Ram Cancels Electric 1500, Rebrands Range-Extended Pickup as 1500 REV

The shift follows weakening U.S. demand for full-size battery-electric pickups.

Overview

  • Stellantis confirmed it has ended development of a full-size battery-electric Ram 1500 after reassessing market demand.
  • Ram will apply the Ram 1500 REV name to its range-extended electric pickup, previously called Ramcharger, which will become the production model.
  • The range-extended truck is described with two electric motors, a 92-kWh battery, and a Pentastar V6 that functions solely as a generator, plus a tow rating of about 14,000 pounds and payload up to 2,625 pounds.
  • Reporting indicates the range-extended model’s U.S. arrival has slipped from 2025 to early 2026.
  • The canceled all-electric program had been delayed multiple times from late 2024 to 2025 and then to mid-2027 as forecasts for large BEV pickup demand softened.
