Can you provide a reference for this? That sounds more like competative FUD than something that Dodge would say.

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.

Check out the article in post #52. Dodge has a 91.8 kWh battery pack with 69.7 kWh is usable in providing 145 miles of EPA range. Also, check out this YouTube on how Dodge is using the hybrid powertrain. The extra 10%-20% battery kWh is used for reserve to maintain hp/tq/EPA close as it can to empty performance to give you the same in full cargo or tow mode.
We are learning this quickly with the new Lexus EV. But we also don’t do the 6-8 hour non-stop runs anymore so the stopping/taking break/eating (usually more than once) ends up being all but the same. The Hudson trip last weekend maybe added 15 minutes to a 4 hour trip when you factor in a meal break so I think we are already realizing it isn’t a huge impact-but I understand others want to do a 12 hour day. 20+ years ago I did that as well but not any more
This recent trip back home I wanted to stop just south of Fort Worth... but my wife insisted to keep going so we could sleep in our own beds that night, haha. That would have been a 12 hour drive if we'd stopped... It was 16 hours nearly to the minute. But yea, most of our stops are around the 20 minute mark by the time we get all situated back in the vehicle and everything... so I think it wouldn't be that much impact. Maybe 1-2 more stops in the whole grand scheme.
And to be fair, I'm talking Nebraska to Texas... going to SD adds a whole extra 6-7 hours or driving.
