Introducing the Ram 1500 Rev
Well, folks, it looks like the Ram’s electric dreams have been put on ice. Stellantis has officially canceled the much-anticipated all-electric Ram pickup truck, much to the dismay of truck lovers everywhere. Once hailed as the competitor to beat in the world of battery-electric vehicles, the Ram pickup was intended to blow us all away with a massive 168 kWh battery offering 350 miles of range. But after multiple delays stretching to mid-2027, Ram thought there might be a better road ahead.
Goodbye All-Electric, Hello Range-Extended
In a surprising plot twist, Stellantis has pivoted from its electric offering to something called the Ram 1500 Rev—a range-extended electric vehicle (REEV). Touting an impressive 647 horsepower and up to 690 miles of range, the Rev gives a nod to those who crave power without compromising on efficiency. This isn’t just an ordinary pickup; it’s got dual electric motors and a 92 kWh battery alongside a 3.6 L V-6 engine. Sounds like the perfect balance of brawn and brain!
Is the Future Bright for Ram?
Set for an early 2026 launch with a starting price around ,000, the Ram 1500 Rev might just set new benchmarks in the half-ton segment, according to Ram’s CEO, Tim Kuniskis. Will it deliver on its promises? Only time will tell! While we mourn the loss of the all-electric option, the Rev might just keep the Ram name relevant in the evolving market of electric trucks. Stay tuned for what may come from the Ram camp in the future—who knew being ‘revved’ up could mean being range-extended?
