We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

  • 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.
Well, I joined the EV club yesterday!

2023 F150 Lightning with 24k miles. Bought it in NH and took my two older daughters on a road trip to pick it up.

The dealer was only about 10 minutes from Hampton Beach, so we got up there a couple hours before the appointment to pick up the truck and we went to the beach for a while.

The dealer was about 160 miles from my house. He charged it to 100% before I picked it up. It was showing 324 miles of range. I got home with 78 miles left. I was doing the newbie thing and mashing the accelerator a number of times and driving at 75 on the highway, with what might have been a short burst up to 90 when a guy in a diesel wanted to race, so I take full responsibility for the not-so-great average of 1.9 miles per kWh.

I LOVE this truck! Scout is going to have to live up to our lofty expectations in order to pry this thing out of my hands. I'm sure they will, just saying.
Dose the the back rack slide front and back or is or just to protect the window in the cab?

Congrats on the new toy
