Rivian is back with another Halloween update, and once again it’s another classic-movie-themed one with a new celebrity cameo.

BYD offered an early look at the third-generation Tang’s interior, its flagship “tech-savvy” five-seat electric SUV.

Amazon’s Fall Prime Day Sale event is over, but that doesn’t mean the savings are slowing down, and we’re keeping all the ongoing deals in our updated Fall Prime Day Green Deals hub here for the rest of the week. Leading today’s edition of Green Deals is the latest and final EcoFlow Prime Day flash sale running for 72 hours, with offers like the 2x 1,024Wh DELTA 3 Classic power station bundle down at $889, alongside some other notable units from $599. Right behind that we have collected all the ongoing Segway Fall Deals Deals Day Sale savings on e-scooters, with continuing options like the ZT3 Pro Off-Road Electric Scooter down at $800. We also have Anker’s SOLIX Prime Deals Encore Sale offering the 2,048Wh C2000 Gen 2 Portable Power Station with a 400W solar panel at an exclusive $1,330, among others, as well as the Segway Navimow i2 Series Robot Mowers at their lowest prices, a continuing low price on EGO’s 56V 12-inch Electric Snow Shovel, and more options hanging onto savings for a while longer.

Volkswagen issued another recall affecting more than 22,500 ID.4 models. Until a fix is ready, it recommends owners charge the battery to no more than 80%.

BMW’s new electric SUV just got the M treatment. The new BMW iX3 M60 “raises the stakes,” packing a combined 603 hp and plenty of standard M upgrades.

VinFast wants to put electric buses on US streets, and its pitch goes beyond the vehicles: charging, maintenance, and operations bundled into one package. Deliveries of buses approved for US use are expected to begin in Q1 2028.

Tesla is preparing a dedicated Tesla Semi service center in Las Vegas, according to a new building permit filed with Clark County, Nevada.

It’s one of the first concrete signs of the service network Tesla needs to support its electric Class 8 truck, which only entered volume production two weeks ago.

BMW revealed the new iX4, its new electric coupe-SUV that can drive up to 428 miles on a single charge.

Tesla spent months pushing the Dutch vehicle regulator RDW to scale back its review of “Full Self-Driving (Supervised),” including disputing a €365,000 bill, according to emails obtained by Reuters. RDW later approved the system and is now asking the EU to do the same.

That Dutch approval is the foundation of Tesla’s entire FSD push in Europe. Eight EU countries now allow the system, and a bloc-wide vote could come as early as December.

Portsmouth International Port has taken a huge step towards reducing the air pollution caused by idling marine engines with the launch of the UK’s first high-voltage, multi-berth shore power system that allows docked ships to connect to grid power and shut off their on-board generators. In theory, shore power reduces emissions and slashes fuel costs.

The reality is somewhat different.

The world’s ports operators work in confined spaces, moving massively heavy loads with incredible precision in perilous conditions with razor-thin margins. It’s no wonder, then, that they’re moving to electric equipment – and the Port of Helsingborg is just the latest to do so, thanks to its latest order for two new Kalmar reach stackers.

An ice cream stop could soon double as a fast-charging stop for EV drivers in Ohio. Family-owned United Dairy Farmers (UDF) is adding its first DC fast chargers at six of its 170 stores, with openings expected to begin in early 2027.

Update 10/8: We’re keeping this hub updated for the rest of the week, so all the deals on EVs, power stations, tools, and smart appliances/devices that remain have yet to end.

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.

BYD is testing “unprecedented disruptive technology” in its upcoming executive electric sedan, including coach doors and possibly solid-state EV batteries.

A Tesla Cybercab was involved in a crash in Philadelphia this week, and it came out of it missing the entire outer panel of its driver-side door.

We don’t know who was at fault or whether Tesla’s software was driving. But Tesla has no permit to run automated vehicles in Pennsylvania, and that narrows down what this car was doing on Broad Street.

Volkswagen opened pre-orders for the ID. Polo GTI, the first electric hot hatch to bear the iconic GTI badge.

It’s the second and last day of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event, and we’ve got another deal-packed smorgasbord of Green Deals for you, with all the others we couldn’t fit here collected into our Fall Prime Day Green Deals hub here. Starting off today’s edition is Jackery’s full Fall Prime Day Sale with up to 65% discounts and bonus savings codes, with it offering the 3,584Wh HomePower 3600 Pro Max Power Station at a new $1,664 low, while Bluetti has a number of units at up to 50% off, including the 1,024Wh Elite 100 V2 Power Station at $449. There is also the MASSIVE array of Anker security device deals at up to 50% off starting from $18 for some of the best prices we’ve seen yet, as well as ECOVACS’ O1000 and A2000 LiDAR Pro Robot Lawn Mowers at new lows starting from $949. We also have more on Segway’s Max G2 e-scooter, a new low price on a carbon-fiber EGO Multi-Head Combo kit, a roundup of all the Worx tool deals, Beatbot’s returning low prices on robot pool cleaners, Anker’s Nebula portable projectors, and more.

Porsche has finally confirmed that there will be no more gas-powered Boxster/Cayman going forward, and that all-electric versions of those vehicles will have their first production year in 2028.

The move shows that Porsche is finally ready to bring electric power to its sportscars… but Porsche’s CEO still says the 911 will “never” go electric. We think time will show him to be wrong on that one.

California is putting at least $28 million toward more public EV fast chargers – and it could pick up the entire eligible installation bill.

Kia said the EV2 is already seeing “significant and immediate demand,” with 3,386 registrations in the UK so far.

Tesla delivered just 8,295 “Other Models” in Q3 2026, down 48% from a year ago and the lowest total for the category since 2021. With the Model S and Model X out of production, almost all of them were Cybertrucks.

That gives us the cleanest look yet at Cybertruck sales. We estimate Tesla delivered 7,000 to 8,000 of the trucks last quarter, a pace of about 30,000 a year from a line it planned for 250,000.

If you’ve ever looked at a cargo e-bike and thought, “Sure, but where am I supposed to put the other six people?”, SixThreeZero may finally have the answer.

The company’s latest addition to its growing e-bike and e-trike lineup, the Long Range Luxury Rickshaw, is already a fairly ridiculous machine in its standard form. It combines three wheels, dual motors, rear passenger seating bench, and enough battery capacity to make many electric motorcycles jealous. But start adding its optional passenger trailers, and you can essentially build yourself a seven-person electric bicycle train.

Rivian is rolling out Pet Cam, a new feature in software update 2026.36 that lets R2 owners check on a pet left in the vehicle through a live video feed in the Rivian app.

It’s exclusive to the R2. R1T and R1S owners get new remote Pet Mode controls instead, and the same update brings the Rivian Assistant to the R2, four months after the SUV launched.

You can now customize Hyundai’s off-road electric SUV and test it out… virtually.
