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.
We wanted to run that exact path (plus some driving south on the 15 from SLC) last year, but other obligations got in the way of that trip. We’re hoping to make a trip up along part of that path and then into the Rockies and into Canada later this year.
I'm sure a road tripping pro like you will have no issues.

My one takeaway from that route, is I would try to avoid the Electrify America chargers in Huntington Oregon next time. Really expensive ($0.64/kwh iirc), only 3 out of 4 were working, and not my favorite stop in general. So we skipped it on the way home.
 
Hi, what is the source for this map? My google-fu is failing me and I'd like to check it out more closely :)
Thanks :)
Oh, I forgot to respond to the second-half.
I don’t currently have a server providing this map for others to investigate, but if there was enough demand, it might be something I can put together. I haven’t done a lot of GIS web services work, so it might be a pain, but QGIS may provide some tools to make it easier to publish. I’m not sure. I haven’t investigated it in detail.

You need to figure out a way to monetize all of this.
