VW's Coming Scout Pickup and SUV Will Be Hardworking Beasts Volkswagen AG's relaunch of the Scout nameplate as a standalone EV brand seemingly came out of nowhere, promising to add a much-needed lineup of off-road vehicles to the automaker's US offerings, with VW itself lacking a pickup offering stateside. And it also promised to tap into a rugged, retro design aesthetic that has served some automakers well over the past few years, including Ford with the resurrected Bronco.
Just what we can expect from Scout was revealed this week, with the brand taking the wraps off two concepts—a truck and an SUV—intended to be fairly close previews of what we will see in a couple of years.

The ID. Buzz itself has been in production for a little while now, mostly for the European market that has also received a cargo version aimed at commercial customers.
And now it's finally headed to our shores.
This month we had a chance to finally drive the US-market version precisely where longtime VW fans usually picture it in their imaginations: the California coast.
Does the ID. Buzz live up to the buzz?
Read on to find out. |

Experimental Dodge Charger Daytona EVs Will Test Solid-State Battery Cells Solid-state battery tech promises greater energy density, as well as faster recharge times and improved thermal safety.
But going from lab settings to an assembly line has not been easy for this type of battery technology, as various startups work on their own solid-state compositions.
The Dodge Charger Daytona will be among the latest EVs to test solid-state compositions from battery developer Factorial, which is now backed by a number of automakers.
Here's why several manufacturers are betting on this particular battery design. |
