I'm most likely wrong as I assumed 280 miles of EV range before the generator kicks in. The reality may be quite different with the generator being able to be started before max EV range is achieved and in fact with a smaller battery bank in the Harvester, we don't know exactly what the Harvester EV-only max range is. We also don't know the size of the Harvester fuel tank. Even with all the unknowns, I applaud Scout Motors for embracing the hybrid option in this form and hope it works out well.Hmm, I don't remember that in the unveiling event (and just rewatched that part of the video and it doesn't seem like the number is shown)....where did you get that info on 56:44?
I could have sworn..that this article ->
https://insideevs.com/news/738669/scout-traveler-terra-revealed/
Last night stated that it they received a pre-release article that stated the harvester was 150mile range on battery, and the rest gas, though...Its not there anymore. It does show the article was edited today to remove the "quad motor variant" so maybe they weren't supposed to release that 150 mile data.
If it is 150 mile data, that would be right in line with the ramcharger doing 145 miles on battery and the rest in gas. With the scout being 500 mile range vs 700 ramcharger, I assume that just means a smaller gas tank in the scout.
So many questions though. In the reveal vid, they showed the harvester having the generator in the back of the SUV. Maybe the same with the truck? If so, that means the terra harvester still might keep the frunk? What about the spare tire? Or maybe they have the generator in the frunk area like the ramcharger? (I doubt that though...I would assume they would keep the two platforms as similar as possible)
Well...actually, next year once the ramcharger comes out. I am assuming the ramcharger and harvester are going to perform about the same with how they handle being a EREV.
