Ram 1500 Ramcharger: Leading the Charge in Electrification with Range-Extended Technology

December 18, 2024, Turin – Stellantis announced today that it has made the decision to 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 BEV pickups.

Ramcharger will be open for consumer orders in US in the first half of 2025 followed by the Ram 1500 REV launch in 2026. Availability for European customers will be announced separately.

The Ram 1500 Ramcharger, with a 690-mile range and groundbreaking technology, will lead Ram's electrification push, launching in 2025 ahead of the Ram 1500 REV.
