According to Green Car Journal the Ramcharger will DC fast charge at up to 175 kW. It sounds like the Ramcharger will arbitrarily limit how much you can charge the battery with the generator, with the "E-Save" mode letting you sustain the current charge level of up to 50%. I hope the Scout...

I am keeping my Traveler Harvester reservation for now. My wife and I are just starting to shop for an RV travel trailer and are planning to buy something we can tow with our Ridgeline, which has a 5000 pound tow rating. I was looking forward to the 7000+ pound rating for the Traveler to give...

Neither is using nickel metal hydride. Both are using lithium batteries, just with different chemistries. The pure EV will use Nickel Magnesium Cobalt (NMC), which has better energy density, tolerates cold better, but degrade faster, especially if it is fully charged or fully discharged. The...

Even with the Harvester, you could make sure it is off while fording, using only the battery for the short time you are in the water. I would think it wouldn't be that hard to design an air intake that is self-draining and/or seals shut when the Harvester is off.

Ideally Scout would give drivers control over when the Harvester runs. For the sake of argument, I'm going to assume that the Harvester version's battery is large enough to give 200 miles of range, the Harvester engages to keep the battery charge at 25% when it is below 25%, and the Harvester...

We have an EV, a Kia EV6. I've put a deposit down for a Traveler with Harvester, but it wouldn't be replacing the EV6 but our other two cars: a BMW i3 with range extender and a Toyota Sienna. I want a vehicle that I can drive locally purely on electricity and can also take on road trips through...

Close. They limited its effective size in software, meaning there was still 1/2 gal. of fuel in the tank when it when the car said it was empty. Source: I own an i3, which I've coded to make the entire fuel tank usable, which is still only 2.4 gal.

My 2015 BMW i3 has 96,000 miles on it and has lost about 10% battery capacity.

I've owned three EVs: a Nissan Leaf, which I sold in 2022, a BMW i3, and a Kia EV6. I strongly prefer one-pedal driving, except on an open level highway. But I hope the Scouts allow varying the level of regen like the EV6 does. I also hope it is possible to turn off creep. Most of my non-EVs...

I made my reservation today. We live in northern Colorado and want a vehicle that can run on electricity alone for local trips but can be used to pull a moderate RV trailer through Wyoming, Montana, etc where the charging infrastructure is terrible.
