Scout Motors, a new subsidiary of Volkswagen, unveiled the retro-inspired Scout Terra and Scout Traveler, rugged EVs with options for gasoline-powered range extenders to ease range anxiety.
The addition of a gasoline engine capable of extending the range to 500 miles reflects automakers' strategy to alleviate customer range anxiety while committing to electric vehicle development.
Extended-range EVs allow manufacturers to create purpose-built electric platforms while also addressing current consumer fears about electric vehicle limitations, providing a feasible compromise during the transition period.
These vehicles represent a balance between traditional combustion engine reliability and new electric vehicle technology, as automakers explore ways to better fit consumer needs in an evolving market.
