Image: Ram Ram brand owner Stellantis is delaying its long-awaited all-electric Ram 1500 Rev pickup truck from the first half of 2025 to 2026. The automaker is now prioritizing the launch of its gas-extended hybrid Ramcharger truck, which is also being delayed beyond the first half of 2025 that it originally targeted. Stellantis says launching the Ramcharger first is a decision “driven by overwhelming consumer interest” and a slowdown in demand for heavy all-electric models. Stellantis’ CEO Carlos Tavares, stepped down earlier this month following a sharp decline in the automaker’s sales. The company has been accused of degrading its US brands and failing to release more affordable models. The Ramcharger and the Rev are both built on Stellantis’ STLA Frame body-on-frame platform designed to handle electric, gas, hybrid, and hydrogen powertrains. The platform helps stretch the Ramcharger gas-extended EV range up to 690 miles on a full charge and tank. Stellantis and battery partner Samsung SDI just secured a federal loan from the Biden administration to build domestic EV batteries.
