From Blythewood to Charlotte — we’re growing our footprint in the Carolinas. We're excited to lay the next brick on our journey by establishing our corporate operations in Charlotte's Commonwealth development in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood. Within driving distance of our Production Center in South Carolina, this location will further solidify our presence in the Carolinas and enable seamless coordination between manufacturing, corporate, and technical functions. We look forward to ramping up vehicle development in one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions and rising automotive hubs. #TheWorldNeedsScouts
“SC “Republican” lawmakers awarded crony capitalist carmaker Scout Motors – a subsidiary of über-woke Volkswagen – a whopping $1.3 billion in taxpayer-funded incentives two years ago (despite the company receiving precisely zero credible offers from other states). The boondoggle came at the absolute worst time for the electric vehicle market, although Scout still envisions a massive manufacturing facility near Blythewood, S.C. which it insists will one day employ as many as 4,600 people. Will these lofty projections come to pass? Probably not… as we noted in a recent assessment. This week, Scout – which sought additional taxpayer largesse from Palmetto State politicians earlier this year – made another big “economic development” reveal. Only this time, the company stiffed South Carolina in favor of its neighbor to the north. On Wednesday (November 12, 2025), Scout announced its intention to locate its new corporate headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. The deal will bring 1,200 high-paying, corporate jobs to the Queen City – along with a capital investment of approximately $200 million. The average expected minimum wage of these positions – which are scheduled to come online between 2026 and 2030 – is a whopping $172,878.”
Why oh why are you stuck on the EV/Hybrid bandwagon? You are alienating the vast majority of TRUE Scout enthusiasts.
They’ve torn Blythewood to shreds and couldn’t settle their corporate offices 20 minutes away in downtown Columbia? WOW.
Such an exciting milestone for our team!
Welcome to Charlotte, the place to be ❤️
Welcome to Charlotte! Looking forward to making my pre-order into a reality. Fantastic to see more Design, Engineering, and Manufacturing in the Carolinas.
NC...until that tax well runs dry, then it will be on to the next state, perhaps? MI...SC...NC...where next? Montana? Alaska?
Welcome to Charlotte. Intelligent decision to locate your corporate offices nearby to manufacturing and to select a fast growing city that has and continues to draw top talents needed for success!!
Disappointing to not see the HQ in Columbia, SC.
