You’re lying in bed scrolling through Scout forums again, deposit receipt glowing on your phone. That refund button is right there. But here’s the thing eating at you: will 350 miles actually be enough when you’re towing your camper three hours into nowhere, where the nearest charger is a rumor and your brother-in-law’s smirk at Thanksgiving 2027 is already forming?
I get it. Every article tosses you glossy numbers but skips the part where you’re white-knuckling it on a mountain pass, watching that battery percentage drop faster than your confidence. You’re not chasing a spec sheet. You’re buying freedom from that knot in your stomach.
Here’s what we’re doing today. We’re cutting through the “up to 350 miles” marketing fog and the “coming soon in 2027” haze to figure out what Scout’s range actually means for your Tuesday commute and your Saturday adventures. Not someone else’s life. Yours.
Keynote: Scout EV Range
Scout Motors offers dual powertrain strategies for 2027: a pure electric variant with 350-mile EPA range from 120-130 kWh NMC batteries, and the innovative Harvester EREV delivering 500+ total miles by combining a 60-70 kWh LFP battery with a naturally aspirated gas generator. Both configurations feature 800-volt architecture supporting 350 kW DC fast charging and native NACS compatibility for Tesla Supercharger access.
The Two Scouts You Need to Understand
The Pure Electric Promise: 350 Miles of Clean Confidence
Imagine this. Silent mornings backing out of your driveway with nothing but electric torque pushing you forward. Zero gas stations. Ever. That’s the pure electric Scout Traveler SUV and Terra truck experience, both targeting 350 miles per charge from their massive 120-130 kWh battery pack using high-density nickel manganese cobalt chemistry.
This thing rockets from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Faster than the hybrid version. Let that sink in for a moment.
It’s the “I believe in electrons” choice for the committed. The folks who want maximum performance, simpler maintenance, and the satisfaction of never contributing another dollar to Big Oil. Scout’s 800-volt architecture means you’re not just buying a truck. You’re buying into the future of electric capability with body-on-frame durability that traditional EVs can’t touch.
The Harvester Safety Net: 500+ Miles with a Backup Plan
Here’s where things get interesting. Over 80% of Scout reservations include the Harvester range extender. That’s not a typo. Four out of five buyers are choosing the hybrid option.
The Harvester delivers 150 miles of pure electric range, then taps into a small four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine that charges the battery without ever touching the wheels directly. Add the 350 miles from the gas generator, and you’ve got 500+ total miles of capability. The 15-gallon fuel tank theoretically extends your range to 1,300+ miles between charging sessions if you keep topping off the generator.
You’re trading some acceleration. The Harvester hits 60 mph in 4.5 seconds instead of 3.5. Still quick enough to embarrass most vehicles at the stoplight, but it’s slower. That’s the price of peace of mind.
Why That 80% Number Should Tell You Everything
Let me be honest with you. Buyers are voting with their wallets, and they’re saying they’re not quite ready to trust electrons alone for remote adventures and serious towing.
This isn’t about being anti-EV. It’s about eliminating those “what if” scenarios that keep you up at 3 a.m. Range anxiety doubles when you factor in off-road adventures where the nearest Level 2 charger might be a three-hour drive in the wrong direction. The towing crowd especially needs the confidence that comes from knowing they can refuel in five minutes at any gas station instead of hunting for working DC fast chargers while hauling a 25-foot camper.
The Harvester represents Scout Motors acknowledging a fundamental truth: the charging infrastructure in rural America and remote overlanding destinations won’t catch up to urban networks by 2027. Maybe by 2030. Maybe.
What “350 Miles” Actually Means When You Leave the Driveway
The Real-World Efficiency Nobody Advertises
Scout promises 350 miles. What you’ll actually see is different, and you deserve to know the truth before you hand over your money.
Based on current Rivian R1T owner data, real-world efficiency for electric trucks hovers around 2.0-2.2 miles per kWh in mixed driving conditions. According to EPA combined cycle testing standards, Scout’s body-on-frame architecture and available 35-inch all-terrain tires suggest efficiency between 2.0-2.2 miles per kWh, which means that glossy 350-mile EPA range rating becomes 250-280 miles when you’re actually driving to work, hauling gear, and not hypermiling like your life depends on it. Highway speeds above 70 mph burn electrons exponentially faster because of aerodynamic drag.
