The Ram 1500 REV fully electric pickup is officially cancelled. However, the company has redirected to its extended-range version.
Stellantis, the parent company of Ram, announced employment has been tricky. Reds conceived a battery-electric full-size pickup due to declining demand for all-electric trucks in North America.
Notably, the company will explore an Extended Range Electric Vehicle (REEV), wherein a battery is paired with an internal combustion engine as a generator with an estimated 690-mile range.
"As demand slows for full-size battery electric trucks, Stellantis is realising, as part of its reassessing its product plan, that it will discontinue development of a full-size BEV pickup. As part of that, Ram will rename its REEV-powered pickup to Ram 1500 REV (previously Ramcharger). This vehicle will be a new benchmark in the half-tonne range for range, towing capability and payload capability."
The decision is a huge shift from Stellantis' earlier announcement to launch more than 25 new all-electric vehicles in the US by 2030. The all-electric Ram 1500 was scheduled for production starting in 2024, then pushed to 2025 and lastly into 2026.
The extended-range Ram 1500 REV will now lead Ram’s electrification efforts, aiming to appeal to customers who want EV technology but still need long range and heavy-duty capability for towing and hauling.
