Electric Ram 1500 DOA as RamPivots to Range-Extender
Original: The Electric Ram 1500 Was Obsolete Before Launch, And A V6 Gas Generator Buried It Completely
Ram's planned electric 1500 pickup has been cancelled, with the automaker shifting focus to a range-extender version that uses a V6 gasoline engine as a generator. Commentators argue the battery-electric truck was effectively outdated before reaching showrooms, as buyer demand for full-size electric pickups has softened and the extended-range approach offers longer range without charging dependence. The move marks a major retreat from Ram's earlier electrification promises and reflects a broader industry slowdown on EV pickups.
Why now: Stellantis confirmed Ram is cancelling the full electric 1500 in favour of the Ramcharger extended-range model, a significant reversal of its EV plans.
