Anker's newest power station is a good mix of power and portability
Anker just took the wraps off its new Solix F3000 power station that's portable enough for vanlife, and powerful and scalable enough for life at home. The system recharges in a variety of ways including by solar panels, an EV charger, and gas generator with full passthrough to simultaneously power most household devices. This giant rolling battery can power critical devices — or even a whole home — during extended blackouts, reduce monthly energy bills when plugged into the home's circuitry, or extend road trips when traveling well beyond the electrical grid. The F3000 is built around a 3.1kWh LFP battery and inverter that converts all that stored energy into up to 3,600W of 120V AC output. You can add three additional 3.1kWh expansion batteries to it for 12kWh of total capacity. For reference, a typical US home consumes about 889kWh per month, or about 29.2kWh per day. But not every device is needed during a blackout, and vanlifers require far less capacity and power (I use about 1.6kWh per day in my own van). You can also tie two F3000 power stations together with an optional hub to boost output to 240V / 7200W if you need to power heavy-duty AC appliances like water pumps and home air conditioners. Naturally, this power station is also slathered in outlets, including two USB-A and two 100W USB-C ports, four 20A AC, one 30A AC, and a single 12V cigarette socket. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing any mention of a high wattage 12V output (like an Anderson port) for easy integration with an RV's electrical system. The integrated wheels help you relocate the F3000 to the kitchen, bedroom, or picnic table — wherever you need power. Anker doesn't provide a weight, but 3kWh power stations with these specs are usually around 80 to 90 pounds. There's also no mention of fan noise, which can be bothersome on some power stations. Image: Anker The Solix F3000 accepts up to 2400W of solar charging via 165V and 60V inputs when the sun is shining. Otherwise, it can be charged (with optional adapter) by a 120V gas-powered generator while simultaneously delivering up 3600W appliances to devices plugged directly into the unit. That little trick is even more magical when the power station is connected to the house via a bidirectional inlet box and smart meter (both sold separately) that ties the power station directly to your home's circuitry. It means you can scale back on your whole home battery backup array (saving you lots of money) while still having the peace of mind that you can withstand an extended blackout for as long as you have liquid fuel and the ability to withstand all that noise and stink. Notably, Anker says that the F3000 is super efficient in a new sleep mode, which reduces idle energy drain to 24.4W when powering low-wattage devices like fans and computers. That means the power station's battery should last over five days with the inverter on but sleeping, or almost two days when powering a home fridge. Overlanders who spend weeks off the grid will welcome that efficiency. On paper, the Solix F3000 seems like a good compromise between portability, power, and expansion, putting it in competition with EcoFlow's Delta Pro 3, Bluetti's Apex 300, and Jackery's HomePower 3000, to name a few of the more popular brands. I like that it's more portable than Anker's flagship Solix F3800, which offers more capacity and expansion but in a tower orientation. The Anker Solix F3000 lists for $2,499 with each additional battery priced at $1,499. Accessories include the Solix Smart Meter ($199), EV Charging Adapter ($99), TT-30 Charging Cable ($49), and Double Voltage Hub ($199). Discounts are available now before sales begin on June 25th at the full retail price.

7 Other Times F1 Red Bull Racing Was Quick to Dump Drivers
Red Bull has a history of making swift decisions on underperforming drivers—whether at the senior or junior team—though none have been taken quite as quickly as the call to demote Liam Lawson. Autoweek looks at other occasions when a Red Bull driver had a short spell at either team. Reigning F3000 champion Tonio Liuzzi joined Red Bull—then a midfield outfit—on a peculiar drive-share deal, splitting the seat with incumbent Christian Klien. Klien did the first three Grands Prix, then Liuzzi was given a four-event chance, scoring a point on his debut at Imola. But Red Bull realized the shared drive situation was detrimental and Klien saw out the rest of the season. Liuzzi nonetheless remained within the Red Bull fold and was place at Toro Rosso for 2006 and 2007 after the energy drinks company bought and rebranded the ailing Minardi Daniel Ricciardo surprised Red Bull mid-2018, opting to leave for pastures new at Renault, the team responded by promoting Pierre Gasly for 2019. Gasly had spent just over a year at junior team Toro Rosso, and was ostensibly next in line. His chapter at Red Bull, however, was challenging. Gasly made errors and lacked the pace of teammate Max Verstappen, words which may sound familiar and resonant in 2025. There were flashes of promise, including fourth place at the British GP, but that proved to be the high point, and when Formula 1 split for the summer break Red Bull decided to demote Gasly back to Toro Rosso. He remained at Toro Rosso through 2022, famously winning the 2020 Italian GP, before joining Vettel's exit prompted Red Bull to put Daniil Kvyat into the senior team for 2015, after just one season with Toro Rosso, and it was a slow start as Red Bull struggled with its least competitive package in a generation. It was a solid but unspectacular season, with Kvyat scoring a best of second in Hungary, but after just four grands prix of the following campaign Red Bull swung the axe. A poor home Grand Prix in Russia proved the catalyst but the wider picture was the emergence of Max Verstappen, with Red Bull's decision to put the Dutchman into the senior team soon paying dividends. Kvyat returned to Toro Rosso/AlphaTauri for two spells but never truly flew a decade after he first joined Red Bull's driver scheme, Hartley was a surprise choice in late 2017 when the company dropped Kvyat (who, eventually, was brought back for 2019). It was not a successful partnership. Hartley was occasionally hamstrung by reliability issues through 2018 but a spate of big accidents, and a lack of performance compared to Gasly, meant Red Bull started shopping around for replacements only a few rounds into the season. The amiable Hartley saw out the year in an increasingly fractious atmosphere but was finally told of his sacking a few minutes after the final was brought in as the replacement for Gasly and initially fared well, scoring a string of top six finishes, and denied a podium in Brazil only by a wayward Lewis Hamilton. The Covid-hit 2020 season was a mixed bag and Albon's performances were erratic, taking podiums in Tuscany and Bahrain, but elsewhere failing to live with the pace of the front-running drivers. Red Bull instead signed veteran Sergio Perez for 2021 though kept Albon on as a test and reserve driver, before he joined Williams for Vries was a peculiar signing, as it came four years after he won the Formula 2 title, and ostensibly off the back of his impressive stand-in display at Monza for Williams in 2022. The partnership never worked out. The early-season AlphaTauri car in 2023 was slow but de Vries was shaded by Yuki Tsunoda, and senior figures quickly realized that they had made a mistake in signing the Dutchman. After the British Grand Prix, with de Vries still without a point, Red Bull reacted and dropped him, with Daniel Ricciardo brought back into the fold at add this to the list, in slightly tenuous circumstances, given Ricciardo previously spent two years with Toro Rosso before a five-year stint at Red Bull that he ended on his own terms. Ricciardo's mid-2023 comeback, after his McLaren spell was truncated, started with the ambition of returning to a Red Bull seat. There were flashes of speed, but displays were inconsistent, not aided by a wrist injury just three events into his return, and he too often trailed Yuki Tsunoda. By mid-2024 the writing was on the wall, and after the Singapore GP he was dropped, announcing his retirement a few days later.
