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.
I wish Love’s truck stops would get them. They have the cleanest bathrooms.
I would have to take a multi-day road trip to even find one. I think the closest is 9 hours one way.
They are building them out.I wish Love’s truck stops would get them. They have the cleanest bathrooms.
EV Charging
Love’s has been in the EV charging business since 2017 and we continue to build out our nationwide charging networking.

Excellent! If they had chargers I think my husband would be more onboard with the BEV.
9 hours to get there, an hour to enjoy the experience, 9 hours to get back, that’s 19 hours. Just one day, right?
It’s funny you say that. I was just thinking most Loves also have an attached McD’s or subway, etc. so why not flip the script and have McDS add elect chargers to their lots. So many opportunities for off ramp heavy restaurants to capitalize on extra income both from charging and people stopping their to eat while they chargeI wish Love’s truck stops would get them.

So are Pilot/Flying J
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Across the Country
Recharge your electric vehicle with EV charging at Pilot Flying J. Find an electric vehicle charging station near me or a CCS charger. Use an EV charger today!
I don't think McD's has thought that much into the future. All the new and remodeled McD's here in Florida have about a quarter of the indoor seating they once had. If they started supporting EV charging the new buildings will not be able to handle the crowds.
Good point. Seem to be going to call ahead and drive through. Sad that as a society we don’t take the time to have proper meals
Personally I prefer not to eat in the vehicle, and I prefer local eateries.
I am a real stickler about this. No food or drink is consumed In my vehicle, with the exception of water. My wife and our daughter when she visits think I am nuts. But, they like the nice sit-down restaurants I pick; so it's a wash. I have a very clean vehicle they get better food. win win.
I’m onboard with that as well. 10 years of archery tournament travel and we did the same. Our daughter would pick -and it couldn’t be chain unless options just sucked otherwise-which they did sometimes-and we’d stop to sit and eat and refresh. Now she’s 20 and does a lot of the drivi n legs but still gets to pick the spots-unless we find something first before her and she thinks it sounds good
With the exception of a couple micro Buckees - every one I have gone to has had a bunch of Tesla chargers. Last year they were adding additional with gen 4 cabinets at most and some were also an adding a bank of Mercedes chargers as well. Gen 4 cabinets are 800v capable, but don't have the 800v back end to support them yet - I think the Mercedes were 800v.
I drove from Central Texas to Palm Beach before Christmas - I had to fill up one time at a non-Buckees (and only because I skipped filling up at Baytown because I had filled up in Katy - but would have still been close to a 500 mile gap). I think 2 more were under construction in that gap-so it will be easy to do San Antonio to Palm Beach by now.

That's half the fun. I am a man of few words while driving. Focusing on the task at hand. We love spending time chatting and having a long meal break.I’m onboard with that as well. 10 years of archery tournament travel and we did the same.

they are building one on the west side of town from my house. Once it opens, I don't plan on trying to go that direction on the highway for a couple of months at least. I will take the backroads if I need to go that way for sure!
My wife likes them because they always have clean restrooms, and at least 20 stalls with little to no wait.
Driving is a privilege one must take seriously.
This is an interesting way to use some ICE we will no longer need once EV is the norm.
