Scout!!!!! Coming as an EREV first but BEV (fully EV) is still coming too. Side note: I’m 5’1” for reference. I got A LOT of comments on my social videos/shorts about how big these look next to me.
Yes, they do, they both have huge all-terrain tires on them as well! This is a quick walkaround of the two prototype Scouts: Traveler SUV and Terra pick-up. I love them both — which is your favorite? Personally, the bench seat doesn’t do for me!

Along with the EV problem the price should start a lot less than "under $60,000". I just don't see a lot of them being sold.
No , we carry Jerry cans and can refuel very quickly .You take an ev suv off road and it will use a lot of power depending on the terrain .Good luck if you take your ev scout off road like we do with our Broncos .
