Big battery deal in the works. Hopefully they get this locked down before the mid-terms. Political headwinds could complicate this quickly.

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.
Great article looks very promising. Especially the part about building the battery plant in SC near Scouts assembly plant. I am a bit skeptical about Mobis meeting job-one numbers though. "The supply of battery system assemblies [BSA] to Scout Motors is scheduled to start in early 2028,”
This also makes sense because Hyundai's US EV factory is outside Savannah. Not next-door-close, but close enough to aid in their own supply logistics.
Hi @Jamie@ScoutMotors. We have an article alert. Any truth to this before we all run with this info? Thanks!
Hyundai Mobis is an OEM under the Hyundai Corporate conglomerate. It could very well be a deal to use them as a battery manufacturer with Scout's branding, without any involvement from Hyundai's automobile division.
Edit- On further digging, Hyundai Mobis is a part of their automotive division, but they are primarily an OEM supplier.

Is Jamie a Chicago Bears fan? Perhaps he's still numb from Sunday.
Sad to report that it was 34 degrees this morning in Venice.
Coldest in the years we have been in South west Florida.
Oh stop that’s a heatwave here. It felt like -18 with the wind when I got up this morning It was painfully cold.Sad to report that it was 34 degrees this morning in Venice.
It’s actually just Hell freezing overSad to report that it was 34 degrees this morning in Venice.
Well we do live in a hell-of-a nice state. So maybe.It’s actually just Hell freezing over
Hyundai is a Huge Mega Vertical Integration Corporation. They have a lot of companies. From Truck Trailers to Shipping Containers to Cars to Steel to Pretty much anything a car company can vertical integrate to lower costs.
BSA; An integrated unit from Hyundai Mobis containing the battery pack, Battery Management System (BMS), cooling, and electronics, designed for high-performance EVs.
What I know is that Hyundai uses LG Energy Solutions and SK On both have factories here in the USA. And they also have 800v architecture. A huge part Scout needs to avoid the tariffs. Since I believe most EVs in the US use American Made Batteries. PowerCo is probably too far away for Scout to start production anywhere close to there late 2027 start that they want.
How much snow did you get yesterday? I got a dusting by me, but it turned into ice from the rain that happened a few hours before it snowed.It’s actually just Hell freezing over
I’m guessing about 4” between Saturday early am and Sunday am.
We aren’t getting any snow to speak of, but man it’s stupid cold.
