Lady interviewer was really good. She actually knew what she was asking about. Well done.

If Scout sticks with the horizontal speedo it should make it a real analog gauge with a mechanical sweeping needle. It's a great gauge design because it shows the volume of the speed by the swept area of the needle.

I just have a problem with the "First SUV" thing.

I have a 2022 Bronco. I was an early reservationist, so when I saw it for the first time at one of Ford's Bronco tours, I thought it was too big. When my Bronco finally was delivered and I first test drove it, I still thought it was too big. I was expecting a size of the 1st Gen Ford...

That's what I thought the Terra was until the specs came out. It might be too big for what I want.

While true about Stellantis, the Bronco was supposed to wipe up the Wrangler too, but it didn't happen. For 2025, the Bronco is pretty much a mall crawler now. I still think EV for off roading is a non starter (preception-wise). A 2-door removable top ORV is a unique animal. There are perceived...

That's a big 'ole flag!

Scout has stated 150 mile EV only range before the generator starts. Again, that's a warm weather spec; usually mid 70's deg. F. If you have concerns regarding range of either the BEV or EREV model, maybe an EV in general is not your best choice?

So many people doubled and tripled up with the Bronco lauch, it screwed fellow early reservationists. I think there is enough known now about the Harvester line to make go no go decision. Either a max range of 350 miles and a 15 to 30-minute recharge to 80% recovery at a DCFC station is good...

The Harvester hybrid has more total range at 500 miles than the BEV version at 350 miles between recharging events. The difference to you will be in the MPGe efficiency. MPGe is the EV equivalent of MPG for an ICE-powered only vehicle. The 500 mile range rating is based on a fully charged...

But the truck doesn't need a 1:1 ratio of ICE to electric motor horsepower. That is the engineering beauty of an ICE-hybrid drivetrain, a smaller-consuming-energy internal combustion engine is assisted by a higher available horsepower EV drivetrain to move the vehicle. The battery size...

IIRC that 1.2M mile Tesla required 13 motor replacements.

It depends on how the driveline is configured and how Scout plans on implementing the Harvester system, but in theory such a system just needs gasoline (or diesel) to create electricity and power the electric drivetrain.

An EREV is a Series-Hybrid. EREV is a marketing name conjured up because most non-technical people don't understand there are two types of hybrid vehicles: Parallell Hybrid (i.e. Prius) and Series Hybrid (i.e. Volt* or BMW i3). *the Volt was unique in that its transmission could switch to...

I didn't bash you. You made the same statement in other threads regarding the Harvester option, so I figured I'd try to help you and others better understand what is a hybrid vehicle. It's just educational.

You said an EREV is not a Hybrid. That is an incorrect statement. You are confusing people who may not understand the difference between a battery electric vehicle and a hybrid electric vehicle.
