Honda is shelving its massive C$15 billion ($11 billion) EV and battery manufacturing hub in Ontario, Canada, according to a new report from Nikkei. The move escalates what was initially framed as a temporary pause into what increasingly looks like an indefinite retreat.
The decision is the latest domino to fall in Honda’s accelerating withdrawal from electrification, which has already included a $15.7 billion writedown, the cancellation of three key EV models for the US market, and the death of its Sony Afeela partnership.
Our Tuesday Green Deals is bringing along a wide selection of EVs, power stations, and tools, though its the former of those three that are headlining. First, we have Ride1Up’s Portola Compact Folding e-bike (with two battery setup options) that is getting a larger-than-ever $300 clearance sale price cut to new low prices starting from $795. Right behind that, we have a rare chance to score the EGO Power+ Nexus Portable Power Station with 4x 5.0Ah batteries down at $1,438, as well as a spotlight on ENGWE’s L20 3.0 Full Suspension Utility e-bike with a FREE $214 bundle at $1,349. We also have a new low price on the Gotrax Fitz16 electric dirt bike for kids, one of the best prices for Jackery’s 292Wh Explorer 300 power station, the best price in 10 months on Greenworks’ 40V pole saw + pole hedge trimmer combo kit, and much more waiting for you below – including several sales that will be ending tonight and tomorrow. And don’t forget about the hangover deals at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s Baseus X1 Pro dual-tracking solar security camera low, the new low price hitting ENGWE’s EP-2 3.0 fast-charging long-range folding commuter e-bike, 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.
Two California port trucking operators have ordered a combined 60 Tesla Semi trucks through Forum Mobility, the charging infrastructure provider backed by Amazon and CBRE. It marks one of the largest Tesla Semi fleet commitments to date from the drayage sector.
The orders come from Big F Transport, which committed to 40 units, and NICA Container Freight Line, which ordered 20. Both fleets will operate out of Forum Mobility’s new charging depot under development in Rancho Dominguez, California.
Volkswagen is collaborating with Max Kruse Racing to build a racing version of the current-generation Golf R suitable for the 2027 Nürburgring 24 Hours.
Volvo Trucks announced a new, all-electric power take-off (PTO) that’s significantly expanding what the brand’s VNR Electric semi trucks are capable of – just before teasing not one but two all-new HD truck offerings.
Honda's $15.8 billion hit from canceling plans for three EVs will mean the company's lineup will have to soldier on without major updates until after 2030.
Quick enough to outrun its own price tag?
Volkswagen now owns 209.8 million shares of Rivian (RIVN), representing a 15.9% stake in the EV startup, according to a new SEC filing. The German automaker has overtaken Amazon as Rivian’s single largest shareholder for the first time since the company’s 2021 IPO.
The stake increase came after Volkswagen’s US subsidiary purchased 62.9 million new shares on April 30 at $15.90 per share — a roughly $1 billion investment triggered by the joint venture hitting its latest testing milestone.
Emails obtained by Reuters from European regulators reveal significant skepticism toward Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” system, with officials raising concerns about speeding, icy road safety, and driver distraction — just as the company pushes for EU-wide approval.
The revelations come on the same day that the Dutch regulator RDW is presenting Tesla’s FSD approval to the EU’s Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles, a critical step toward broader European deployment.
Ford recently opened a “skunkworks” facility to accelerate EV development in the hopes of catching up with China, whose EV industry is rapidly taking over the globe. We got a chance to look behind the veil and see what they’ve been up to in developing the new “Universal EV.”
Juiced Bikes is officially back.
After the brand was acquired by the team behind Lectric eBikes, perhaps the biggest name in the budget e-bike space, Juiced is relaunching with a renewed focus – and two new models that feel very much like a return to its roots. The new Juiced Scrambler Hardtail and Scrambler Full Suspension aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel, bur rather are doubling down on what Juiced always did best: fast, powerful, moto-style e-bikes that punch above their price.
And this time around, they’re doing it with a stronger emphasis on safety, component quality, and long-term reliability.
Ford gave us a tiny glimpse at the new pickup, and as next year's debut approaches, here's what we think it'll be like.
San Diego, California-based electric bicycle maker Ride1Up has just carved out a place for itself in the history books, announcing today the world’s first electric bicycle with a semi-solid state battery, the Ride1Up Revv1 EVO. It could be one of the most important technological shifts we’ve seen in e-bikes in years.
The new battery touts many major advantages, from safety to longevity with a 10-year lifespan. And unlike some other major solid state battery news that is increasingly starting to look more like fluff than substance, Ride1Up is actually positioned to deliver.
Philadelphia is gearing up for a major buildout of curbside EV chargers.
