  • 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.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    In the 701 miles we’ve had the equinox it’s averaged 2.9 mi/kWh. This is in below normal temps with highs barely creeping above freezing and lows in the teens. I’m interested to see how it does as we get deeper into winter. If it holds above 2.5 mi/kWh through winter, I feel we may see above 3.5...

    What age group are you?

    Some of the younger folks likely accompanied their parents to classic car shows and got the chance to see the cars their parents once longed for. Pontiac comes to mind for me. I can remember growing up in the midst of the restoration of a pre 70s GTO. Lots of good memories at car shows and...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    I had two queen yellow jackets attempt to hibernate just inside my shed doors… second year in a row… they got the spray right away. Just the price I pay for living in the sticks.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    The way the forum notification came through to my email made me chuckle… no context just your words… 😂 I figured it was about charging installations. I like the enclosure but I just know wasps would find it very homey, where I’m at…

    E-brake

    pretty sure that most auto manufacturers, over the past 5 years have switched over to electronically actuated parking brakes. Heck even 1-1.5 ton trucks are equipped with them now. There are different style EBPs though and the heavy duty vehicles may still use a drum style parking brake, it's...

    Lets just say that our northern brethren are much further along in electrification... Sometimes we have to purchase their wares for our vehicles!

    OEM Camper Shell

    I'll go a bit further down this road of an OEM camper shell. What if there were an option to incorporate some form of HVAC into the shell and also create a weather tight seal around the drop down rear glass? I have a reservation for a Traveler but if there were an option where I could have an...

    Current EV owners…are you staying BEV or switching to Harvester?

    That area is a 25 minute drive from me. Love the craft breweries that have sprung up in Houston/Canonsburg PA area.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    Was thinking along the same lines. I have sent them an email, fingers crossed! UPDATE! I need to brush up on my French... I completely missed États-Unis as an option in their country drop down menu... 🤦‍♂️ Got the cover ordered!

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    I found them this week! I really like their covers but I cannot see where they ship to the US any longer though :( my guess is the ongoing trade/tariff concerns have made them pause shipment to the US. If you know of a third party supplier that is shipping them stateside feel free to provide...

    Current EV owners…are you staying BEV or switching to Harvester?

    Thankfully the southwestern portion of PA isn't as impacted like Erie, Butler and Beaver counties are. I'm in the area of Greene, Washington and Westmoreland counties. We get snow but we tend to escape the lake affect snow bands.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    I will ask a question for those that have EVs and, store and charge them outside. How/what do you do to prevent precipitation from potentially freezing in the charging port?
