Scout to expand to Novi, Michigan, add 200 jobs
Scout Motors shared details of its plans for the Innovation Center, which will be established in Novi, Michigan, about 30 miles northwest of Detroit. When complete, Scout says the Innovation Center will become home to its product, design, and engineering teams, as well as those offering cross-functional support to multiple departments.
Scout relayed that it chose The Great Lakes State because it is one of the leaders in global EV and mobility development and leads the nation in mobility-related patents. Scout president and CEO Scott Keogh elaborated:
Scout’s new R&D facility is expected to create 200 new engineering jobs in Michigan, adding to the nearly 300 employees the Volkswagen sub-brand has hired since its inception in 2022. When complete, the Innovation Center will serve Scout’s electric truck production facility, which is currently being erected in South Carolina.

The establishment of Scout’s Innovation Center will be supported by a performance-based grant under a Michigan Business Development Program. Programs like this helped the state garner over $14 billion in electric vehicle and battery investments last year, bringing new work opportunities.
