Scout Motors celebrated the start of construction on its $2 billion electric SUV plant in South Carolina on Thursday not with a line of people in suits with shovels but with a nod to the company's gasoline-powered past. A fleet of old Scout vehicles drove a brick from the site of the former factory in Fort Wayne, Indiana — where the rugged, boxy precursors to SUVs were built in the 1960s and 1970s — to the site where Volkswagen Group-backed new company is trying to revive the brand. Scout thinks the market for its $50,000 electric SUV isn't with a futuristic appearance but rather something resembling how the vehicles once looked but with all the environmental and driving benefits of an electric vehicle.
