I don’t know if there was any “new” information there though, but agree it was a good watch.
Actually, only thing that seemed new to me was talking about how the side markers would have plastic moulding formed to fit the lights into.

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.

Nissan introducing an EREV for the Rogue. Interesting to note a test engineer says no plug, so only source of power is gas.

Nissan’s new hybrid is a U.S.-first that mixes EV driving with a gas engine
Nissan plans to introduce a new type of hybrid for the U.S. market that drives like an all-electric vehicle but is powered by a traditional gas-powered engine.
Why would they make it an EREV with no plug in? That doesn’t seem nearly as efficient.Nissan introducing an EREV for the Rogue. Interesting to note a test engineer says no plug, so only source of power is gas.

Is it even an EREV at that point, sounds more like a long range hybridNissan introducing an EREV for the Rogue. Interesting to note a test engineer says no plug, so only source of power is gas.

That was the only thing I heard and that had been mentioned somewhere already here on the forum. I just thought they did a good coverage piece and as a designer I enjoy hearing Mr Benjamin speak about the vehicles. Granted design is subjective but hearing his thoughts on the design approach should help people understand why various things were done-whether they agree doesn’t matter but hearing it makes the design even more intentional in my mind

I realize EREV isn’t new technology but it’s funny that ever since SM announced it now everyone is talking about going EREV. SCOUTS LEAD THE WAY!
Honestly, not really sure. I definitely thought that was the most interesting choice. It can’t be as efficient on the electric front, but I would guess tha it’s probably still going to be a 45-55 mpg small SUV, which itself is pretty significant.
Weird to think Nissan has been doing it in Japan since 2016 apparently.
i mean, it still functions like one minus that one step I guess. I’d say it qualifies.
Ohh for sure, wasn’t trying to cast any shade at all. It was interesting enough for me to watch the entire thing, just more or less making sure I hadn’t missed anything.
One thing was the last guy the interviewed seemed to think the EREV setup could be less expensive. I think TFL had mentioned that idea in a video as well, which is interesting because it seems to be contrary to what people are thinking on here.
But I think you lose the entire EV market who doesn’t want to deal with gas’s on a regular basis
I suspect it will be equal or less cost but the R&D and the side track effort to change and redirect needs paid for. That’s a lot of extra engineers to bring on to figure it out. And they want to hold $60K start price so they have to cover that overhead and R&D so I suspect it will still be a premium but where the price lands is the question. Do they make it $1500 or $5500? That’s the question at hand.
To be clear, there were several EREV series plugin hybrids in the US before Scout's resurrection was even announced.
BMW i3 REx, Chevy Volt, Fisher Karma, Cadillac ELR, and others.
Correct-but it seems like SM’s announcement suddenly propelled a lot of companies to start making announcements. Just a lot more conversation about it this past year.
Most of which were lower than mass production, Conceptish vehicles. That we're trying to get a concept across.
I think it's more likely that, under the current political climate, there is much less incentive for manufacturers to pursue BEVs in certain markets. It ought to be clear to everyone now that the full-size BEV truck and SUVs have been a flop for any number of reasons. Now, with an administration that is somewhere between ambivalent and hostile to EVs; ending subsidies, cancelling tax incentives, etc., there's no reason for manufacturers to want to focus on BEV first anymore.
Depends on how long gas prices keep rising and how high they go. That’s a factor to be considered at the moment.
Completely agree. But it funny everyone is jumping to EREV and not just going ICE and that is interesting to me. Is this a temporary stall in a major industry shift? Manufacturers essentially have no responsibility to do any improved ranges due to the admin rolling back any/every effort to be more environmentally friendly but yet manufacturers aren’t going the whole way backwards so curious how things pan out over next few years
Im seeing trends with my secret data that EVs, Hybrids, etc. are starting to sell better again now with gas rising. It's all about the market and how it adapts. Obviously yeah sales went down with no incentives. But people will buy what fits them. And the gas prices fluctuating massively these past weeks. Yeah EVs are gonna sell. But question now is how long until energy prices rise?
Then were gonna see people riding bikes again maybe even horse n' buggy, or what i call "J Alynn Style"
