There’s nothing typical about this year or this administration. And even if the administration changes may not typically change how much is awarded, they definitely change what it’s awarded to.

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.

Connecticut puts EV chargers at the DMV – finally, a perk
Connecticut has installed 36 Level 2 EV chargers at DMV offices, so drivers can now charge while waiting for licenses and registrations.

Coming from California that would have been helpful. Illinois is not nearly as crowded. Ha!Here's an article bound to elicit a chuckle...

NJ wishes we could get that. Issue is that our DMVs are in strip malls with smoke shops and sketchy people, unless you are getting an Inspection then they are near Car Dealerships. And somehow we manage to care for our citizens lol!Here's an article bound to elicit a chuckle...

I once went to the (AZ) DMV, pulled a number from the little red dispenser, observed the most recent numbers called and then… went to lunch, ran an errand, and went back to the DMV. I walked in and they called my number a minute later. Best DMV visit ever.
I’m skeptical that they’re ready to produce, but I hope I’m just being pessimistic and they really are getting there.
In California the DMV is so crowded you usually have to stand in line outside to get in to stand in line again.
Yes but what is the energy density/Kg? Isn’t that the only real measure here? If someone can show me a 1kWh/Kg energy density… then I’ll be impressed.
VW group finally realized that screen only infotainment systems are not the future for most buyers. They're bring back buttons.
Had Volkswagen removed the steering wheel audio and separate volume controls of all passed vehicle? This article seems to outline these rudimentary elements most manufacturer's are still offering in vehicles. To be clear more physical buttons make for a better balanced interface and user experience.
Don't believe they had removed steering wheel controls. VW like many others had removed buttons from there center stack infotainment systems and placed the functions on the screen. Things like radio and HVAC functions were now taking place on a screen and not using buttons or knobs.
Wow. Got lucky and timed that perfectly
VW never removed steering wheel controls, but haptics replaced the steering wheel buttons in some cars. The GTI has already switched back to buttons from haptics. A complaint in the Golf is a haptic dash volume slider control that isn't backlit.
When you say "haptics" are you referring to capacitive buttons with haptic feedback? I don't mind haptic feedback on buttons. Just those capacitive steering wheel buttons are the worst.
My son calls them hot trash.
I prefer legit buttons. When I’m dodging Amish buggies on the back roads I like to keep eyes on road as much as possible and physical buttons help. I do hope it has a solid voice prompt system as well as then I don’t need to reach for much at all
Good idea, level 2 will be all you need there. Arrive with 1% and by the time you’re done in the DMV it’ll be nearly at 100%.Here's an article bound to elicit a chuckle...

That was a MUCH funnier joke if I was still living in Michigan, you definitely needed to pack a lunch. HowEVer, the DMV here in Venice is run like a well oiled machine. Make an appointment online, they also take walk-ins and you walk right in passed a walk-in line if there is one and have a seat. The most I have ever waited was less that 10 minutes.
I wish i could say that about NJ. But sadly the people that are in control don't care to invest in the DMV system.
