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.

We wont, they have their own solution, the EV equipment will be far cheaper to run and maintain. It's brilliant!
I read that the Case is using J1772 for the 580
But good to know that there is job site solutions. I wonder if the 580 will be for residential type stuff like plowing.

Yeah I think most if not all the off-road heavy equipment will use the J1772 mainly because of how many manufacturers are global. Alex from OOO Bits did a good video on this recently. I think the EV adoption in this space makes total sense and surely with the instant torque and power available from electrification the machines will be able to complete any tasks its designed to do.
580 model number has been around a long time. It is your bread and butter size when you think of a TLB (tractor loader backhoe) aka backhoe. They are a jack of all trades machine. Being in the industry, I think you may only see these in California for while to come.
We loved our Ascent (was the first one to roll off the lot in our area when they launched) but the dealer left a bad taste in our mouth over the years (my crosstrek is from there, the Ascent is long gone but I persist...)
Happy to be out of warranty to not have a reason to go back to them.

I really hope this isn't the case. Electrification seems like such a cleaner, better solution all around and I would hope more states and companies would lean more into the adoption.
Many leaders in places refuse to believe in climate change, or just simply understand that air pollution ruins everyone’s health. I know a few years ago the utility commission lead in Alabama wanted to ban “eco-libs” so they couldn’t have any say in anything as the believed in climate science and a push for renewable energy. But that was years ago no clue what’s happening there now
But think of the value we can generate for shareholders...
Cost is the true road block I think, well that and I think the majority of companies and or operators in that industry to adopt EV ownership easily. In fact, most of those companies aren't going to think proactively and instead are typically reactive only purchasing new equipment when there is an absolute need to. They will spend X amount of dollars per year keeping their dinosaur burners barely chugging along rather than pulling the pain forward and buying the latest greatest tech that will absolutely save them money.
I cannot answer that very well at this point. The reason is that neither Kubota or Hitachi have EV models available for sale in the USA. They do in other parts of the world. They have shown concepts and prototypes at many shows and meetings. But, there are not official numbers to give price comparisons in the USA. However, there is some data out there that the prices are about 30% more for the comparable electric models. Take that with a grain of salt though as there are so many factors that have to go in like tariffs, incentives (both government and manufacturer), world region pricing differences, shipping, etc.
Welcome to the community. The best person to follow to keep up with where the will be is @Jamie@ScoutMotors he posts when they will be somewhere.
They will be in Arizona in April. I have seen them twice and highly recommend it even if it’s a bit of a drive. Welcome again!
When is the next East Coast opportunity? @Jamie@ScoutMotors will any vehicles be at the New York Auto Show in April by any chance?Welcome to the community. The best person to follow to keep up with where the will be is @Jamie@ScoutMotors he posts when they will be somewhere.

I thought Jamie said in an earlier post that they were looking at different events this year, no auto shows.
Welcome to the community and thanks for posting.
Reuters: Volkswagen recalls nearly 100,000 EVs over battery issues
This article has me wondering who supplies batteries for VW, and who will supply SM with batteries. Anyone know?
Saw another comment on here about the 12/16V batteries failing regularly on other EVs. That would suck to have such a simple reliability problem! I hope all the electrics can be well-engineered so they are extremely reliable.
