I personally don't think it will survive with only an ev option. I think there should be that option available, I want one bad from the what I just seen. Slap a v6 turbo or diesel in one and I'll be at the front door to order one

 

I like what they've shown us so far, a lot. If those vehicles were available now they'd be extremely competitive, but there's no doubt that a lot will change in the EV market over the next few years ... and if the new Scouts are still 3 years away, it's an open question how competitive they're going to be.

 

It will be interesting to see the actual specs off the range extender. If done correctly this could make a big difference.

I don't know if the timing is as much of an issue, Ford has delayed their next round of vehicles to a similar timeframe, GM is just starting to ramp up now, we'll see if/what stellantis puts out, but I think there will likely be interest in a more moderately priced vehicle within this timeframe.

Agreed the range extender is going to be huge. That's something I think Dodge got right when they revealed the electric Rams.

There needs to be that option available for people. Especially for anyone looking to take their vehicles on long trips and not being hindered by charging networks.

 

Do I see them being mass market vehicles like the Wrangler? Not necessarily but I think it's possible. Even if they don't I think there's a market for them if they can perform on par or out perform other similar SUVs/Trucks.

 

I think I read that the new Scout factory will have an initial capacity of 200,000 vehicles/year? That's a pretty decent number. Ford's ICE Bronco -- maybe a good comparison in terms of looks and function -- is only selling about 100,000 units a year. (Jeep in all its various versions does way better than that, of course.)
