Ram Trucks' EV Strategy Shift

  • Ram Trucks has officially confirmed it will not build a pure electric Ram 1500, a model often referred to as the "Ram Charger."
  • 📌 This decision was scheduled for a 2027 release but is now being re-evaluated.

Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) Focus

  • 🔋 Instead of a pure EV, Ram will proceed with developing an extended range electric vehicle (EREV).
  • 💡 This EREV is essentially a hybrid vehicle featuring a gas-powered generator that powers the electric motors.
  • 📈 Stellantis has seen success with similar extended-range vehicles, indicating a consumer preference for them over pure electric options.

Consumer Demand for Extended Range

  • 💬 Consumers are increasingly expressing interest in extended range electric vehicles as an alternative to fully electric models.
  • 🛣️ The proposed Ram EREV could potentially offer an impressive range of up to 690 miles if it meets expectations.
