Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are finally here, and we’ve already been reveling the last week in all the early savings, but things are ramping up even further for the rest of this week. You’ll find a massive collection of deals across all our favorite Green Deal brands – both at Amazon and from direct websites – giving you a great chance at savings on EVs, power stations, electric tools, robots, and much more. It’s all been rounded up together and curated for you below, giving you a one-stop shopping hub for all your needs. Head on down and keep checking back throughout the week as we update this hub.

The US is planning a lot more gas power – and data centers are the culprit. Proposed grid-connected gas capacity has nearly tripled since early 2023, while plans for new wind power are shrinking.

The E-Space Concept is an all-electric reboot of Renault’s iconic minivan from the 1980’s.

Toyota’s joint venture, FAW Toyota, issued a statement denying reports that it’s “slashing prices” in China and may exit the market entirely.

It’s the very first day of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event, and we’ve got a jam-packed edition of Green Deals for you, with the many other deals we couldn’t fit here collected into our Fall Prime Day Green Deals hub here. To start, we’re getting some increased savings from Anker’s SOLIX Fall Prime Day Sale, with options like the 3,840Wh F3800 Portable Power Station down at an exclusive $1,710, among many others. Likewise, there’s EcoFlow’s Prime Big Deal Days Sale with major savings, including the 3,072Wh DELTA 3 Ultra Plus Power Station down at $1,438. From there, we have Segway’s e-scooter deals with up to 37% savings starting from $142, as well as ENGWE’s electric dirt bikes and e-bikes at up to 43% off starting from $599. There’s also the roundups of EGO Power+ tools, Greenworks tools, Segway’s Navimow i2 series robot lawn mowers at their best prices to date, and so much more waiting for you down below. You can also find yesterday’s hangover deals at the bottom of the page, like the Prime Sales from Velotric and Lectric, or Segway’s e-bikes with up to $2,200 savings, the exclusive Anker eufy security deals, and more.

Head below for other New Green Deals 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.

The 2027 Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback starts at $37,745, or nearly $8,000 more than its twin, the Nissan LEAF.

Tesla has turned on Powershare Home Backup for the Model 3 and Model Y, which means its two volume cars can now send power back into a house during an outage. Until today, the Cybertruck was the only Tesla that could do it.

There are limits. You need a Powerwall 3, and Tesla only guarantees the feature on cars ordered since October 1. For years, Ford and GM have been selling EVs that can back up a home.

BMW is expected to reveal the new iX4 this week. Ahead of its debut, images of the new iX4 leaked online, offering an early look.

The e SKY, Suzuki’s first electric kei car, is expected to undercut BYD’s Racco as Japan’s cheapest mini EV, starting at around $13,500.

Tesla has registered just 993 vehicles in India since it started deliveries there in September 2025, according to registration data compiled by Indian EV publication ElecTree.

But 294 of those came in September 2026 alone. That’s a record month for Tesla in India, and it comes right after the automaker cut prices and launched the six-seat Model Y L.

The Kia EV3 starts at $29,890 in the US, and after a day of driving it around Vancouver Island, I think it’s the best-packaged affordable EV you can buy right now.

It comes with up to 321 miles of range, two battery sizes, and available all-wheel drive, which is more choice than anything else at this price. But there’s a catch: that $30,000 price tag climbs fast.

There are plenty of ways to build a small electric vehicle. These days, the prevailing options have been to make it faster, give it more power, slap on bigger tires, or keep adding features until your humble little scooter has somehow turned into a 150-pound electric motorcycle.

Or you can be brave and go in the other direction to ask a simpler question: How much vehicle do people actually need for all those short trips around town?

Between increasingly extreme weather, rising electricity demands, and the rapid expansion of data centers, energy independence is starting to look less like a talking point for doomsday preppers and more like sound planning. That shift in thinking is driving more homeowners than ever towards solar-plus-battery energy solutions like the industry-leading Tesla Powerwall – but Powerwall isn’t the only game in town, anymore.

UPDATE 05OCT26: added the EcoFlow DELTA Pro.

Six Flags Magic Mountain is putting its parking lots to work with a new 12.37-megawatt (MW) solar installation – California’s largest solar carport. It’s expected to generate enough electricity each year to offset the annual power use of both the amusement park and neighboring Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles.

As if to prove that there may not be money for universal childcare or nationalized healthcare but there is ALWAYS more money for war, the US Department of War has awarded Amprius a $75 million grant to convert a civilian EV battery production line to churn out high-energy-density batteries for military drones.

BYD’s full-size flagship electric SUV is off to a strong early start, with more than 10,000 units sold in its first three months on the market.

Lucid (LCID) delivered 3,806 vehicles in the third quarter, down 7% from a year ago. It built only 2,954, a 38% cut from the previous quarter and its lowest production since early 2025.

The automaker says that’s on purpose. New CEO Silvio Napoli is selling down the unsold cars Lucid piled up in the first half of the year, and Q3 is the first quarter of 2026 in which it delivered more vehicles than it built.

A disguised Hyundai SUV has been spotted out testing, giving us an early look at what’s thought to be the IONIQ 4, or possibly the IONIQ 1.

We’ve got a bunch of official Prime Day sales packed into today’s weekly Green Deals kickoff, starting with the Velotric Fall Prime Day Sale with up to $550 e-bike savings that has given us the first discount on its Summit 2 Hybrid Mixed-Terrain e-bike for $1,999. Right behind that we have Lectric’s Better-Than-Prime Sale with up to $694 e-bike bundle savings + price cuts, like the XPeak2 Off-Road Fat Tire e-bike at a new $1,299 low. There’s also four exclusive Anker security camera and smart lock deals, like the EufyCam S3 Pro 4K Solar Security 2-Cam Kit with HomeBase 3 at $420, as well as EcoFlow’s latest flash sale that has dropped the 3,072Wh DELTA 3 Ultra Power Station to $1,199, and a special Buy 2 get $200 off Segway e-bike promotion that can score you up to $2,200 total savings – plus, some other popular sales running right now. You can also find the hangover deals from last week collected together in our latest Electrified Weekly roundup edition here.

Kia’s electric van might look even cooler as a dump truck. The PV5 was made into a dump truck, and it works.

Toyota will invest around $1.3 billion, the largest in Argentina’s automotive industry to date, to produce a new electric vehicle at its site in Buenos Aires.

Gas cars are now a minority of the world’s new car sales. Gasoline-only vehicles made up 49% of global new-vehicle sales in the first half of 2026, down from 73% in 2021, according to Mobility Global data first reported by Nikkei.

It’s the first time on record that they’ve been under half. But there’s a catch: most of the cars taking their place still have a gas tank.

The Lucid Cosmos is out testing in California traffic. A camouflaged prototype of the midsize SUV was photographed on Highway 101 in Morgan Hill, about 40 miles south of Lucid’s headquarters in Newark.

The four photos show the sub-$50,000 SUV from the rear and the side. They come two months after Lucid pushed the Cosmos launch back to the second half of 2027.
