Hiboy has launched its Valentine’s Day savings with up to 48% discounts across its EV lineup, with the brand’s latest S2 SE Electric Scooter falling to $[website] shipped for the first time in a sale outside of its New Year’s launch.

It’s standard package is not only matching in price at Amazon, but you can also score it with a seat for just $50 more (with the same option available directly from Hiboy too).

Building upon the popularity of Hiboy’s standard S2 model, the new S2 SE e-scooter comes with a solid array of fresh upgrades at an affordable rate that’s hard to pass up for those on a budget.

Riding was smoothed out further thanks to the 10-inch solid front tire to prevent punctures and the 10-inch pneumatic tire in the rear that increases shock absorption – with both tires’ grips on the pavement improving with the 17% width increase too. The improvements aren’t stopping there, as the fender comes 26% wider to prevent water toss-ups while traveling and the steel frame provides 20% more load capacity than its predecessors. Other capabilities include a folding design, LED headlight/taillight, an e-brake/drum brake system that is pretty standard for scooters, and an integrated HD LED display.

Freyr Battery cancels $2.6 billion Georgia battery factory plans

Norwegian battery firm Freyr has canceled plans for a Georgia factory that would have supplied batteries for energy storage.

First -Herald of Newman, Georgia, Freyr confirmed plans to cancel the factory in a letter to the local Coweta County Development Authority dated Jan. 21, and in a Thursday meeting with the authority. Freyr also told the Georgia Department of Community Affairs that it would repay grants and incentives tied to the factory project.

introduced in November 2022 and branded "Giga America," the factory would have sat on a 368-acre site in Coweta County, which is on the southwestern edge of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Production was due to be stepped up in phases, starting with a $[website] billion investment to build out 34 gigawatt-hours of annual production capacity. A second phase was to add more cell production lines and bring total investment to $[website] billion by 2029.

Rising interest rates, falling battery prices, and a change in leadership at Freyr all contributed to the decision, Jason Peace, the firm's senior vice president of business development, stated in an interview with The Newman-Times Herald.

Although oddly omitted in the original research, it's hard to imagine that policies of the Trump administration pulling back on incentives for renewables wasn't also a significant factor in this loss of potential Georgia jobs.

Freyr is also not on totally solid financial footing, the newspaper added. In its third-quarter 2024 financial results, the corporation reported a net loss of $[website] million, compared to $[website] million for the same period in 2023. Peace told authority members that Freyr had been burning cash to get the battery plant built, and was now looking at a nearly-finished solar-panel plant in Texas as an alternative, quicker way to generate revenue.

Rivian, meanwhile, still appears to be moving ahead with plans for an EV assembly plant about an hour from downtown Atlanta. The plant was unveiled in 2021 and originally scheduled to open in 2024, but Rivian then paused construction. As a result, the opening was first pushed back to 2027, and then 2028, with a $[website] billion conditional loan from the Department of Energy potentially helping get it across the line.

Report: Bankruptcy nears for Nikola, former hydrogen-hype darling

Nikola, a developer of hydrogen fuel-cell and battery-electric trucks that was once among the most hyped automotive startups, is now considering filing for bankruptcy, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing anonymous information familiar with the matter.

In 2020, when it went public via a then-fashionable reverse merger with a special purpose acquisition organization (SPAC), Nikola was worth around $30 billion, . But MSN reported not long ago that Nikola's stock price has tanked, bringing the organization's value down to $74 million.

In its most recent SEC filing, in December, Nikola indicated that it was running low on cash and would only have enough money to continue operating through the first quarter of this year. The enterprise has sought additional funding in recent months, and conducted two rounds of layoffs in October and December of last year. Nikola is yet to unveiled its Q4 2024 financial results, but in the December filing, it reported a net loss of $[website] million in the first nine months of that year.

Nikola Tre electric semi trucks delivering Nissan vehicles in the Los Angeles area.

Last Thursday, Nikola showcased that it was selling its battery assets to Mullen Automotive for an undisclosed amount. That comes roughly a month after Nikola's showcased that its battery-electric trucks had covered one million miles in service with individuals. The assets were likely inherited from battery maker Romeo Power, which Nikola acquired in September 2023 for around $[website] million.

Nikola started out not with hydrogen but with a natural-gas turbine, generating electricity to power its semi, with a huge 320-kwh battery pack. But by late 2016, it had shifted to hydrogen fuel cells while continuing to emphasize semi trucks.

Plans also included a fuel-cell pickup, called the Badger, which it turned out never existed to the level that CEO Trevor Milton had suggested—and would have relied on GM to a degree it never actually agreed. In 2020, around the time that the Badger was hyped, Nikola was valued by Wall Street higher than GM. Nikola even teased an ATV around this time.

Nikola continued to call itself a BEV and fuel-cell leader, before it actually delivered any trucks, as its stock continued to soar. It all came tumbling down in July 2021, when Milton was charged with securities fraud. That was after Milton left Nikola in response to a findings by activist short-seller Hindenburg Research alleging that Milton had misled investors in a range of ways, including that prototypes were moving with Nikola's own propulsion systems.

Nikola has gone on to deliver products at a more modest scale and ambition, as part of an attempt to rebuild and instead focus on medium-duty trucks after Milton. Although in the interim it's fallen behind in addressing a battery recall that took many of its first-generation trucks out of service.
