  • 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.

    How will the scouts handle the extreme cold?

    Norway is long and skinny and has a lot more charging infrastructure even in rural areas.

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    You must be towing a small trailer. Towing anything large reduces range of ICE or EV 50%. So that 680 mile Ramcharger REV range fully topped up EV is really 350, and after a fill subsequent runs are 275 miles due to the depleted charger. At 70mph that's every four hours for a gas fill...

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    Yes, because 1. towing is very inconvenient given currently available charging infrastructure. 2. Ramcharger Rev sets 680M as a goal. You have to be competitive. 3. The whole point of range extension is range extension.

    The generator produces electricity. It doesn't necessarily go to the battery. It goes to where load is, be it the charge controller or the engine. This is how electrons work. People don't understand basic physics.

    I guess I'll get a Ramcharger REV then. This doesn't cut it.
