Scout Motors Focuses on Extended-Range EVs
Scout Motors has seen strong interest in extended-range models of their Terra pickup and Traveler SUV, with over 80% of 130,000 reservations being for these models.
According to CEO Scott Keogh, this indicates a continued hesitancy towards fully electric trucks, with the all-electric versions of the Terra and Traveler attracting fewer reservations.
More than 80% of the 130,000 reservations are for models featuring a gas generator that extends the battery’s range.
- The Terra pickup and Traveler SUV will be launched in 2027.
- The all-electric versions feature nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) batteries with an estimated 350-mile range.
