Dual fuel

Having to package, haul around and maintain a gas electric generator (including of course a fuel tank, exhaust system, cooling system, etc) defeats one of the greatest benefits of an EV. Anyone with a Tesla knows how quickly you can supercharge; and more stations are coming on line every day. I would rather also buy a restored classic ICE Scout or a new Bronco along with a new Scout EV

Seems to me some of you really don't want an electric vehicle at all, but some kind of diesel, gas, propane hybrid with a 150 mile electric range. What a monstrosity. I'll stick with an all electric and 350 mile range any day.

Harvester will bring more people into the fold until battery tech improves. I'm all for choices. A 350 mile EPA rating could mean a real-world 270 mile range. Many EV's Don't come close to their EPA ratings (Tesla, Rivian, Ford, VW, Hyundai/Kia). But like many of us, I'm waiting to see exactly what the tech involved in the Harvester is.

Flex capacitor !! Most likely compatible to Koehler or Honda Generator set on vibrate bushings and sound deadening exhaust will be used to heat batteries during cold months and damper to change exhaust flow on hotter days. Hey remember your first remote control car ??

From what I’ve read, Rivians actually post ranges similar to their ratings whereas Tesla’s are mostly BS.

I guess it depends on how the vehicle is driven. My default source is Car and Driver, who puts vehicles through a 200 Mi test at a steady 75. A quad-motor R1S rated for 316 miles went only 230 miles@75 mph. The pickup went 220. When they tested the pickup with all season tires, it went 280 mi. That's a huge difference. The EPA combined figure is 55% city/45% highway. I'm sure Scout is doing everything they can to maximize range.
