"As demand for full-size battery-electric trucks slows in North America, Stellantis is reassessing its product strategy and will discontinue development of a full-size BEV pickup, the company's statement reads. As part of this, Ram is renaming its REEV-powered pickup to Ram 1500 REV (formerly Ramcharger). This vehicle will set a new benchmark in the half-ton segment, offering exceptional range, towing capability and payload performance."
"The Ram 1500 all-electric pickup was part of parent company Stellantis' U.S. product offensive to sell more than 25 all-new BEVs by the end of the decade. But its future has been in question for months now. After a splashy reveal at CES 2023, and other showcases in the months that followed, Stellantis wavered on its EV truck plans. Stellantis initially said it would begin producing the vehicle in 2024. That date soon slipped to 2025."
Stellantis discontinued development of a full-size battery-electric Ram 1500 REV, citing slowing North American demand for full-size BEV trucks. Ram will rename its REEV-powered pickup to Ram 1500 REV (formerly Ramcharger) and pursue an extended-range design that combines a battery with a gasoline generator to reach an estimated 690 miles of range. The all-electric Ram 1500 had been part of Stellantis' U.S. plan to launch more than 25 new BEVs, but the model faced repeated delays from planned production in 2024 to slips into 2025 and 2026. Earlier concepts featured a broad-shouldered pickup, longer cabin, third-row jump seats, and large battery options.