Scout’s body-on-frame construction and those chunky 35-inch all-terrain tire options trade some efficiency for soul and capability. You’re not buying a Tesla Model 3. You’re buying a legitimate off-road machine that can also happen to accelerate like a supercar. That capability costs range.
Temperature: Your Invisible Range Thief
Think of your battery like a bank account that mysteriously shrinks every winter. Cold weather reality slashes electric range by 15-30% depending on how brutal your winters get.
That 150-mile Harvester electric range? Expect about 95-105 miles in single-digit temperatures. The pure EV’s 350-mile target drops to roughly 245-280 miles. Heat pumps and battery preconditioning soften the penalty, but they don’t eliminate it. You’re still fighting physics.
Hot summers nibble away at range too, just less dramatically. Running the air conditioning in Phoenix heat might cost you 5-10%, while heating the cabin in Minnesota winters can eat 25-30% of your total capacity. This is why that Harvester backup generator starts looking awfully attractive if you live anywhere north of Tennessee.
The Towing Math That Changes Everything
Let’s talk about the elephant hitched to your truck. Plan for losing half your range when hauling typical trailer loads. Not 20%. Not 30%. Half.
One Ford F-150 Lightning owner I know averaged 0.7-0.9 miles per kWh when towing his boat to the lake. That’s brutal. Out of Spec Reviews tested the Rivian R1T with enclosed trailers and watched range drop by 55% compared to unladen highway driving.
Do the math for Scout. That 350-mile pure EV range becomes 175 miles realistically when you’re pulling 7,000-8,000 pounds. Maybe you squeeze out 200 miles if your trailer is aerodynamic and you’re disciplined about speed. The Scout Terra’s 10,000-pound towing capacity yields approximately 175 miles of range when maxed out, possibly less with poor trailer aerodynamics.
Here’s where Harvester changes the game. Instead of a 45-minute charging stop halfway through your trip, you refill the generator in five minutes and keep rolling. That 500+ mile total range under load becomes 250-300 miles, which gets you to most destinations without the anxiety spiral.
Weight matters less than you think. Aerodynamics matter more than you’d believe. A flat-fronted cargo trailer acts like a parachute, destroying your efficiency even if it’s not particularly heavy.
Off-Road Reality: Slow Speed is Actually Your Friend
Here’s something counter-intuitive that’ll surprise you. EVs are incredibly efficient at low speeds on technical trails. Crawling over rocks at 3 mph barely touches your battery compared to highway cruising at 75.
Regenerative braking works wonders coming down mountains, actually giving energy back to your battery pack. I’ve seen electric trucks regain 10-15% of their charge descending long grades that would cook the brakes on traditional vehicles. It’s like a free energy bonus for choosing the scenic route.
Spinning tires in sand or mud does drain faster. Budget an extra 15-30% buffer if you’re planning serious off-road adventures in soft terrain. Scout’s solid rear axle design prioritizes getting there in one piece over getting there efficiently, which is exactly the right call for a vehicle with International Harvester heritage.
The Harvester Decision: Insurance Policy or Compromise?
What You Gain with the Range Extender
There’s an emotional relief that comes with the Harvester that pure data can’t capture. It’s that “I’ll be fine” feeling when you’re three hours from civilization and your battery shows 40%.
Gas is ridiculously easy to carry in jerry cans for truly remote off-grid adventures. Try that with electrons. Scout’s confirmed three driving modes adapt to your needs: EV-priority mode for daily commuting, hybrid mode for long trips, and heavy-duty tow mode when you’re maxing out that 10,000-pound capacity.
This is mental peace for the recovering gas addict who isn’t quite ready to fully commit to the EV lifestyle. And there’s a boondocking bonus nobody talks about. The Harvester becomes a potential campsite power source when you’re miles from RV hookups, running your fridges and lights without idling a noisy generator.
The Trade-Offs They Don’t Shout About
Nothing comes free. Here’s what the Harvester costs you beyond the price tag:
| You’re Getting | You’re Giving Up |
|---|---|
| 500+ total mile range | Performance (4.5s vs 3.5s to 60) |
| Gas station flexibility | Full frunk space for gear storage |
| Remote location confidence | Towing capacity potentially reduced |
| Backup power generation | Oil changes and dual powertrain maintenance |
That frunk space matters if you’re the type who packs methodically. The naturally aspirated four-cylinder generator and its fuel system occupy real estate that could otherwise hold camping gear, tools, or recovery equipment.
