Which is not an option for rural areas where batteries are drained in 3 days of overcast weather, stranded on the highway in a snowstorm in Wyoming or Dakotas, after a hurricane when the power grid is knocked out, or at hunting camp for a week. If scout isnt trying to capture that market, then thats totally fine and im barking up the wrong tree. I was under the impression they wanted to convert or bring back people who used Scouts for being in the back country, not just those (in a completely non-derogatory way) who go glamping or end up at a place with charging every night. I think its a hell of a better option than the cybertruck and would love to see Scout prosper in whatever market theyre aiming for. Even if it ends up being not for me.
No - you have it wrong - Pure electric models offer up to 350 miles of range. Scout's extended range models offer 150 miles of range or more through a built-in, gas-powered generator.
Nope I am not wrong and I am not referring to the pure electric model.
If you were OK with the Harvester and not an electric only purist, Stellantis hasn't shut down their EREV program though they stupidly renamed it.
There are two reasons. One VW green lighted Scout investment during the resolution of their Dieselgate scandal. It was originally going to be electric only but they pivoted as public pushback in the USA and limitations of EV infrastructure was becoming clear. They would have never approved a diesel option at the time.
A 200 lb battery would have no bigger than 15 kw which is just a tinkle of juice when towing.
