AUBURN HILLS—Stellantis announced that it would pull launch timing of its range-extended Ram 1500 Ramcharger ahead of Ram 1500 REV, the company’s first battery-electric light duty pickup truck. Ram brand originally planned to launch the Ram 1500 REV in the first half of 2025.
The decision to launch Ramcharger first was driven by overwhelming consumer interest, maintaining a competitive advantage in the technology and slowing 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 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 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.
Ram is part of the portfolio of brands offered by leading global automaker and mobility provider Stellantis. For more information regarding Stellantis (NYSE: STLA), please visit www.stellantis.com.