You’re also maintaining two powertrains instead of one. Oil changes return to your life. Spark plugs. Coolant flushes. Air filters. It’s not the maintenance nightmare of a traditional truck, but it’s more complex than the pure EV’s “rotate tires and add windshield washer fluid” simplicity.
When Harvester Makes Perfect Sense
Match your actual lifestyle, not the aspirational one you tell yourself about at dinner parties.
The Harvester is your move if you regularly tow more than 200 miles to remote locations with sparse charging infrastructure. If you live in cold climates where winter routinely cuts electric range to uncomfortable levels. If you’re in a rural area where the nearest DC fast charger is 45 minutes away and it’s broken half the time anyway.
Weekend overlanding warriors needing confidence far from the grid and cell service should lean Harvester without guilt. This isn’t compromise. This is choosing the right tool for the job you’re actually doing, not the job you wish you were doing.
When Pure EV is Your Move
Sometimes more is actually less. The pure electric Scout makes perfect sense for specific situations.
Your daily commute is under 100 miles with reliable home or work charging. You live in urban or suburban areas with dense Tesla Supercharger access through Scout’s native NACS connector. You value maximum performance and that gut-punch 3.5-second acceleration. You want simpler maintenance and lower long-term operating costs.
Those rare long trips where planning a 20-minute charging stop feels acceptable instead of agonizing? That’s your signal. Current EV owners consistently report that range anxiety disappears within two to three weeks of ownership once home charging becomes routine. Your brain rewires faster than you’d expect.
Charging Reality: Why Range Matters Less Than You Think
Home Charging Changes the Entire Mental Model
This is where everything shifts. Level 2 charging at home refills your Scout overnight even after 200-mile days. You wake up with a full battery every single morning without standing in winter wind pumping gas while your hands go numb.
About 90% of your charging needs get covered by that nightly routine for most owners. You stop thinking about fuel entirely. It becomes as automatic as plugging in your phone before bed.
My colleague Jake switched to a Rivian R1S last year. He told me the weirdest adjustment wasn’t the electric driving. It was forgetting that gas stations existed. His brain took about three weeks to stop reflexively looking for fuel prices on highway signs. Now he laughs when his friends complain about $4.50 per gallon because he hasn’t thought about gas costs in months.
The 800-Volt Fast Charging Secret Weapon
Scout’s 800-volt architecture is a genuine technical advantage that most articles gloss over. It supports DC fast charging rates up to 350 kW, which translates to 10-80% charge in under 20 minutes under ideal conditions.
Most legacy EVs run on 400-volt systems, making Scout significantly faster when you do need public charging. That matters when you’re road-tripping and every minute at the charger is a minute not exploring.
The native North American Charging Standard port means Tesla Supercharger access from day one. No dongles dangling. No adapters to forget at home. Just plug into the biggest, most reliable charging network in America with over 50,000 locations. This single decision by Scout Motors changes the entire ownership experience compared to older EVs stuck with CCS adapters.
Infrastructure Reality Check for 2027
Let me give you an honest assessment. Today’s charging networks are frustrating. Electrify America stations have roughly a 50% operational success rate in some markets. That’s unacceptable, and everyone knows it.
By late 2027 when Scout production launches at the new South Carolina Blythewood factory, the infrastructure will improve. How much remains genuinely unknown. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding is flowing toward charger installations, but deployment is messy and uneven.
Harvester buyers are essentially betting that infrastructure won’t keep pace with their specific needs in rural and remote areas. That’s a reasonable bet based on current reality. Tesla’s network access helps dramatically, but even Superchargers cluster around highways and population centers, not overlanding trails.
The Charging Time Mindset Shift
Here’s what took me forever to understand about EV charging. You don’t think in gallons anymore. You think in percentages and time ranges.
Plan for 10-80% top-ups, not marathon 0-100% sessions. Charging slows dramatically above 80% due to battery thermal management, so you’re wasting time for minimal gain. Two five-minute routing adjustments on your phone save you fifty miles of range stress and eliminate the white-knuckle driving.
Treat DC fast chargers like trusted coffee stops, not emergency lifelines. Plug in, grab lunch, stretch your legs, check your maps. By the time you’re ready to roll, the Scout’s ready too. Smart routing apps like A Better Route Planner factor in elevation changes, weather, and real-time charger availability, doing all the math for you dynamically.
