Was thinking the same thing. I’d be trading my accord and I get 44 avg annually so I’d actually be going backwards 30% going to the Scout. Which-hey, my wife’s Pilot get about 21-22 so still double her SUV but for me it would be reverse.
Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

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 does efficiency vary between the NMC BEV pack and the LFP EREV pack in a general sense? Similar overall?
Semi-related, but I haven't paid attention to this if it's been mentioned in the past- I assume the LFP discharge rate is lower than NMC, hence the slower 0-60 times for the EREV model?
LFP isn't going to dramatically change the range/efficiency for the same battery capacity in most normal driving. Temperature can have a different impact on the two different chemistries.
NMC will perform better for both range and acceleration in the very cold (-20 ⁰C or colder).
LFP generally has more cycles in its lifetime.
NMC and LFP can both charge at about the same rate (1C plus or minus). LFP is a little better at higher discharge rates.
BUT the cycle lifetime that battery manufacturers talk about is so high (30+years, 750k+ miles) that you could probably double the charge rate without meaningfully impacting the vehicle lifetime if the vehicle manufacturers build good active thermal management.
That alone is enough for me to keep with BEV, not even counting the extra maintenance on the Harvester. I'm probably going to be doing 20k miles a year when I get mine so that will add up to some decent cost savings.
