Bi-directional Charging / Home Power Backup

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

One of the biggest things I'm looking at in the total utility delivered from an EV Pickup is its ability to compliment my whole-home security plan; power being the most important.

I really hope this truck has 2 things:

  1. Auto Bi-Directional kick-in (with safety checks).
  2. On-board generator, either for range extending or destination self-recharging.
I would love to see this vehicle as my own portable powerhouse, and oh yeah, it also seats 6 ( I definitely want seating for 6).

I have been baffled by the fact that many EVs are not offering a way to power a house. EVs is a massive power bank. I do not understand why they don't make it available to drive a home. I live in an area where utility service is not as reliable as I want. It would be really really cool to be able to use Scout vehicle as a back up. For me, it will seal the deal.

Offer a 240 30A L14-30R or better yet a 50A 14-50R for the Traveler SUV to allow connection to a home or camper.
