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.
The issue is physical capacity and weight. Until battery chemistry reaches next level this just doesn’t make sense for the cost, weight and space. The weight added offsets the gained mileage range so you end up spending a lot more money with very little/marginal gain.
Agreed (+ cost $$$ + longer charge times + being unnecessary) considering American driving habits & usage as a daily driver for many.
Also - 350 miles of pure-EV range will be super impressive for this beast.

Yeah, I would guess to get close to a 600 mile range EV for these kind of trucks, you'd be needing around a 270kW battery pack which would be very heavy and very expensive if it would even fit. I think the 350 mile range should be enough for most people day to day and with a fast charging curve it shouldn't matter too much for the occasional road trip. If that kind of mileage is more frequent, then that would be an ideal use case for the Harvester option.
