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.
Hello all from So California.
I've been involved with EVs for about 18 years.
With the Green Power Program I drove a RAV EV, always solar charged.
110 mile range, expect 90 best be back on the charger by 70. Took 24 hours to charge.
We pulled into Baker Calif to fuel our Diesel truck some years back. The station had Tesla chargers and at the time I realized its going to go serious.
Our latest a EV6, almost always Solar charged at home and a few solar powered charging locations on the road as well.
The Toyota Rav EV Rep was a guy named Brad. Enthusiastic and motivated and terrific.
The Kia Dealer we bought from EV service rep,,, is Brad.
We'll always select EV vehicles to buy if available and will fit our needs.
The Scout looks sooo promising.

Yes. I still want to find that land fill that is 2 miles wide and stretches over the horizon, full of EV batteries that the opponents claim is out there.Welcome aboard. Keep sharing your EV insights. Helps educate the non-believers
Latest conversation was with a service writer friend from a local Audi Dealership.
Convinced his job is at stake.
I politely mentioned:
We have HUGE Tesla service center nearby with a half acre back log of car to fix. Look inside at the mechanics with cars torn apart parts scattered all over the place.
Local Kia dealer stop taking EV appointments. They''ll get back to you.
Our Chevy dealer had to train two more mechanics on EVs.
Instead of a gas tank ya have batteries.
Instead of an engine ya have up to 3 motors, that break.
Elect Motors with transmissions are next. Porsche has them on the road already.
Allison was talking up their EV truck motors with transmission to increase range.
Nothing to-worry about.
