(Reuters) – Volkswagen’s Scout Motors unit on Thursday unveiled its concept electric SUV and truck and said it will offer extended-range versions that include a small gasoline engine.
VW is building a $2 billion factory in South Carolina and expects to begin production of the new vehicles in 2027. The full EV versions will offer up to 350 miles of range on a charge while the extended-range version will have 500 miles. “It makes the platform future proof,” Scout CEO Scott Keogh said.
