One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

  • 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.

Work moved us to Illinois 10 years ago. We are Native Californians. I told my husband yesterday in fact that I never thought I would live in a place with so much snow. 😹

Spent a month in Altadena for wildfire hazardous materials recovery, earlier this year. The scenery and landscape is absolutely beautiful. Even through the destruction you could tell how beautiful it once was and will be again.

She has a suit I got from a woman in Canada. When it gets below 20 the suit goes on. Below 40 she has a doggie jacket. She’s not a fan of the suit at all. 😹

Thank you for your service. I have a lot of friends and some family in Altadena. You did good and we appreciate it.

One man and his trusty shovel… Every time I feel like I don’t need to invest in a snow blower, Mother Nature reminds me to reconsider… ❄️😮‍💨

I recall a teaser image of a plow on a Scout… think I might splurge for that option…

I thought of that yesterday as we were shoveling and snow blowing 9 inches. We had to recharge our snowblower batteries halfway through!

In the 701 miles we’ve had the equinox it’s averaged 2.9 mi/kWh. This is in below normal temps with highs barely creeping above freezing and lows in the teens. I’m interested to see how it does as we get deeper into winter. If it holds above 2.5 mi/kWh through winter, I feel we may see above 3.5 mi/kWh come the warmer months.

You’ll like the Emporia equipment. It works and gives great metrics if you want to see your exact home charging performance over time (days/wks/months/years).

I will give you another web site to plug into and that is recurrentauto.com

It will track your battery health against other similar vehicles and show a few other metrics. Pretty cool.
