  • 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.

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    I doubt 10kw is enough to trickle a 20% or less battery, unless you want the engine run all the time which defy the purpose of EV: a clean and quiet ride.

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    Thank you Jamie. 1 thing I think that's important but many EV companies haven't figured out is how to smoothly deliver large torque for off-road. Electric motor, by nature, delivers max torque as speed 0 rpm. So other than trying to increase the torque at slow speed like in ICE vehicles, the...

    Tesla? Did you mean CT? It's not range extender, it's just an extra battery pack in bed

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    10kw is usually running power for house generator and it's way less than needed for EV, and size is too big

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    I kinda get it. Basically he was saying other than charging battery, to have separate bypass cable to drive electric motors directly from the power that RE generated. But I assume that will significantly complex the design. I'm not an engineer but just a thought 🤔

    Like that boost button on Ioniq 5N?😆

    They are not the first in REEV. China has already had mature REEV products from various brands. Even ram uses technology from Chinese Leap Motors.

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    No matter what they do, I think the key factor to consider is the user experience. It shouldn't force you to slow down from highway speed when needed due to the SOC of battery, while still having gas in tank. From the launch event, I think scout has mentioned about user experience several...

    You think I'm stupid not knowing that? Read my replies above. I've been driving BEV for some years and I know exactly how EV performed

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    Your name is ID EnG so I don't know if you own ID 4 or work on them. Ever seen one going in the turtle mode? And if you know ID, there's a power bar on display. It shortened as battery SOC drops. Your performance is definitely degrading, not as you said, "performance remains the same". And it's...

    That's where i3 put its gas motor, in the back

    Rotary? Need to carry extra bottle of engine oil in your EV. Lol

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    Stop sitting in your basement and imagining. Go out and drive one 🤣 As an owner of HEV and BEV, I can tell you when the battery charge level is low, the performance is definitely degrading. For most BEV, when battery SOC (state of charge) is low, it will go into turtle mode. TFL did test on i3...

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    Yes! It needs to at least be able to safely accelerate you to merge into a highway. I'm not talking about full battery performance, but it needs to be more than 130kw for this potentially 8k+ lbs vehicle on 35s

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    Of course it will. All the replies to me thinking I'm stupid and do not know what REEV is. But go check out i3 yourselves. If you have an underpowered engine that cannot even recharge your battery enough as you needed, the max power the battery out out would be equal (ideally) or less than...

    What are you driving until release?

    How many miles?

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    Whatever it is, please please make sure it's big enough to provide enough power to give it full performance on freeway. Please do not make it like BMW i3 which put an underpowered motorcycle engine that cannot even speed it up to highway speed.

    What are you driving until release?

    Oh yes, I just recalled that when I watch the 46 minutes full version of the launch event it did say the new Scout will be 800 volt system instead of 400 volt like MEB. If the REEV Harvester would also be 800V system, that'll be awesome. A lot faster charging than 400V system

    What are you driving until release?

    Have you thought about Ford Maverick? I have 2, and AWD and a hybrid. It has even more payload rating than my 13 f150
