celebrate the annual event lasts much longer, with plenty of opportunities for unique savings and free gifts. For example, now through July 10, take advantage of deals up to 59% off.
Keep an eye out for flash day sales for 12 hours each day on July 3, 6, and 10. During that initial EcoFlow Prime sale window, you can also take advantage of the following perks:

Kia’s electric van was spotted in the US again, but this time it looks a little different
Is Kia’s electric van finally coming to the US? The Kia PV5 was caught testing with a unique design, hinting it’s destined for the US.
Is Kia’s electric van coming to the US?
Although Kia has yet to announce it publicly, all signs point to the PV5 launching in the US. In February, the electric van was first spotted charging at a station in Indiana.
A few photos and a video sent to Electrek confirmed it was indeed the Kia PV5. The sighting came somewhat as a surprise, as the only official statement from Kia said the PV5 would arrive in Europe and South Korea this year, followed by “launches in other markets” in 2026, but no mention was made of the US.
After another PV5 was spotted in Arizona, rumors that Kia’s electric van was coming to the US began to surface again.
Kia still has yet to confirm or deny a US launch, but another sighting hints at the PV5’s imminent debut. The latest spotting, by KindelAuto, appears to be of the US-spec 2026 Kia PV5.
It looks about the same as the Kia PV5 Passenger, which is already available in parts of Europe and South Korea. However, although it’s not very clear, Kia’s electric van appears to have added side marker lights, a requirement in the US.
Following its launch in the UK earlier this year, the Kia PV5 Passenger is now being introduced to new European markets.
In the UK, it starts at £32,995 ($44,000) on the road. In Germany, the PV5 Passenger is priced from €38,290 ($45,000) or €249 per month.
Kia’s electric van is available in two variants: Passenger, for everyday driving, and Cargo, for business use. The PV5 Passenger is available with two battery pack options: 51.5 kWh and 71.2 kWh, providing WLTP ranges of 183 miles and 256 miles, respectively. Meanwhile, several more variants are on the way.
During its PV5 Tech Day in July, we learned that Kia plans to launch seven PV5 body types, including a Light Camper, a premium “Prime” Passenger model, and an open bed version.
We’ll have to wait for the official word, but there’s still hope Kia’s electric van will make it to the US. We should find out soon. Can we get the EV5 too? That might be pushing it.

A new review of US Energy Information Administration (EIA) data by the SUN DAY Campaign reveals that in July, solar-powered electricity shot up by over 30%, while wind grew by almost 14% in the US.
Solar continues to break records in July
EIA’s latest monthly “Electric Power Monthly” report (with data through July 31, 2025), once again confirms that solar is the fastest growing among the major sources of US electricity.
In July alone, electrical generation by utility-scale solar (i.e., >1-megawatt (MW)) surged by 36.9% compared to July 2024, while “estimated” small-scale (e.g., rooftop) solar PV increased by 12.7%. Combined, they grew by 30.4% and provided 9.4% of US electrical output, up from 7.5% year-over-year.
Moreover, utility-scale solar thermal and photovoltaic expanded by 37.4%, while generation from small-scale systems rose by 11.0% during the first seven months of 2025 year-over-year. The combination of utility-scale and small-scale solar increased by 29.9% and was 8.9% (utility-scale: 6.7%; small-scale: 2.2%) of total US electrical generation for January to July – up from 7.0% a year earlier.
As a consequence, solar-generated electricity year-to-date (YTD) easily surpassed – by over 54% – the output of US hydropower plants (5.7%). In July alone, solar-generated electricity more than doubled the output of hydropower. In fact, in both July and YTD, solar produced more electricity than hydropower, biomass, and geothermal combined.
And for the first time ever, 4% more electricity was generated in July by utility-scale solar (33,119-GWh) than by wind farms (31,831-GWh). Including small-scale systems, solar outproduced wind by over 35% during the month (43,092 GWh).
Wind is still on a growth trajectory
US wind turbines produced 10.8% of US electricity in the first seven months of 2025, an increase of 3.5% year-over-year, and they almost doubled electrical generation by the nation’s hydropower plants.
In July alone, wind-generated electricity was 13.8% greater than a year before.
Wind + solar are beating coal, nuclear
During the first seven months of 2025, electrical generation by wind plus utility-scale and small-scale solar provided 19.6% of the US total, up from 17.8% during the first seven months of 2024.
Further, the EIA reports that the combination of wind and solar provided 19.1% more electricity than did coal during the first seven months of 2025, and 14.1% more than nuclear. In fact, as solar and wind grew rapidly, nuclear-generated electricity dropped by 1.0%.
Renewables are still on the rise
All renewables combined (wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal) produced 9.9% more electricity between January and July than they did a year ago and provided 26.7% of total US electricity production compared to 25.1% 12 months earlier.
Electrical generation by the combination of all renewables grew three times faster than total US electrical generation (9.9% vs. 3.3%). Renewables’ share of electrical generation is now second to only that of natural gas, which saw a decline in electrical output by almost 3.5% during the first seven months of 2025.
“Notwithstanding enactment of the anti-renewables provisions in the Trump megabill, solar and wind continue to power ahead,” noted the SUN DAY Campaign’s executive director, Ken Bossong. “Meanwhile, the electrical output YTD by the Republicans’ preferred technologies – nuclear power and natural gas – has actually fallen.”

Lucid Motors (LCID) delivered the first Gravity Robotaxi EV to Nuro on Wednesday, marking a milestone in its partnership with Uber.
Lucid delivers the first Gravity Robotaxi EV to Nuro
In July, Lucid announced a partnership with Uber and Nuro to deploy 20,000 autonomous Gravity SUVs over the next six years.
The alliance is already on the move. Lucid announced that it delivered the first Gravity EV to Nuro on Wednesday, which will be used for the Uber robotaxi fleet.
Lucid’s electric SUV will be equipped with Nuro’s Level 4 self-driving tech, including the sensors and other hardware.
Starting in 2026, Uber aims to launch “20,000 or more” Lucid robotaxi’s over the next six years. The vehicles will join Uber’s network and will be available to use through the Uber App. To help kick-start the alliance, Uber is investing $300 million into Lucid.
Lucid said delivering the first vehicle, “marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter,” teasing that more is to come soon.
Although Gravity production at its plant in Casa Grande, Arizona, was limited due to supply chain issues earlier this year, Lucid said it has mostly resolved the problems.
Lucid’s interim CEO, Marc Winterhoff, said during an interview with Brew Markets on Tuesday that the Gravity has “so many orders” that the company will honor the $7,500 EV tax credit until the end of the year.
Introducing our Robotaxi Engineering Fleet.
Lucid has delivered the first @Uber-exclusive robotaxi engineering vehicle to @nuro for integration with the Nuro Driver.
This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter—stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/It5rWqFHS2— Lucid Motors (@LucidMotors) September 24, 2025
According to Winterhoff, Lucid doesn’t “want to tell order holders, you know what, you’re out of luck, we didn’t deliver in time.
Despite many of its luxury rivals, including Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, pulling back on electrification plans, Winterhoff said Lucid will remain a pure EV company.
Winterhoff said the loss of the federal $7,500 EV tax credit will have a limited impact on sales due to Lucid’s market position and pricing.
