Or…crazy idea here…maybe just install solar at your residence and charge normally 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, it’s the only way. However, even a portable power station isn’t really practical. I’ve tried it and abandoned the idea. you’re better off using solar to power non-vehicle loads like device charging, camp refrigerator, etc... The only real practical use of solar with a car is keeping the...

No, as you are still missing key equipment needed to make this work. To make this work, you’d essentially need a complete portable power station—like an EcoFlow—directly into the Scout's chassis. You would need an MPPT, an inverter, and crucially, a secondary lithium buffer battery. Because...

I see that you’re acknowledging the low range gains, so I won’t argue the lack of ROI here. But the idea that they can just add some cheap MC4 connectors misses the sheer complexity of how solar-to-EV charging would actually work. Building this into a standard production vehicle is basically an...

We don’t have every detail yet, but we have plenty of info to know the Harvester is clearly a compromise. It’s slower than the full EV (~4.5s vs 3.5s 0–60), has less range (~120–150 miles), tows less (~5,000 lbs vs 10,000 lbs), and is going to require more maintenance with more things to break...

I’ve been driving an electric truck for the past three years — including plenty of long road trips and towing — and here’s what I’ve learned: 1. If you can’t charge at home or at work, an electric vehicle makes zero sense. Relying on public fast chargers for daily commuting is miserable, makes...

I guess none of this should be a surprise. Nothing is free. You can't have a truck be both an EV and an ICE vehicle and expect it to be a good EV and a good ICE vehicle. For me, the harvester version is no longer appealing, and I have two reservations. While I know there are some niche...

I think they over indexed on the harvester. I just wanted an high performing EV truck that allowed me to fuel up occasionally when towing. A 15 gallon tank and hundreds of miles of gas range is overkill and came at the cost of EV performance (towing, range, acceleration). 3-5 gallon tank would...