How Scout Stacks Up Against the Competition
The Rugged EV Showdown
Let’s put Scout in perspective against what’s actually available or coming soon:
| Model | Range | Starting Price | Charging Port | Vibe |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scout Pure EV | 350 miles | Under $60K | NACS | Heritage tool |
| Scout Harvester | 500+ miles | TBD (likely similar) | NACS | Safety blanket |
| Rivian R1T | Up to 410 miles | $77,000+ | NACS (adapter) | Spaceship tech |
| Ford F-150 Lightning | Up to 320 miles | $62,000+ | CCS/NACS | Familiar face |
| Tesla Cybertruck | Up to 340 miles | $80,000+ | NACS | Statement piece |
Scout’s under-$60,000 price target positions it $15,000-25,000 below the Rivian R1S when you account for trim levels and options. That’s not pocket change. That’s a year of groceries or a really nice camper upgrade.
Where Scout’s Design Choices Pay Off
As one off-road engineering expert put it: “True off-road capability requires different priorities than highway efficiency, and Scout chose capability.”
The boxy silhouette and solid rear axle trade some aerodynamic efficiency for durability and repairability in the field. Physical buttons beat touchscreen frustration when you’re wearing work gloves in February. Body-on-frame construction means local mechanics can actually service major components without sending the vehicle back to the factory.
That traditional shape also parks easier at Home Depot than angular sci-fi designs. You won’t clip your garage door frame backing out. Your neighbors won’t ask if you’re building a spaceship in your driveway. It looks like a truck that happens to be electric, not an electric vehicle trying to look like a truck.
The Price-Per-Adventure Calculation
Look beyond the sticker shock for a moment. Scout’s target price of under $60,000 is significantly more accessible than Rivian’s $77,000+ entry point. Scout Motors qualifies for the full $7,500 federal Clean Vehicle Credit under IRS guidelines due to South Carolina final assembly and battery sourcing requirements, though political winds could shift those incentives before 2027 production begins.
Zero routine maintenance costs on the pure EV’s electric motors means the money you save on oil changes, transmission services, and fuel literally funds your weekend adventures. One calculation I ran showed $2,400 annual fuel savings compared to a comparable gas truck driving 15,000 miles per year at $3.50 per gallon and 18 mpg combined.
Interestingly, Scout’s spokesperson indicated the Harvester EREV may actually cost less to build than the pure electric version due to the smaller 60-70 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack. If they pass those savings to buyers, the range extender becomes an even easier decision.
Designing Your Scout Range for Real Life
Start with Your Worst Day, Not Your Average Tuesday
Here’s the coaching moment you need. Plan for your worst-case scenario, not the sunny Saturday morning commute you’re daydreaming about.
Think worst case: February ice storm, fully loaded with camping gear, running late to your trailhead, no perfectly timed charger available at your preferred stop. Size your battery choice or range extender decision so that day feels tight but safe, not terrifying.
If that scenario sounds like every winter weekend, lean toward Harvester without guilt or shame. You’re not admitting EV defeat. You’re being realistic about your life. If that’s genuinely rare and you have reliable home charging, the standard 350-mile pure electric target will likely treat you kindly most days.
The Three Questions That Decide Everything
Your gut already knows the answer. You just need permission to admit it:
How often do you actually tow more than 200 miles one way? Not “might someday.” Actually do it based on last year’s calendar.
Can you charge at home or work consistently without landlord drama or HOA restrictions? This single factor matters more than any spec sheet number.
What’s the dollar value of range anxiety to your peace of mind? Some people sleep soundly gambling on charging infrastructure. Others need the certainty of a backup plan. Neither is wrong. They’re just different.
The honest answer beats the optimistic answer every single time, I promise.
Adventure Profiles: Which Scout Are You?
See yourself in these real scenarios, not hypothetical ones:
Daily driver weekender: Pure EV Scout with home Level 2 charging and occasional DC fast charging on monthly camping trips. You’re the person who drives 40 miles roundtrip to work and hits the trails twice a month within 150 miles of home.
Serious overlander: Harvester with rooftop tent setup, extra fuel containers strapped to the roof rack, and off-grid priorities that value independence over efficiency. Your Instagram is full of sunset photos from places without cell service.
Work truck contractor: Focus squarely on towing capacity, payload ratings, and on-site power capability from the Harvester’s bidirectional charging. You need the truck to earn money, not make environmental statements.
