150 miles of EV range comes from Scout. Jamie@Scoutmotors has posted it on their forums. That doesn't mean it's written in stone. Those are just their projections right now. There's an awful lot of engineering that has to occur.
Harvester is already a generator, but it operates differently than the Ford. Yes, your Scout could send power to your house or power your equipment. The Scout will be bi-directional. The electricity will come from the Scout battery. Setting up a special generator mode that locks the cabin...
This is on the Scout website. They seem to be listening to customer feedback, so there's plenty of time for additions/subtractions. Keep voicing your opinions (apologies for poor quality)!
I was referring to the mobile service trucks for areas that don't have nearby service centers. They could be based/affiliated with VW/Audi dealers. They will have to operate out of somewhere.
Edmunds makes it sound like the Harvester has the same battery as the EV. This contradicts info from Scout that mentions a smaller battery with an EV range of around 150 miles with the remaining 350 miles provided by generator-supplied electricity. Jamie@Scoutmotors answers some questions on...
I read a comment from Jamie@Scoutmotors—don't take everything you see there as gospel. The final product won't be identical.

I would only caution not to infer too much...
Jamie@Scoutmotors has said the Harvester I will have an EV-only range of about 150 mi and the rest will come from electricity from the gas generator. That means a smaller battery. That's how the Ramcharger works. It has a smaller battery pack and the gas engine only generates electricity. There...
You have it backwards. Scout is claiming an EV range of around 150 mi, and the rest would come from the extender. The battery in the Harvester will be smaller.
It's too early to say. It seems like the harvester take rate is high for the pre-orders. They may use that as an opportunity to raise prices to maximize profit. The information I've seen says the Ram range extender version is about $2,000 more than their pure EV. But the Pentastar V6 they use...
