    Opinion: Why the Scout nails it for EV Trucks / SUVs: Towing & Long Distance Trips

    Which would require you to disconnect it from your car and maneuver it to a parking spot to charge it, and then do the reverse to get it all connected again. It would be a giant hassle, hopefully at some point someone makes actual pull through charging stalls

    Opinion: Why the Scout nails it for EV Trucks / SUVs: Towing & Long Distance Trips

    Yeah I don't think they could currently be charged at most EV chargers as they are too big and you don't want to try to back that into a car spot. When you get where you're going they've said it should be able to charge up slowly at RV hookups + solar in a weekend back to full. I believe one of...

    They have said it could do that. Wouldn’t be much of a benefit to having the generator otherwise.

    That’s one of them there was another I saw too but I’ll have to look it up later. The cheapest version of the trailer doesn’t include the power for helping tow but it is an option

    Opinion: Why the Scout nails it for EV Trucks / SUVs: Towing & Long Distance Trips

    There are a couple RV trailers coming out with their own batteries and power to basically make them neutral to tow. If that goes well I could see other trailers getting similar technology

    Opinion: Why the Scout nails it for EV Trucks / SUVs: Towing & Long Distance Trips

    Good use case, but just making sure you know the EREV isn't 350 miles EV only its 150 miles EV + 350 miles Harvester. Personally 150 miles will get me just about anywhere locally on a regular basis especially since we are at sea level with no real hills or mountains nearby. Then when I want to...

    South Carolina Bill - H. 3777 Introduced: "Consumer Freedom Act" -- to Allow Direct Sale to Consumers

    He didn’t really seem to make a single point against it other than calling it another handout and saying EVs are terrible, didn’t try to defend the dealerships or current car buying experience at all.

    Article: Why More People Are Ordering The Hybrid Scout Harvester (EREV) Than The Electric One

    You obviously are dead set in your view, the vast majority of orders are for harvesters, people have tried to explain why they want it and you just claim everyone else is wrong and can’t possibly be right or have any legitimate desires. Clearly scout should fire their team and just listen to you...

    Article: Why More People Are Ordering The Hybrid Scout Harvester (EREV) Than The Electric One

    You know how I can tell you have never been away from a city. Because people plan ahead in case things happen. They bring things they hopefully won’t need but trails wash out, trees fall down, things break down and you may have to improvise. This is why scout even showed off a jerrycan that fits...

    In general yes, for this maybe, but I think unlikely most of the time there aren’t even gas stations in why would there be charging stations

    You’re also assuming off-road trails are close to a charger. When my friend’s go they go and camp for a long weekend, there are no chargers or outlets of any kind where they are.

    Adapting to the Future Tech Before Production

    That’s why people make hybrids and erev they help bridge the gap. They can both even facially be driven without ever plugging in if you so choose. EVs are still growing everywhere and I don’t think anywhere will be pure ev only quickly things are still moving that way and I’ve seen nothing that...

    South Carolina Bill - H. 3777 Introduced: "Consumer Freedom Act" -- to Allow Direct Sale to Consumers

    This is a state level thing there is nothing at the federal level, but there are a bunch of protectionist laws at the state levels to protect dealerships from having any competition.

    Adapting to the Future Tech Before Production

    ford started with ICE engines, it makes no sense to start a new company today to make ICE vehicles. They have the harvester which can mostly function as the same thing and the world is moving to EVs in one form or another (EV, hybrid, EREV, etc). By not having separate ICE engines they don't...