Ranch or remote living: Harvester plus the nearest DC fast charger 45 minutes away equals unstoppable flexibility. You’re not against electricity. You’re realistic about infrastructure gaps in rural areas.
Speed Kills Your Range More Than Weight
Here’s the relationship between mph and efficiency that nobody explains clearly. Slowing from 75 mph to 65 mph can add 20% or more to your total range because of exponential aerodynamic drag.
Every 5 mph above 60 costs you efficiency at an increasing rate. The discipline required is real: can you actually maintain 65 on the interstate while everyone blows past you? It’s harder than it sounds psychologically.
Cruise control at reasonable speeds becomes your secret range weapon. Set it at 67 mph instead of 78 and watch your estimated range stop dropping like a rock. The time difference on a 300-mile trip is about 30 minutes. The range difference might be 50+ miles. Do the math on what matters.
What Current EV Truck Owners Wish They’d Known
The Converted: Former Range Anxiety Sufferers Speak
One Rivian owner told me something that stuck: “After a few months of EV ownership, you start wondering how gas car drivers don’t have constant range anxiety. They never know exactly how much fuel they have until they check, and they can’t refuel at home.”
The pattern repeats constantly. Skeptics become evangelists after living with electrons for six to eight weeks. Home charging changes your mental model entirely, becoming an invisible routine like brushing your teeth. Your daily routine trumps those occasional edge cases almost every single time.
You genuinely stop thinking about fuel the way you’ve thought about it your entire driving life. It’s disorienting at first, then liberating.
The Pragmatists: Why They Went Range Extender
Let me acknowledge the legitimate concerns pushing people toward the Harvester. Towing anxiety multiplies dramatically for trucks, especially when camping off-grid in truly remote areas of Utah, Montana, or Alaska.
Choosing the range extender isn’t about being anti-EV or hating progress. It’s about having real options when your original plan falls apart and the backup charger is broken. The overlanding community genuinely needs fuel flexibility that electrons alone can’t provide yet, at least not in 2027.
One Ram 1500 Ramcharger reservation holder put it perfectly: “I want 3.5-second acceleration AND unlimited range as long as I’m willing to carry fuel. The Harvester gives me exactly that capability.”
The 2027 Wildcard: What Could Change Before Delivery
Let’s manage expectations honestly. Scout production is targeted for late 2027 at the new Blythewood manufacturing facility. That’s still two years away. A lot can change.
Battery technology is advancing rapidly. Will the final production specs improve beyond current targets? Volkswagen Group’s financial constraints suggest the Harvester may actually launch first since it requires smaller battery packs. Some analyst reports hint at this strategy.
Charging infrastructure expansion continues nationally, but unevenly. Urban corridors will see dramatic improvements. Rural routes? Maybe. The federal funding helps, but deployment timelines are unpredictable.
There’s legitimate uncertainty here, and that’s okay to acknowledge. First-year production vehicles from a new brand building in a new factory carry real risk. Your refundable deposit keeps options open while you watch how this unfolds.
Making Peace with Your Choice
Battery Chemistry: Why It Actually Matters to You
Think of this like choosing between premium and regular gas, except for electrons. The pure EV Scout uses NMC battery chemistry for higher energy density, letting them pack 120-130 kWh into a reasonably sized package. You charge to 80% daily to preserve battery longevity.
The Harvester uses LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery chemistry in its smaller 60-70 kWh pack for lower cost and superior durability. You can charge to 100% regularly without guilt or degradation concerns. LFP batteries are more thermally stable, reducing fire risk in extreme off-road conditions.
Translation: the pure EV is the sports car optimized for performance. The Harvester is the workhorse built for abuse and longevity. Different tools for different jobs.
One Chevy Volt owner I know went an entire year without adding gasoline on his 25-mile daily commute. His range extender engine literally never fired except for mandatory maintenance cycles. That’s the Harvester promise for suburban commuters who want weekend adventure capability.
The Money Math You’re Avoiding
Let’s talk about total cost of ownership honestly. The pure EV likely starts with a lower sticker price due to simpler construction and access to the full federal tax credit under current IRS Clean Vehicle Credit guidelines.
But here’s where it gets interesting. Scout’s spokesperson suggested the EREV configuration might actually cost less to manufacture than the full BEV due to the smaller battery requirement and established VW Group engine components. If they pass those manufacturing savings to buyers, the Harvester option could be price-neutral or even cheaper upfront.
