Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

  • 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.
Didn’t know that. Have to check ours. I still hate going to Costco but now I could drop wife at door and just sit in car at charger to avoid the inside chaos 🤣
Our recently opened Costco has 4 DC fast chargers, with two large end-to-end parking spaces allocated for each charger. Looks like they might have thought about someone pulling a trailer.
 
Again personal bias, but the big thing for me is that Walmart said pull through chargers are part of the plan. Not all pull through, but at least some. Coming in, unhooking the trailer at the outskirts of the parking lot, then heading over to an EA charger in the middle would be a hassle.

Oh, and I just realized 3 1/2 hours later, are the EA chargers in a Walmart parking lot Level 2? The Walmart owned chargers will be DCFC capable of at least 400 kW. Level 2 is fine for local shopping days, DCFC is necessary for travel days. Actually I hope Walmart puts DCFC further out in the lot, less convenient for local shoppers with more room for pull through, plus plenty of Level 2 closer in for the locals. It could truly be a big step forward.
Can't say I have ever seen an EA station that was not a DCFC, but if I am going to stop at any EA it is for a fast charge, so I am filtering for DCFC.

Also, Rivian has some super nice pull-through charging stations in place (as part of their RAN network).

Thanks. I'm realizing my suggestion for a mix of Level 2 was ignorant bogosity. I was thinking of cost and total utility draw. I just looked it up and a typical Level 2 is 10-20 kW, an order of magnitude less than even a wimpy 150kW DCFC. I need to internalize that Level 2 is just for overnight trickle charging. Maybe Walmart's mix could be fewer 400 kW DCFC further out and more 150 kW DCFC closer in?
