Most likely yes. I'm hoping Scout uses AGM or lithium-ion 12V batteries instead of the old lead-acid, that would help with longevity.

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.
Heck even my new Lincoln came with a AGM. With all the electronic features that are in even a none EV your vehicle can go into deep-sleep mode pretty easy. The manufactures are finally getting smart and using better batteries.
I agree. And I hope they don’t do what many manufacturers do which is go with a teeny-tiny battery. There’s a lot of monitoring and maintenance that the 12V battery needs to power while the vehicle isn’t being driven and it’s better to have 50-100Ah instead of the 10Ah (or whatever, I don’ tactually know the capacity on my Lightning/Mustang, but it’s ridiculously small). Ford is now having to rewrite its 12V monitoring software to do a better job of maintaining the 12V battery.
It’s not as bad as other EV manufacturers; there’s essentially no parasitic or vampiric drain on the high-voltage batteries in the Fords as compared with some other EVs.
I don't know about all EVs, but I can tell you that my 2020 Chevy Bolt has, more or less, an old-fashioned "e-brake" that is engaged via an electromechanical system (there is no parking/emergency brake lever).
Thanks for some good information.
Scout. “People. Connections. Community. Authenticity." Welcome to the Scout community. Enjoy the ride.
Remember the built in search on the forums is a great place to start getting answers to your many questions.
My wifes 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid has a small AGM battery in a very small compartment under the rear seat. Very size limited for an upgrade.
Glad to hear what the various EV’s offer. I had assumed it was something but had no idea how they worked from brand to brand
