  • 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.

    You've done ZERO research. googled anything, reviewed any spec sheets, done zero math.. Not one assertion have you proven incorrect with any sort of pertinent information., You've provided nothing. your just shit talking and it's lame af.

    again.. you haven't refuted any of the math. NTO is the newer chemistry that addresses the weakness of LTO. Its easy to market more miles flat range. Again look at the resale value of the Imieve LTO or NMC cars. Again. is this Truck for 5 years or 30 years. is it a Real work vehicle or a...

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

    very cool, apparently it doesn't make much torque though.. meant for sustained high speed instead of stop start.. also cooling nightmare, needs sustained high pressure ram air from cold air. apparently the cooling for a car would weight like another 100lbs. super cool for small regional jets.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    What's the oldest EV you own? how many miles, % use left of pack? 10+ year old vehicles.. anyone have 15 year old ? 2011 they seem to hit mass market right? what do you expect the value to be at 20-30 years? performance of battery? disposal fees? replacement costs? does anyone expect these to...

    Maybe they have incentives other than a better longer lasting vehicle that lasts 30 years..

    Have you googled one of your assumptions? You've yet to challenge any of my math or suggestions.. Any of my links.. You keep just agreeing with their Tax incentives. not a better vehicle. You are not a serious person..

    You have not given one reason why the chemistry is a bad idea. Again. you aren't serious. You are a fanboy.

    Lithium-titanate (LTO) batteries were used by Honda and Mitsubishi primarily in the early 2010s to mid-2010s for specific electric vehicle (EV) models, capitalizing on their fast-charging and long-life capabilities

    Are you a product developer? If so, what products have you helped bring to life? Have you ever overseen the transition of a 5000-seat hedge fund through three platform evolutions?

    Google search any of that.. Yes I did use gemini, and Claude to test math. But challenge the math.. Some reason you are dying on a hill for LFP for no reason. whatever dude.. its not going to happen because of tax credits.. I didn't know about 45x when I started this..

    My job in IT was product development, beta testing and holding engineers accountable. Fuel per KW produced LTO has been around in production since 2011, NTO is just a new related chemistry. You haven't challenged any of the actual math, you just keep trying to attack me you aren't a a...

    On NTO being too new: Fair concern for a 2027 launch. But the chemistry isn't prototype — Toshiba has been shipping sample cells since June 2025 and the predecessor LTO has been running commercial transit buses since 2011. Scout doesn't launch until 2027-2028. That's 2+ years of additional...

    What If the Harvester Shed 1,000 lbs and Got Better? The Case for LTO + EA211-ERV

    Realized something reading back through this thread. The engineering case for NTO + EA211-ERV is pretty solid. Nobody's really broken the math. The altitude argument stands. The cycle life argument stands. The weight argument stands. What won't allow it is Section 45X — $35 per kWh of...

    its not untested VW is using it Commercial Vehicles because it is soo much better.. it was NEW 3 years ago.. your saying same price for cells that last 1000 cycles vs 30,000 cycles.. batteries that you can use 100% not 80-20. can charge below freezing.. can store at 0v for 10 years. the 1/3...

    the EA211-evr can sustain the KW needed to pull a 7,000lb trailer, up 7% grade, above 7000ft at 70 mph without needing any battery.. they battery would be there for a pass to 80mph if needed or up to 10,000.. the point it the NA engine the Scout speced the EA211 NA can not perform like that...
