spoke to Keogh earlier this year, he told me he didn\u2019t want to make another hyperminimalist EV, festooned with touchscreens, glassy surfaces, and haptic buttons. He wanted to make something <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/2\/15\/24073745\/scout-motors-ev-truck-factory-groundbreaking-ceo-interview\">that was real and mechanical<\/a> \u2014 something that you could grab and feel connected to. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">\u201cThere\u2019s definitely a large segment that wants to bring forth some of the heritage thing,\u201d he said this week.\u00a0\u201cThey don\u2019t want to be isolated from the car&#8230; They want to have real switches. They want to have mechanical touch and feel.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Keogh says the company is calling it the \u201cConnection Machine\u201d \u2014 a phrase it appears to be trying to trademark. The idea is that when you\u2019re behind the wheel, tearing through some gravel or ripping up a 100 percent grade, you\u2019re connected to the car through the physical act of driving but also your passengers, bumping up against each other on the same bench seat. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-heading my-20 font-polysans text-24 font-light leading-110 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple md:text-26 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-white\">In the zone<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">That said, there are plenty of design and engineering choices that prove that Scout has its sights set firmly on the horizon. The inclusion of a zonal architecture, rather than a domain-style electrical setup, will help ensure that the vehicles have a lot of \u201cheadroom\u201d for future updates, Keogh said, reducing costs not only on the manufacturing side but also for owners through reduced maintenance costs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Zonal architecture is still relatively niche in the auto industry. Tesla has been doing it for years, but most automakers use domain architectures, with dozens of electronic control units that control everything from power windows and airbags to braking. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Rivian recently switched to a zonal system when it launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/6\/6\/24172761\/rivian-r1t-r1s-refresh-update-motor-battery-price\">next-gen versions of its R1 vehicles<\/a>.

Sharing platforms is very common, especially when trying to spin up an entirely new production line. (For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/11\/23\/22798695\/audi-rs-etron-gt-review-ev-specs-price\">the Audi RS E-tron GT<\/a> is built on the same platform as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/2\/6\/24063359\/porsche-taycan-refresh-ev-spec-photos-price\">the Porsche Taycan<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block md:float-left md:mr-30 md:w-[320px] lg:-ml-100\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-pullquote mb-20\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup relative bg-repeating-lines-dark bg-[length:1px_1.2em] pb-8 font-polysans text-28 font-medium leading-120 tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20  dark:bg-repeating-lines-light dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple\">\u201cThey want to have mechanical touch and feel\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">To be sure, VW has been going through its own struggles around EVs. The company\u2019s plug-in models are selling well, but its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2024\/01\/09\/volkswagen-delivered-394000-evs-in-2023-falls-behind-tesla\/\">market share<\/a>\u00a0in North America is shrinking. And its software has been\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/12\/14\/23508088\/volkswagen-software-id4-bug-problem-smartphone\">plagued by bugs and customer complaints<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">But Keogh assured me that Scout wasn\u2019t trying to ignore its advantages over some of its rivals. The company wants to maintain its individuality but will still share some components with its parent company, like drive units and other modules. Considering VW has never before competed in the off-road segment, Scout will take those components and piece them together into something that can tackle the roughest conditions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">\u201cThe last thing we want to do is to grab a 100 percent carryover platform with all the modules,\u201d Keogh said, \u201cbecause then we\u2019d be a badge. And Scout won\u2019t work as a badge at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-heading my-20 font-polysans text-24 font-light leading-110 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple md:text-26 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-white\">Range life<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The inclusion of a gas-powered range extender is also sure to raise some eyebrows. At a time when car buyers are flocking to hybrids, Scout certainly could have gone that route and no one would have complained. Instead, the company opted to include a small gas-powered generator that charges the battery, rather than powering the engine. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The reason for this was twofold. First, electric trucks have historically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/6\/6\/23749844\/ford-f150-lightning-payload-range-loss-aaa\">struggled with range<\/a> when carrying heavy payloads or towing large objects. Scout needs to convince truck shoppers that they can do all the truck stuff they love without sacrificing range. The other reason is that Keogh firmly believes that EVs are the future, and he wanted a vehicle that put battery power first, while still offering a smidge of fossil fuels to help quell range anxiety. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">\u201cIt introduces the buyer to electrification on their American terms,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-heading my-20 font-polysans text-24 font-light leading-110 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple md:text-26 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-white\">Not dystopian<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The look of the Terra and Traveler will be immediately recognizable to a lot of people.
