Will Scouts be Plug&Charge Compatible

  • 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.
You talking about V2L or V2H?
Plug & Charge is a feature that allows electric vehicles to automatically identify and authorize themselves at compatible charging stations, enabling secure and convenient charging without requiring additional actions from the driver beyond plugging in the charging cable. This system is part of the ISO 15118 standard for vehicle-to-grid communication.

Ahh got you! I have no clue if they have confirmed that in the past.
 
Sadly its not. I believe manufacturers have contact Tesla. Before the manufacture can use it on their vehicles. Even with CCS.
After doing a little more research I have found that Plug&Charge is compatible with certain electric vehicles that have the necessary software updates and charging stations that support this technology. Currently, Electrify America & EV Connect chargers in the US and IONITY charging stations in the EU are equipped for Plug&Charge, allowing for a seamless charging experience without the need for payment cards or apps.

Plug and charge is not really related to Tesla, you can do plug and charge on any network that supports it, with a vehicle that supports it, eg fords on ea. Even having NACS does not mean anything about Tesla as everyone is moving to that standard. The only thing that requires interaction with Tesla is if you want to charge at a Tesla charger. The way things are going, by the time we have a lot of scouts on the road, that won’t be very important anyway. Better off charging at a charger with 800v support.
