Stellantis Delays Electric Ram Truck to 2026, Prioritizes Hybrid Ramcharger Launch

The automaker cites slowing EV demand and strong consumer interest in hybrids as reasons for the shift in its product timeline.

Stellantis announced the Ram 1500 Ramcharger, a range-extended hybrid truck, will launch in the first half of 2025, ahead of the delayed all-electric Ram 1500 REV, now set for 2026.
The Ramcharger combines a 92 kWh battery with a gas-powered generator, offering up to 690 miles of range and advanced bi-directional charging capabilities.
The decision reflects slower-than-expected adoption of fully electric trucks and increased consumer interest in hybrid models with extended range capabilities.
The Ramcharger is expected to deliver 663 horsepower, tow up to 14,000 pounds, and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, positioning it as a high-performance hybrid option.
This shift in strategy follows a leadership shakeup at Stellantis, with Tim Kuniskis returning as Ram CEO earlier this month to address declining sales and delayed product rollouts.
