The Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus is essentially a 2,042-watt-hour portable power station with ultra-fast charging. However, typically, you have to buy the accessories separately when you buy the station. As part of a pretty crazy early Prime Day deal, however, you can get the Jackery solar generator and two 200-watt solar panels in a bundle for a ridiculous price. Usually $3,299, the bundle is just $1,899 for a limited time, saving you $1,400.

The solar panels make it even more versatile as you can charge it virtually anywhere with access to reliable sunlight.

A new battery technology could allow electric vehicles to drive for a million kilometres, according to the researchers who created it.Alongside battery capacity, their lifespan remains one of the big drawbacks of electric vehicles. After some time, those battery degrade and need to be replaced – which can be costly, environmentally damaging and complicated.Much of the problem comes from the way that lithium secondary batteries of the kind used in electric vehicles store their charge. They do so by converting electrical energy into chemical energy to store it, and then turn back into electrical energy to use it.They do that by...
