This is what I sent to Scout support:
I just do not understand why you would not place a 240 V outlet in the Traveler. You are placing a 240 V outlet in the pickup truck. I would think the batteries are comparable, the wiring systems as comparable, and the control systems are comparable on both vehicles. The minimal cost savings cannot be the justifiable reason to intentionally make the traveler inferior to the pickup truck.
It just appears to be a knee jerk, ridiculous, penny-pinching decision that auto companies always make. Don’t make a great product into a good product, a good product into an average product, an average product into a poor product; only makes a company go out of business. Don’t start Scout with this business plan.
I think you should reconsider this decision. It’s not as minor as you think.
This is what I received:
Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective so thoughtfully. We hear what you’re saying about the difference in outlets between the Traveler and the Terra, and we appreciate you calling it out.
At this stage, our current plan is:
Your feedback about the value of a 240V outlet in the Traveler is genuinely helpful. We’re actively listening to input from our community, and you’re welcome to share this directly with other owners and enthusiasts on the Scout Motors Forums: https://scoutmotors.community.forum/.
Please let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions.
If anyone feels that leaving out the 240 V outlet is important; I think you should let Scout Motors Inc. know. I think they are making a huge mistake.

At this stage, our current plan is:
- Traveler SUV: USB‑C and 120V outlets throughout the cabin and storage areas. [1]
- Terra pickup: Two 120V outlets and one 240V outlet in the pickup bed, intended for heavier tools or appliances.