Long-term maintenance tilts toward pure EV simplicity versus dual powertrain complexity of the Harvester. But fuel costs for Harvester get partially offset by electricity savings when running in EV mode. Calculate your actual usage patterns, not theoretical ones.
Forum Voices: The Fence-Sitters’ Real Concerns
You’re not alone in your doubts. Scout forums are full of legitimate concerns about first-year production quality from a new brand launching at a new plant. Will they actually deliver on time and on budget? Volkswagen’s financial challenges add uncertainty.
That refundable deposit is both freedom and torture. You’re keeping options open while watching competitors launch, infrastructure improve, and battery technology advance. Waiting feels simultaneously smart and agonizing.
Some reservation holders are planning to wait for year-two production after initial bugs get resolved. Others worry the federal EV tax credit eligibility might vanish if political winds shift in 2025-2026. These are reasonable concerns worth weighing against your actual vehicle replacement timeline.
Conclusion: Your Range Reality, Not Scout’s Marketing Reality
We’ve traveled from that 3 a.m. range anxiety calculator spinning in your head to understanding how 350 or 500 miles actually maps onto your real Tuesdays and Saturdays. Scout’s range isn’t about a number on a spec sheet. It’s about whether you can sleep soundly knowing your truck will get you where you need to go, the way you need to live.
That 80% choosing Harvester tells you everything: we’re not quite ready to trust electrons alone for serious adventures. And that’s perfectly okay. Maybe you’re the person who charges at home, rarely tows beyond 150 miles, and wants the pure EV experience with zero compromise and that thrilling 3.5-second acceleration that embarrasses sports cars. Or maybe you’re like most of us, genuinely excited about electric capability but haunted by that one camping trip where you barely limped to the gas station on fumes with your family getting nervous in the back seat.
Your first step today is brutally simple. Pull up your calendar right now. Count your actual long trips from last year, not the ones you wish you’d taken. Calculate your real towing frequency with honest numbers. Let the data decide, not the anxiety or the aspirational lifestyle you tell yourself about. If a 250-280 mile real-world comfort zone plus strategic charging fits 95% of those trips, the pure EV Scout Traveler or Terra belongs on your shortlist. If it doesn’t, choosing the Harvester isn’t admitting defeat. It’s choosing peace of mind over proving a point.
The future of Scout Motors is still two years away. But the decision about which Scout configuration is yours? That starts right now, with honest math about the life you’re actually living.
Scout EV Range Extender (FAQs)
How far can Scout EV go on a single charge?
Yes, the pure electric Scout Traveler and Terra target 350 miles per charge with their 120-130 kWh battery pack. Real-world driving typically delivers 250-280 miles depending on weather, speed, and terrain. The Harvester range extender configuration provides 150 miles of electric range plus 350 miles from the gas generator for 500+ total capability.
Does Scout Harvester use gas or electricity to drive?
No, the gas engine never drives the wheels directly. The Harvester’s naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine functions solely as a generator to charge the 60-70 kWh battery pack, which powers the electric motors. You drive on electricity 100% of the time, with the gas engine providing range extension when the battery depletes below certain thresholds.
How does Scout range compare to Rivian R1S?
Scout’s 350-mile BEV range trails Rivian R1S Max Pack’s 410 miles, but Scout starts under $60,000 compared to Rivian’s $77,000+ pricing. The Scout Harvester’s 500+ mile total range with generator capability significantly exceeds any Rivian configuration, providing flexibility Rivian can’t match for remote adventures and extended towing trips.
What is Scout’s charging time at Tesla Superchargers?
Scout’s native NACS connector and 800-volt architecture enable 10-80% charging in approximately 18-22 minutes at 350 kW peak speeds at compatible Superchargers. This represents significantly faster charging than older 400-volt EVs, with actual times varying based on battery temperature, ambient conditions, and charger availability at Tesla’s 50,000+ North American locations.
How much range does Scout lose when towing a trailer?
Yes, expect approximately 50% range reduction when towing 7,000-10,000 pound trailers based on Ford Lightning and Rivian owner data. The Scout Terra’s 350-mile pure electric range drops to roughly 175 miles under maximum 10,000-lb towing loads, while the Harvester configuration extends towing range to 250-300 miles before refueling becomes necessary.
