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.
But Sheetz is better!You can thank PA for WaWa. Your welcome
They have awesome subs too
I have a lot of friends that will argue that. I go to Sheetz more often but I think food at Wawa is better
And nothing beats Wawa’s double Dutch chocolate milk
I prefer Sheetz cold selection of food but Wawas hot food is better. I always feel like Sheetz seems nicer and cleaner as well though.I have a lot of friends that will argue that. I go to Sheetz more often but I think food at Wawa is better

One of the great thing about the Rivian RAN chargers is that they are completely independent and have done a good job (at least in the Northeast) of locating them in excellent locations. For example, in Brattleboro VT, Rivian located their charging bank right off the exit adjacent to the VT Marketplace that sells all sorts of VT stuff, has a couple of restaurants and a bar & a food truck, as well as anything else you might need (all within walking distance of your truck): https://vermontmarket.com/. The RAN station in RI is located adjacent to a Chipotle, a Starbucks, a theatre and a TX Roadhouse I think.
Who knows, but maybe part of the Rivian relationship will eventually open up these independent Rivian charging locations to Scout vehicles too.

For the purposes of this EV based site I agree. Ironically they just announced this week that company size (revenue I suppose), Wawa is #22 and Sheetz is #31-ish.Let's even the score: https://www.sheetz.com/newsroom/art...-2-million-electric-vehicle-charging-sessions

Ultimately I like them both and this was a nice rabbit hole to fall down
. I have one of each equi-distant from my house and 9 times out of 10 I go to Sheetz. If I really want to stir the pot I’ll mention my daughter thinks Sheetz is way better than Buc-ees. No skin in the game as I’ve never been to Buc-ees but let that debate begin

Oh, we’re doing this? Then I’m throwing down Cumberland Farms for regional gas-and-convenience stakes. Their gas does not make your car backfire and their private label snacks aren’t gross. Only a few have EV chargers, though.
This thread is a perfect example of range anxiety when it meets the real world.
- You have it.
- You express it.
- People reassure you.
- Back-and-forth.

- Eventually it's forgotten for more interesting questions like which roadtrip store is better.
Snacks are just as important on a road trip as is charging!
We’ll-almost
I gotta say, I find it a little sad that all we have up here in the NE are crappy gas stations with mobile marts and 'Dunks, or we go to the Cumbies. Just really no comparison to the Sheetz's or the WaWa's of the world. Even a Maplefields or Caseys can't stack up!
SHHHHHHHH, they need to think we have something worthwhile here. We really don’t unless you count BJ’s as a convenient place to stop and get new tires, your propane tank refilled, a crappy couch with cup holders, eyeglasses, frozen shrimp, and a bag of avocados. Plus gas. Some have chargers.
