I'm based in Alaska and had some questions about how Scout Motors plans to handle the extreme cold. Last winter, we faced temperatures as low as -60°F, and I'm curious about what Scout might do to ensure their vehicles can keep performing in these harsh conditions. While EVs aren't unheard of up here—I've seen a fair number of Rivians, Teslas (even the Cybertruck), and similar models—I'm happy to see that many of them have door handles designed to resist freezing when left out in the snow.
My main concern isn't necessarily the battery, as I trust that the engineers will ensure it remains within a safe operating range. However, one feature I'd love to see is the option for windshield wiper heaters built into the glass where the wipers rest, which would be incredibly useful during heavy snowfall. And while it might be a bit of a stretch, the ability to attach a snow plow would be a fantastic addition. I'd appreciate any insights from others who also deal with these extreme conditions.
