  • 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.

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    This to a T! The point of the EREV is so that an electric drivetrain truck can do truck stuff without the penalties of being a full BEV. If Scout has to derate the towing capacity of the EREV then they will have missed the mark and the EREV will be a flop.

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    Ooops, I didn’t realize folks wanted to be surprised. I don’t have enough hours in the day to read all the idle chatter posts. So if I posted a pic of the thank you note from Scott and the outer envelope….that would be bad? .

    Help me decide BEV or EREV

    Interesting that the results of the same poll question on the other forum are very different.

    Help me decide BEV or EREV

    If the vehicle is going to be your only option the go EREV If you have other ICE vehicles at your disposal then go BEV

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

    We went all BEV in late 2021. We went back to one ICE vehicle recently because we weren’t comfortable being full BEV in a very rural area that gets significantly cold for a good part of the year, the downfalls of a BEV can at times be limiting and a PIA to deal with. So, yes we have choices...

    2026 Lightship vs Pebble Flow All Electric Trailers

    The top spec lightship comes with a WDH. Pebble says you don’t need a WDH, some people are using one anyway. No information on the Evotrex and a WDH Lightship and Pebble both say that the trailer’s propulsion system can control sway. All of them say that the tow vehicle must be able to to...

    Are you OK with Scout vehicles starting under $60K?

    50% depreciation in 2 years for a BEV is not uncommon

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

    Here’s a real world example of dealing with an BEV and why EREVs make it much better. I had to take one of my hounds to the specialist vet in the nearest large city, 200 miles one way, 140 back road miles, 60 interstate. 8 am appt, so I’m leaving at 4:30, it’s 5f and not going to get over 20f...

    Possible competition?

    Scout was announced in 2022 as an off-road EV company, no mention of the EREV until the reveal in Oct 2024…so you’re not wrong…the EREV was a surprise at the reveal

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

    This might be splitting hairs but the poll in the link gives the option of “plug in hybrid” as a replacement of an EV and I don’t consider a EREV plug in hybrid (Harvester) to be the same as current “plug in hybrids” and there are no current offerings for a plug in hybrid truck. We owned a...

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

    Current EV owners, are you planning to buy the BEV or the Harvester? And if you care to share, what’s your current EV and use case and what are your reasons for staying EV or switching to EREV. Please only vote if you are already drive an EV.

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    Spot on! Except I need 10K towing from the EREV or it’s a no go for me. We’ve been all EV since early 2022, Mach-e and Ioniq5. Fully aware of the EV downfalls, esp in rural Maine. Just sold the Mach-e and bought a gas F250 because -I don’t think Scout is going to deliver on the 10K towing...

    Making a Left Hand Turn

    The Harbinger Motors EREV chassis that the motorhome is built on uses a 1.5l gas engine. I can't find it at the moment but I read somewhere that the generator is ~45-50 kW at 800V. They are expecting ~ 1mi/kWh consumption for any of the medium duty applications for the chassis...

    Making a Left Hand Turn

    A little short on the EREV details and heavy on the RV aspect

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Thanks for the kind words. We saved for a long time and it was a lot of work. One thing about having a nice shop is you no longer have an excuse to not get things done. The roof is 10* off from N/S in anticipation of adding some more solar panels. Our house roof is maxed out with panels and...

    - Level 2+ Mobile Generator: Unlocking Full Harvester Potential

    Harvester specs are not known yet and I’m not sure if you’re trying to suggest that the Harvester generator will only be 17kW but that seems awfully weak. Most are speculating it will be in the 75-100 kw range.

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    The don’t go over 80% or under 20% guideline is way overblown. What you don’t want to do is go over 90% or under 10% and stay there. Charging to 100% right before using the vehicle is really no big deal and going below 10% is no big deal as long as you can plug in when you stop. In addition...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Built this in 23, 40x36 with a 14’ lean to, 10x12 doors, natural rough sawn board and batten hemlock. Bay 1 is my wife’s Mach-e, bay 2 my Ioniq5, bay 3 is for the tractor. Maybe a Terra in the middle bay someday. Should be able to fit a 30 foot camper across the back, hence the 12 foot doors.

    Scout Spotters: Post your online finds here

    Yeah, I’ve been meaning to stop in and look at it and see what the story is on it, but it’s nothing I’d ever buy, they’ve had it for at least 6 months.
