🚚 Ram Delays Electric Truck Launches Amid Market Shifts

📆 Revised Timelines for Ram's Electric Trucks

Ram 1500 REV: Initially set for a 2025 debut, the all-electric truck is now pushed back to summer 2027, arriving as a 2028 model year.
Ram 1500 Ramcharger: The plug-in hybrid version is now expected to launch in Q1 2026.

🛠️ Reasons Behind the Delays

Extended Validation: Ram is extending its vehicle validation phase to ensure the trucks meet high standards before release.
Shift in Market Demand: A cooling in demand for battery-electric pickups contributed to the delay of the fully electric REV model.

⚡ What to Expect from Each Model

Ram 1500 REV: This model is expected to feature a 168 kWh battery pack and deliver an estimated range of about 350 miles, lower than the previously announced 500-mile target.
Ram 1500 Ramcharger: A plug-in hybrid with a 92 kWh battery and a gasoline-powered generator offering an estimated range of up to 690 miles.

🏭 Production and Facility Investment

Both vehicles will be produced at a dedicated plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan, which has received a significant investment for electric vehicle manufacturing upgrades.

🔄 Strategic Shift to Hybrids First

Due to evolving consumer interest, Ram is prioritizing the Ramcharger hybrid model ahead of the all-electric REV to provide greater range flexibility and appeal to a broader audience.
