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

Batteries are very expensive, very heavy and take up a lot of space that they need to fit the Harvester. I think 100-150 miles is reasonable for my minimum expectations and trade offs.

I don't know what impact solid state batteries will have on that when they are production ready.

I'd love the full 350 mi battery pack and Harvester, especially if the Harvester ends up relatively weak. But I also wouldn't buy a $100k, 8k lb truck that was two foot longer.

You'd assume the BEV would weigh in around the R1 weight (7100 or so). I'm full EV at this point so the battery range would be quite important. The less gas I'd have to deal with the better. Will likely be the BEV version for me.

In my situation I drive 75 miles to work once a week. There are occasions where I will have to do that drive up to 3 times in a week. Given that I do not have charging access at work or at my current residence I am not guaranteed access to charging on a daily basis. Throw in that I live in the midwest and cold weather performance I would feel much better with the range extension.
