Are you ready for spring this weekend? Well, picking up the Hover-1 Highlander electric scooter is a great way to get outdoors now that the weather is warming up. While quick walks down the block are nice for short trips, when you need to traverse a few miles to head to work, an electric scooter is a much better way to get rid of your gas-powered vehicle. The Highlander from Hover-1 can travel up to 15 MPH and as far as nine miles on a single charge, and is currently $60 off at $240. We also have a wide selection of Tesla, Greenworks, and other 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, more on why going electric for your yard tools like the mower on sale is important, 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.

Now launching on Indiegogo, we got to test out the revolutionary new driveshaft e-bike ahead of time to let you know if it’s worth a second look.

Spoiler alert: It definitely is, *if* you’re a city dweller.

Volvo flew us out to sunny Palm Springs to test the relatively new C40 BEV. But the Gothenburg, Sweden-based company couldn’t help but give us a quick drive in the bigger XC60 Recharge plug-in hybrid while we waited. The mid-sized SUV got a nice upgrade this year to 35 miles of all-electric driving in its ‘Pure’ mode. That puts it into our “if you can commute without using gas, it’s an EV” category, but that wasn’t the only improvement…

One area of the EV experience that traditional automakers seem to have little thirst for is the DC fast charging network that recharges their cars over long drives or in cities where Level 1/2 charging is inaccessible. Volvo is now exploring its own DC Fast Charging network of sorts, and it’s teamed up with charging heavyweights Starbucks and Chargepoint to do so…
