All-electric Scout models are projected to reach 60 mph in approximately 3.5 seconds, whereas the EREVs are expected to take 4.5 seconds.
Both battery electric vehicle (BEV) and EREV models will offer similar payload and towing capacities.
The EREV may be an appealing choice for individuals who are not yet ready to transition to a fully electric vehicle.
Scout Motors' CEO has shared significant new information about the extended-range electric vehicles, which are demonstrating greater popularity compared to the BEV version. Scott Keogh noted that the EREV will deliver an estimated 150 miles (241 km) of electric-only driving range and around 500 miles (805 km) of total range.
Keogh, who previously held the position of CEO and president of VW Group of America, joined Scout Motors in August 2022. The newly established company has already showcased the Terra and Traveler models but has been relatively reserved about discussing the EREV models until now.
In a recent interview with Motor Trend, Keogh revealed intriguing new specifics regarding both the EREV and the BEV. He confirmed that the BEV will feature a battery in the range of 120 to 130 kWh, while the EREV's battery will be smaller, between 60 to 70 kWh. He mentioned that the battery chemistries might differ and indicated that the BEV would require roughly 3.5 seconds to accelerate to 60 mph (96 km/h), while the EREV would likely take an additional second at around 4.5 seconds.
Keogh also mentioned that Scout expects both the Terra and Traveler BEVs to provide about 350 miles (563 km) of range, while the EREV will extend that to 500 miles (805 km), including the 150 miles (241 km) of all-electric range.
The VW-owned brand also intends for both models to be versatile and practical. Keogh stated that both the BEV and EREV will support the same payload capacity of around 2,000 lbs (907 kg), noting that towing capacity will also be “about the same,” although he did not provide specific figures. He confirmed that the EREV will feature a four-cylinder engine but did not disclose additional details about it.
Keogh suggested some intriguing possibilities regarding the EREV’s upgradability. He mentioned that owners could potentially replace the gas tank with a larger or smaller one, or upgrade the engine to enhance power or range. He also indicated that battery chemistries could be improved over time, ensuring the vehicle stays current and modern.
