Scout Motors Secures 212,000 Reservations for New EV Lineup

Scout Motors has secured approximately 212,000 reservations for its upcoming Terra pickup truck and Traveler SUV. CEO Scott Keogh announced that the company's $2 billion manufacturing plant in Blythewood, South Carolina, is now 85% complete and entering its final construction phase.

To address slower electric vehicle adoption, the Volkswagen-backed startup is offering both all-electric and extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs). EREVs currently account for 87% of all reservations. The company plans to prioritize the launch of EREV and mid-level models to maximize early sales volume and establish a 12-to-18 month order book.

Full production is expected to begin next year, with customer deliveries scheduled for 2028.
