When Volkswagen-owned Scout Motors announced their retro Bronco homage to their upcoming pickup, there was already a lot of interest. Now that the manufacturer has started taking pre-orders, it has quickly become clear that customers do not want the electric model, which seems to have surprised Scout Motors' CEO.
Over 80% of all those who placed their orders have chosen the electric and gasoline-powered variant (a gasoline-powered range extender that, like a generator, helps charge the electric car's battery), which Scout's CEO Scott Keogh have commented:
"Look, the market has spoken. Over 80% of the reservations are for the range extender."
