Range-extended Ram 1500 Ramcharger to Lead Brand's Electrification Push

Stellantis has announced a shift in its launch strategy, prioritizing the release of the range-extended Ram 1500 Ramcharger ahead of the Ram 1500 REV, the brand's first battery-electric light-duty pickup truck. Initially, the Ram 1500 REV was scheduled for launch in the first half of 2025.

The decision to prioritize the launch of the Ram 1500 Ramcharger was driven by strong consumer interest, the need to maintain a competitive edge in technology, and a slowdown in industry demand for half-ton battery-electric pickups.

Ramcharger will be open for consumer orders in the first half of 2025 followed by the Ram 1500 REV launch in 2026.

The Sterling Heights (Michigan) Assembly Plant will continue to be the primary home for Ram 1500 production – including electrified and internal combustion engine versions – and play a key role in bringing this industry-leading technology to market.

The all-new 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger with a class-shattering targeted range of up to 690 miles (1,110 kilometers) is the latest example of how Ram will offer customers benchmark gas and electric vehicles delivering disruptive, leading-edge advanced technology. The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger features a 92 kilowatt-hour battery pack, paired with an on-board 130 kW generator, sending power to 250 kW front and 238 kW rear electric drive modules (EDMs). Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-home bi-directional charging affords the Ram 1500 Ramcharger the flexibility to charge another Stellantis battery-electric vehicle or provide power back to the grid. Targeted performance figures include a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds, 663 horsepower and over 615 lb.-ft. of torque, up to a best-in-class 14,000 pounds towing with a class 5 hitch and a best-in-class maximum payload capacity of 2,625 pounds.
