I'm a Terra reservation holder still waffling between the EREV and BEV. I started with an EREV reservation, switched to BEV, and am leaning back in the EREV direction again. I just watched Hank Green's video on the Ford F-150 Lightning strategy adjustment from BEV to EREV and while he's a big advocate for EVs, he was complimentary of the truck manufacturer trend to lean into EREVs.
Here's the video for the other nerds on the forum.
- BEV: I like the idea of BEV for simplicity of maintenance and full divorce from fossil fuels.
- EREV: On the EREV side, I like the idea of NOT lugging around the massive battery for my typical sub 50 miles per day use, and then leaning on the generator when range needs to be extended (yes I know the Scout EREV battery range is expected to be around 150 miles). I also don't plan on getting a package that is optimized for fuel efficiency, so lightening the vehicle a bit is advantageous.
