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.
is there one you recommend? I'm still trying to figure out what to do as the clock ticks down on the tax credits. Found out today that our co-op also gives a rebate if you buy an EV and that we live in a federally defined low income area so we would qualify for $1000 credit on a level 2 charger (assuming that one is still usable)
I think ABRP is a good start for planning. I just don’t take it too literally. It helps to see some of your charging options. And it’s good to use to determine if your hoped-for-route will have the charging you need.
If I’m going to a new place a long distance (more than a day drive) away, I might also use Plugshare. It has a rudimentary route planning option, but I don’t use that. I just check to see if there are more than one charge option in the areas I might consider stopping.
Most of the time when we’re going for a drive that’s new but not more than a fill-up or two away, we just go. When it’s about time to start thinking about a stop, we ask Google or we ask the internal navigation app on the vehicle. If those don’t work, we pull up Electrify America or another app on our phones to look for chargers. We’ve never had trouble finding several chargers within easy range.
It is the polite thing to do.Fully charged I’m sure
I meant to add that abrp doesn't have a good way to set a daily drive limit or to add overnight L2 stops to charge to 100%. You can fudge it, but it won't do it automatically. So abrp can add hours to a longer road trip unnecessarily. It's fine for one day at a time planning and okay for longer overview mapping.
