The ID.4 is due for a makeover for the 2026 model year, including a fresh new look and several upgrades. After Volkswagen unveiled the electric version of its best-selling SUV on Monday, we are getting a better idea of what the new ID.4 will look like.

We’re kicking off this week’s Green Deals with the official launch of Anker’s new SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 Portable Power Station starting from $429. Right behind it we have a spotlight on Rad Power’s RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike extra battery bundle for $1,599 that is part of the brand’s ongoing Fall Savings Sale, as well as EcoFlow’s latest 48-hour flash sale on four units, with the DELTA Pro 440W solar bundle hitting a new $1,899 low. There’s also new and returning low prices hitting EGO’s 56V 15-inch trimmer and 670 CFM blower bundle, Greenworks’ commercial-grade earth auger, and more waiting for you below. Plus, there are all the hangover deals from last week collected at the bottom of the page in our latest Electrified Weekly roundup coverage.

Polestar officially launched its long-anticipated 5 GT in Munich today, opening orders for select markets while sharing the performance specs future customers can look forward to experiencing.

The EV battery giant is unlocking more driving range and faster charging, but without the hefty price tag. CATL launched its new Shenxing Pro on Monday, the world’s first LFP battery with over 470 miles (558 km) WLTP driving range and ultra-fast charging in 10 minutes.

Ford just gave buyers what they have finally been asking for: More range without the higher price tag. The new 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning STX delivers just that.

Is the ID.Cross the low-cost SUV we’ve been waiting for? The Volkswagen ID.Cross debuted at the Munich Motor Show with the “secret sauce” as an affordable, stylish new electric SUV.

Solid-state battery developer QuantumScape and business partner PowerCo, a battery company under the Volkswagen Group umbrella, just completed their first live demonstration of QS solid-state lithium-metal batteries powering an actual vehicle. In this instance, the energy-dense solid-state battery cells powered a Ducati motorcycle.

Tesla (TSLA) is seeing its US market share of the electric vehicle market drop to new lows in August, according to data from Cox Automotive, a research firm.

It’s happening amid a surge in EV sales in the US, following the expiration of the federal tax credit.

Mercedes-Benz has now fully pulled the wraps off the all-electric GLC at IAA Mobility in Munich. A new next-gen electric powertrain now underpins the most popular model from the German luxury automotive brand.

Can it revive Mercedes’ EV momentum?

Rimac Technology used IAA Mobility in Munich to launch new products, including a new battery pack platform based on solid-state battery cells.

The company, better known for its electric supercars, is trying to position itself as a tier 1 automotive industry supplier with a new product lineup.

In the latest chapter of New York City’s crackdown on e-bikes, officials are exploring a plan that would help reduce the number of non-certified electric bicycle batteries used or stored in the city.

The US solar industry put nearly 18 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity on the grid in the first half of 2025. Even as the Trump administration rolled out anti-clean energy policies, solar and storage still made up 82% of all new power added to the grid in the first six months of the year. But the growth picture isn’t as sunny as it looks, according to the SEIA.

Inflation is back, with prices rising 2.7% compared to last year (and that doesn’t include food, fuel, or rent, which are up even more), which is objectively bad. But it’s not true that everything is getting more expensive. These inflation-busting EVs are heading into 2026 with prices that are lower than they were in 2025!

Sennebogen’s new 824 G Electro Battery material handler is being put through its paces at a recycling site in Munich’s Aubing district. And, thanks to its innovative grid-connected/battery system, it never has to stop to recharge!

MINI has partnered with lifestyle brand, Deus Ex Machina, to develop this. It’s called the Skeg, and it’s a high-performance, racing-inspired electric concept car that’s sure to lighten the mood – by shedding fully 15% of its mass in the quest for speed.

Veteran marine and industrial power solutions company Volvo Penta has joined forces with energy solutions provider e-power to build battery energy storage systems (BESS). Volvo Penta’s battery systems for energy storage will power BESS units built by e-power that can be catered to a range of applications, most notably construction rental clients like Boels Rentals in Europe.

That didn’t take long! Just a few hours after Mercedes revealed the screen-heavy interior of its upcoming 2026 GLC EV, photos of the new crossover’s exterior – and that controversial grille! – leaked on Instagram and Reddit. We’ve got them here.

For more than 30 years, John Deere’s go-anywhere Gator has been a trusted tool for ranchers, landscapers, and hobby farmers. But the all-electric TE 4×2 version of Big Green’s little truckster rarely gets to steal the spotlight from its ICE-powered 6×4 cousins.

We’re going to change that.

I’m going to start this off by immediately begging you not to buy this ridiculous contraption you’ll see in the article below. You’ve been warned. Ok, now feast your eyes on this monstrosity! A $350 e-bike from Alibaba that comes with not just a suspension fork, not just full-suspension, but at least five more shocks than any bike should ever conceivably possess, seemingly randomly sprinkled around the bike’s frame.

Tesla has changed the meaning of “Full Self-Driving”, also known as “FSD”, to give up on its original promise of delivering unsupervised autonomy.

The new Chevy Bolt EV is set to enter production later this year, with one fewer shift, following GM’s reduction in production plans at several US plants. Apart from the Bolt, GM promised a new family of affordable EVs. Are those, too, now at risk?

Connecticut and Rhode Island are suing the Trump administration to overturn its “baseless” decision to halt Revolution Wind, a nearly completed offshore wind farm set to deliver clean power to New England.

Canada is “reviewing” its current 100% tariff on Chinese EVs, which could potentially give another entry point for the inexpensive, advanced vehicles into the North American market.

The strange part? The review is being pushed for, mainly, by the premiers of right-leaning provinces. And it has everything to do with your cooking oil.
