The thing I like about the Harvester generator engine is that it likely will run at a constant rpm, putting less strain on the engine while providing a constant predictable output, regardless of temperature. I'm guessing there will be an eco and max mode to the generator, similar to small portable inverter generators, that fluctuate efficiency. I have a small portable inverter generator and cold temps don't seem to matter to it. It'll run all day with minimal gas usage. It'll be interesting to see how it all works with the Scout and I'm sure they'll be doing some cold weather testing in the coming years. If it doesn't perform well in the winter, that's a deal breaker for much of the US. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for your insight! I’m a Minnesotan aswell and it was great hearing about use cases in our state.
I wonder if the engine will really help much in the winter
