New route-finding application

  • 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.

A friend of mine has developed a new route-finding application for EVs. It’s still pretty new, so is still rough, but might be of interest.

I have no financial connection, just a personal one.

One of the interesting parts of the interface is that they give a numerical and visual representation of the possible reliability of the chargers on the route. That may be helpful to planning routes for people who are not familiar with the chargers they will be visiting.

Sounds like something I would need. When I pick up my Scout I’m going to need a direct line for help from you. I’m Really hoping to do a factory pick up and it’s a little scary never having driven an EV before, but I’m determined to do it!
 
One thing I think Scout Motors should do is have a one-on-one charging tutorial session with their customers. They should have a bank of different-brand chargers for users to plug into for 5 minutes so they go through the process of learning how to connect; which apps they need; etc.
I completely agree!

Or, do like I did and buy a used (or new) EV now so you have 3 years or so to learn about charging, range, regen braking, etc firsthand. Then you'll already be a pro when it comes time to pick up your Scout.

My husband said the same thing but the Wrangler is paid for, still under warranty and the insurance is cheap. I want to just keep saving for my Scout.
