Harvester Battery Size

  • 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.

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have any info on how big the battery will be for the harvester model? It sounds like it'll be 150 miles on EV and 350 miles on the generator. Are we expecting to be in the 50Kwh range? You think higher, lower?

Coming from the support page:

While final specifications for the production models have not been released, we expect the capacity of the battery packs to be in the ranges below:

Full-electric models: 120-130 kWh
Harvester range extender models: 60-70 kWh

We’ll be sharing more details about battery sizes as we get closer to production. Stay tuned for updates.
 
Probably the BEV will have 120-130 kWh and the Harvester will have 60-70 kWh.

For practical application, you can also compare with existing options.

The 2025 Lightning has the following:

ModelBattery size (kWh)EPA Range (miles)EPA Driving Efficiency (miles/kWh)
Pro982402.45
Flash1233002.44
Extended Range1313202.45
Extended Range Platinum1313002.29

The Rivian has a lot of configurations with multiple motor options, so I’m just going to chose the 2026 dual motor options since that’s closest to the Scout Motors options. I’ll also choose only the 22” wheels, since those are the highest efficiency options.


ModelBattery size (kWh)EPA Range (miles)EPA Driving Efficiency (miles/kWh)
R1T Dual Standard 22” wheels962582.69
R1T Dual Large 22” wheels1103292.99
R1T Dual Max 22” wheels1404203.00

Note that these efficiency estimates do not include charging inefficiencies. They’re once you’ve filled the battery, how much range can you expect if you drive according to the EPA test models. Charging efficiency has a lot to do with the charger involved, the ambient temperatures, and etc., so it’s not so much about the vehicle and is more about the charger.

 
Hello everyone, aside from the size of battery, i'm talking Harvester model. I thought driving on gas will charge battery. Is this not true. I'm asking because getting a home charger is very pricey, especially the level 2 chargers. This will be my first hybrid vehicle, so be easy on me haha. Thanks

The Harvester ICE engine only charges the battery when driving and falling below a set SOC to extend your driving range. This is why a vehicle with Harvester is considered an Extended Range Electric Vehicle, EREV. However, there has been talk about Scout having a plan for charging the battery when static, like a camping mode. But, without output specifications on the harvester it is hard to tell how efficient it will be in this mode. I don't think it was Scouts intension for owners to forgo some form of external charging.

I’m sure others will have more detailed answers, but yes the gas engine will charge the battery.

Quick question, are you ever planning on charging by plugging in or are you wanting to treat this as a hybrid where you only charge the battery by getting gas?

As clarification SOC is State of Charge. I didnt know this when I started so just adding if you also don’t know

If you drive 12,000 local miles per year, you would break even in the first year by paying for a Level 2 charger installation, if you can afford to pony up the capital.
