The performance demands (energy usage) of either of the Scout models is significantly higher than an economy car like the Volt. As an example it would probably take a half dozen or more Volts to tow 8,000 to 10,000 pounds. Or as another example, the Scout models will be a little less than twice...

A four cylinder (2.0L to 2.5L) gas engine set up as a generator should be able to produce somewhere in the 25 to 35 kWh range based on what I’m seeing. If someone is more familiar with higher output gasoline generators feel free to correct me.

Yeah, I would guess if you wanted to do a full day (600+ miles) of highway towing, the most efficient way would be to stop for a short break every two hours or so, with one of those during the day being at a gas station to add fuel.

Things that are pretty well confirmed: -the battery will have about 150 miles of range -the gas tank and generator have the capacity to generate enough electricity to fill the battery around 2 1/3 times Anyone that’s spent much time with an EV knows that use (speed, temperature, towing...

Something like this is my hope too. Green is my preferred color, but it also tends to be the color that I either really like or don't like at all, depending on what shade a company goes with.

For anyone that has done factory delivery with a different vehicle, do they remove the destination fee because they don't have to ship the vehicle? Or do they leave all or part of it as a factory delivery fee to offset the cost of staffing and having a facility for delivery.

I think its been reported from a few different people at the press launch, that the harvester will have about a 150 mile range battery. Its possible, although I think unlikely, they would have as an option an extended range Harvester with the base EV battery plus the gas engine generator...

But with the Maverick you're comparing a smaller gas engine + a battery vs. a larger gas engine. The delta in price between two similar internal combustion engines is going to be smaller than the delta in price between a large and medium size battery pack. But I completely agree with you that...

The Harvester definitely won't be more expensive than the full EV version. They will likely sell it for the same/very similar price to the base EV because of demand and make a better margin on those vehicles than the EV. It seems likely there will be three battery sizes. One that gives around...

It doesn't seem like driver assistance tech will be the focus for Scout, which makes sense given the type of vehicle it is, but it will definitely have modern driver assistance features (it would be almost impossible to sell a modern vehicle for $60k+ to a wide enough segment of the market...
