With reasonable driving (not accelerating or braking too hard and cruising at speed limits or occasionally going about 5 under) in my Bolt I can get 310 from 80%. EPA was 246 from 100%
EV reservation holders, would you consider the Harvester

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.
Yeah. GM just settled a federal/state lawsuit for selling vehicle data (location, behaviors) to brokers so they are off my list for… a while.
Of course, now GM is the only company /prohibited/ from selling data for five years, but that they did it in the first place points to some wrong-headed-ness when it comes to protecting consumers.
I don't think they did a good job marketing in total for both side now looking at it. Im seeing people on the inter-webs commenting that they wish it had a hybrid option. I think EREV was too complicated to show to the general public.
And I have nothing against the way Scout went about it. It felt very neutral. But there was times where I was like "wheres the EV marketing? since overall it is deep down an EV, no matter what you get Harvester or Not." But i don't know maybe it had to do with developing the platform since it was released at the Reveal and was new so they felt they needed to push EREV.

Decided long ago that 350 mile range was my cutoff. 450 would make me a LOT more comfortable. Not so much that I need 450 mile range, but I really want 350 miles of range, and don't want light towing (lawn mower or kayak trailer) or actual AT tires to put me much below that 350 miles. As it is, a 240 mile trip to paddle or mow might be pushing it - and honestly, I might want to take a nap with the AC before I drive home...
Hell, caught myself boat shopping again - as my bay boat will be a really hard tow with the Traveler. Not due to weight - but range. It might only be possible with 2 charges stops. 2 charge stops vs strait drive with my F250... How often would I take the Traveler. Not to mention if I need 2 charge stops - depending on the $/watt, it might not even be less expensive.

Fair thought, but it also depends on how long those stops are, if you're "full" charging at both, then it might be on the expensive side, but if you're just charging enough to get to the next one it might not be, not to mention uncontrollable environmental factors like weather and traffic
