Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

  • 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.

Walmart's Plan To Blanket The US With The Walmart EV Charging Network​

Video on State of Charge channel:

The video says the rollout is planned to be complete by the end of the decade. If they can manage to do that, I think this will help a lot to answer people's concerns about range anxiety.

Finally a major chain read my mind. They will win big on this.

Is $.42/kwh comparable to super chargers, etc? I have no idea. Seems a touch high? Should have watched longer-they showed comparable chargers

AI generated answer...DCFC (Direct Current Fast Charging) rates for EV charging vary widely but generally average between $0.35 and $0.50 per kWh.

I checked PlugShare and there is an Electrify America fast charger in my area at $0.56 per kWh on a 350 kWh charger. A CircleK Charge is 0.43$/kWh on a 180kWh charger.

They do this in NJ where I was working near for a few years back. Never saw it more than 50% full.

So not too bad. Trying to get used to what it will cost to “fill up” when doing long road trips
 
Currently I’m getting just over 500 miles on the Accord hybrid (600 in summer) on a 12 gallon tank. At $3.40-ish/gallon I’m at roughly $42-45/fill up so on a road trip I’ll actually spend more than current but assuming charge at home will be cheaper. So for me I can claim convenience and earth saving as my advantages and realizing I’m going from a solid aerodynamically designed sedan to a brick on wheels.

Stellantis Validates Game-Changing Solid-State Battery After 'Production Hell'

Massachusetts-based battery startup Factorial is having a moment. After putting a Mercedes-Benz EQS with its solid-state tech on the road for testing, it’s now teamed up with Stellantis to announce a major milestone: successful validation of automotive-grade semi-solid-state battery cells.

This seems very promising! I do hope at some point they come up with an app that you can use for all chargers instead of having to have multiple different apps or use credit cards etc. Either that or have it so you can plug and charge on every different charger through the car.
