Does adding a new home solar panel system makes sense in northern climates? This Canadian homeowner did just that – and after a cold, dark, and dreary winter collecting data, they’re sharing their real-world results online!
Tesla published its company-compiled Wall Street consensus for first-quarter 2026 deliveries on Thursday, and the number — 365,645 vehicles — paints a picture of a company still struggling to return to meaningful growth after two straight years of declining sales.
The consensus, drawn from 23 sell-side analysts, implies an 8% increase from the 336,681 vehicles Tesla delivered in Q1 2025. But that comparison is misleading, and the market knows it.
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is in full swing, and we have our second day of Green Deal picks from both the retailer’s event and direct brand sales. We have two different roundups on EcoFlow power stations today, with the first being a number of units at Amazon seeing up to 53% savings that undercut the direct Spring Sale event, like the popular 768Wh RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station down at $315. There’s also EcoFlow’s latest direct 48-hour flash sale that has 2,048Wh, 4,096Wh and 6,144Wh stations at their second-best prices starting from $749. Segway has expanded its Navimow Spring Sale by adding the newest models to the deals lineup, like the X430 Robotic Lawn Mower down at $2,299 – plus, there’s some optional bonus savings to drop it back to its launch deal low. We also have a massive EGO Power+ cordless electric tool roundup with up to 37% savings, as well as Aiper’s robotic pool cleaners and smart devices, amongst others. And for all the ongoing hangover deals from past days and latest Big Spring Sale deals alike, you can find them all collected into our Green Deals spring shopping hub here.

After introducing the first mass-produced EV with a semi-solid-state battery, MG Motor said it will bring the new battery tech to Europe by the end of 2026. In China, the new MG4 with a semi-solid-state battery starts at under $15,000. Although not that cheap, the new EV is expected to remain affordable in Europe.
A new charging milestone for electric trucks was just achieved in California – and it’s a big one.
France’s Finance Minister confirmed that between 30% and 40% of Gulf refining capacity has been damaged or destroyed by Iran’s retaliatory strikes, leaving a shortage of 11 million barrels per day on global oil markets. The destruction is now pushing consumers toward electric vehicles at a pace not seen since the 2022 gas crisis.
With gas prices approaching $4 per gallon nationally and already past $5 in California, data from multiple sources shows EV interest surging across the board — from Google searches to dealership inquiries.
I’m very much among those who believe “the correct number of e-bikes to have is N+1”. But I’m also a realist (and one who knows that happy wife equals happy life), and so I recognize that we often have to make due with the bike we have. And it was in that vein that I thought it’d be fun to take a city-focused electric bicycle on an off-road trip to see how it would handle. I wanted to show, or perhaps just prove to myself, that my everyday beater city e-bike could perform where you might think a dedicated electric mountain bike or fat tire e-bike would be a necessity.
And if I’m being completely honest with myself, I wound up in a bit over my head. But all is well that ends well, and here I am the next day, slightly sore, but still able to type it out.
