Scout debuts EV / EREV (gas-powered range extender) SUV and Pickup
Gotta say this has me very intrigued
https://www.scoutevforum.com/forum/t...-videos.10919/ New SUV & Pickup under resurrected Scout brand that has both BEV and EREV (gas-powered range extender) models. The gas-powered range extended model seems like a good alternative to going full electric or PHEV? Wish more manufacturers would go with this instead of PHEV or full BEV. |

Let me guess - another EV manufacturer that wants to build EVs from scratch in the US, but needs a $8B plant, won’t make it on time, and when it finally does, the car will cost $95K instead of the promised $50K... I do like the modernized retro style

Styling looks good. Volkswagen engineering is pretty good. Let's see it with an EA888 Evo 4 engine from the Golf R.

Found some more technical stuff re:the solid axle drivetrain.. https://www.theautopian.com/i-crawle...-what-i-found/
Looks like it could potentially have some serious bump steer issues. |

Lots of un-sprung weight bouncing around with the motor and transmission fastened to the through axle. The shocks will need to be well designed to keep things under control. I'm not a pro at suspension geometry but it looks to be better designed for off-roading vs on-roading. Then there's the whole skid plate thing, hopefully they reinforced the entire underside strong enough to prevent damage when offroading.
