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.
And the city that gave the permit would be reprimanded…
China is really running circles around us when it comes to EV infrastructure, its crazy.
Overhead chargers - guess they don't have many full sized trucks and offroad vehicles. Most of our parking garages are a tight fit for me vertically already.
This is a decade old at this point, but our NFL stadium converted their (the ones the team owns) open air parking lots to covered parking via solar panels. I could totally see overhead charging being added here as well, would be a great perk!
Having a progressive owner has its perks, despite being 25 years old they have the greenest stadium in the NFL and close to it for american sports overall!

Toyota and Lexus Introduce Treehouse to Simplify Customers' Home EV Charger Installation
Cost aside, I do not know why every parking lot in the USA does not have this. Lord knows we have enough parking lots. Besides the obvious electrical benefits, I would really like covered parking for weather reasons.This is a decade old at this point, but our NFL stadium converted their (the ones the team owns) open air parking lots to covered parking via solar panels.

I don't know why strip mall developers/real estate owners don't jump all over this. I haven't done the math, but I'm assuming they would easily generate the initial investment back by not only powering their buildings, but selling it back to the grid.
Yay for us!Also not sure if this was shared but big win for PA!
Pennsylvania unlocks $100M to install EV chargers in communities
Pennsylvania launches a $100 million NEVI plan to install public EV chargers in communities statewide, starting in the southeast.electrek.co
The red square is where the solar panels are (also on the entirety of two sides of the stadium where they get sun). Unfortunately the other lots are owned by a variety of different groups, but if the stadium/two covered lots are already generating enough electricity to send it back to the grid, imagine how much they could generate in these asphalt jungles.
This is a brilliant concept. Makes up for the people that try to damage or park in spaces they shouldn’t. This would be great for US municipal garagesEnclosed parking garages in China are getting overhead charging pods. No more hoping to find a space with a charging cable. Just park and order a charge pod to come to your parking space.
These Chinese robots ride ceiling rails to charge your EV
China is deploying overhead rail-mounted charging robots in parking garages that automatically travel to your car and plug in — eliminating the need to hunt for a charging spot.
I’ve said this for years and love seeing it on the few occasions it occurs. And it is revenue-generating albeit long term pay back but still just good for multiple reasons
At first I thought this was an open ended question then realized it was a statement
Scam.
The CEO is the same one who last year announced “the most advanced ai ever” and it turned out to be vaporware.
The claim of 400 Wh/kg is physically impossible for the chemistry claimed. And they didn’t even build their “5 kWh model” big enough to fit the required number of cells that sits next to it—they can’t even do basic volume calculations to get their scammy junk the right size.
The test only tested the easiest to meet claimed specifications (charge rate), and the cell that was tested didn’t meet all of the claims (it required more cooling than claimed). A NMC or LFP battery could make it through that test in the same way. And, in fact, the specifications of the cell are closer to NMC than the claimed solid-state chemistry.
It would also help with ICE vehicles too. They would stay cooler in the summer and require less energy usage to quickly cooling the cabin. It would be great for keeping rain and snow off as well. The underside could be well lit but be aimed down, instead of contributing to light pollution at night.
11C charging to full in less than 10 minutes without active thermal management is wild.
Looks like they are not as close to Vaporware as I thought.
More 3rd party validation to come.
Scaling will be the most critical step in making it a reality.
Looks like another validation test will be coming next week.
Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought they achieved faster charging speeds when they removed one of the cooling plates?
