I drove my first EV in about 2016. In 2018 I purchased my first EV. I have owned six electric vehicles, and four plug-in hybrids. I rent my vehicles on Turo and about 80% of my guests fly in to my home, Santa Fe, New Mexico. I constantly promote EV use and I do believe they are better vehicles. For my market I need an SUV or Jeep style with a minimum of 300 miles of rated range, all-wheel-drive, a heat pump to minimize winter time range loss, Tesla and CCS charger access. 170 kWh minimum charging speed. and very importantly, I need remote unlock ability, so I can park the car at the airport and unlock it from home. Of all my vehicles, only Volkswagen, your parent company does not have this ability. Each car I own is a brand ambassador for electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids. I currently have Tesla, Ford, Cadillac, Jeep, Mazda, Volkswagen and Toyota vehicles. Guests usually rent these for 3 to 7 days, and it gives them a real feel for the vehicle. Many of my guests have bought the same vehicle I rented to them,, and I feel like having a vehicle in my fleet results in about 50 test drives a year for that vehicle. I spent summers on a large ranch in West Texas driving international Harvester and scout vehicles as a teenager. I would love to partner with Scout Motors as a brand ambassador and help you sell a few vehicles. Here is an overview of my current vehicles:
