Scout Motors was established to manufacture and market off-road electric vehicles. It is a U.S.-based operation and independent company, managed separately from Volkswagen AG with its own executive team and board members. On November 12, 2025, Scout Motors and North Carolina Governor Josh Stein announced that Scout's global headquarters will be located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
